Laying of roofing material

First of all, we need to list positive qualities of roofing material. This material has a fairly goodstrength, and it is very resistant to temperature changes. Modern roofing felt has increased wear resistance, due to which the duration of its operational period has increased. In addition, it should be noted that this material has practically no negative environmental impact factors. Also ruberoid is resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and the last thing to highlight is the ease of the material itself, which greatly improves the ease of its installation.

Laying of roofing felt begins with thorough cleaning and leveling of the surface, on which he will be laid. If necessary, the old roofing is removed, and the concrete substrate must be treated with a special solution to increase the adhesion. Also, if large cracks or shells are found on the surface, we recommend that they be cemented with a cement-sand mortar.

Further, the laying of roofing material implies simultaneous heating of the roof surface, and adhesive base of roofing material. After that, the roll is unwound, placed on the necessary surface and carefully pressed.

Usually roll ruberoid fits in strips overlap. Especially for this producersprovided for the presence of an 8-cm edge, but for greater reliability, we recommend placing one roll on the other at least 10-15 centimeters. As for the places of the water intake funnels, a special layer of material is adhered on them, the dimensions of which are 70x70 centimeters. In addition, to achieve complete tightness, the seams between the strips they warm up already after the laying of the roofing material is over.

It should be noted that a heater is used special trigger gas burner. In the market of equipment for repair is presentquite a large selection of such equipment, such a burner is inexpensive, in addition, it can be used more than once. An indication of the correct heating of the roofing material is the flow of bitumen material in small quantities from under the edge. Also it should be remembered that the pasted waterproofing material should not have any folds or waves. Strongly We do not recommend walking on freshly laid ruberoid, as this can cause deterioration of the insulation properties of the roof, as well as its appearance.

Spin off a consumer who, as a waterproofing material, preferred a modern ruberoid, is as follows:

• The roofing material is immediately ready for laying, that is, it does not need to spend a few days on aligning the canvas;


• there are no cracks or tears in the bends;


• there is no need to use mastic, which needs to be reheated;


• Installation of roofing felt can be carried out only by one person.

In the event that you have no experience in laying such materials, we we recommend that you contact the specialized construction teams, which have the necessary equipment for installation, and also have sufficient experience.
