The basic material used in the manufacture of a soft roof - bitumen. It comes in three types, they are described in the table below:

Such feedstocks long retains elasticity and hardens in a few years, resulting in damage to the roof in strong winds.

att1485446437 APP-modified bitumen. Produced by the introduction of the special additives, which ensures the preservation of the initial parameters of products at high temperatures.

In this embodiment the frost becomes brittle, so it is used in southern areas with mild winters.

att1485446438 SBS-modified bitumen. Special additive helps the sheets with increased flexibility and ductility even at sub-zero temperatures.

Thanks to this material is suitable for most regions. I recommend products from SBS-modified bitumen as the highest quality.

Besides bitumen composition shingles include other components:

  • The basis. This can be a glass fiber, and felts of synthetic fibers. The first option is preferable because of higher levels of strength;
  • Outdoor sprinkling. The service life of a bituminous flexible roof depends on how well the surface is protected from damage by ultraviolet radiation. As used flouring basalt or mineral aggregates. The main requirement for this part - the surface must be completely covered;

  • material weight - Another important aspect in determining the quality of roofing. Shingles square meter may weigh from 6 to 15 kilograms. I recommend to use a lot of options of 8 kilograms, since thinner sheets unreliable.

The first is a solid floor on roofs with a slight slope. The second is used to create additional Gidrobarer at the edges of the roof.

Price first embodiment 1-2 thousand per roll 15 square meters, the second - from 2.5 thousands of the same roll

att1485446443-1 Adhesive sealant. Needs for bonding lining materials and additional fixation of roofing where it is needed.

Bitumen mastic is better to choose the same brand as the roof, or use the options recommended by the manufacturer.

The cost of packaging weighing 5 kg is from 2 to 3 thousand.

att1485446448 Konkovo-cornice tiles. Sold together with a base material, its quantity is calculated over the length of the eaves and junctions. Here the most important thing - to buy the right color.

It is better to buy them separately, since sellers flexible roofing prices in half to two times higher than in specialized stores fasteners.

Products sold by weight, a kilogram costs 100-150 rubles.

It is best to consult with the developers who made roofing shingles. Ideally, if it had lain 10 years, then there will be visible all the flaws if any.
