How to choose roofing material.

1. Roofing material composition. The basis of traditional roofing felt is roofing cardboard. It is impregnated with bitumen to make it waterproof. In this form, the material is usually used as a preparatory layer for roofing or for waterproofing foundations. To give the material maximum protection against mechanical damage and ultraviolet rays, some varieties are dusted with quartz chips, mica shale, sand, chalk or talc.
2. Marking. Since there is a variety of bituminous roll materials on sale, it is important to determine its purpose using marking. Since the days of the USSR, a simple alphanumeric abbreviation has been invented. The first letter stands for simply P – roofing material. The following letter indicates the type of roofing material (P – lining, K – roofing). The last letter contains the secret of the composition of the dressing (for example, K – coarse-grained). The digital designation tells the buyer about the density of the cardboard in g / sq. m. The lining material can be marked RPP-300, and the roofing felt for the upper layer of the roof is marked as RKK-400.
3. Types of bases. The weak point in traditional roofing felt was cardboard. To remedy this disadvantage, manufacturers use substrates such as asbestos, fiberglass, and polymers. Roofing material based on asbestos or fiberglass is not the best in terms of environmental friendliness, and bitumen-polymer mixtures are much more expensive.
