Reviews about "Technoelast EPP"
If you need TechnoNIKOL roll waterproofing, then consumers are advised to also pay attention to Technoelast EPP, which is a modified material of increased reliability that performs many tasks. It is intended for installing roofing carpets on buildings for various purposes, waterproofing foundations and other structures that are subject to very high reliability requirements.
According to users, the material can be used in all climatic zones. The manufacturer states that the element of Technoelast is the cold of the polar night. It should be used where other materials cannot provide an adequate level of protection against water. It implements serious construction projects and guarantees high reliability. Its production is carried out by applying a bitumen-polymer binder to the base. The latter contains bitumen, fillers and thermoplastic. Fine-grained powder and polymer film are used as a protective layer.
Waterproofing: for private and industrial construction
So, most builders in our country are well familiar with waterproofing from TechnoNIKOL, which is presented in the following products:
Durable underlay carpets
Underlay carpets from TechnoNIKOL are also quite famous. They allow you to reliably protect the pitched roof and extend its service life up to 60 years.
We are talking about products such as Anderep Plus and Profplus:
Such underlay carpets are produced with mechanical fastening, in the form of special bitumen-free adhesive strips. To connect the carpet sheets together, simply remove the protective tape and press edge to edge with a slight overlap, right along the convenient markings. It is convenient to work with such material; there is little excess left.
The adhesive strip on TechnoNIKOL underlay carpets is quite thin, but has high adhesion and does not allow the possibility of moisture penetration. The strips are slightly offset from the edge, so there is no need to remove the protective film from the adhesive strip.
This adhesive strip allows you to avoid purchasing additional sealants or mastics, and its properties are maintained even at temperatures down to -15°C. The Plus series is the next generation, which has a protective coating made of woven black polypropylene. This makes it possible to use such a carpet as a temporary roof for six months!
Insulation films and temporary roofing
The next series of insulating materials is waterproofing and vapor barrier film. A vapor barrier is installed on the inside of the roof and protects the insulation from water vapor:
Waterproofing serves as a protective barrier for roof insulation already on the outside of the roof:
By the way, temporary roofing is often confused with roof waterproofing. In fact, it perfectly protects the newly laid insulation from bad weather, but for no more than six months - only during construction work:
A separate type of waterproofing is cut-off. It is designed to protect the roof in such difficult places as the mauerlat and those areas of the roof and walls where temporary repairs are being made:
Nicoband bitumen tape
Separate products of TechnoNIKOL are Nicoband bitumen tapes. They incredibly please both professional builders and home craftsmen with their versatility.
If earlier, in order to repair a crack in the roof, you had to drag a bucket of hot mastic upstairs and do one of the not-so-pleasant jobs, now 10-15 minutes are enough for a simple manipulation. So, the tape is cut to the required size, heated with a hairdryer if desired, and glued to the damaged area.
Then simply roll it with a roller. You can do without a hair dryer, but in this case the bitumen melts and provides better adhesion. Experienced builders quickly noticed this, and are not lazy to resort to additional measures, even if the manufacturer does not force them to do so.
What is the secret of such a tape? It contains: a durable and elastic base, modified bitumen and a coating that protects against ultraviolet rays. This tape is suitable for almost all types of surfaces:
These tapes are used to repair gutters, roofs, windows and any complex leaks on almost any roofing material. And all this even in the rain! What is their versatility?
In Russia, about five other suppliers sell similar tapes, also of good quality, but Nicoband occupies a leading position due to the fact that the company itself is trusted.
Breathable waterproofing for roofing
We will also tell you about such a new product as Uniflex-Vent waterproofing. One of the most common problems with roofs in a climate such as Russia is swelling of the roofing carpet due to the accumulation of moisture inside the entire structure.
First, microcracks appear in the roof, liquid gets into them, then it penetrates directly into the insulation and has nowhere to go from there. And the insulation, in turn, is rapidly losing its most important properties.
The inventors of TechnoNIKOL found a solution to this problem - to repair the roof so that moisture is removed from its interior on its own. These are materials from the Uniflex-Vent series. It is used to repair roofing in two layers, with the bottom layer “breathing”.
Thanks to this technology, the roof is repaired in such a way that there is no need to remove the old covering. This saves both effort and costs. The only thing you have to do is to perforate the old coating. At the same time, Uniflex-Vent is waterproof, heat-resistant and durable.
Fused roofing installation technology
Installation of a roll finish coating is carried out by melting the lower polymer-bitumen layer and rolling it to the surface. For this, special gas burners are used. As the bitumen layer softens, the roll is rolled onto the surface with an overlap of 50 mm. To control the degree of softening, a geometric pattern is applied to the bottom protective layer of polymer film. When its outlines begin to distort, the bitumen of the lower layer is softened enough for fastening. The work is carried out in the following order:
- To accurately position the next sheet at the installation site, the roll must first be rolled out. After this, the material is laid on the roof area intended for it. During installation, it is necessary to ensure overlap on vertical surfaces - parapet walls, at the junction of the roof with ventilation pipes, chimneys and other elements of intra-house systems.
- Roll up the roll and start fusing. The process consists of rolling the canvas towards itself - this way it is easier to control the degree of heating of the surface.
It is convenient to fuse the fabric when moving “towards you”
- The movement of the gas burner should be uniform and smooth; special attention should be paid to those places where there is overlap.
- The direction of the flame jet should ensure heating of both the canvas and the surface of the base.
- If there is a need to glue a sheet onto the topping, treating only the lower bitumen layer is not enough. You must first warm up the surface, then roll it with a roller until it is completely immersed in bitumen. After this, you can continue laying as usual.
- Before fusing the roof, the surface of the concrete slabs must be primed. You can purchase a standard mixture at a hardware store or prepare it yourself by mixing bitumen mastic with gasoline in a 1:3 ratio. The treated surface exhibits much stronger adhesion to the deposited material.
Primer treatment enhances adhesion when fusing the film
Such coatings can be used both for traditional roofs and for existing ones. Depending on the materials used, the life cycle of the surface ranges from 10 to 35 years.
Thermal insulation: based on mineral wool and expanded polystyrene
The first fact that people learn about thermal insulation from TechnoNIKOL is the impressive service life of the materials. The most popular glass wool today is Isover, universal and budget-friendly. Already in narrower circles they know about Technoacoustics and Technoplex.
Mineral wool slabs called Technolight are quite in demand in the domestic market. TechnoNIKOL produces them from basalt, which is their secret of quality. The first is low thermal conductivity. Here, 1m3 is compared in its properties to 3000 pieces of clay brick.
Technolight mineral slabs are also good in terms of noise absorption and sound insulation. They are fire-resistant, “breathe”, especially resistant to mechanical and chemical damage. They are environmentally friendly, durable and are considered one of the best for arranging a residential attic and insulating the walls and partitions of a house:
Also, many people know about Rocklight insulation, although not everyone knows that it is a Technonikol product:
As we have already said, Master series products are easy to use in literally 5 steps. This is precisely why insulation from Technonikol is valued, because during installation and operation no problems arise with them:
Together with a specific insulation, TechnoNIKOL develops entire systems in which every detail is thought out:
Operable roofs: types of structures
A classic flat roof can support the weight of solar panels, climate systems and air conditioners. An exploitable flat roof is capable of much more: giving the building a finished look, it saves space. To maximize this important advantage, several options for operating systems have been developed. All of them rest on a rigid base in the form of a concrete screed. A multi-layer TechnoNIKOL roofing pie (TN-roofing) is formed above the base; its composition determines several types of systems.

Traditional system
An operational roof of the classical type has the following set of layers:
- Base
. The roof can only be installed on reinforced concrete floors. - Vapor barrier coating
. It is laid directly on the reinforced concrete slab. The purpose of a vapor barrier is to protect the next insulating layer from moist air penetrating from below. - Insulation
. To ensure that as little heat as possible is lost through the roof, a variety of insulating materials are used, from mineral wool to polystyrene foam. - Waterproofing layer
. - Coverage
. In addition to decorative properties, reliability is important for the finishing coating; Therefore, materials with high wear resistance are selected.

TN-Roof Standard Sidewalk and
TN-Roof Standard Sidewalk KMS; the structure of their roofing pie has a standard arrangement. The thickness and composition of the roof structure depends on what loads are expected:
- Low
. Such loads are typical for roofs in private low-rise housing construction, when a terrace with a seating area for two or three people is installed or a light-weight solarium is installed. The design includes a standard set of layers and a lightweight roofing covering. - Average
_ If you want to organize a terrace for relaxing a large group or create a playground, you will need a different level of roof organization. The roofing pie will include more durable insulation; the front covering will be paving or porcelain tiles. - Intense
. Loads, for example from car parking, are considered high. The structure of the cake is strengthened by a second, high-strength insulating layer; The tile will have to be replaced with a reinforced concrete slab.
Sealants, foams and additives from Technonikol
TechnoNIKOL began producing foam relatively recently - only in 2021, and today it produces 40 cans of foam every minute. TechnoNIKOL produces such quantities of their foams, sealants, and adhesives that they are able to solve any construction problem:
TechnoNIKOL has repeatedly stated that its foam has a special formula, and therefore has high quality and new valuable properties.
A separate type of such foam is adhesive foam. This is a one-component polyurethane adhesive that is used for attaching facade tiles. It does not rot, does not become moldy and even clings to wood. At the same time, it is not afraid of moisture.
But for sealing facades and walls, TechnoNIKOL has developed a whole series of products that should be used together:

Inversion system
A traditional roof has a disadvantage - the insulation is located immediately under the covering and therefore the likelihood of its damage increases significantly. Through defects in the insulating layer, water accumulates in the insulation, reducing its thermal insulation effect and ultimately penetrating into the home. The inversion roof was invented to avoid these problems; its structure is characterized by a reverse (inversion) structure, when the insulation is located above the waterproofing. TechnoNIKOL inversion roofing is described by the following provisions:
- Suitable for installing areas with heavy traffic
. Compared to the traditional one, the inversion design has greater application possibilities. It is used not only to create a recreation area, walking area and solarium, but also a parking lot or a summer cafe. Owners of a country house can also count on a winter garden, decorative pond or swimming pool.

- A type of design
is a green roof. Planting a lawn, arranging flower beds, shrubs or trees give the building an original look. At the same time, a decorative garden along with a layer of soil is a serious load on the structure, so you need to think about creating green splendor in advance. - Selection of materials
. Euroroofing felt, bitumen mastic or PVC membranes are used as a waterproofing layer. For insulation, materials are selected that do not deteriorate upon contact with moisture; Paving slabs are often chosen for finishing. The design of any flat roof includes a drainage system. - Advantages of inversion roofs
. Such systems are characterized by the most reliable waterproofing, protecting residential premises for decades. They can take a significant and uneven load; an additional bonus is higher thermal efficiency than traditional roofs.
Materials for flat and pitched roofing TechnoNIKOL
For pitched and flat roofs, TechnoNIKOL has released only different types of coatings and additional elements, so you can safely go to the store with the project you chose on the pages of a construction magazine - they will pick up absolutely everything! Particularly pleasing is the range of roofing coverings, which have many series, color schemes and implementation ideas.
Shinglas flexible tiles
For example, Shinglas tiles from TechnoNIKOL are very famous both in our country and abroad. The manufacturer initially sought to create a universal coating applicable to any complex roof configuration.
In addition, of all others presented on the Russian market, this tile has the richest color range:
Note that Technonikol produces unusual flexible tiles. Not only are there many collections of it and the wealth of design solutions cannot but please, but the tiles themselves can be one-, two-, or even three-layered.
This allows you to create a sense of volume in the appearance of the roof and implement such architectural ideas that would be worthy of the cover in glossy construction magazines.
Composite tiles Luxard
The new product from TechnoNIKOL is also quite interesting – Luxard composite tiles. It is famous for the fact that it uses natural stone as a crumb:
For a flat roof there are also reliable and durable materials that are sufficient to waterproof and complete it:
Roll fused roofing
Roll roofing from Technonikol is a separate achievement. Working at height, and even with fire, is dangerous and difficult.
You've probably heard about how long and problematic it is to repair fused roofs on city high-rise buildings: bubbles, peeling and similar defects are constantly present there. Therefore, not everyone wants to lay such a roof on the roof of their private home.
TechnoNIKOL is trying to solve this problem. It’s really much easier to work with such rolls: there is a clear deformation of the pattern from the fire, which signals that the roll is warmed up enough, the seam is always smooth and tight:
If you have long dreamed of covering the roof of your garage with just such a roof, take it boldly, everything will work out! Moreover, TechnoNIKOL is now using its products in such complex tasks as the roof of a water park in Nizhny Novgorod or the installation of a real parking lot on the roof of a supermarket in Voronezh.
Additional elements for roofing
TechnoNIKOL is constantly working to improve the quality and versatility of additional roofing elements. One of her latest achievements is a PVC aerator.
This element is used for the renovation of flat roofs. It removes water vapor that penetrates under the roof waterproofing. Thanks to this, the roofing covering is protected from tears and swelling, and therefore lasts much longer.
TechnoNIKOL proposed a new modification of such an aerator, changing its chemical composition and shape. The element itself has become more rigid, performance has improved, and the cap is now fixed more securely and does not get torn off by the wind. The aerator has also become higher and no water gets into it in the spring. Valuable changes!
Soft roll roofing: wide price range
TechnoNIKOL Corporation presents roll materials to the modern market in a variety of price categories:
- Economy - roofing with quick and simple installation.
- Standard - materials that are convenient to use for roofs of various slopes.
- Business – high-quality “breathable” materials.
- Premium – the most durable materials. Service life – 25-30 years.
Among all the rolled materials from TechnoNIKOL, the following sales leaders can be distinguished:
- Linokrom and Bipol Standard, which are made on a particularly durable basis.
- Ecoflex. Special plastomeric-elastomer additives have made this material as resistant to high temperatures and frost as possible, and at the same time this roof also “breathes.”
- Technoelast Flame Stop is made from fire-resistant material.
- The economy class material Bikrost pleases with its high waterproofing, which no longer requires additional layers.
- Technoelast Decor is valuable from a design point of view, because... has a wide range of colors, which is generally unusual for such materials.
Roll roofing from this manufacturer is attached to the roof using special mastics and bitumens, which are preheated:
Construction mixtures: glue, primer and plaster
Dry mixtures are powders that react chemically with water and are used for a variety of construction purposes. Professional builders know that choosing the right mixture is no less important than the same finishing material.
And the mixtures of this company are valued for their high-quality modifying additives, which make their use convenient and practical:
Specialized materials Technoelast
developed and launched into production specialized bitumen-polymer SBS-modified roofing waterproofing materials “Technoelast-Fix” and “Technoelast-Prime”. “Technoelast-Fix” provides for mechanical fastening to the base, and the “Technoelast-Prime” system involves installation on a special bitumen mastic.
These products successfully combine the advantages of modern installation methods and the high quality of premium roll bitumen-polymer materials.
