Aluminum with bitumen for flat roof insulation. Although aluminum counts as a tough metal, an aluminum foil can for sure be pierced or torn by pointed and sharp edged objects. This is due to its low material thickness, which can be in the range between a few micrometers and millimeters Especially when it is placed on a soft surface, like for example on an insulating materialIn context of building insulation, such risks exist above all in the processing and in accesible roofs that are flat. This problem disappears, if the aluminum foil is combined with bitumen to a composite material in a similar way to aluminum composite plates.The bitumen on flat roofs protects the 8011 aluminum foil from damage.

Pipe is insulated with AluminumIn the case of building insulation, it is thus advantageous for the reliability of the seal if the 8011 aluminum foil serving as a vapor barrier is protected by a bitumen sealing strip as if the metal foil is merely connected to an insulation material, like for example mineral wool.Bitumen sealing sheets with aluminum foil are suitable for all kinds of flat roofs, for cold roofs and as well for warm roofs (with and without load).

Aluminum foil with bitumen for industrial roof constructions. The building insulation of roofs in the field of industry must fulfull certain special requirements, especially with regard to fire protection.Bitumen roof sheets with support of 8011 aluminum foil also meet these requirements. They meet the requirements of DIN 18 234 for fire protection for large-area roofs. Those are often found in the industry. In the case of fires in the interior of the building, such aluminum bitumen roof sheets do not have a fire-retardant effect.Aluminum roof sheets are suitable for conventional roof constructions with insulation underneath of the vapor barrier, and as well for inverted roofs, where insulation materials lie above. Here in this type of construction, it is advantageous with industry roofs that the waterproofing with bitumen and aluminum foil is applied as a first layer during the construction of the roof structure. It can then serve as an emergency seal until the actual insulation material and the support have been applied and used up.While sealing sheets with aluminum foil in form of welding strips require a full-surface support, there is special self-adhesive variants that are also suitable for application to trapezoidal sheets. Self-adhesive bitumen sheets with 8011 aluminum foil are also very suitable for sealing vertical building parts.
