Main characteristics and application of
Roll roofing materials are popular due to their unique qualities, such as:
- durability( service life is 10-30 years);
- strength;
- elasticity;
- water resistance;
- resistance to mechanical damage;
- resistance to sudden changes in temperature.
The soft roof can be used in all regions of our country, especially justifiably its application in regions where the severe and cold climate. It is an indispensable means of covering the roof of buildings and buildings of any purpose, sealing viaducts and bridges, canals and pools, as well as tunnels and garages.
Important! The correct choice of the deposited material does not guarantee reliable roofing, it is also necessary to properly design the roof structure and observe all the technologies for performing the work.
Assembly and storage of
The covering of a new roof from the deposited materials takes place in two layers. First of all, it is necessary to clear the surface of dust, dirt and debris. Then treat it with mastic, which is glued to the first layer of the fabric. After that, glass wool is laid on it. Be sure to keep the glass wool flat. On top of the glass wool is attached a second layer of the canvas.
To ensure that the material is glued together, a burner is used. At the same time, it is necessary to observe safety techniques while working with an open flame. Lay the linen is necessary so that the overlap of each subsequent sheet was 20 cm of the previous, while they should be arranged in the direction of draining.
If only the repair of the old roofing is required, the deposited material is applied in one layer. In this case, it can either be glued to the mastic, or fixed mechanically. Repairing the roof of the deposited materials is the most qualitative and inexpensive method for eliminating defects.
With proper storage of the soft roof, all of its positive characteristics are retained. Keep the rolls strictly in the vertical position, while they should stand far from the heating devices, and should not be exposed to direct sunlight and humidity. Transportation of rolls is necessary in the covered body of a truck transport, placing them vertically, while one can place rolls on each other only in 1-2 rows.
Important! If the material is transported in a horizontal position, then it can be laid one on one, but not more than 5 rows of .
Waterproofing
In the modern construction market, you can buy a variety of weldable waterproofing materials, different in structure, properties, composition, service life and scope.
The most important factors that concern every customer are the longevity of the material and its cost. Better indicators of durability are fused bitumen-polymer roll sealing.
Available weld materials are divided into three price classes:
- economy class( low);
- standard class( medium);
- premium class( high).
To choose a durable and really reliable roofing material, you must strictly adhere to the selection criteria.
