Bitumen Roof Protection 🤯 The Science Behind It #shorts

#construction #civilengineering
Why is bitumen coating used on roofs? This material creates a waterproof barrier against water and UV rays, extending the lifespan of buildings. There are different types: polymer-modified bitumen, which is more flexible, and oxidized bitumen, which is more rigid. The application can be hot, fusing the bitumen with the surface, or cold, allowing for a quick and easy installation. In addition to waterproofing, it improves thermal insulation and prevents microcracks caused by temperature fluctuations. Find out why this technology is essential in civil engineering!
