Flexible Tegol tiles are made by impregnating fiberglass with materials based on bitumen. Depending on the model on top, each tile is either covered with a sheet of metal or sprinkled with basalt granules. Both coatings make this material absolutely waterproof and very durable. In addition, this tile has excellent sound absorption properties.
Copper is most often used as a metal coating, which, over time, covered with a patina, becomes even more resistant to the influence of adverse weather events. In addition, the patina gives the tile a very attractive “antiquity” effect.
Tegola basalt roofing has enhanced protective properties. The fact is that when sprinkling bitumen with basalt chips, the company uses three types of granule fractions - small, medium and large. As a result, it turns out that the particles are very densely pressed against each other, and this makes the coating absolutely waterproof. In addition, the granules do not spill out.
The roof, for the decoration of which the flexible tile of Tegol was applied, can have a very different color. For coloring basalt granules, paints of pleasant natural shades are used. The staining process itself includes a special technology for granulation of granules. After the granule is subjected to such processing, a very strong shell forms around it. Due to this, the paint keeps the color unchanged throughout the life of the tile, which can be tens of years.
Installation of a flexible tile of Tegol is very simple. As a basis, OSB, plywood or boards are used. Tiles are fastened to bitumen mastic and fixed with four nails. The lightness of the sheets and the absence of the need to mount elements such as skate, valley, etc., make installation very easy and quick. Any person will be able to produce it on their own, even if the roof has a very complex configuration.
The flexible tile of Tegola will be an excellent choice for protecting the roof. This beautiful, durable and, most importantly, having excellent noise absorption indicators material will last for many years, give your home a modern chic and will not cause any trouble to repair.
