Implementation and maintenance

During periods of fog, persistent rain or melting snow the air just below the tiles becomes saturated with moisture and it is necessary to evacuate this moisture as quickly as possible.

For this purpose, you need to follow simple but mandatory rules.

• Always ensure the free passage of air between the underside of the battens and any other area (such as plastic film, cardboard, asphalt felt, thermal insulation, etc ...) keeping an average 2cms of space (minimum).
• Provide an air entry on the lower and an air exit poitn on the upper part.
       In the case of roof work, take precautions so as not to deteriorate it.

Why clean your roof?

Let's start looking at cleaning the roof. The roof should be cleaned regularly to preserve the roofing materials and the structure of the house. Indeed, the roof, particularly sensitive to external aggressions, is an ideal breeding ground for many parasites.

Over the seasons, plant debris, moss, industrial dust, etc. settle there cheerfully by obstructing the flow and maintaining abnormal humidity on the surface of the tiles, harming the proper functioning and the good conservation of the cover. Pollution also soils your roof: it leaves black, unattractive traces.

Cleaning your roof is therefore essential; cleaning is generally done twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall.

Regular maintenance is necessary.

So easily gives shine to a roof, but is not without danger. Indeed, it is very likely to make tile roofs very porous by attacking the very structure of the tiles. In the long term, the use of bleach on a roof will therefore lead to an increased risk of infiltration. It will also weaken the tiles and make them brittle.

Its wear and tear can have serious consequences on the entire structure of your home: water infiltration, partial or total collapse of the roof, damage to the frame, presence of mold and parasites in the attic...
