Bitumen, also known as isogam, is a waterproofing material that is commonly used for roof waterproofing. It is a bitumen waterproofing layer that prevents water penetration and ensures a complete and seamless surface for roofs.

 

The process of waterproofing a roof using Izogam usually includes the following steps:

​

Surface preparation:

The roof surface must be clean, dry, and free of any debris or contaminants. It may require cleaning and repair to repair existing cracks or damage.

Pre-layer.

A primer is applied to the roof surface, which also has a bitumen base and ensures the adhesion of the surface. The primer also helps create a uniform surface for the bitumen rolls to be laid.

Rolls of isogamic base are laid in rows, gradually opening and closing, using a special technique to cover the surface. It is carefully installed, ensuring proper overlap and alignment of the seams.

Seam processing.
Every seam of the membrane is double-checked to ensure ultimate tightness, so that water ingress is completely prevented. We pay special attention to corners, edges, and protrusions where the likelihood of leakage is high.

Final finishing touches:
Depending on the characteristics of the area, an additional protective layer or surface can be applied to the bitumen membrane. This can include materials such as mineral granules or reflective coatings to increase UV resistance and improve appearance.

Roof waterproofing with Izogam provides several advantages, including:

✅ Effective protection against water leakage and moisture penetration.

✅ Resistance to weather conditions, ultraviolet radiation and temperature fluctuations.

✅ Improved thermal insulation and energy efficiency.

✅ Extends the life of the roof by preventing water damage.

✅ Easy application process and versatility for different types of roofs.

It is important to note that proper installation techniques and following the manufacturer's guidelines are extremely important for the success and longevity of a waterproofing system.
