Where is the polymer membrane used?
- For roof waterproofing.
- Repair of old flat roofing.
- Waterproofing foundations, in order to protect buildings from groundwater and surface water flows and protection from the effects of chemical and radioactive substances.
- For laying a shelter with ballast, for example pebbles or vegetation.
- For coating pools and showers requiring waterproofing.
- For terraces and greened loggias.
- For waterproofing bridges.
- For waterproofing of tunnels.
- For strengthening multi-storey car parks.
- Floors in pools and showers can also be protected with this material.
- For drinking water supply piping.
Used primarily for repairing roofs and arranging roofs. This was the reason that now polymer clay is made in all kinds of colors and textures. Has aesthetic characteristics and is easy to install.
In which cases is the polymer membrane manufactured?
- composite, consisting of polyvinyl chloride;
- thermoplastic elastomers, composed of artificial rubber;
- polymeric PVC membrane, the most in demand in Ukraine and Russia.
It is also perfectly used for planting green plants on the roof of the house.
Compelling advantages of
- It has a high level of strength and elasticity of the fabric, which it received due to special reinforcement with polyesters and the addition of plasticizing stabilizing components. These add-ons allow you to save your quality for a long time.
- The membrane is easy to use, quickly mounted on the plane of the shelter, using hot air from a manual and automatic welding machine.
- Due to the use of the above-mentioned PVC compounds, the membrane performs its protective functions even under sunlight, temperature changes and precipitation.
Next, we describe the properties and qualities of the membrane of the company Technonikol and how it is installed.
TechnoNikol Company implements an integrated approach to the installation of the roof and provides a number of technical solutions. The specialists compiled a list of components for the installation of the membrane:
- insulating material;
- vapor barrier film;
- telescopic fasteners;
- funnels;
- layers for the separation of polyester;
- fiberglass;
- sealant.
On these components the company provides a guarantee.
Climatic features of our territories have contributed to the fact that the company TechnoNicol together with its European partners have created special recipes for membrane, which would be much better than the standard recipe.
Features of the installation of PVC membrane membrane Technonikol
Unique property - the withdrawal of excess steam into the atmosphere through the under-roof space. For such purposes, specifically there is a roofing pie with a fleece backing that protects against mechanical irritation of the waterproofing layers and allows the membrane to be fixed with glue compounds.
Significantly reduce labor costs and increase the speed of work will allow such things.
- Complete dismantling of the old roofing cake.
- System of adhesive polymer roof, which allows you to restore waterproofing carpet and make additional insulation.
Mounting of the membrane is carried out in different weather conditions, frost, humidity are not terrible, since all operations are performed under a stream of hot air heating the membrane. The installation procedure includes mandatory inspection of welds.
The membrane is suitable for installation of a new roofing system, as well as for repairing an old one. Apply for a roof with a different gradient from 0 to 90 degrees. Lay on various bases, beginning with reinforced concrete ending with lightweight concrete and wood.
Interesting from the point of view of construction specialists is the created program for calculating wind load, which determines all types of fasteners for normal fixation of the roof.
The polymer membrane is manufactured in various colors( the color is stored for 10 years) and allows to fulfill any aesthetic ideas of the architect.
The effect of ultraviolet rays can be reduced by a light gray color that does not attract much light and therefore high temperature.
Environmental and safety is ensured by the non-use of lead and other harmful components, which provide significant harm to the surrounding world. This allows you to reduce its weight and thickness( 1.2 mm) and extends the service life - up to 30 years.
Also to help with the installation can come guidance SNIP N-26-76 "Roof. Norms of designing ", in which the written out many constructive decisions for builders.
In Russia, the membranes are produced at the factory "Logjikruf", which operates in accordance with unique technologies for manufacturing PVC membranes. Also this enterprise has developed a system of client assistance, which guarantees high-quality service and technical support.
