Flexible tiles - a guarantee that your roof is always in the right place

A comment

We looked at various materials for a long time, but chose a flexible tile. I am engaged in interior decoration of houses, but together with my husband we installed flexible tiles without any problems. For 3 years of use, no problems have been identified. They took shinglas Technonikol from a direct dealer for soft-roof.su

Good soundproofing.
High resistance to all adverse operating conditions, including wind loads.
Low specific weight, which reduces the cost of hardening the roof structure.
Profitability at a expense.
Long enough life.
It does not rot, does not corrode.
Creating a sealed surface on the roof.
There is no need to install snow retainers.
A huge variety of color shades.
The ability to use on any roof with the most complex shapes.
Simplicity of installation process.

Minuses

As such, there are no minuses. The main thing is to comply with the installation rules.

Flexible tile of Rufleks Ornam

A comment

Flexible roof tiles, very convenient if you have complex slopes. I have just these, with dormer-windows, broken. Than to cut a metal tile, I preferred flexible, as you want, and you stack it. Of course, there are also difficulties, everyone decides for himself. I chose the soft roof of Ruflex Ornam, cut in semicircles, the color is red clay. In Rufstroy, they gave me a preliminary calculation, based on materials and money, then I went to see in their office what Ruflex looks like in real life. Prices arranged, looking even better than in the photo. And stable, neither afraid of heat nor cold. Immediately in Rufstroy and bought, agreed on delivery in a few days. However, for some reason they didn’t bring everything at once, several packages were not enough, apparently miscalculated during shipment. It happens. I did not make noise, especially since they apologized to me a day later for free. A roof with flexible tiles looks great, and what's good, it eliminates all the noise, even in a shower under the roof almost nothing is heard.

pros

Lays down on any roof, looks very good, does not pass noise

Beautiful, high quality and at an affordable price.

A comment

Three years ago, I made a gazebo. After much deliberation on how to cover the roof, I leaned towards the flexible tiles. The price for it is acceptable, the guarantee is not bad, and it looks beautiful.

Of course, it was worth tinkering with it during installation, but the result is excellent. All the details evenly and aesthetically fell into place, which is simply not a word. A few winters have already passed, and I decided to check the condition of my tile this year. Only a few pieces had to be replaced, the rest of the coating was as good as new - not a single crack.A neighbor said that she allegedly emitted some kind of smell over time. I don’t know how anyone has it, but it smells nothing to me.

In general, I am pleased with my choice. I’m thinking about replacing the cover on the bathhouse.

pros

esthetics, relative cheapness, durability, unpretentiousness in repair and operation

Minuses

installation labor

Flexible tiles easily solve the problems of non-standard roofs

A comment

Two years ago, we acquired a summer cottage on the shores of a small lake. Above the lake, near the water, stood a bizarre structure, reminiscent of an old tower. This tower turned out to be quite strong, and I decided to restore it so that in the summer I could relax with my family.

The wall cladding and interior work was dealt with quite quickly by his brother. But when the question concerned roofing, problems arose. The non-standard shape of the roof with turrets, bells and whistles required a special approach. After consulting with specialists, I decided to use flexible tiles. This material turned out to be very useful, without it, the whole beauty of the upper part of our tower would have to be completely demolished. Roofing was not very difficult. With the help of experienced consultants, we managed to do everything ourselves, however, it took a lot of time.

But the roof turned out to be fabulously beautiful and adequately protects us from the rains and the scorching sun, while in two years its appearance has not changed at all.

pros

ease of installation, aesthetic beauty

Laminated flexible tiles: the best of bitumen

A comment

My roofing team works in budget cottage villages. Here, laminated flexible tiles are always in honor. Why, I realized when I began to look for coverage for the parent's dacha. Reasons: low price, the availability of detailed instructions. My father made half of the roof on it while I arrived. Nothing, quite successfully. I myself love to work with this material: a minimum of a tool, just nothing time-effort.

The surface looks solid and attractive. But you watch how a particular modification behaves in the heat of frost. Sometimes you wait for the temperature to normalize. Moody versions then (after dozens of years) go cracking due to temperature instability. But this is nonsense. There are no noticeable shortcomings: it smells neutral, “absorbs” noise, is maintainable (destroyed pieces are replaced).

pros

low cost, ease of installation, lack of smell, beauty, maintainability

Minuses

some species do not fit well in the heat of frost, after 10-15 years they become covered with cracks

Term of use

more than five years
