Bitumen waterproofing membrane is a protective layer made from modified bitumen like APP Membrane and SBS membrane and reinforcements like polyester or fiberglass. It prevents water penetration in roofs, basements, and foundations. Basekim membranes are ideal for Qatar’s hot, humid climate.
Why Bitumen Membrane Is Essential in Qatar
Qatar experiences:
High summer temperatures (up to 50°C)
Saline air near coastal zones
Rare but intense rainfall
These conditions demand a membrane that is flexible, UV-resistant, and heat-tolerant. Our membranes are designed to resist cracking, blistering, and premature aging.
