Bituminous shingles AQUAIZOL Accent Mexico - 25 years warranty

Bitumen shingles are a very common type of roofing for construction today. The main reasons for this are:

• Natural appearance;
• Ease of installation, which does not require a very high level of skill;
• A variety of shapes and the possibility of a design approach.

The leading brand of bitumen shingles on the domestic market is the product "Akvaizol", which has been around for over 20 years.

Composition of bitumen shingles:

• Granulate (stone dust, which can be shale or basalt);
• Modified bitumen;
• Fiberglass;
• Polyethylene;
• Bitumen glue;
• Protective film.

The main component of shingles is bitumen, and depending on its quantity per square meter of the finished product and its quality, advantages and disadvantages are determined.

Types of bitumen:

• Oxidized. Provides for preliminary saturation with oxygen, which starts an artificial aging process before installation on the roof and eliminates the possibility of further growth of moss, fungus and the process of additional oxidation. The disadvantage is the rigidity of the material. It is mainly used in areas with constant temperature changes.
• APP modified bitumen - atactic polypropylene. Adding the desired polymer to the bitumen turns it into artificial rubber, which gives it a high level of elasticity and facilitates installation;
• SBS modified bitumen - styrene-butadiene-styrene. The substance is similar to APP, but differs in production technology.

"Akvaizol" produces all types of bitumen shingles. The main things to pay attention to when choosing are:

• Climatic region of the installation;
• The bitumen content per square meter of the finished product must be at least 800 g;

Installation, as mentioned above, is easy and not problematic.
