Quality installation of roof waterproofing as a pledge of comfort in the house

Mounting roof waterproofing

Modern homes have a roof with one or four ramps and mnogoschiptsovye roof with turrets, attics, and so on.On the layers of the "pie" is strongly influenced by the fact, whether to use the space under the roof as residential.Standard roof must consist of a sequence: rafters, insulation, vapor barrier, counter-, sheathing, roofing.

Materials for waterproofing roofs, you can choose different, but for shingles, for example, should also make a layer of windproof membrane.Between the layers of waterproofing and roofing material must be sure to leave a gap for ventilation.If the arrangement provides the attic, the waterproofing assembly is complicated:

• the part of the premises is a vapor barrier;Next
• mounted heater;
• windproof membrane placed on top;
• Set crate;
• crate mounted on the roof.

If the house has a flat roof, the waterproofing will be fully depend on its type.Contrails have a double layer roof insulation and double waterproofing.If a flat roof is not used, it is sufficient and a waterproofing layer.

Note!For the arrangement of roofs with a cold attic is sufficient to put the anti-condensate film.

Liquid protection

roof waterproofing Installation of solid materials is simple enough, but it's not the only way to build the roof.It is also possible to carry out the waterproofing with liquid materials based on bitumen.The advantages of this method is the absence of any seams.The most popular material is considered to be a liquid rubber, which is made on the basis of emulsion and catalyst agent.

Apply this mixture of special equipment and after cooling becomes thin elastic film.Doing such work is possible only at zero temperature, but the operating temperature - from -50 to +90 degrees.Installation of waterproofing for the roof is already used in the following order:

• on the surface are eliminated all the cracks and irregularities;
• Apply the first layer of mastic;
• mounted rubber film membrane;
• applied another layer of mastic.

Note!Installation of liquid waterproofing mastic eliminates the need to make a vapor barrier.

protection pair

Quality device pitched roofs, especially attics, is impossible without a vapor barrier.We have already discussed how to make installation of waterproofing of pitched roofs, and there is a layer of protection from the steam.Why is it needed?Vapor barrier is necessary in order to maintain the desired mode under-roof insulation.It does not provide a heater to absorb moisture, which greatly reduces its quality when wet.

Vapor barrier roof, where the material is a film made for the roof, which is not a solid cover (tile, slate, etc.).Separation of hydraulic and vapor barrier materials conditional enough.So often films protection pair successfully used instead of under-roof waterproofing, and vice versa.According to the characteristics, they are divided into three types: polypropylene film, polyethylene film and "breathable" membrane.This diversity allows for the use of any type of roof.

Note!Despite the fact that the waterproofing and steam, have similar characteristics and are in part interchangeable, it is better to use them for their intended purpose.
