Stekloizol specifications , applications and operating features

Practically any construction, restoration or repair of used universal products such as roofing material.This soft roofing and waterproofing.He was (and still is) attractive for any individual developer, not only because of its simplicity and low cost of laying.

Probably, this does not reduce the popularity of its use due to the fact that not everyone knows - is now on the market there are many other products that can be considered as analogs of this material, with its vastly superior in performance and have approximately the same cost.One of them - Stekloizol - talk.

In contrast to traditional roofing material, whose production technology involves impregnating the cardboard bitumen, base Stekloizol may be different - glass fiber or glass cloth (plain, combined).This also identifies some differences in the characteristics of individual types of material.Impregnating agent is somewhat different - bitumen with additives (eg, synthetic rubber).

Features Stekloizol

• high strength combined with sufficient elasticity.Incidentally, the glass is greater than that of glass fiber.Therefore, materials with "tissue" basis are considered more universally applicable.
• does not absorb liquid.
• Longer use of the product.Subject to the rules laying - up to 20 years or more.
• Off.
• not susceptible to rotting.
• good "holds" warm and does not transmit sound.
• not lose the properties at low temperatures.
• Installation is the same technology that is used when working with the roofing material.The strips are stacked with mutually overlapping edges (not less than 0.8 cm).Warming up is carried out with a blowtorch or gas burner.
• Can be laid on any basis.Weight one roll depends on the variety of the material (25 - 35 kg).

Applications

Stekloizol roofing

From the name, which is used for this kind of product - improvement of soft roof, as one of the layers of roof "pie".When choosing a particular product should be guided by the markings.Materials with a core of glass fiber can be laid on any slope ramps, whereas fiberglass has certain limit angle.Their thickness - 4 mm.

One side (external) treated with "grit" (fine- or coarse-grained), which acts as a protective layer.In the first place, by ultraviolet radiation.On the inside - the film p / e, protects against moisture absorption (vapor).For the soft roof also used linokrom - read a detailed review of this material.

Stekloizol backing

This kind of material is used for waterproofing.The thickness of the webs - 2 mm, and a polyethylene film are protected on both sides.Facilities that apply:

• artificial reservoirs (pools, garden ponds, etc.);
• buried (underground) construction - septic tanks, basements, cellars, basements, walls, garages and so on;
• highway engineering services;
• all kinds of roofs;
• hanging gardens,

and in some other cases.

Marking Stekloizol

first letter (base material)

• T - cloth.
• X - canvas.

second and third (coated front and back side of the web)

• K - sprinkling.
• P - film.

numbers indicate the coil weight in "kg".

Stekloizol Approximate cost (rub / m2):

• roofing - from 54 (cloth) and 62 (on canvas)
• backing - 35 (cloth) and 46 (the canvas).

Useful tips

1. When storing Stekloizol need to comply with certain requirements:

• rolls placed vertically only;
• minimum distance to the heating appliances - 1 m;
• not encouraged to organize open-air storage of products.

1. Before laying the canvases on any basis it must be qualitatively processed primer composition - bituminous primer (bitumen mixture 1 hour and 3 hours, kerosene).If the old layer is not dismantled, the priming may be waived.

1. When buying material should be taken with a certain margin (about 10%).This is due to the fact that assembly webs made to "overlap."In addition, it is necessary to read the information available on the label.In it, in particular, said about the purpose of this type of product.For example, 'for the roof (upper layer) ".
