When is it worth choosing swissporBIKUTOP Membrane roofing felt?
The choice of swissporBIKUTOP membrane depends on several factors, and in many cases this product can prove to be the best solution as a layer of initial roofing. Here are the key aspects to consider:
-
Low roof pitches - thanks to the use of SBS modified asphalt, swissporBIKUTOP Membrane has excellent water resistance. This is a key property for low-slope roofs, where there may be difficulties with water drainage. In addition, the membrane minimizes the risk of leaks that can arise from water being pulled up under the tiles by strong winds.
-
Complicated roof structures - roofs with numerous architectural details, such as dormers, roof valleys and chimneys, require a flexible material that thoroughly seals difficult areas. swissporBIKUTOP, thanks to its flexibility, allows for perfect adaptation to complex roof shapes and details. The membrane remains flexible at low temperatures as low as -25˚C, which makes it easy to install and prevents cracking under frost.
-
Extreme weather conditions - in regions with harsh climates where there is heavy snowfall, strong winds or frequent temperature changes, swissporBIKUTOP Membrane provides greater mechanical resistance. Its resistance to tearing and mechanical damage protects the roof from damage caused by adverse conditions. This is facilitated by the use of a non-woven polyester insert characterized by high resistance to tearing and mechanical damage.
-
Fully board ed roofs - in the case of fully boarded roofs, swissporBIKUTOP forms an additional protective layer that increases the insulation and waterproofing of the roof. The membrane in such a case forms an additional layer that protects the roof from moisture penetration. Installation to the substrate is carried out by gluing, using asphalt adhesives or mechanical fastening.
-
Renovation of old roofs - swissporBIKUTOP Membrane, thanks to its ability to level out irregularities in the substrate, is ideal for renovation of old roofs. It allows you to achieve an excellent sealing effect and prepare the substrate for new roofing.
-
Time of exposure to weather conditions - if for various reasons the installation of the roofing tile is to be delayed, swissporBIKUTOP Membrane is the perfect solution. The coarse-grained sprinkle used is UV-resistant, which increases the durability of the product and allows you to install the roofing top layer at a later date.
