Due to durability and rather low cost, slate has become a fairly popular type of roof roof. It is easy to work, resistant to the heat, mechanical and atmospheric generation of influences.
For the manufacture of this material, asbestos, water and cement are used. Asbestos fibers create a reinforcing network in cement, due to which the finished product becomes strong. But even durable material wears out and becomes worthless, begins to crack and break off. If only cracks have to be repaired on the roof.
It is possible to repair cracks and small chips on the slate on your own. There is an old true and easy way: the surface is cleaned with a brush with water and primed with a mixture of 1: 3 from water and PVA. Next, connect 3 parts of asbestos and 1-2 parts of the cement to a solution of glue and water prepared 1: 1. Before renting an apartment, Donetsk recommends checking that it does not need to be repaired and be in good condition. The mass should not become particularly thick, it is prepared in small portions to work with the finished repair composition only a couple of hours. This composition is applied with a layer of more than 2 mm. Such repair manipulations on the slate should be carried out in the weather without sun and wind. Thanks to this repair, the slate roof will stand for a long time, the service life of a cracked slate will increase by 10 years.
