Fiberglass Roofing Tissue Mat
Fiberglass roofing tissue mat used as reinforcement material in waterproofing membranes and roofing systems. Compatible with bitumen and asphalt applications.
Key Features
- Good tensile strength
- Uniform fiber distribution
- Compatible with bitumen/asphalt
- Lightweight reinforcement
Overview
Fiberglass roofing tissue mat is a wet-laid reinforcement used inside waterproofing membranes and roofing systems. Engineered for compatibility with bitumen and asphalt, the mat is saturated with these binders to form durable, tear-resistant membranes that protect roofs against water ingress and weathering.
Available in weights from 30g to 100g/m², the tissue provides good tensile strength and a uniform fiber distribution, so the saturated membrane resists cracking and stretches consistently across its surface. As a lightweight reinforcement, it adds strength to shingles and membranes without significantly increasing weight or thickness.
Bonded with PVA or polyester binders, the roofing tissue integrates into bitumen-based waterproofing and shingle production lines. It is a core reinforcement for manufacturers of modified-bitumen membranes and asphalt roofing products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is roofing tissue compatible with bitumen and asphalt?
The mat is engineered to be saturated by bitumen and asphalt binders, forming a strong, tear-resistant waterproofing membrane. Its uniform fiber distribution ensures even saturation and consistent strength.
What weight range is available?
Roofing tissue is offered from 30g to 100g/m², so it can be matched to the strength and thickness requirements of different membranes and shingles.
What does the tissue add to a roofing membrane?
It provides tensile strength and dimensional stability as a lightweight reinforcement, helping the membrane resist cracking and tearing without adding significant weight.
