Bikrost: technical specifications (HPP)

Bikrost, whose technical characteristics are of interest to many professionals and home masters today, is popular in the building materials market. It is a roofing material that is applied by fusing and has waterproofing characteristics.

Description of the bicros

Bikrost was introduced to a large consumer in the 90s. Its use made it easier to carry out repairs in the roof area. The material perfectly copes with the tasks of a quality waterproofing. Over time, it is not putrefied, since it is based on fiberglass, which is sometimes replaced by glass wool. In the role of the top layer, an astringent of high quality is used. Bikrost, whose technical characteristics force consumers to choose exactly in his direction, has a relatively low cost. This can be verified by comparing the material with analogues. The square meter of the material described has 3.5-4 kg of binder, whereas the task of protection is assigned to a coarse fractioned powder, which may be flaky, fine-grained or pulverized.

Cost of a Birocrow

Bikrost, whose technical characteristics affect the cost, can be purchased for a price of 50 rubles / m ² . The types of material will be described in more detail below.

Specifications

The material described has the ability not to break when stretched. This is very important for the roofing sheet, which will constantly undergo loads from the snow. Thus, the breaking force at the time of stretching is H / 50 mm, which is true at 294-343 kgf. The canvas almost does not absorb moisture, the water absorption level is 1%. At zero degrees, the material demonstrates flexibility on the rod within R = 25 mm. But the initial fragility is reached at minus 15 ° C.

Bikrost, whose technical characteristics attract not only private developers, but also professionals, exhibits a two hour resistance when exposed to temperatures within +80 ° C. After laying, you can be sure that the roof does not require repair for 10 years. In fact, this period is much longer.

The material has a pulverized or fine-grained powder, which acts as a protection for the deposited film from the sticking process. Bikrostu not afraid of fungi, microorganisms, as well as insects.

Scope of use

Bikrost is used for waterproofing roofs, foundations, walls of basements, ceilings, pools, trunk pipelines, as well as all kinds of structures.

Pros of the bicros

• Long service life.
• Ability to water-repellent.
• Excellent safety factor.
• Unique qualities of heat resistance.
• Ease of installation.
• Ability to work with bicrosts at low temperatures.
• Possibility to lay on any foundation.
• Ability to sound attenuation.

Kinds of bicrosts

Bikrost XPP , the technical characteristics of which allow the material to be used as the lower layer of the roof, is represented by the simplest kind of material. At the heart of this type of bicrost is the glass fiber, on which a bituminous layer is applied with a number of additional additives. On both sides, the bitumen has a coating in the form of a polyethylene film.

Bikrost KKP , the technical characteristics of which are similar to the HPP in that the role of the basis here is also used fiberglass, has no less impressive popularity. While bitumen from the lower side has a protective polyethylene film, and on top - a sprinkle of fine-fractional slate, the last component producers can be replaced with a granulate. Sprinkling has the goal of increasing the strength characteristics of the material, reducing the harmful effects of solar radiation.

Bikrost TCH , technical characteristics of which assume the use as a basis for fiberglass, is covered on top with a powder, and from below with a protective film. Such a combination allows the material to be used even on inversion roofs. The quality of this variety of bicros is better than that of fiberglass. It is used in the construction of the upper roofing layer.

There is one more variety, which is denoted by the abbreviation of the CCI. In this case, the material on both sides has a film-like coating. In the role of the main layer is a wireframe fiberglass. In addition to the described, it is possible to distinguish some other types of material, they are based on polyester, but are not so common today in the building materials market.

Peculiarities of stacking of a bicrot from "Technonikol"

Bikrost XPP, the technical characteristics of which were described above, fit into a certain technology. Observing it, you can count on a quality coating that will protect the roof from the effects of moisture. The material is pasted after the bituminous component has melted. For this purpose, it is recommended to use a gas burner. In addition, you should use a special hook, which allows you to roll rolls, which are a material bikrost. Technical characteristics of the "Technonikol" material allow creating coatings that serve for a long time. However, it is important to check that the surface is hard and dry before laying the bicrot.

For this, the base should be cleaned of debris and old roofing. After the base is put a primer or bitumen, which must be previously diluted with gasoline to a liquid consistency. After application, the formulation should be left until completely dry. It is recommended to roll the roll perpendicularly to the slope, cut off to the size of the surface and start to warm up the burner. The treated area should be rolled out on the roof by a hook. Moving on the newly strengthened material is unacceptable, so as not to damage it. The next canvas must be laid with an overlap of 10 cm.

Self-laying of the material is possible without additional assistance, this will additionally save on roofing works.
