Roof waterproofing : Invest with confidence

Roof waterproofing is one of the most important investments you can make in your home, with immediate and visible results from the first day of application. The sudden changes in the weather, exposure to the sun and time can cause significant damage to the roof of our house if we have not taken a series of protective measures, the main one being the application of a quality and reliable waterproofing. These are, after all, interventions that upgrade our property in terms of energy and offer us a better standard of living within the building. At the same time they contribute to the aesthetic improvement of our building and help us to get rid of problems such as dampness and mould.

At Monodomiki, we offer complete roof waterproofing solutions by undertaking the study of each property and proposing interventions with the best possible performance. In this article we thoroughly discuss the benefits you enjoy by investing in asphalt membrane waterproofing.

A reliable choice

When it comes to roof waterproofing, asphalt membrane is a reliable and cost-effective choice. Asphalt membranes are also an excellent choice, especially in cases where the roof has the required slopes for water run-off.

Depending on its quality, bituminous membranes are divided into several categories. The two main ones include plastomeric bituminous membranes (APP) and elastomeric bituminous membranes (SBS), each with its own individual characteristics. It is particularly important to choose wisely and after our study the bituminous membranes that we will use, and a professional, such Monodomiki, can guide us and of course determine with great precision the path to follow in order to achieve the best result.

The solution to extreme weather phenomena 

For their part, plastomeric asphalt membranes (APP) are known for their high resistance to UV radiation and high temperatures. This is achieved by the addition of APP-type polymers (disordered propyropylene). The result is a membrane that provides excellent protection against extreme weather conditions. In addition, plastomeric bituminous membranes are suitable for sloping roofs, precisely thanks to their individual characteristics. This makes them a smart choice for any roof, as they are easily adapted and applied with great precision, ensuring a maximum degree of waterproofing. Subsequently, the elastomeric bituminous membranes (SBS) are also extremely elastic and durable. They are a smart and reliable solution for roofs where particularly low temperatures prevail.

The final coating of an asphalt membrane is important to protect it from the weather while ensuring its durability over time. We have three main options available for the final coating which are polyethylene film or sand, coloured mosaic and metal foil (aluminium or copper). The choice should always be made under the guidance of professionals, with experience and training, as the final coating plays a key role in the efficiency and reliability of our roof waterproofing.

At Monodomiki we are able to offer complete and reliable solutions, tailored to the needs of your roof. Before we proceed to the application of roof waterproofing with asphalt membrane, we ensure the study of the site, the investigation of its individual peculiarities and of course the use of high quality raw materials that ensure the best result every time.
