Bitumen Sheets – Complete Roof and Facade Protection

What are bitumen sheets and where to use them

Bitumen sheets are lightweight corrugated roofing panels made from cellulose fibers impregnated with bitumen. Perfect for covering summer houses, garages, sheds, gazebos and carports. Products like PLOČA AQUALINE STAR ZELENA 0.8X2M :) offer excellent value for residential projects where roof weight must be minimized.

Advantages over traditional materials

Unlike asbestos or metal roofing, bitumen sheets are flexible, easily cut with a regular knife, and simple enough for DIY installation. No specialized tools or professional roofer skills required. Brands such as Aqualine and BTM manufacture sheets resistant to UV radiation and temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C.

Sheet dimensions and thickness

Standard sizes are typically 2x0.95m, 2x0.86m or 2x0.8m, with thickness of 2.6-3.2mm and wave height of 32-38mm. One sheet covers approximately 1.6-1.9m² net area. When purchasing, calculate 10-15% extra material for overlaps and cutting waste at edges.

Installation and required accessories

Proper installation requires wooden substructure with batten spacing of 45-61cm (depending on wave height). Use special nails with PVC caps that prevent water leakage – products like EKSERI CRNI SA PVC KAPOM ZA ONDECO PLOČU 200KOM ensure hermetic sealing. Minimum 20 nails are needed per sheet.

Common installation mistakes

Never overtighten nails – bitumen material needs space for natural expansion and contraction. Sheets are installed from bottom to top, with side overlap of one wave and vertical overlap of 15-20cm. Avoid installation at temperatures below 0°C as sheets become brittle.

Maintenance and lifespan

Quality bitumen sheets from BTM and Aqualine brands last 15-25 years with minimal maintenance. Check nail condition annually and retighten any loose ones. Clean moss with a soft brush and water – avoid pressure washers as they can damage the bitumen coating.
