Bitumen roof sheets

Bitumen roof sheets are a common choice for covering outbuildings, garages, and agricultural structures. Made from bitumen-saturated fibres, they offer flexibility and resistance to weathering. Unlike metal or polycarbonate alternatives, bitumen sheets absorb less heat and reduce condensation, making them useful in humid conditions. Historically, builders have used bitumen-based materials for waterproofing roofs and foundations, with modern versions now reinforced with plastic for added durability.

These sheets can be used on both pitched and curved roofs, fixed with simple fasteners for quick installation. They’re often seen in industrial and rural settings, where cost-effective, lightweight roofing is needed. While traditional applications focused on agricultural and temporary structures, newer designs provide options for permanent roofing solutions.
