TechnoNikol Shinglas is a flexible tile, the price of which will vary depending on the collection, can even be used for domed roofs. The history of flexible tiles dates back more than 100 years. It first appeared in the United States, where to this day is the most popular material for roofing. There is an explanation for this, namely:
- ease of installation;
- availability;
- good use practices;
- attractiveness.
More recently, Russian consumers were also able to buy this tile, which from the day it appeared on the market, has been liked by homeowners, professional builders and architects.
Description
Flexible tile "TechnoNIKOL" has 3 components:
- basalt granulate;
- improved bitumen;
- warming base.
The last layer is fiberglass. Roof performance will depend on the quality of these components. Fiberglass is a non-woven material that consists of glass fibers evenly distributed over the surface. As a result, shingles get high tensile strength and impressive elasticity.
The material does not rot and does not corrode. Flexible tile "Technonikol" is made by a special technology, which involves the processing of bitumen. The technique is aimed at increasing the heat resistance of the coating. In its natural state, bitumen has little heat resistance, which varies from 35 to 45 ° C. However, these parameters for operation on the roof are not sufficient.
Flexible tile "TechnoNIKOL", the installation of which you can carry out yourself, is a finished material based on improved bitumen, which has almost no temperature restrictions during operation. Thanks to the basalt coating, the coating is protected from atmospheric and mechanical influences.
You can not be afraid of an avalanche-like descent of snow, because the base of the roof will have a rough structure. Basalt does not fade, so the design will retain an attractive appearance for a long time. On the reverse side, the shingles are sand-treated, which prevents the tiles from sticking together during storage and transportation. On this side is a sticky strip based on bitumen, which has a protection in the form of a siliconized film. Due to the presence of this adhesive surface, it was possible to achieve sintering of the elements during installation.
Varieties of flexible tiles "TechnoNIKOL": collection "Continent"
TechnoNikol Shinglas is a flexible tile that is divided into several collections. As one of them, “Continent” should be singled out, which is a coating that has all the advantages of shingles and has the effect of an exclusive 3D design.
Flexible tile “Technonikol” has an original appearance, multi-layer structure, high strength, resistance to mechanical factors and the environment. Warranty is 60 years. On sale you can find laminated tiles of the Continent series, which contains two or three layers of fiberglass, interconnected under the influence of temperature and pressure. The upper petals of the shingle differ in shape from the lower layer, which makes the surface embossed, and the roof ultimately turns out to be more expressive. Such a flexible tile "TechnoNIKOL", the price of which is 1183 rubles / m 2 , has a fairly high heat resistance equal to 110 ° C.
Characteristics of the TechnoNIKOL tile of the Continent collection
The basis of this material is fiberglass. Its density, as in all other cases, is 110 g / m 2 . The softening temperature of the material is equivalent to 125 ° C. Sprinkling during transportation and loading / unloading may be lost in the amount of 1.2% per sample. The parameters of the shingle are 1000 x 349 x 9.6 mm.
Reviews on the tile collection "Ranch"
Consumers like that the Ranch tile is laminated and consists of two layers. It is known to the consumer recently, but has already managed to gain popularity. For one square meter you will have to pay 263 rubles. A guarantee from the manufacturer for such a roof is 20 years.
According to buyers, this tile has increased strength, because two layers of fiberglass are much more reliable. Buyers emphasize that the material has great thickness and durability. When carrying out work on a conventional soft roof, one more has to be strengthened, which ensures the reliability of the structure. The top layer is slightly different from the bottom in shape, and the basalt granules on the petals vary in hue. According to buyers, this gives an unusual appearance to the coating.
Specifications
The characteristics of the tiles of this collection are almost no different from similar offers by the manufacturer. So, the basis is fiberglass, the density of which remains the same as in the above case. Heat resistance is 110 ° C, but it is important to remember the softening temperature, which is 125 ° C. One sample may lose a sprinkle of 1.2%. The length, width and thickness of the material are 1000 x 335 x 5.4 mm.
Overview of some varieties of TechnoNIKOL tile
On sale you can meet the collection "Country", which is a two-layer material made by special technology. Shingles have increased tightness and light resistance, and the manufacturer's warranty is 35 years.
If you are interested in a two-layer tile, then you can also consider the "Jazz" collection, which has a natural color, achieved through multi-colored basalt granulate. The warranty on this material is 50 years.
The tiles of the Western collection, which is a premium-class material, will last even longer. The coating will reliably protect the house from the negative effects of the external environment at any time of the year. In the collection you can find four original colors.
Mounting Features
In the process of laying the covering material described in the article for the roof, you will need a lining carpet under the Technonikol flexible tile. It is a roll waterproofing material, which is absolutely waterproof. Its heat resistance is 100 ° C, and the relative elongation is 2%.
However, installation technology implies the need to comply with some other rules. For example, when attaching tiles, it is necessary to use galvanized nails with wide hats, the number of which will depend on the angle of inclination of the ramp. When nailing, it is necessary to ensure that the cap is in the same plane with the surface. If we are talking about the collection of "Country", then the nail should be fixed in place of two parts of the tiles.
Conclusion
Flexible tile "TechnoNIKOL" is a bitumen material, which has the form of rectangular modules called shingles. On one edge on the products there are curly cuts that are overlapped. This covering material is ideally suited for pitched structures of complex and simple configuration.
