How to roof a euro ruberoid

At the device of roofs of a flat roof and a roof of a difficult configuration, as a rule, use rolled material. There are many types of roll material, but among them there is the best and most durable - it is euroroofing material.

Euroruberoid is a modified roofing material made of synthetic and glass cloth base with polymer and bitumen impregnation. The quality of euroroofing material several times higher than the usual ruberoid. It is more flexible, durable, does not modify its structure with large temperature drops, does not rot in a wet environment and is durable. Work with soft roofing material simply and quickly. For its transportation is not required to use heavy construction equipment.

Simplicity and speed of installation

Unlike conventional soft roofing materials, it does not need to be heated, the bitumen and polymer base perfectly adheres to the surface, ideally bends around each seam, bulge and hole. This property of memory creates a sealed and seamless monolithic layer. As for the outer layer of euroroofing material, it is covered with special powder, it reliably protects the integrity of the fiberglass reinforcement layer from external negative factors and prevents it from being destroyed by the sun and moisture.

Euroruberoid is used in roofing works for the device of the lower layer and the upper layer of the roofing sheet, as well as on flat and inclined roofs and on the roofs of a complex configuration, where only manual installation is possible.

The basis for euroroofing material

Euroruberoid is a non-capricious material, it can be laid on a waterproofing and heat-insulating layer, on a cement – ​​sand screed, but in no case on a surface covered with sandy asphalt concrete composition. And also it is impossible to lay this material on mineral wool and expanded clay.

Basic installation rules

The main requirement that must inevitably be observed is the definition of the quality of the rolled material. Be sure to pay attention to the integrity of the fabric, the quality of the powder, adhesive strength, strength, flexibility and ease of application.

Before roofing with euroroofing material, it is necessary to outline a strict vertical line. A roll rolls along this line. The edges of the material must exactly match the outlined line. Oblique sheets of euroroofing material will need to be laid with a stretch to create a sealed seam.

If it is difficult for you to fit the web along a line, you can adjust it by using a knife to align the edges so that they are identical.

Laying technology

• Each roofing technology begins with the preparation of the foundation. To begin with, in most cases rolled material is used to repair the roofing layer. If the old layer is not amenable to repair, then it must be removed and the surface clean of its remnants. Apply a primer coat to the leveled surface using a primer and leave the surface to dry completely.
• Trying and fitting euroruberoid on the vertical line.
• Laying roll web. It is carried out in the hot and cold way. The cold method is laying of euroroofing material on the basis without preliminary warming up. In this case, it is best to use expanded clay gravel to fix it. But only it can be used on flat roofs. For sloped roofs, it is advisable to use a hot method of installation. The essence of hot laying is that the burner on liquid fuel heats the part of the sheet adjacent to the surface and while the polymer and viscous bitumen are glued to the base with an overlap. In order for the sheet to adhere securely to the base, an external seam is heated along the web by a manual roller and a torch.

The end portion of the overlap should not be less than 10-15cm. And the overlap of the side parts is not more than 8 cm.

For reference, manufacturers of euro-ruberoid leave an overlapping lane, it is easy to distinguish it from the main web in that it is hollow without a protective coating.

In no case can not strongly overheat the canvas. To warm up the cloth, burners with nozzles are used, which allow working at different capacities. The installation of the necessary power must be carried out according to weather conditions and outdoor air temperature.

Roofing work with rolled materials is carried out with at least 2 skilled workers.

Imported and domestic euro ruberoid

Virtually no difference at all, the only difference is the production technology. And the composition and structure is identical.
