Frequently Asked Questions

How long does flat roof waterproofing last?

A quality bituminous membrane lasts 10-20 years if properly applied and thermally protected. Polymer membranes can last 25-40 years. Periodic inspections and timely patching of cracks significantly extend lifespan.

Do I need a permit for roof repairs?

Current repairs and maintenance don't require permits. If you modify the roof truss structure, replace covering over a large area, or add dormers, a building permit may be required. Check with the Hunedoara City Hall.

What's better: ceramic tiles, metal tiles, or sheet metal?

Ceramic tiles are classic, durable (50+ years), but heavy and more expensive to install. Metal tiles are lightweight, varied in design, and cheaper. Sheet metal (standing seam or panels) is the most economical solution but can be noisy during rain without proper insulation.

How long does a new roof installation take?

It depends on surface area and complexity. A standard house (100-150 sqm of roof) can be covered in 5-10 working days. Including the roof structure or thermal insulation, the timeframe can extend to 2-4 weeks.

Can roofers work in the rain?

No, roofing work is done in dry weather, without rain or strong wind. The optimal temperature is 5-30°C. Bituminous membranes are torch-applied, so rain presents an accident risk. Schedule work according to the weather forecast.

How is a pedestrian-access flat roof waterproofed?

A pedestrian flat roof requires a mechanically resistant membrane, usually covered by additional protection (tile layer, gravel, or concrete slabs). The complete system includes vapor barrier, thermal insulation, waterproofing membrane, and protective layer.
