BITUMEN TILES

Asphalt roof coverings are among the leaders among roof coverings in the Czech Republic. Hundreds of roofs in major cities are fitted with new surfaces. Asphalt roof coverings from the brands IKO and Shinglas are available in a wide range of colors, which makes it easy to choose the right shade and accessories. The majority of new buildings in the Czech Republic are equipped with asphalt roofs, because the technology of gluing tiles enables a structural solution. In addition, this material increases the insulation of the roof and reduces heating costs. Stone wool, used as an insulating material, is widely used in the construction industry.

Asphalt roofing has recently spread in the Czech Republic thanks to a wide selection of colors and shapes. A beautiful and above all functional coating is able to satisfy the requirements of even the most demanding buyer. The building material maintains its color throughout its lifetime, and its structure and functional properties are not impaired even after thirty years of operation. You can buy asphalt coverings and accessories in our specialized roofing showroom in the city, and they perfectly resist temperature changes and are fully adapted to the harsh conditions of our climate. The attic heating does not interfere with the asphalt coverings. IKO has done experiments, and their asphalt shingle can last up to 105 degrees Celsius in one piece. Accessories have the same features.

The structure of asphalt roofing

Asphalt roof coverings from Katepal, IKO and other well-known manufacturers are structurally composed of a base impregnated with modified asphalt, a lower self-adhesive layer and an upper layer sprinkled with crushed minerals. Thanks to its inorganic base, substrates can be created from impregnated asphalt. The material has a flexible structure, impregnations and modifiers are added to the bituminous mass, which ensures resistance to deformations and excellent waterproofing. The top coating fulfills a decorative function and dampens the sound of water drops during rain. The top layer is made of basalt, slate or other mineral granules. Accessories and additional elements are produced using the same technology. All products are produced on technological machines and conveyors with the aim of minimizing errors. All manual devices are operated by experienced specialists. The quality of the products is currently unsurpassed. Accessories are produced on other machines. We also offer the tools needed for assembly!

Despite their multi-layer structure, IKO models are relatively light; such a roof does not require the reinforcement of the roof system. However, when choosing soft bags, it is worth considering the fact that they are attached to chipboard. Galvanized nails and standard construction tools are used for laying soft bags. The self-adhesive bottom layer enables secure fixing of the individual elements of the bags, which ensures complete waterproofing of the finished roof if all installation rules are followed. Also, you won't need any gluing tools.

Price of asphalt roofing?

The price of bitumen shingles varies depending on several factors:

• Manufacturer (some domestic manufacturers have been on the market for only 10 years, which makes it difficult to accurately estimate the lifespan of these roofs!);
• Warranty (verified manufacturers offer a platinum warranty!);
• Shingle thickness (""the thicker the better"" - unfortunately, this is not always true!);
• Composition (APP or SBS);
• Quality of granules (top layer);
• Self-adhesive bags;
• Number of layers.

The affordable version of asphalt roof tiles starts at around 250 CZK/m2. The service life of such a roof is 10-15 years with proper installation. Asphalt roof tiles are in the middle price category from 300 to 400 CZK/m2 with an expected lifespan of around 30 years.

Bitumen tiles are among the roofing materials suitable for covering roofs of any configuration. Flexible (soft) shingles, also known as bituminous, are a high-quality building material in the form of thin flat plates with a curly cut on one side. The shape of corrugated shingles can be oval, triangular or corrugated, while they have a rectangular shape. This procedure is carried out using special cutting tools. This quiet and economical roofing promises to become a hit on the Czech market. This manufacturer is also offering accessories on our market for the first time.

We offer a complete solution for your roofing project! In addition to the sale of products, we can also provide installation services, gluing of roof coverings and supply of the necessary tools. As an example, we will mention one of the most popular shapes, the honeycomb green color. You will need approximately 6 strips for each square meter. In addition, you will need a bitumen membrane for waterproofing, which also serves as an accessory. This membrane is not only waterproof, but also acts as insulation, which reduces heating costs. The membrane also extends the warranty provided by the manufacturer, which is stated in the terms and conditions. The membrane is attached with a thermometer and the bags themselves with a nail. Building stone wool, for example Rockwool, is another product used for insulation in the construction industry.

Accessories for the roof

In every construction, it is necessary to have the appropriate accessories, and this also applies to roof repairs and the laying of asphalt tiles. Available accessories include vents that are used to ventilate the roof and prevent moisture retention, or herbal elements, under which herbal tape is placed. For situations where bitumen coverings are not self-adhesive, it is possible to purchase a special adhesive mixture. Sheets covering the head of the bed are another useful accessory. These sheet metal products are produced using special tools and subject to strict technological procedures. For detailed installation information, please refer to the instructions section of our website or the accessories section.
