Flexible tiles are ideal for the pitched roof. The combination of flexibility and strength gives it huge advantages over other materials. Also, this tile is sometimes called – bitumen, shingles and roof tiles. It is thin sheets with sides of the sides – one meter per third meter. There are cuts along the edges. This tile, due to the large color scheme of models, is an excellent find for the designer. Tiles can be: hexagonal, oval, rectangular, wave -like, triangular.
Glassholst is the basis of flexible tiles, it is saturated with bitumen, which is called modified. He copes with moisture perfectly and prevents decay of materials. The tile is covered with a stone granulate of various shades. Moisture does not penetrate the granulatory, and with the help of it, bitumen has protection against damage and ultraviolet radiation. Thus, the pattern will be perfectly preserved. The mass of bitumen polymer is glued to the lower part of the tile. Glue has a protection consisting of an easily retiring film.
The following are a number of advantages for the roof with the material presented:
A heat insulator and a sound insulator that absorbs even the sound of rain drops, so you can characterize a soft tile.
Saving in the use of material is observed even with a complex roof structure.
Flexible tiles are resistant to rust, various fungi, all kinds of species of moss and lichen, cannot be rotten.
Chemical acids are not terrible tiles.
The material is quite capable of acting a thunderbone for the building.
Also, the material is inherent in complete water resistance.
The durability of flexible tiles complements the disadvantage of sunlight.
From this material, snow will not go avalanche.
Wide geography in the application of the material is due to its ability to transfer various temperatures.
Drill wind is not a hindrance for flexible tiles.
Irregularities and inaccuracies for the material do not play any role due to the flexibility of the tile.
The material is light and therefore does not require an enhanced supporting structure.
Cheap and light -transported material.
Easy to install, does not require special knowledge and skills and special working tools.
In addition to use in new buildings, tiles are also used in the repair of old. An excellent combination with the surrounding nature is complemented by an important feature – the material is good for roofs, which have a difficult constructive solution and a complex configuration.
