Flexible tile "Tehnonikol": description, characteristics, types and reviews

"Tehnonikol Shinglas" - flexible tile, the price of which will differ depending on the collection, can be used even for domed roofs. The history of flexible roof tiles is more than 100 years old. It first appeared in the United States, where it is still the most popular material for roofing. There is an explanation for this, namely:

• Simplicity of installation;
• availability;
• Positive practice of use;
• Attractiveness.

More recently, Russian consumers have also been able to buy this shingle, which since the appearance of the market like homeowners, professional builders and architects.

Description

The flexible tile "Technonikol" has 3 components:

• Basalt granulate;
• Improved bitumen;
• Warming base.

The last layer is glass fiber. The characteristics of the roof will depend on the quality of these components. Glass fiber is a nonwoven material, which consists of glass evenly distributed over the surface of the fibers. As a result, shingles receive high tensile strength and impressive elasticity.

The material does not rot and does not corrode. The flexible tile "Tehnonikol" is manufactured using a special technology that involves the processing of bitumen. The technique is aimed at increasing the heat resistance of the coating. In its natural state, bitumen has an insignificant heat resistance, which varies from 35 to 45 ° C. However, these parameters for operation on the roof are not sufficient.

Flexible shingles "Technonikol", the installation of which you can carry out independently, is a ready-made material based on improved bitumen, which has almost no temperature limitations during operation. Thanks to the basalt powder the coating is protected from atmospheric and mechanical influences.

You can not be afraid of an avalanche of snow, because the base of the roof will have a rough structure. Basalt does not fade, so the design will retain the attractiveness of the appearance for a long time. On the reverse side, shingles are treated with sand, which eliminates the clumping of tiles during storage and transportation. On this side is applied a sticky band on the basis of bitumen, which has 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 tile "Technonikol": collection "Continent"

"Technonikol shinglas" - flexible tile, which is divided into several collections. One of them is the "Continent", which is a coating that has all the advantages of bituminous shingles and has the effect of exclusive 3D design.

Flexible tile "Technonikol" has an original appearance, multi-layer structure, high strength, resistance to mechanical factors and the environment. The guarantee is 60 years. On sale you can find a laminated tile series "Continent", which contains two or three layers of glass fiber, connected together by temperature and pressure. The upper petals of the shingle differ in shape from the lower layer, which makes the surface embossed, and the roof eventually becomes more expressive. Such a flexible tile "Tehnonikol", the price of which is 1183 rubles / m ² , has a sufficiently high heat resistance, equal to 110 ° С.

Characteristics of the Tekhnonikol shingles of the Continent collection

The basis of this material is glass fiber. Its density, as in all other cases, is 110 g / m ² . The softening point of the material is equivalent to 125 ° C. Sprinkling during transportation and loading / unloading can be lost in the amount of 1.2% per sample. The parameters of the shingle are 1000 x 349 x 9.6 mm.

Reviews about the tile collection "Ranch"

Consumers like that the tile collection "Rancho" is laminated and consists of two layers. It is known to the consumer only recently, but has already gained popularity. For one square meter you have to pay 263 rubles. On such a roof, the manufacturer's warranty is 20 years.

According to customers, this shingle has increased strength, because two layers of glass fiber is much more reliable. Buyers emphasize that the material has a great thickness and durability. When carrying out work on the ordinary soft roof, one more is to be reinforced, which ensures the reliability of the structure. The upper layer differs slightly from the lower one in shape, and the basalt granules on the petals differ in color. According to customers, this gives an unusual appearance to the coating.

Specifications

The characteristics of the tiles of this collection are almost the same as those of the manufacturer. So, in the basis lies the fiberglass, the density of which remains the same as in the above-described case. The heat resistance is 110 ° C, but it is also important to remember the softening point, which is 125 ° C. One sample may lose the coating in an amount of 1.2%. The length, width and thickness of the material are 1000 x 335 x 5.4 mm.

Overview of some varieties of Tekhnonikol shingles

On sale, you can find a collection of "Country", which is a two-layer material, manufactured using a special technology. Gontas have increased tightness and light fastness, and the manufacturer's warranty is 35 years.

If you are interested in double-layer tiles, then you can also consider the collection "Jazz", which has a natural color, achieved through a colorful basalt granulate. The warranty for this material is 50 years.

The shingles of the collection "Western", which is a premium-class material, will serve even longer. Coverage will reliably protect the house from negative environmental influences at any time of the year. In the collection you can find four original colors.

Mounting Features

In the process of laying the roof covering material described in the article, you will need a backing carpet for the flexible tile "Technonikol". It is a roll waterproofing material, which has absolute water resistance. Its heat resistance is 100 ° C, and the elongation is 2%.

However, the installation technology assumes the need to comply with some other rules. For example, when fixing tiles, it is necessary to use galvanized nails with wide hats, the number of which will depend on the angle of slope of the ramp. When nailing the nails, you must ensure that the hat is in the same plane with the surface. If it is a collection of "Country", then the nail should be fastened in place of two parts of the shingles.

Conclusion

Flexible shingles "Tehnonikol" is a bituminous material, which has the form of rectangular modules called shingles. One edge on the products has figured notches, which fit in a lap. Ideally suited is this covering material for pitched structures of a complex and simple configuration.
