Making an insulation using NEXLER Protection bituminous felt should be carried out according to the technical design, in accordance with the current building regulations and the detailed guidelines for the design and execution of insulation contained in NEXLER Insulation Systems and the Technical Data Sheet.
The bituminous felt should be installed in ambient temperatures of above 0°C, this requirement applies to the time of day and night.
Do not carry out insulation work during strong winds and precipitation.
In addition, the substrate should meet the following requirements:
- dry substrate (without any visible traces of moisture or darkening caused by moisture),
- clean substrate (the surface of the concrete is free of loose fractions, dust, oil stains, grease and other impurities),
- smooth substrate (local unevenness and cavities in the surface of concrete do not exceed ± 5 mm),
- even substrate (the gaps between the surface of the substrate and a 4 m long batten placed on the concrete substrate do not exceed 10 mm).
Before welding NEXLER Protection bituminous felt it is recommended to prime old bitumen layers with water-based bitumen products for example NEXLER BITFLEX Primer, or solvent-based bitumen primers for example NEXLER Penetrator G7.
NEXLER Protection bituminous felt should be fixed by welding to the underlayer bituminous felt or to an old, renovated, and primed bituminous substrate. The bituminous felt can also be welded onto thermal insulation boards on a previously installed underlayer bituminous felt.
As a result of heating both the substrate and the underside of the bituminous felt with a burner, the thin protective plastic foil melts, the asphalt is slightly melted and the bituminous felt sticks evenly to the substrate. Maintain a bituminous felt overlap min. 8 cm wide along the length of the felt strip and an overlap min. 12 cm wide at the joint perpendicular to the length of the felt strip.
Before use, please read the application details in the product's Technical Data Sheet.

Photovoltaic systems are becoming increasingly popular on Polish roofs. For investors, they are not only an ecological source of energy, but also a real opportunity for savings and a step towards energy independence. However, in order for photovoltaic panels to work effectively for many years, it is essential to prepare the roof properly.
