Roof "TechnoNIKOL": types and subtleties of installation

Each person seeks to make the roof in his home reliable and durable. However, many do not know which roof is best to choose. Today we will talk about the roofing surfaces "TechnoNIKOL".

The TekhnoNIKOL company is rightfully recognized as one of the largest roof manufacturers. According to most experts, the construction products of this brand are of particular strength and durability. This company was able to develop a completely new type of soft coating. Such soft roofing includes bitumen-based roofing materials.

These include:

• polymer membrane;
• roll and mastic roof;
• flexible shingles of bitumen.

The basis of a soft roof is fiberglass. In its manufacture, it is thoroughly impregnated on both sides with bitumen, and on top of this material is covered with basalt dressing. That it gives the roof a certain color. The inside of the tile covered with bitumen-polymer composition. A special self-adhesive base is applied to the outside of the roof. In addition, the top layer is lined with a siliconized film.

Roof of the TekhnoNIKOL company boasts a number of positive qualities.

• Water resistant. The roof is completely resistant to moisture, including heavy rain and snow.
• Durability. The life of this roof can exceed 30-40 years.
• Security. The material is made using modern technologies from safe raw materials, so it is absolutely safe for humans and their health.
• High resistance to temperature fluctuations.The coating can withstand temperatures from -50 to +100.

• Good sound insulation. Roof "TechnoNIKOL" perfectly protects from extraneous noise.
• Beautiful appearance. Today, the manufacturer can offer a variety of different forms and colors for the roof, so that any person can beautifully decorate the roof of their home.
• Big choice. The company "TechnoNIKOL" currently offers a variety of types of soft coatings, including liquid (these include bulk and mastic materials).
• Unpretentiousness. Over time, the color of the roof does not fade, and the roof remains in its original form, so it is not necessary to carry out periodic paint coatings.

Despite such a wide list of advantages, the roofing of this manufacturer has certain disadvantages.

• Low vapor barrier. This leads to the penetration of a large amount of steam into the insulation, which greatly destroys the roof structure.
• Installation can be carried out only at a positive temperature. Installing the roof in the cold season is not worth it, otherwise it may crack and lose its aesthetic appearance.
• Corrosive tendency.It is often formed on the roof surface. Many experts recommend to process the material before laying special substances that counteract this.

Currently, the company "TekhnoNIKOL" can offer consumers a considerable selection of different roofing.

Often the products of this company are divided into several groups by price category.

• Economy (bikrost, stekloizol). This type of roof is characterized by its simplicity and speed of installation.
• Standard (bipole, linokrom, bikroelast). Such coatings can be installed absolutely on any design.
• Business (uniflex, ecoflex). This type of material is equipped with a special "breathable" coating.
• Premium (technoelast, Westplast). Possess the highest level of quality and the longest service life.

Many experts separately distinguish other groups of the roof "TechnoNIKOL" depending on its properties and characteristics. For example, shingles. It is a flat parts with cutouts on one edge. This material is made of fiberglass, which is impregnated with treated bitumen. The outer part of each detail is covered with basalt granular dressing.It is she who gives the product a certain color. Also, this element is designed to protect the material from mechanical damage. A special protective film is applied on the bottom side of the roof.

A no less popular type is the flat roof TekhnoNIKOL. This group includes a whole list of different models. The most common of these is the TH-Roof Classic. It is a profiled steel flooring covered with a polymer membrane roofing carpet. This sample has the highest fire resistance, so it is so popular among consumers. In addition, many experts note that it is fairly easy to install this roof. The seams of this material remain almost imperceptible, since they are joined by welding.

The Smart model is also a popular representative of the TechnoNIKOL flat roof. She, like the previous sample, is a profiled base under the roof membrane of the polymer membrane. But it should be noted that, unlike other specimens, this one has a special combined weatherization.According to many experts, the sample "Smart" has excellent vapor barrier, durability and reliability. Such a coating is applied, as a rule, for large industrial production or shopping centers. After all, this material can withstand significant loads and not collapse.

Another example of such a roof is the "TH-Roof Ballast". It is a roofing carpet of polymer membrane, under which is a concrete base. This roof has a high level of protection against ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage. It should also be noted that the ballast roof is characterized by high fire resistance. It should be said that this roof boasts excellent waterproofing. It is provided thanks to the presence of fiberglass reinforced.

For a wooden roof it is represented in the following layers:

• soft roof;
• Chipboard or plywood;
• crate;
• membrane or waterproofing;
• heat insulating material;
• lathing for thermal insulation;
• vapor barrier construction.

If the base is concrete, then the roofing cake will already include other elements:

• roof covering;
• special razuklonka of claydite-concrete;
• heat insulation material;
• vapor barrier membrane.

Before buying a roofing material, you need to pay attention to a number of important parameters. First, accurate calculations of the load on the material should be made. After all, it must withstand the entire mass of precipitation and not be deformed at the same time. If the roof will often be subjected to such loads, then you will have to choose more durable and resistant types of products. So, most professionals point out that not all roofs will be suitable for all types of structures. If the material will be subjected to too much stress, then you'd better give preference to the roof "Continental". That it is the most resistant to stress.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the technology of mounting the roof and the device of the roof itself, because not every type of material can be laid on a specific construction. If the base has a complex geometric shape, then in this case it is best to choose more flexible and lightweight materials. If you need to design a roof with complex geometric shapes, then you better give your preference to the Europe model, since it is this pattern that is notable for its increased flexibility. It is also the most convenient option for trimming edges and corners during installation.

It is also necessary to take into account the operational characteristics of the coating. Such parameters include the level of fire resistance, the degree of susceptibility to corrosion, mechanical strength. Many experts argue that these indicators are the most important when choosing the appropriate option.

When you buy the roofing material "TekhnoNIKOL" in one set, you will be provided with detailed guidance on the design of the future coverage, which greatly simplifies installation. It is necessary to stack products on absolutely equal surface.You should also completely dry the base, because the installation can be done only on dry material. Before laying the roof, apply a special polyethylene film to the surface. After that, the base is primed with a bitumen primer. Then you need to lay all the necessary layers (material for insulation, additional waterproofing layering, lathing). Only when all these elements are covered can the finishing material itself be applied. How to do it correctly will be stated in the instructions, since there is a specific technology for each type.

Many experts give consumers a number of tips for installing TekhnoNIKOL soft roof.

• So, some professionals recommend supplying the coating and insulation with a special "breathing" device. It is correct to cover the roof with just such a mechanism, because with the help of such a technical solution, the moisture will not penetrate into the material, it will not swell.
• Also, experts recommend using a moisture meter before installation. It is necessary to establish whether there is moisture on the surface of the base, because laying should be done only on a completely dry coating, therefore, if water is still present on the base, then it should be thoroughly dried.
• Special attention requires the repair of a soft roof. Experts note that it should be started from the highest point of the design and only then it is worthwhile to begin the installation of the lower layers. If you need to make a patch on the surface of the roof, then it must be smeared with bitumen mastic.
