Mastic Mastic is suitable for waterproofing flat roofs as an independent roofing material. Scope of the mastic coating - residential and industrial construction. It is formed directly on the roof surface by applying zhidkovyazkih polymer products, which form a continuous elastic membrane. Polymeric Mastic have good adhesion to concrete, metal and asphalt, and they are suitable for waterproofing nodes contiguity and joints. One type of protection is polyurethane mastic, applied to the roof of the dispensing means. After drying and curing coating looks like a solid rubber material. Polyurethane mastic resistant to aggressive environments, ultraviolet rays, oxidation, corrosion and temperature extremes ranging from -40 to +100 ° C. Film Another type of protection of the roof from moisture, is an adhesive film. It is a laminated polypropylene fabric which is resistant to stretching and tearing. For abstraction of condensate and steam in some types of thin film has a special perforation. The film is mounted under the roof covering and provides waterproof construction, and also stimulates the removal of water vapor into the external space, which is especially important in cases falling under the roof of snow and rain water. In addition, if proper operation is not waterlogged and increase conductivity. Temperature range: -40 to +80 ° C. Okleechnaya Roll okleechnaya waterproofing are widely represented roofing material, roofing paper, polyester, fiberglass, asphalt and similar materials. This is a fairly common means of protection from moisture, thanks to its affordability and ease of installation. They are attached to the roof sheathing on the nails or screws before the roof covering is laid. Some types of stone tiles have high water-proofing properties. The most water-resistant material - Bitumen, from which the shingles. It is easy to install, durable and requires no special care. Good waterproofing properties has a cement-sand tiles, produced from a mixture of quartz sand and cement. Over time, such a roof continues to gain strength and does not lose its water resistance. Another type of roofing material - ceramic tile that has good waterproofing qualities, but with time to absorb moisture. More information about shingles, see the article "Types of tiles: review material." Sheet Rigid Sheet waterproofing by using metal or plastic, fastened to the roof by means of welding, dowels or screws. The most common materials for country houses - it is stainless steel, lead, aluminum and copper. Of synthetic materials are the most popular vinilplastik and plastic, have a special resistance to aggressive media. Plastering Another way of waterproofing is the application of polymer-plaster. This eco-friendly material produced on the basis of dry mixes and special fillers. However, this type of waterproofing is a serious flaw - a tendency to cracking.
