Asphalt Deck Covers
In order to talk about asphalt Deck Covers, it is necessary to talk about Deck Covers in general.
When we talk about Deck Covers, we are talking about a structure that closes at the top of the deck.
a building or construction.
What is the function of Deck covers?
The main function of Deck roofs is to offer protection to the building, this is given by both thermal and acoustic insulation, thanks to the roof the building is protected against climatic agents and any other factor from the outside.
Deck covers are especially recommended for cases where a minimum slope is required (1-3%).
What is the composition of our Deck decks?
Each part of our Deck roofs has its function, they are made from a metal sheet, a thermo-acoustic insulation and finally a waterproofing finish is added.
In Cover Industrial we use a corrugated sheet base on which we add rock wool insulation or PIR foam, thanks to this layer we achieve both thermal and acoustic insulation. On top of this insulation we place an asphalt or synthetic TPO or PVDF sheet.
Functions of each part of the Deck Decks
The corrugated sheet metal can be protected with an anti-corrosion process depending on the surrounding environment. It is a metal sheet profiled longitudinally with a certain number of corrugations to ensure greater rigidity and better mechanical strength.
Rock wool insulation is a natural product, made from volcanic rock, whose main function is to provide thermal insulation and passive fire protection in buildings.
PIR foam as its name suggests is a foam composed of a type of rigid polyurethane called PIR, an acronym that comes from the word Polyisocyanurate. Polyisocyanurate is a thermosetting plastic that is used as rigid thermal insulation.
Finally, install a membrane on top of the insulation to ensure proper waterproofing with a layer of asphalt or synthetic TPO or PVC sheeting.
What are asphalt Deck Covers?
When we talk about asphalt deck roofing, we mean that the last layer that makes up the roof is made of asphalt sheets. These sheets are flexible and are composed of bituminous substances that are derived from asphalt. They are adhered to terraces, roofs, concrete roofs or plaster composite roofs.
The function of asphalt sheeting is to insulate and waterproof building roofs to prevent the passage of moisture or leaks as well as to protect roofs from other inclement weather.
What types of asphalt deck roofs are there?
When we refer to types of asphalt deck roofing, we are referring to the type of asphalt sheeting that is chosen for the roof. The first thing is to analyse the use that will be given to it and the function it will perform as well as the surface on which the roofing needs to be applied. This type of sheeting is characterised by the fact that it is composed of a reinforcement coated on both sides with bitumen plastomer (APP) or elastomer.
(SBS).
Each surface can have different finishes and applications of which we highlight the following:
Asphalt deck roofs based on sanded asphalt sheetsSanded asphalt sheets are asphalt sheets for unprotected surfaces with a sand finish. The components of sanded asphalt sheets are reinforcement (fibreglass or polyester) coated on both sides with a bituminous mastic of elastomer modified bitumen (SBS) or polymeric bitumen. The sheet width is 1m and is resistant to high temperatures and extreme low temperatures.
Asphalt deck roofing based on plasticised asphalt sheetsPlastic asphalt sheets are unprotected asphalt sheets with a plastic film finish. The components of plasticised asphalt sheets are the same as those of sanded asphalt sheets. The width of the sheet is 1m and it is resistant to high temperatures and extreme low temperatures.
Self-protecting asphalt deck roofs for non-trafficable surfacesThe first thing is that they require a heat source to be installed. They can be of two types:
Metallic asphalt sheets, which are laid in outdoor areas that are not trafficable to provide special protection against UV rays. They are composed of modified bitumen (LBM type) with a protected surface, reinforced or finished in an embossed aluminium foil.
Asphalt sheets made of mineral granules or slate, with a self-protected surface of natural, light grey, red, green or white slate. They are composed of a reinforcement covered with bituminous mastic of elastomer modified bitumen (SBS) or polymeric bitumen.
Trafficable asphalt sheetsAsphalt material for walkable terraces, specifically designed to be able to live on it with total protection, it insulates your pavement and keeps the terrace in good condition for a long period of time.
Waterproofing membranes for car park roofs:
Composed of modified bitumen and finished in slate granules or high performance geotextile, specially designed for car park roofs and public squares, and even the fabric of these sheets are used for bridges as they are resistant to vehicle traffic.
Other types of asphalt sheets for quick repairs on other surfaces or materials such as downpipes, sloping roofs or wooden pergolas are self-adhesive sheets. Wall sheets are also available.
Benefits of using asphalt Deck Covers:
The main quality and function of asphalt deck roofs is that they are waterproof, preventing the passage of water or filtrations of cold or hot air. It insulates from any inclement weather.
Protects to prevent damage to the structure, condensation, expansion of materials and possible deformations.
They are made of asphalt sheets, a versatile material that adapts perfectly to any surface.
Very flexible material as it is easy to mould and handle
High resistance and durability. Maintain their properties for a minimum of 10 years (and may even exceed 25 years).
They do not require a lot of maintenance, as they do not deteriorate and are weather resistant, making them a good investment in terms of economy and protection.
They serve to improve the thermal and acoustic insulation of the building. They clad and thermally insulate buildings.

Savings on electricity bills. Energy efficiency is one of the many benefits of using asphalt sheeting, as it prevents heat from entering in summer and escaping in winter, saving on your electricity bill through more efficient use of air conditioning and heating.
