In today’s construction market there are several varieties of roofing material, different operational and technical characteristics.

Species ↑

1. Traditional insulation material. It is a cardboard, which on both sides treated quality bitumen coating.
2. Cons:

1. this material does not involve any additives, so its strength is low.
2. roofing material susceptible to mechanical deformation.

The algorithm of paving material on the roof ↑

• roofing tape (sealing of chimneys, ventilation systems);
• blowtorch.

Mount with nails. There is an option mechanical paving with wooden rods and nails. It is used in cases when the material is applied to a wooden crate (the roof has a tilt angle greater than 15 degrees). It is always safer to nail pieces of material than their stick. Laid out across the surface of the first layer, top with the stock impose the second sheet. Then thick nails nail Reiki. After that stack the third layer, placing the edge on the wooden slats. Fix the material on the bars of construction nails. All seams that are located on these rails, completely cover with roofing material, and then fixed with nails.

?For works using bitumen mastic. The procedure is the following:

• cleaning of debris;
• the levelling of the surface, removal of cracks, smoothing of the irregularities;
• drying;
• the primer;
• the unfolding of roofing material;
• rolling roller.
