How to cover glass roof 2

Stekloizol reliable waterproofing material that provides roof protection for 20–25 years. It is made of fiberglass or fiberglass, impregnated with bitumen and covered with a protective layer. The material is produced in rolls, used for roofing or as a waterproofing lining. In the first case, powder is applied to the outer layer, protecting the bitumen from ultraviolet and giving strength, and the inner part is covered with a plastic film. In the second case, the material on both sides is protected by a film.

Steloizol or euroroofing material is an improved modification of the known roofing material. In the modern version of the material the basis is changed, instead of cardboard fiberglass is used, highly oxidized bitumen is applied, a protective polymer film is used. All these changes allowed to increase the operation time from 3–5 years to 15–20 years.

Let's figure out how to cover the roof with glass insulation.

To cover a new roof or to repair an old one, special knowledge is not required, working with euro-ruberoid is not difficult even for a beginner.

Marking

Special marking on the rolls provides the necessary information about the base, protective layers, and the weight of the material.

1. The first letter is the name of the base: T is fiberglass, X is fiberglass.
2. The second letter - K - roofing material with granular mineral sprinkling on the top layer. Used as a flat roof topcoat or for exterior waterproofing of construction sites. P - lining stekloizol having a polymer film on both sides. It is used in the lower layers of waterproofing.
3. The third letter - P - polymer film.
4. The number indicates the weight of the roll.

Properties stekloizola

• inorganic base resistant to decay and the development of microorganisms;
• the structure of the material eliminates the penetration of moisture;
• flexibility and elasticity;
• good sound absorption;
• the small weight simplifying process of roofing works.

The fabric-based material has an increased tensile strength, it is recommended for high load-bearing roofs. The thickness of the bituminous layer affects the total weight of the roll: when applied 2 mm, weight 25 kg, and at 4 mm - up to 40 kg. Stekloizol optimally suitable for waterproofing a roof that has a slope of up to 10 degrees. Typically, the roll width is 1 meter, its length is 10–15 m. The edge of one edge is made without an external coating, this part is left for overlap.

Stekloizol is used for waterproofing bridges, tunnels and pools, as a lining in the roofing pie, for the device of a flat roof.

Additional materials and tools for roofing

• polymer or bitumen primer;
• cement and sand mortar for leveling potholes;
• gas torch or blowtorch;
• construction knife;
• roller;
• special roller or piece of pipe with a diameter of 20 cm.

Processing base under stekloizol

Before roofing, its surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared. Outdated coating is completely removed. The concrete base is inspected, all found cracks and gouges are smeared with a solution of sand and cement. The surface is covered with a primer having a polymer base or bitumen mastic. This layer enhances the adhesion of stacked stekloizola and base. It is applied with a roller or brush, if the surface has a large area, the roller is attached to a long handle.

For wooden roof is continuous obreshetka. Will require edged board or sheets of moisture resistant plywood. Bitumen mastic is also applied on them. After the mastic hardens, they proceed to the laying of the rolled material. Using a water-based primer allows you to quickly proceed to the next stage. You should not start to lay euroruberoid without prior waterproofing? this will subsequently lead to leakage.

Laying technology

To start coating in warm and dry weather. Cutting material occurs at the work site. Cutting the strip of the desired length, you must leave 20 cm for overlaps. In the glass is already marked part of the material, designed to perform overlap between adjacent rows.

The first layer on the roof is laid lining stekloizol, marked with HSP and TPP. The number of layers is caused by the slope of the roof. On flat roofs, it is recommended to have 2? 3 layers, laid with offset joints. Next, start laying from the edge of the roof. The roll of roofing material is rolled out in small parts, heating them with a blowtorch and sticking to the base. It is necessary to heat not only the material, but also the bitumen base. A sufficient degree of heating is determined by the indicator film. Pressurized glass is tied to the roof with a special roller or pipe until all air bubbles are removed. Gradually unwinding the roll, consistently stick it to the end.

I lay the next row with an overlap of 10 cm on a special strip devoid of mineral sprinkles. The whole process of gluing is repeated as in the previous row. At the junction of pipes or other structures, an overlap is performed on both surfaces.

Reasonable price, simple installation and high reliability have made glass insulation popular material for the roof of small buildings. This is the best choice to cover the roof of the garage. All work can be done independently and in a short time. Initially, the roof needs cleaning and preparation. A layer of bitumen mastic is applied on a clean surface. A roll of glass fiber is heated by a propane torch and pressed to the base. For durability rolled with an iron roller. Work on a small and level roof of a garage does not take much time.

Recommendations

Do not overheat stekloizol, otherwise coarse dressing may fall into bitumen and an unprotected area will remain. Some time after laying it is not necessary to walk on the worn material so as not to damage it.

The result of careful laying stekloizola, taking into account all the features of the material and installation technology, it turns out protected from moisture, the roof, which will last more than 15 years. Another advantage of this roof is the ability to repair a separate section of the roll covering. If you are not confident in your abilities and do not know how to properly glass-proof glass on the roof, look at one of the presented video reviews.
