About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

The roof, as one of the most important elements of a building, has undergone continuous development throughout human history. With the development of sealing materials, the shape of the roof has also changed (e.g. form). Roofing, which ensures adequate sealing of flat roofs when properly installed, can be made from various materials (bitumen, metal, rubber, PVC, etc.).

Problem

The roof, as one of the most important elements of a building, has undergone continuous development throughout human history. With the development of sealing materials, the shape of the roof has also changed (e.g. form).

Solution and Method

Roofing, which ensures adequate sealing of flat roofs when properly installed, can be made from various materials (bitumen, metal, rubber, PVC, etc.). These materials determine the quality, durability, price and method of roofing installation. Modern roofing also includes roofing made from PVC.

These roofing materials are very cost-effective, high-quality and easy to install. The physical and chemical properties of PVC ensure high-quality, long-term protection of buildings against precipitation. A comparison of PVC roofing with roofing made from other materials shows that PVC roofing is very suitable for waterproofing flat roofs, as it meets all the requirements of modern construction practice.

A very important property of PVC membranes is the possibility of recycling. In terms of the ECO balance, complete recycling of strips is possible without environmental impact.
