Hot melt waterproofing for podiums and terraces
Hot melt systems use reinforced, hot-applied membranes to deliver robust waterproofing for podiums, terraces and demanding roof areas. DF Roofing installs hot melt systems across Essex, London and the South East.
We detail interface zones, protection layers and access routes to keep high-traffic areas resilient.
Where hot melt performs best
Hot melt is ideal for complex podiums, intensive green roofs and roofs with frequent access requirements.
Typical hot melt scope includes:
- Podium decks and terraces
- Planters and intensive green roofs
- High traffic access zones
- Complex detailing at upstands and penetrations
