With Roof-Protex, a brand was created which houses only the best products for roofs. Its uses are as versatile as the nonwoven material itself.

Absorption

Here, TWE nonwovens prevent condensation on uninsulated metal roofs, because temperature differences inside and outside a building cause moisture which then damages things and can allow mould to form. Our Roof-Protex nonwovens absorb moisture and then releases it as water vapour when the temperature is balanced out. It also reduces noise, for example during rain showers. 

Protection

Roof-Protex is used as a product in flat and pitched roof applications. During the installation of roofing and sealing membranes, it guarantees better adhesion. It also protects against stresses from the ground, and supports vapour pressure equalisation. Used in roof linings, the nonwoven increases rigidity and protects the membrane. 

Renovations

TWE nonwovens are also used in the renovation and/or sealing of balconies, car parks or other constructions. The products are characterised by their good impregnation capacity, and correspondingly easy workability. 

Special applications

TWE nonwovens are also used in the manufacture of ridge and arris rolls. The specially finished nonwoven is exceptionally durable and provides excellent aeration and ventilation of the ridge and arris. 

A number of fibre types and varieties are used here. In addition to standard viscose, PES and PP fibres, the range is complemented with special types with properties such as hydrophobia, flame-protection or UV-stability. There is also a large choice of additional finishing options to refine the nonwoven or add to its functionality.
