What is a catapal? Its qualities
Katepal is a flexible tile with bitumen and coarse fiberglass elements. Bitumen tier has a protective layer of moisture. The next tier is represented by colored granules of crushed stones. Bitumen component has adhesive features that facilitate a simpler installation of the roof and do not require the involvement of specialists.
Cathepel has a number of advantages:
- High, years-proven quality of
- material. Its soft structure easily tolerates sharp drops and temperature rises.
- Not susceptible to climate
- Possesses fireproof properties. Absolutely safe
- Easily mounted
- Is able to absorb the noise of rain drops
- Has extensive color gamut
Negative qualities:
1. Overpriced
pricing policy It is important to note: The advantages of soft roofing of the cathepal are much greater. High cash outlay can pay off for a long life of the material.
soft roofing installation technology Installation begins with preparatory work. The roofing base is laid and ventilation is installed to avoid the destruction of the hydroprocesses. The accumulation of moisture contributes to condenser reactions, which have the property of freezing at minus temperature, melt when it increases and infiltrate into the thermolayer. Improper installation of the ventilation system leads to the appearance of a dangerous fungus and mold. In such cases, it is recommended to use a wood coating that removes condensation. The ventilation hole is mounted at the maximum height, the intake holes at the bottom of the roof.
Roofing base of wood has the ability to heat insulation and noise absorption.
When using the cathepal shroud tools are used:
- hammer
- hammer
- knife blade
- knife blade Metal cutting knife
- Measuring tape
- A rope serving as the
level The adhesive base of the cathepal adds ease of installation. Its joints fit tightly together and do not allow air and moisture to penetrate the surface.
Step-by-step instruction for installing
The Finnish company for the production of a cathepal has developed a construction carpet, which is the basis for bitumen roof shingles. The company took care of the instructions on the package. The carpet is placed directly on the roof exactly over the surface. It is fixed to the wooden boards with nails along the edges of the strip behind the strip. On the bases of the cornice, iron bars are screwed.
The carpet lies on the entire width of the roof. The upper end is nailed to the wooden flooring of one ramp. On the second slope the carpet is obliged to cover the skateboard by 15 centimeters.
The strips are fastened with a screwdriver and self-tapping screws. Instead of laths you can use wooden plates or slats.
The cathepal is installed from the central part of the cornice to the end of the roof. The initial tier is laid in such a way that the lower layer of the roof tile is 5 centimeters above the cornice tiles. The tile is cleaned from the protective film and screwed above the groove level. The maximum number of nails required is 6 pieces.
The initial marking of the seams will make it smooth.
Thermal insulation of roofing holes( ventilation, penetrations of antenna cables) is made by special sealing rubber bands. The hole of the pipe is insulated with a metal apron in order to avoid the ignition of the insulation material.
