Innovation and technology
Research and Development play a vital role in our company’s aims to improve manufacturing and installation techniques. Development of new technologies is instrumental in meeting the future demands of the construction industry.
All products are subjected to rigorous testing before being certified as meeting relevant performance criteria. The Research and Development Laboratory replicates the environmental conditions to which membranes will be subjected – ie, tearing, extremes of temperature, ultraviolet radiation, and puncture.
Flag-Soprema is a pioneer in the design of testing equipment and the formulation of quality control methods that now represent the standard requirements within the roofing industry.
