. The shelf life of such material is up to 30 years, it is used as a roof for buildings and as a waterproofing for bridges and viaducts, tunnels and garages, canals and pools. In all regions of Russia, this universal coating, called still a waterproof, glass-insulated or rolled waterproofing, finds its use.

The surfacing roof has more advantages than disadvantages. The roll roof is durable and elastic, does not leak water, is resistant to mechanical damage and temperature changes, is easily repaired. Bad in it only that it is fire dangerous, and for its laying requires an open fire.

To perform the installation of the welded roof, you need to prepare the rolls, bitumen mastic, propane burner and a regular broom to sweep the trash from the roof. The first thing you need to take care of fire safety - remove the trash, rags and anything that can easily catch fire. It is better to be safe and prepare water, sand and shovel, for the same "fire" case.

The roll roof is laid on flat roofs or on roofs with a pitched angle of not more than 20 degrees. These are garages, various farm buildings and other small objects. What used to be covered with roofing felt is now covered with a roll roofing. This is much safer and more economical, given the long life of the new material.

Roofing, which can be welded by hand, can be stacked in two ways: you can warm up the rolls themselves or fasten the material with hot bituminous mastic. Regardless of the method, you need to stack the material in several layers, achieving maximum insulation. At repair the roof can be laid in one layer, and on a new roof it is necessary to lay at least two.

The technology of installing the welded roof is quite simple. First, you need to inspect the roof and get rid of the protrusions or rods that can break through the roll. It must be remembered that the roll roof is the last layer on the roof, and the heater or other material must already be fixed.

Then you need to remove the garbage. Lay the roof in dry, windless weather. If rolls need to be transported, it is done by covered vehicles to prevent spoilage by sunlight or water. Transport better vertically in 1-2 rows in height, and in a horizontal position no more than 5 rolls in height.

The first layer can be fastened with nails or glued with hot mastic. When using mastic, it is heated and applied still hot on the width of the roll and no more than 1 meter in length. Then take a roll and heat a part of it with a burner for 15-20 seconds until signs of melting of the mastic appear. The heated roll is placed on the mastic and continues until the first layer is finished.

Rolls are laid from bottom to top and across the angle of the roof slope. The next roll is overlapping so that the running water does not get to the roof. It is very useful to grease the edges of new rolls of bitumen mastic, this is an additional waterproofing.

The second layer is laid on top of the first layer, while it is necessary to heat the two layers with the burner so that the rolls are glued together. With careful and careful work, a solid roof is obtained, which can serve as faith and truth for several decades. Repair of such roofs is very simple. You just need to cut the damaged piece and replace it with a new one, warming up the burner and smearing the mastic.
