Torch-on membranes have become one of the most reliable flat-roof systems used across Christchurch and Canterbury. These bitumen-based waterproof layers are perfect for flat roofs, balconies, and rooftop decks, where water pooling and UV exposure are major issues.
At CanSeal, we specialise in both new installations and re-sealing existing torch-on membranes. Christchurch’s strong summer UV and cold winter frosts create extreme expansion and contraction cycles , and when poorly maintained, older membranes crack or lift at the seams.
Our trained team applies reinforced two-layer membranes using professional heating and priming techniques for long-term adhesion. The result is a seamless, watertight finish that resists UV, hail, and ponding — ideal for Canterbury’s unpredictable weather.
Our licensed applicators bring years of local experience in membrane installation and detailing. Every project is completed to manufacturer standards, ensuring complete watertight integrity.
