Roofing: types and application

The demand for roofing material among consumers does not decrease, despite the emergence in recent years a large number of new roofing and waterproofing materials. The popularity of the roofing material provided by its low cost, ease of installation and excellent performance. Roofing material as used in roofing and for the waterproofing of foundations, beams, log, etc.

Manufacturer of roofing material

The traditional roofing material on the basis of a mastic of bitumen were produced in the early 20th century. The technology of manufacture of roofing material since then has not changed: a layer of roofing paper impregnated with a soft fusible or road construction bitumen with a softening temperature of 34–, 50 degrees, and then on both sides a cover layer of refractory bitumen with a softening temperature below 80 degrees containing powder mineral Foundation. Powders fillers are based on sand, limestone or dolomite flour, talc or gypsum are used to improve heat resistance and moisture resistance of the coating. Then the upper part is sprinkled with sand or talc to prevent sticking of the layers during storage, and the cloth is wound into rolls. The result is a reliable and durable waterproofing material – the roofing material.

Labeling of roofing material

The roofing scope is divided into underlay and roofing, they differ in the thickness of cardboard and grit. Topping at roof roofing material larger than the lining, the cardboard layer is also thicker. They may differ not only thick cardboard base and size of the grains spreading, but thick bituminous coating.

In the manufacture of roofing material, the following types of signs:
1. Material: "D" roofing.
2. Purpose: "To" - roofing, "U" lining.
3. Type of topping: "K", "M", "P", "H" - coarse, fine, powdered, flake.
4. The density of the cardboard base: 300, 330, 350, 400 g/m2.
