Roofing materials presented on the modern market are incredibly diverse. For this reason, many buyers pay attention to innovative solutions, among which bituminous shingles are not the last. Flexible roofing is quickly gaining popularity, which is largely due to the features of its structure. The coating is produced in the form of a sheet, which has a complex profile. As a result of processing, it is possible to obtain a surface that is as similar as possible to real tiles. The material is produced at special enterprises that are equipped with machines that provide automatic production.
You can learn more about roofing materials and the companies that produce them on the website. The portal is specially created for those who want to buy building materials and want to better study the market and local manufacturers. In addition to roofing, the portal also contains descriptions of siding, thermal insulation, rolled metal, laminate, wallpaper and other materials.
What words does flexible shingles consist of?
When creating flexible shingles, a layered cake is formed, in which each layer has its own characteristics:
- The base of bituminous shingles. Cardboard or fiberglass is used to produce this layer. The base is the frame of the sheet, due to which the viscous substance does not spread in the summer.
- Bitumen layer.This coating is characterized by flexibility, good sound insulation and bending strength, thanks to which flexible tiles have a wide range of applications. The key property of bitumen is its protection from moisture.
- A layer of basalt or shale powder. This component is responsible not only for the aesthetics of the roof, but also helps prevent damage to the bitumen under the influence of abrasives, birds or sunlight.
In the production of soft roofing, bitumen is used, which contains additional chemical components. As a result, this material becomes more resistant to high temperatures, and sudden climate change does not lead to damage. Rubber crumbs, which can be added to bitumen, increase its strength and resistance to mechanical damage. You can choose a soft roof of various shapes and sizes, for example, 90x30 cm, and its thickness starts from 3 mm. The thickness of the canvas will directly affect the soundproofing characteristics.
