Roofs
Sunshine Mosque - Australia
The Proctor Wraptite-SA air tight
membrane was used as part of
the refurbishment of the Sunshine
Mosque dome in Melbourne,
Australia.
The Sunshine Mosque is an
Ottoman/Turkish style mosque in
Sunshine, a suburb of Melbourne,
Australia. This complex structure
comprises of seventeen domes, a
minaret, and a courtyard.
The existing concrete dome roofs
were leaking and need to be
re-roofed in Zinc. As part of this refurbishment, a watertight underlay
and separation layer was required
to go under the VM Zinc Plus.
The local Proctor membrane
distributor, Dynamic Composite
Technologies, recommended the
use of Wraptite-SA. Wraptite-SA
was an ideal solution to the
water ingress problems on such a
complex domed roof. As a result,
the domes have been restored to
their former glory with minimum
disruption.
Wraptite-SA combines the best
properties of a vapour permeable
membrane and an air-barrier in
one innovative, affordable self-adhering product.
The membrane fully bonds (no
mechanical attachment) to almost
any substrate for air tightness
and ease of installation, requiring

minimal use of sealants or tapes. Installation is quick and easy, offering
labour savings to any project.
