To arrange the waterproofing of structural elements of any structure using a variety of materials, a large range of which allows you to make the best choice. However, not every product can be said to be "universal" in application and suitable for all cases. For example, a traditional ruberoid does not withstand large temperature values. When elevated, it begins to "melt", and at low - it crackes.
By the way, this is one of the reasons why the new waterproofing material - a lindent, caused great interest in the Consumer. What is it? This is the basis( fiberglass, glass fiber or polyester fiber), which is treated with a special mixture( bitumen oxidized + polymer additives).All types of material have additional protection in the form of a layer of surface "sprinkling" or a thin polymer film. This technology determines the properties of the final product, which are completely sufficient for its universal use as a waterproofing.
Easy installation
The technology is simple. Cloths are fixed by fusing, and they can be used for any substrate( wood, concrete, brick and so on).If the installation is done on a "bare" surface, it is recommended to make a two-layer installation. In some cases, the linocrom can "strengthen" the existing hydroprotection, while only 1 layer of material will suffice.
Convenience is that the width of production is fixed - 1 m. As for other sizes of the linocrom, the length in the roll can be either 10 m or 15. This allows not only to accurately calculate the required amount of material, but also facilitates its transportation. Speaking about linear parameters, it is worth noting that there are some differences in the thickness of the canvases. For products with the designation K, it is 3.7 mm, and for P - by 1 mm less.
Resistance to external influences
The material does not lose its qualities to +80 ºС inclusive. This is achieved by using as an impregnating composition not ordinary bitumen, but oxidized, which is characterized by increased heat resistance.
Light weight
Density( kg / m2) varies from 3.85( EPP) to 5.1( HCP).This allows you not to worry, for example, whether the roof system will withstand the total load when using this material. In addition, it is easier to work with such products alone, which is also a significant "plus"( considering the size of the bands).You can align yourself on your own, fix it, rearrange it.
Long service life
If you analyze the brochures of all well-known manufacturers, then it lies in the range of 10 - 15 years. Although this period can be increased. Much depends on the compliance with the rules of laying and the climate in the region. As an example - the expiration date of roofing material as a waterproofing agent is no more than 4-5 years, even in the most "greenhouse" conditions.
Repairability of
Specialists claim that this material can easily be restored, so when renovating a building it is not necessary to change it. In many cases, it is only necessary to carry out the necessary measures for "renewal".
Decoding of the product designation
It is available in several modifications, which determines the specific application.
For the "roofing" pie
- primary layers - CCI, CPR, HPP.
- top - UPC, TCH, ECP, HCV.
For waterproofing surfaces
- All of the above, except for HCP and HPP.
The meanings of the letters
The first is the base material:
- C is fiberglass.
- X - fiberglass.
- E - polyester.
- T - fiberglass skeleton.
The second and third type of the upper protective layer:
- Mineral powder: K - coarse-grained, M - fine fractions.
- Polymer film - P.
liner varieties
The cheapest type of products. Accordingly, the service life is less than that of other species. More suitable for repairing small areas of the surface, such as a garage roof.
"Standard"
The most purchased variety. The optimum ratio of price and quality. Most often used for arranging a soft roof.
"Business"
Above is not only the quality, but also the cost of the roll.
"Premium"
In a wide range of consumers, large demand does not mean high cost. But the service life is several decades.
Given the variety of products under the general name of "lynchrom", it makes sense to give only some data on prices( RUB / m²):
-
XPP - from 42; - HKP - from 68;
- ECP - from 82;
- TKP - from 90.
Advice
When selecting the material for waterproofing, do not forget that not only does the lindex possess good characteristics. There are a number of analogues that also combine sufficient qualities with an acceptable price. For example, waterglass, "dneproizol", glass. On sale there are other materials, which are even better than a linocrom, but at the same time their cost is much higher.
