A tight and durable roof is one of the most important issues that should be considered by the investor when deciding to construct a manufacturing hall. Its functionality may be crucial in relation to the safety of employees in the hall. The fact that the assets stored in it may exceed its value multiple times is also important. For this reason, it is recommended to review the roofs’ tightness as well as to carry out the necessary repairs.
The most common problems with the manufacturing hall’s roof
The most common problem that can lead to significant defects are roofs’ external dirt caused by weather conditions. In this case, our experts recommend to clean regularly the roof using industrial vacuum cleaners. The so-called pressure washer, which will also effectively wash any dirt from the roof’s surface, may also be used successfully.
Painting the roof’s surface
Physical wear and tear the roof shell, which affect the necessity of its repainting, is a much more complicated problem. Then, it is necessary to conduct technical assessment by a professional company and to select optimal protection technology. In order to properly carry out the renovation of the roof, the best solution is to entrust this task to a team of experts. A professional company, using sophisticated equipment, will clean and degrease the roof’s surface and then, using a spraying method, paint it. Entrusting this task to the experts will enable to achieve high-quality coatings ensuring the roof’s functionality for years.
Membrane roof
One of the problems that occur after many years of the hall’s use is wear and tear of roof membranes made of plastics. Old coverings of PVC membrane, after years of operation, shrink causing cracks and tearing off the foil at the edges of the roof.
Thus, the waterproofing ceases to fulfil its task. Therefore, there is a need to lay its new layer on the entire surface of the roof. In order to merge particular components of a given membrane, specialist, self-propelling welding equipment is used. The use of professional equipment allows to exclude human error ensuring 100% of roof tightness.
One of the main advantages of PVC membrane is its small weight, the possibility of external thermal insulation system without interfering with the roof structure as well as carrying out the renovation also in the winter under the most extreme weather conditions and low temperature.

Renovation works usually must take place during the normal course of manufacture without interrupting the activities of the employees in the hall. Therefore, when deciding for new waterproofing, you should consider also other criteria such as, for example, the use of solvents. Air conditioners on the roof, which introduce fresh air to the hall, are another factor that forces the need to use absolutely odourless products, and thus safe for the employees.
The steel hall’s roof should be, above all, durable and reliable, so that it can fulfil its role for many years. In order to make this possible, you should remember about regular inspection of its technical condition and carrying out the necessary repairs. Thanks to that, both employees and property stored in it will be effectively protected against the effects of weather conditions.
