Tiles – the most environmentally friendly material used in construction as a roof. It has a service life of up to 80 years, looks expensive and goes well with other elements of the roofing system.
Bitumen, or soft tiles are a fiberglass covered with bitumen on both sides. Its production has features: tiles of standard size are cut out of roll material. They can be used both for the roof of a complex configuration, and for the simplest. Soft tiles are moderately elastic, and if it is deformed over the years, it is enough to replace several tiles that have become unusable without violating the integrity of the entire coating.
Today in the market, the bitumen roof from Katepal is in particular demand, which is of high quality and compliance with high European standards. It is resistant to various weather conditions and sharp temperature drops. However, they are constantly working on improving the properties of this product at the factory.
For the greatest convenience and speed of work, the lower surface of the tile of Katepal is covered with a self -adhesive layer. After installation of the tiles, a reliable waterproofing carpet is formed.
The advantages of soft tiles include the ability to work with it at any time of the year, without stopping construction for the winter. The technology for preparing the flooring in the cold period requires compensation to expand OSP or plywood plates. Such compensation is that a small gap is left between the sheets. If the crate is made of a chopped board, then the gap of up to 5 mm is recommended to be left in winter and in summer.
