Hot Melt Roof System
Bauder Hot Melt waterproofing system is designed for use in inverted or buried roof scenarios.
Hot Melt Roof System
Bauder Bakor Hot Melt System achieves a CCPI mark which recognises that any claims made about it have been independently assessed across 11 clauses, providing greater clarity by offering improved product information. This gives specifiers confidence in the knowledge that they will have unambiguous information when deciding which of our systems is best for their new build or refurbishment project.
When to specify
Bauder Hot Melt waterproofing system is a hot applied polymer modified bitumen waterproofing applied in two layers with a polyester reinforcement. It is capable of a 100% bond to the approved surfaces it is applied.
Hot melt structural waterproofing is particularly advantageous for protected, inverted, or buried roofs such as biosolar roofs, blue roofs, green roofs, paved, terraces, podiums, plazas and car parks. The solution is primarily for new build projects.
Due to its composition, it remains in a live state, giving it the strength and flexibility to cope with the stresses and strains of the building it protects for the length of time it remains.
Plus points
- Compatible with various landscaping finishes including hard landscaping, green roofs, blue roofs and biosolar solutions.
- Range of insulations including non-combustible options.
- Seamless application provides monolithic waterproofing.
- Full adhesion to deck substrate.
- Comprehensive guarantees to meet project needs

Six steps is all it takes
Brief and consultation
You give us your remit either at your office or on-site. We will discuss the roofing project, your preferred system application, your budget and how the programme of work can be formulated.
Roof element proposal
Together we can determine which roofing system and specific build up will be optimal for each individual roof area on your project given the construction type, level of access and required performance.
Specification and detail design
You will receive the Bauder specification package that answers your brief and meets the needs of the building. As a specialist designer for our solutions, we work with the Principal Designer to include relevant standard detail drawings and other technical calculations.
Contractor selection
The Bauder approved contractors best placed to deliver your new roof will competitively price and tender for your project. Our national network of contractors undergo a rigorous selection process and their installers are trained specifically in the application of our systems, so you are ensured an expert installation.
Installation of the roofing solution
Once the Bauder approved contractor has been appointed, a pre-contract meeting will make sure that the project delivery is well coordinated. The works are closely monitored by Bauder site technicians with regular inspections and live time reports to ensure the quality and waterproof integrity of the roof.
Sign off and guarantee
A full final inspection is completed by our site technician team before the guarantee is issued.
Bauder’s service doesn’t just stop once the roof installation has been completed, we provide industry-leading guarantees on our products that are installed by our national network of approved contractors.
