For property owners in Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire looking for a superior flat roofing solution, Resitrix has emerged as the gold standard in modern roofing technology. As Cambridge's trusted roofing experts, we're proud to offer this innovative system that combines exceptional durability with practical benefits for the unique East Anglian climate. This comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about Resitrix roofing and why it's becoming the preferred choice for discerning Cambridge property owners.
Resitrix stands apart from conventional roofing materials thanks to its innovative hybrid technology. Resitrix is the only hybrid waterproofing membrane that combines the advantages of synthetic rubber (EPDM) and high-quality polymer modified bitumen in a single product. This unique composition delivers the perfect balance of flexibility, durability, and ease of installation.
Unlike traditional single-ply membranes or older bitumen based systems, Resitrix offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the specific challenges faced by Cambridge properties, from historic city centre buildings to modern developments across the region.
Cambridge's variable weather conditions demand roofing materials that can withstand everything from summer heat waves to winter frosts. Resitrix excels in this environment, with a life expectancy of over 50 years when properly installed. This exceptional lifespan makes it one of the most cost effective long-term investments for your property.
The material maintains its flexibility and integrity throughout extreme temperature fluctuations, unlike traditional materials that may crack, shrink or deteriorate over time. For Cambridge property owners, this means decades of reliable protection with minimal maintenance requirements.
Cambridge's position in East Anglia means our properties experience particular weather challenges, from driving rain to increasing UV exposure due to climate change. Resitrix is engineered to excel under these conditions with outstanding resistance to:
