Why Choose Tecnatorch?

This product isn’t just about great looks—though the charcoal finish certainly adds a modern touch. It’s built with SBS-modified bitumen, a blend of bitumen and synthetic rubber (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene), which gives the felt flexibility, elasticity, and excellent cold resistance. It adapts well to structural movement, remains robust in cold conditions, and forms a highly reliable, watertight seal. Tecnatorch also features cutting-edge mini groove technology, allowing it to be installed up to 30% faster than traditional torch-on felts—while using 25% less gas in the process. It’s safe, efficient, and easier to handle, with a low-flame application method that makes it ideal for contractors prioritising safety and speed on site. Built to Withstand the Elements Tecnatorch is designed with long-term protection in mind. It offers superb resistance against mould, moss, fungi, lichen, bacteria, and freeze-thaw cycles. Its strong lap security defends against wind uplift, while the fully waterproof surface ensures reliable performance during heavy rain or snow. The felt also boasts excellent dimensional stability, allowing it to flex and move with the building—without cracking or failing over time.
