The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Bitumen shingles have been present in Slovenia for at least 15 years. Some people have had bad experiences with them and no longer wish to use them as a type of roofing material for covering buildings of various purposes. A system guarantee is issued in all cases where the prescribed combination of E-KV 15SK bitumen membrane and Villas PM bitumen shingles is used in any shape or colour. The survey they conducted also confirmed that people are familiar with Villas PM bitumen shingles, that they would use them to cover residential buildings as well, and that the advantages of Villas PM shingles correspond to the requirements they seek when choosing roofing material for their buildings.
Problem
Bitumen shingles have been present in Slovenia for at least 15 years. Some people have had bad experiences with them and no longer wish to use them as a type of roofing material for covering buildings of various purposes. Only when we understand the basic material (in their case bitumen) and its modification possibilities, which lead us from the creation of polymer bitumen under the designation PM, and knowledge of its technical characteristics, do we discover that we have the possibility to use a natural material that guarantees maximum usability for roofing surfaces.
In combination with the carrier as an important component (in their case this is heavy glass fleece with its high technological characteristics), we obtain an optimal combination of roofing material. If at the end we add granules, which represent the protective layer of Villas PM bitumen shingles, and a selection from a wide palette of possible colours, even the most demanding owner of a building requiring renovation is satisfied. The possibility of choosing between two different shapes (rectangular shape and beaver tail) ensures harmony of the building and aesthetic integration into the environment.
Due to the proven details and uniqueness of the material, Villas PM bitumen shingles can be used to cover all types and shapes of roofing surfaces, which have guaranteed safety, tightness and usability of the roofing surface with a system guarantee lasting 30 years.
Solution and Method
A system guarantee is issued in all cases where the prescribed combination of E-KV 15SK bitumen membrane and Villas PM bitumen shingles is used in any shape or colour. With a precise calculation of the required quantities of material, for which a pre-prepared form exists, it is possible to prepare a quotation for material only and material with labour included, and thus prepare a financial plan for the building renovation. To this must be attached a time schedule, which precisely illustrates the time course of individual works, and the time required for the complete execution of the roof renovation.
The prepared financial plan shows a price-competitive variant of roof renovation with Villas PM shingles, whilst the time schedule likewise illustrates a rapid course of roof renovation.
Results
The survey they conducted also confirmed that people are familiar with Villas PM bitumen shingles, that they would use them to cover residential buildings as well, and that the advantages of Villas PM shingles correspond to the requirements they seek when choosing roofing material for their buildings.
