Bitumen treatments · Enkonol

A bitumen roof isn't finished just because it's old

Sun and temperature swings evaporate the natural oils in bitumen, and the roofing hardens. Enkonol treatment soaks into the membrane and restores its flexibility.

How the treatment works

Intensive care for brittle roofs

Enkonol penetrates deep into the membrane and restores the bitumen's elasticity. The roofing stops cracking, and on granule-surfaced bitumen the treatment also binds loose granules.

Combined with Enkopur® sealing of critical seams, it is a safe, cost-effective way to extend the life of a bitumen roof without premature replacement.

About flat roofs

Granule-surfaced roofing collects moisture, moss and dirt that slow down drying. Smooth roofing such as Derbigum dries faster. Either way, regular maintenance matters more to the roof's condition than the roof type.
