Roller roof: recommendations for choice

The duration of operation of the entire building depends on the quality of the roof. Since it is the roof that provides its protection against moisture, cold and other environmental influences. A fairly common version of roof decoration is rolling materials. We will consider further about the features of the choice, advantages and the installation of roll roof.

Roller roof: scope and characteristics

The use of flat roll roof is associated with the arrangement of the roof of which the slope angle of which is from zero to thirty degrees. The number of slopes on the roof does not matter. The option of both flat roofs and an inclined roof is possible. At the same time, in the process of surface decoration, the removal of the old finish is not always necessary. If the roof has an even surface before the repair, then it is enough to clean the old damaged places and patch them.

The main advantage of the roller roof is its high life, which exceeds twenty -five years.

In relation to the manufacturing technology of roofing materials, they are of two types. The first option is used as the main coating; for its manufacture, cardboard and fiberglass are used, which is processed using a special composition of tar or bitumen nature.

The second version of the fiberglass is based on its use without the base. In this case, special mixtures are processed thermal with the addition of various kinds of additives and fillers. Next, the resulting composition is rolled into the canvas. Therefore, rolled materials are of two types:

• cover;
• Blessed.

In the second case, the material has a special basis that enhances its texture using fillers or additives.

Roofs made of roller materials are inexpensive finishing material, the cost of which is much lower than alternative roof decoration options. Among the advantages of using roller materials, it should be noted - the ease of weight, while the costs of their installation, storage and delivery to the object are reduced. In addition, installation work is carried out within one day, and two, three people are enough for their implementation. Another advantage of roller materials is to provide them with good sound insulation and a high level of fire safety.

For the manufacture of roller materials, materials are used in the form:

• polyester;
• fiberglass;
• fiberglass.

The first option is the most expensive, but at the same time a reliable basis. For its manufacture, polymer fiber is used. This material is distinguished by a high life.

For the manufacture of fiberglass, fiberglass threads are intertwined. There are two variants of fabrics used in the process of making roll roofs:

• smooth;
• frame.

For the manufacture of the first thread, they are twisted with each other, while the threads are coated with a special oil solution. Thus, it is possible to obtain a surface that is particularly smooth. This option of fiberglass is relatively cheap, however, their improper storage leads to deformation of the coating or detachment of the bitumen layer.

Frame glasses contain glass rawings in the composition, which are intertwined with glassanny. This basis is not prone to deformation or wringing. It is the basis for the manufacture of high -quality roofing materials.

However, the most durable foundation is glass -chief. The reliability of the entire roof depends on its strength. The main indicator of the quality of the fiberglass is the type of bitumen substance used to bind the windows.

Rolling roofing: the main varieties

We offer to familiarize yourself with the main options for roller coatings used in the process of roofing:

1. Ruberoid type coating. To create it, a roll base is used. Among its advantages, cheapness and ease of styling are noted. At the same time, this material is used to decorate the roof for more than 50 years. The use of pegamine impregnated with oil bitumen is the basis for the manufacture of roofing material. Due to the fact that the material is very cheap, the duration of its operation is also low. This is the main drawback of the roofing material.

2. Another version of the roller roof is a rubemast. This version of the directed roof is similar to the previous one. However, the rubemast has a special protective film that does not allow gluing each layer and protects the front side of the material from mechanical damage. Although the material is characterized by a small service life, however, the ease of installation is much higher than that of the previous option.

3. The use of fiberglass or polyester materials is the basis for the manufacture of such a material as glass -ruble. If we compare it with previous options, then it is characterized by higher reliability than the cardboard coating that was impregnated with bitumen solutions. A strong base can significantly increase the duration of the finishing material to fifteen years. In addition, the resistance of the material before mechanical damage also increases.

4. Excellent frost resistance and counteracting temperature changes is different in the use of Eurorberoid. To create a reliable coating, a minimum number of layers is necessary, while the duration of the operation of the material is more than thirty years.

5. One of the newest roofing materials is the coating of a membrane type. Among its advantages, high life and resistance to mechanical influences are distinguished. In addition, special skills or special equipment are not needed for the installation of material. Some of the materials have a self -adhesive base, for their installation, it is enough to roll out the canvas on the surface of the roof. The only drawback of such materials is the high cost, but it is fully paid off by rapid installation and reliability of use.

Roof roof roofs of a ring -free type: Features and characteristics

A soft roller roof is a coating that falls on the base of the roof, completely repeating its shape, while the degree of protection remains at the proper level. Among the varieties of these materials should be highlighted:

• insolvent coating;
• brisol coating;
• various kinds of film roofing materials;
• GMP.

To obtain the first option, utility rubber is used, which is two -volcanic surrounded by bitumen. Next, a fibrous filler is introduced into Wednesday, such as asbestos fibers and various kinds of supplements. Among the advantages of the isol, we note plasticity, resistance to decay, ease of deformation even in frost. In addition, the insolvent coating is steadily in front of biological microorganisms, moisture, is vapor permeability and plasticity. In addition, isol allows you to maintain its properties even at a temperature of -35+110 degrees. The main function of this coating is to ensure the waterproofing of the roof.

Brisol coating is also a baseless material, for the manufacture of which rubber and oil bitumen compounds are used, with various kinds of additives. More than 55% of the composition of the brisle occupies a bat, 33% of rubber fibers, 13% asbestos. About 2-6% are occupied by plasticizers.

Thanks to the use of special technology of roll roofs, its resistance to chemicals increases. Therefore, the material is used in the process of waterproofing of inclined roofs. Brizol holds not only moisture on the surface, but also gas compositions.

Brizol is supplied in a rolled version, its inner part is covered with small powder, so sticking the material is unacceptable.

Polyisobutile is the material used for the manufacture of GMP. Among its advantages, high life and resistance to mechanical influences are distinguished. The material is used for waterproofing roofs or to create a multilayer roofing.

Minor materials also include various kinds of polyethylene or polyamide films. The films have a minimum thickness full of moisture resistance and lightness. In addition, their cost is much less than the previous options for roofing roll materials.

Rolled roof installation: technology and instruction

Before the installation of the roll roof, a number of preparatory work should be performed, the essence of which is to ensure:

• Base of the base under the roof;
• waterproofing installation;
• preparation of primer and mastic.

All work is carried out from the upper part, that is, from the site that is most removed from the place of feeding the material. Please note that the amount of laying the material is directly related to the angle of inclination of the roof:

• If the angle of the roof slope is more than 15 degrees, then it is necessary to lay at least two layers of rolled material;
• If the slope angle is from five to fifteen degrees, then it is necessary to lay three layers;
• In the presence of a slope angle from zero to five degrees, four layers will be required.

Keep in mind that the maximum angle of roof slope for laying roll materials is no more than thirty degrees.

All work begins with the preparation of the surface before installing vapor barrier. Thus, it will be possible to exclude the formation of moisture in the undercarbon space. Next, you should equip the drainage system. After that, the supply of mastic on the roof begins. When using parchine as a vapor barrier layer, it is glued with a mastic.

There are two ways to stick vapor barrier to the surface of the roof:

• hot;
• cold.

Please note that cold mastic before applying to the surface heats up to 150 degrees. To apply hot mastic, you need to heat it to 220 degrees, and then add substances in the form:

• talco;
• trembling;
• diatomite.

Before starting work, the roofing material is spread on the surface of the roof, cleaned of dust. Next, it should be glued to the surface.

The device of rolled roof involves gluing with each other with a related mastic. That is, when using the material that is based on bitumen, bitumen mastic is used, for a thick roof - a mastic based on tar.

In the process of laying the roll roof should be taken into account:

• the size of the slope of the roof;
• the direction along which water flows;
• wind power;
• Environmental temperature.

In the presence of a slope up to 15 degrees, the laying of the material is carried out from the lower part of the roof to the top. Otherwise, gluing is carried out in the opposite direction to ensure optimal water flow. Please note that the roof laying is performed with an overlap, the minimum value of which is 10 cm.

To complete the work, two three people will be required, one of whom will be engaged in laying the roof, and the second is smoothed out on the surface with the help of a brush and apply mastic. In addition, the gluing and fitting of the paintings should be performed, and in order for the roof to fall on the surface, the presence of a rink is required, with which the processing of the already glued material is provided.

In addition, in the process of performing installation work, the quality of the glued material should be checked. This process implies a gradual tearing of one layer from another. Please note that the presence of a small gap is permissible. In the presence of small deviations of roll material, it is allowed to shift it in one of the sides.

Tip: If, after the installation of the roof, bubbles appeared on it, then use an awl or knife to pierce them. Laying layers is performed gradually, especially for cold mastics. In the case of their use, the waiting time between laying each layer is about 10-12 hours.

The installation of a roll roof is a rather time -consuming process, for which several people will be required. If there is too much work, it is recommended to use special mechanical type equipment.

Features of the repair of roll roofs

If there are deformed areas on the surface of the roof, they are removed and replaced. There are several reasons for the repair of the roof:

1. The presence of bloating.

This problem arises primarily in the summer of the year. This is due to severe heating of the roof and the formation of condensate under it. In this case, it is enough to pierce the bloating and wait until the mastic will flow out of it.

2. The formation of cracks.

In this case, cracks or breaks are cleaned and processed using mastic. Next, roofing material is glued to the surface. After that, the surface is again lubricated with mastic and the same roll material is glued on top as on the entire roof.

3. The presence of discharge.

In this case, the material rises as high as possible, the surface of the roof is cleaned of dust and dirt, treated with a primer, and then mastic. Next, the material is again glued to the roof.
