The garage, like a residential building, from time to time needs to be repaired. The most vulnerable places of this structure are, as a rule, roof and garage gates. In this case, the roof requires constant cash costs by the owner. If it is already decided to update the waterproofing material, it is important to do these work qualitatively, since the successful “wintering” of vehicles and extension of the durability of the structure depends on this. You can repair the roofs of your own garage yourself. This process does not require much experience in this area and any special skills.
Necessary consumables
Repair of a soft roof does not imply large costs, but it is hardly possible to avoid a visit to a construction store. The main acquisition will be directly waterproofing material. As a rule, rooferoid is most popular for this purpose due to cheapness, amenities when gluing and good operational qualities.
The process of flooring
Before repair, it is necessary to prepare the roof and carefully clear the surface from leaves and garbage. It is better not to remove the old coating – it will contribute to a denser clutch.
Before sticker the roofing material, it should be heated to the corresponding temperature. A special propane burner will help this. At the same time, it is important not to regret the gas for thoroughly warming the roofing material and pay special attention to the corner parts. With insufficient heating, the removal threatens over time and the flow of the roof. At the same time, the area of material that can be glued in a rolon reversal should be warmed up. After heating, you need to expand the roll and smooth the material with light pressure. It is important at the joints to lay the material over.
If the coating is made independently, it is necessary to strictly observe safety precautions when working with a propane burner. The temperature at the output of the burner reaches 600 degrees Celsius!
