Positive features

It is noteworthy that the described material is well tolerated by the external environment. It copes with temperature changes in the range from -50 to +110 ° С. The roof will not be afraid of wind, the force of which reaches 150 km / h, but this is true if you meet the installation conditions. Shingles are produced in several stages. In some stages, the material is subjected to control, as a result, it is possible to obtain fireproof tiles.

Today it is also produced in Russia - production is open in Ryazan. Quality is guaranteed by modern equipment, as well as an international quality certificate.

It allows you to protect the inner layers from exposure to sunlight and mechanical damage.

Manufacturers managed to ensure that the surface of the covering material had different colors. This is provided by basalt powder, which is retained on the base throughout the life of the plant, which was achieved by burning the colored granules. Material in the manufacturing process is exposed to high temperatures.

Description of the lower layer

The lower layer is a frost-resistant bitumen-polymer mass, which is placed under the influence of ultraviolet, which allows the sealing of the webs. The protective film is the last layer. It protects the tile from gluing during transportation and storage. Before starting the installation, the film must be disposed of.

Shingles

Soft shingles "Shinglas Technonikol", the installation of which can be carried out by yourself, must be laid on a smooth, solid foundation, which is usually an OSB or a wooden sheet pile. Depending on the angle of the roof, it may be necessary to install a backing layer.
