BITUPLUS G 4200

Mineral surfaced bituminous waterproofing membrane

BITUPLUS G 4200 is a high performance polymer modified bituminous waterproofing membrane, surfaced

with reflective natural color slates to provide maximum protection against UV. The presence of the slates
provides a mechanical protection against light foot traffic and occasional maintenance as well as offering
an aesthetic surface. It is an ideal membrane for roofing and exposed applications where it can be placed
on top of the existing surface and providing an economical and efficient solution to leaking roofs.
