Everything new is well forgotten old. Older people remember the most popular roofing material from the USSR – roofing material. Almost everything was winged then, from sheds to high -rise buildings. A mandatory participant in this process was black smoke and no less black stove for warming up resin. Remember how the film student Shurik turned his “partner” on a construction site into a black man – with the help of just a overturned stove in time. Now the roofing material and other roofing materials of the past was replaced by glass insulus. Sometimes it is also called “hydrostecloisol”. At the moment, this is the most used waterproofing and roofing material used in Russia and the CIS countries. The process of manufacturing glassizol is to impregnate a special base with bitumen. The basis is fiberglass, fiberglass or combined fiberglass (both previous material together). The main purpose of this material in construction is the waterproofing device, in roofing and other structures. It was the widespread use of this material in modern construction of its characteristics: durability, non -combustibility and resistance to decay, moisture resistance, greater strength for rupture. The durability must be understood as a guaranteed service life of 10 to 15 years. It is not at all difficult to buy glassizol today, you can even buy glassizol with delivery, but you need to know about the fact that it can be of two types. You can see a marking in the form of the letters “K” and “P” on rolls. Which means accordingly roofing glassizol and lining. If during production as a basis used glassolt or combined fiberglass, such material can be used on unloaded structures with a surface of a surface of not more than 10 °. If fiberglass went on the basis, such glass insulation is suitable for any complex structures and operating conditions. The maximum term of “life” he has a longer. To start laying glassizol, you do not need to buy mastics and adhesives, this material is laid using a soldering lamp, placing the lower layer. Neighboring sheets are placed with an overlap of the edge of 8-10 centimeters, the joints are welded with a soldering lamp and squeezed with special rollers similar to the wallpaper. Working on the roof, we must not forget about precautions. You need to work in gloves, high boots and dense clothes that protects the body well. The styling technology allows work at temperatures of at least +10 °. With strong winds or rain, it is forbidden to work. Glassesole manufacturers continue to improve it, experiments with other materials for the base are underway, bitumen impregnation is modified. All this suggests that the material has a future. However, no one doubts this, given its wide and widespread use.
