Renovation and repair of tar paper roofs
Older felt roofs undoubtedly require periodic maintenance every time. The maintenance of roof coverings consists primarily of impregnating them with suitable preparations. This maintenance should be carried out after just two years of use and should be repeated at least every five years. In the case of new-generation membranes, maintenance is not required. However, this does not mean that no maintenance is required.
Repairs to tar paper roofs
Liquid and plastic bitumen products should be used for the aforementioned membrane maintenance and restoration, which, when applied to the roof covering, form a continuous and uniform layer. Hot repair substances are applied at temperatures varying between 180 and 200 degrees Celsius.
Repairs to felt roofs are also possible using cold-application agents. Such preparations for the renovation of felt roofing are divided into solvent-based and solvent-free. Solvent-free formulations are extremely easy to apply. However, due to their water content, they should not be applied, stored or transported in cold weather. The coating applied in this way is protected with a mineral coating.
It is worth bearing in mind that the aforementioned bitumen roofing will only do its job and serve the homeowner for a long time if it is made from top-quality materials and by a specialised team.
What are the main causes of damage to bitumen roofing?
The first and most important aspect in relation to which damage to bitumen roofing can occur, are harmful effects of atmospheric agents, such as sun, frost, precipitation or wind. In addition, damage often occurs due to mechanical factors arising from other works of a repair, construction or installation nature on the roof surface. More often than not, however, in the case of a major roof renovation, the only option is to consider re-roofing with a suitable roof surface.
