The roof is the top side of the building, protecting it from precipitation, sunlight, etc. Of course, over time, under the constant influence of environmental factors, it can begin to deteriorate, so it should be constantly monitored, checked, and repaired. The latter cannot be done without the use of waterproofing materials, we will talk about this in our article.
How to properly waterproof an exploited roof?
Waterproofing an exploited roof can be a more difficult task compared to a new roof, since the condition of the existing coating is taken into account, damage and wear of materials are possible. However, this is still possible with the right approach. And, first of all, it is necessary to carry out repair work, because cracks, chips and other damage appear in 99% of percent over the life of the building. Particular attention should be paid to seams and joints. Before carrying out waterproofing work, it is also important to check the weather, because some materials need a week or even more to be fully operational, and the roof can be difficult to protect, for example, from heavy rain or abnormal heat.
How to choose waterproofing for an operational roof?
When choosing a roof waterproofing material, you should pay attention not only to strength characteristics, adhesion, water and heat resistance, but also to elasticity. After all, the roof can be large in size, which means that it consists of several parts, usually movable relative to each other. Only an elastic waterproofing material, such as Teknomer 200 EX W, will cope with this task and provide long-lasting and reliable protection from moisture. In addition, this material has a high degree of protection from ultraviolet radiation, which is also an important indicator when choosing a material.
And the Teknomer Pah Bandi 120/70 sealing tape will help with additional waterproofing of seams and joints. It is placed between the 1st and 2nd layers of waterproofing.
