Installing a flat roof is on average cheaper and simpler, because it is not necessary to install a wooden structure - all layers are installed on a reinforced concrete cover.
Installation instructions for the fused coating
If you are looking for a reliable, long-lasting and aesthetically appealing roof covering, choose an attached roof covering. It is characterized by a low price, easy installation and high quality, which has its own obvious advantages. One of the most common principles of application of bituminous coating is various commercial buildings, variants with a low-sloping roof and apartment buildings. In fact, it can be said that this type of coating can be adapted to very different home options.
Using the latest materials and technologies, we guarantee fast and high quality work. Modern roofing materials retain their properties and elasticity at various temperatures and last up to 30 years.
We perform all work carefully, thoughtfully and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A flat roof is a long-term solution
Roofs are installed in such a way that the inside of the building and the roof structures under the waterproofing layers are protected from the external effects of rain and snow.
Installation of a fused coating is a quick and long-term process. Depending on the material of the roof, the warranty period is 30 years, and when the time comes to replace the roof, you can simply not tear down the old roof, but simply stick new layers to seal the gaps of the old material.
Advantages of bituminous roofing
Bituminous roofing is light and can be laid on any roof. This coating is durable, so it can last for a relatively long time. The roll bituminous roof covering has excellent waterproofing properties, so it retains moisture very effectively.
Bituminous roofing and its installation is one of the cheapest roofing options on the market. True, in order to find a long-lasting option, it will be necessary to consult with experts to buy the best solution.
Safety and environmental friendliness.By choosing this roof covering, you can be sure that it does not harm people and the environment.
It is important to know for those who want bituminous roofing
Bituminous roofing has many advantages, but it is necessary to know various operational nuances. Roof maintenance is necessary from time to time. However, the added bituminous roof covering will last a long time and protect the interior of the building from rain, hail and winds. Therefore, anyone looking for an inexpensive, technically advanced and long-lasting solution should be interested in bituminous roll roofing.
Glue-on roof coverings contain a sufficient layer of bituminous mass, which after heating with a gas burner or other flame source, the coverings are glued to the prepared base, without using additional adhesives. According to the composition of the coating mass, roof coverings are divided into oxidized bitumen roof coverings, hereinafter referred to as bituminous and modified polymer materials - bitumen.
According to the protection of the upper surface, the coatings are divided into suitable for use as lower waterproofing layers or upper protective layers of the roof covering, without installing additional protection against atmospheric effects. One of the biggest advantages of a fused roof covering is its durability. The bituminous coating reflects heat (protects the roof from overheating), is resistant to cold and has high fireproof properties.
important milestones are included
covering in roof installation
1. Preparation of the base
It is necessary to properly assess the condition of the existing structure. Preparation of the base begins with the removal of all dirt, remnants of the old coating and other unnecessary objects that may prevent the new coating from laying evenly. After cleaning, it is important to carry out leveling and repair of defects - filling in depressions, smoothing out irregularities, repairing cracks and other defective areas to ensure a solid and smooth base. It is important to choose the right thickness and density of the heating coating to achieve the corresponding heating category.
2. Installation of waterproofing coating
Installing a vapor barrier layer is necessary to prevent condensation under the waterproofing coating. The next stage is the laying of the waterproofing material - the appropriate waterproofing material is selected (eg bituminous roll coatings, EPDM rubber membrane or liquid waterproofing) and it is laid on the roof base. The material can be glued, welded or held by its own weight, depending on the type. Next, treatment of joints and joints, ensuring that all joints and joints are tightly sealed to prevent water penetration.
3. Installation of finishing and protective layers
The application of the protective layer can be an umbrella coating, such as gravel or sand, which protects the waterproofing coating from mechanical damage and UV rays.
Installation of technical equipment - parts of technical equipment are installed on the surface of the roof, for example, ventilation openings, antenna mounts.
Finishing of the perimeter and exits - the perimeter of the roof and various exits (such as chimneys, ventilation ducts) are treated to ensure complete tightness and aesthetic appearance.
important aspects in the construction of the fused coating
It is important to prepare carefully in order to fully follow the installation instructions for the fused coating. First of all, the surface must be clean, dry and smooth. The coating should be unwrapped and left to adjust to the ambient temperature. Later, using a gas burner, the coating to be welded is heated until its bottom starts to melt. Then the coating adheres to the surface and is well glued. It is necessary to follow all safety rules and avoid mistakes in order for the coating to be of high quality and long-lasting.
When covering flat roofs, materials must meet strict requirements. They must be resistant to water, temperature fluctuations, ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage. The materials must also be elastic to compensate for the movement of the roof structure. It is important that they are resistant to chemicals in the environment and have long-lasting properties. The most commonly used materials are bituminous membranes, PVC, EPDM or TPO films, which provide long-term protection against moisture and external influences.
Structural solutions for roof elements include roof supporting beams, rafters, trusses and panels, which ensure the strength and stability of the roof. These elements must be selected taking into account the loads of the building, the type of roof and the climatic conditions of the area, such as snow and wind loads. Proper coordination of insulation, waterproofing and ventilation is important to prevent moisture build-up and heat loss. Every structural solution must be well thought out so that the roof is durable and functional.
The installation of the roof structure begins with the preparation of a solid base, which can be reinforced concrete, metal or wood. It is important that the structure is strong enough to withstand the loads of snow, wind, rain and other factors. Adequate slope for water drainage must be ensured. When installing insulation, thermal insulation material is often used to prevent heat loss. Then a waterproofing layer is installed, which protects the structure from moisture. All these elements must be installed in a quality way so that the roof is durable.
Quality control and acceptance of work is an essential part of the construction process to ensure that all work is carried out to the intended standards and requirements. The quality of materials, installation accuracy, compliance with the project and technical regulations are inspected. All work done must be documented and defects corrected before the final result is accepted. During the acceptance of works, it is checked whether the structures are strong, safe, durable and whether all requirements are met. This helps ensure the success and longevity of the project.
Defects in the roof can occur due to poor installation quality, poor quality materials or improper maintenance. The most common defects are leaks, insulation damage, cracks or deformations. The simplest ways to remove them include isolating the damaged area, sealing leaks with special mastics or films. If a larger area is damaged, it is necessary to replace the damaged part of the coating or renew the waterproofing. It is important to take action as soon as possible so that defects do not cause more damage to the roof structure.
Bituminous roofs are recommended for A++ class houses
In order to meet the EU requirements, Lithuania stipulated that the energy class of the houses built in 2021 would be no lower than A++. There are many ways to achieve the A++ category, and fused bitumen roofs are one of them. Compared to others, bituminous roofs have the highest thermal resistance and ensure the energy efficiency of the building.
