HOW TO WATERPROOF AND INSULATE A ROOF

1. I need to get great waterproofing and if it also reduces my energy consumption so much the better.
2. I need waterproofing that will protect me from the wear and tear of trampling, because I also use my roof for dancing nights!!! (maybe I have exaggerated here, but it is to give an idea of the very high wear resistance the substrate must be subjected to)

Based on what our response is, we can choose the right product for us.

Well have you chosen?

Perfect!!! Keep in mind because now we start with the common preparation technique.

Yes!!! Whether your choice is A or whether it is B, the preparation is identical.

In fact, to achieve an excellent waterproofing of our roof, the preparation of the substrate is essential, which in this case is the same for both requirements.

It remains clear and obvious that without proper preparation of the substrate, the results will not be obtained, which is why we always recommend that professional applicators be consulted and that DIY be avoided in this specific case.

HOW TO PREPARE IN SUPPOSITION OF A ROOF TO BE WATERPROOFED AND INSULATED

There are 3 simple application steps + 1 optional step

First, a very good job of cleaning the substrate must be done, so remove with a brush any efflorescence, flaking parts of old paint, and remove all dust present.

Phase 1

In this phase the application of the 1st primer is performed.

1. If we are dealing with an absorbent substrate, such as cement, concrete, etc. etc., we will use R25 primer
2. If we are dealing with an absorbent substrate, such as coriglian chianche, we will use the primer H95 IMPRIMITATION
3. If we are on a substrate with old sheathing, bituminous sheathing, slated sheathing already applied, we will use the specific primer BITUMPRIMER

Step 2

I lay down the MAT-di-VETRO that will make the substrate’s waterproofing much more durable and high-performance, and at this point we can apply the second primer and specifically R25, which will have the function of both making the final finishing product HASTEN and further INCREASE the adhesion qualities of the MAT-di-VETRO

Step 3.

Application of the specific product.

At this point, all we have to do is to choose the right product to use according to our needs to be met and apply 2 finishing coats of it.

Optional step

For any uneven surfaces, a coat of ResinElastic PR cementitious sheathing can be used before the 2 coats of the finished product.
