The main advantages and properties of the operated roof
Any construction solution has its advantages and disadvantages. And before the construction, it is necessary to study them thoroughly in order to come to the decision to do it or not. The same thing applies to the creation of an exploited roof.
Let’s start with the pluses.
– Waterproofing, which is used when creating a roof, is protected from a all kinds of temperature extremes. Accordingly, this option can prevent the aging of the material. And in the end it turns out that the service life is significantly increased.
– The waterproofing material of such a roof does not wear out. This is due to the fact that the thermal insulation layer distributes the load around the entire perimeter the same. And accordingly there is no increased pressure at one point.
– EPPS that is used in this structure instead of mineral wool for insulation, very significantly reduces waste on the structure.
– Reconstruction and repair of any complexity to carry out much easier. For such work, you do not even need to touch the waterproofing layer. The disadvantages are much less in such a roof than advantages, but still they are and they need to be announced.
– Since such roofs use funnels to drain water, such work is very difficult. It requires special skills, complex calculations and, as a result, is quite increased in the cost of wages.
– The layer with the use of EPPs must be protected constantly from point pressure and constant loads on the same place.
