Why is Tegola bitumen tile the best option?

Why it can be argued that flexible tiles are the best roofing material? Further we will try to answer this question and talk about the technical characteristics of this wonderful material for the roof.

Due to its advantages, which were described above, the use of bitumen tiles is possible on roofs that have a rather complex shape, for example, in the form of cones, turrets, broken lines, etc. At the same time, the tegola roof well suppresses noise, is resistant to temperature changes, solar exposure and corrosion under the influence of moisture.

As one of the main materials in the production of this material, oxidized or modified bitumen is used. Since oxidized bitumen is much cheaper, we use it more often than modified. True, European manufacturers in most cases use SBS-modified bitumen in the manufacture of flexible tiles, since such products are considered more durable and reliable during operation. Tegola also uses it, whose products are produced exclusively on such bitumen.

Choosing a flexible tile for a roof, it is worth paying attention to its reinforcing layer. As can be seen from the review on the Tegola roof, the video of which is presented above, fiberglass is used in this quality, in which the fibers are randomly arranged and therefore the material is more tensile resistant. Fiberglass, which is used by other manufacturing companies, often stretches when it is subjected to tension.

You should also pay attention to how bituminous tiles are sprinkled. The company "Tegola" uses only basalt granulate without any impurities. Basalt is of volcanic origin and therefore is considered a very hard stone. This manufacturer uses three-fraction expanded clay basalt granulate. It is superimposed in three layers, starting from a large fraction and ending with a smaller one. The method by which flexible tegola tiles are made allows to fill the gaps arising between stones of different sizes as densely as possible.

Granular staining is carried out thermally, since the chemical method does not guarantee that the chemical components of the coloring material will not lose their color over time under the influence of sunlight. The thermal method (ceramicization) ensures that the color remains unchanged throughout the life of the product.

Taking into account all the above, there is no doubt that the roofing material called - flexible tegola shingles is the best option when arranging the finish coating of any complex roof. This fact is also confirmed by marketing research, which recognized the company as a leader in sales in the European market (48% of sales).
