Bituminous Membrane

IKO Carrara

IKO Carrara is an innovative, ecological roofing membrane combining all known technologies for the improvement of the environment. To reduce extremely damaging, so-called secondary particle matter in the air, IKO Carrara brings together many different innovations to create ‘Air Care Technology’.IKO Carrara mineral finish is coated with a special type of titanium dioxide (TiO2). UV rays cause the membrane to act as a catalyst to convert nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides (NOx and SOx) – which contribute to the acidification of the environment and the greenhouse effect – into harmless and environmentally neutral substances.

System Benefits

Purifies air by converting NOx (nitrogen oxide) and SOx (sulphur oxide) into harmless environmentally-neutral substances
Cool Roof Technology reflects and radiates absorbed heat through infrared radiation, so less internal cooling is needed.
A Solar Reflective Index (SRI) of 82.
Lifespan > 35 years.
UV protection from the white mineral finish also lowers surface temperatures.by over 30°C, reducing thermal shocks and extending service life by at least 5 years.
Improves the urban environment by reducing the ‘Urban Heat Island Effect’.- a blanket of hot air above cities.
Made from recycled materials including regenerated bitumen from old roof coverings and obsolete stock. The high quality reinforcing carrier uses recycled polymers.
Improves the performance of solar panels.
100% green energy is used in the manufacture of IKO Carrara.
