With a large number of modern roofingmaterials offered in the market of building materials, roofing material traditionally takes one of the leading places. This is due to the following advantages over others:
- low cost;
- simplicity of laying;
- low cost for sealing joints;
- the possibility of using it for waterproofing.
The disadvantages include the relatively short service life of this coating.
Laying of roofing material and sealing joints beforecarried out in the simplest way: rolled up a roll of roofing material and joints nailed through a wooden plank. The connection turned out loose and short-lived. They also used molten resin, which made the execution of works very dangerous.
Appearance on the market of modern compositions forperformance of this type of work made it possible to perform such coverage even for non-professionals and with less risk. To do this, began to use a special adhesive for roofing material. To perform the installation and sealing of roofing material with modern materials, you need to know what this glue is, what are its types, how to prepare the composition before use and some other features of use.
Properties
Glue for roofing material is adhesivemass, which consists of several components. As a rule, it is bitumen, solvent, filler and various additives. It is used to glue the ruberoid to various surfaces, as well as to seal the joints of this material. The main advantage of using this material is the absence of air pockets in the joints of the roofing material.
The market provided a large number of manufacturers of glue. Each of the brands has its advantages, but the main task does not change. Here are a few of them:
- "TechnoNIKOL".
- ASKOWIL.
- Lepik na zimno.
Types of material
There are cold and hot glue.
Glue for roofing material of cold application is used at a weak warming up. If the temperature is lower than the specified one, then it must be kept in a warm room for at least one day before use.
Hot should be used only in a heated form and used very quickly, before it hardens.
Glue for roofing material "TechnoNIKOL" does not require preliminary preparation, it can be used at temperatures from +5 to +35 degrees.
Glue preparation for use
Preparation of the composition before use for different types of glue is different. Cold glue for roofing material sold almost ready to use. It is heated to a low temperature, solvent is added and stirred, after which it is ready.
Hot is prepared as follows:bitumen is put into a thick-walled vessel and heated over a small fire. After the main substance is melted, the necessary components are added and cooked at a low temperature according to the instructions.
How to glue the ruberoid?
To use any kind of glue you needprepare the surface: clean from dust, dirt, crumbs, putty holes, irregularities on the surface. To get a good result, it is advisable to apply a primer. Let it dry.
Glue is applied on the prepared surface.roofing material is bituminous, roofing material is laid out on top, smoothing from the center to the edges so that there are no bubbles. If there are any bubbles, you need to pierce them, release the air and press this place tightly. After solidification - let go.
Working with hot glue is harder. It must be used before solidification.
To create a tight connection betweenlaying sheets need to make the connection not end-to-end, but overlapped, turning one sheet to another about 10 cm. At the same time, the seam should also be smeared with glue. In this case, you can get a reliable hermetic connection.
In all cases, when working with glue, regardless of manufacturers and types, it is necessary to follow the general rules:
- do not work near an open flame;
- perform work with the use of respiratory protection;
- when using hot glue to work in protective clothing against burns.
For a more reliable fit ruberoid can use a manual roller. This will create a stronger fit and eliminate the likelihood of air getting inside.
