Ariel Bitumen Roof Kit - 3 x 5m

The 3 x 5m kit is designed to cover the roofs of garden sheds and small agricultural buildings. It's recommended to measure your specific roof dimensions to confirm suitability.

The kit includes black corrugated bitumen sheets, black bitumen verge, foam fillers, and fixings. However, the timber structure for the shed is not included.

The bitumen sheets are guaranteed waterproof for 15 years.

Bitumen can soften in extreme heat, but the material is designed to withstand typical weather conditions. Good ventilation around the structure is advisable in very hot climates.

Clean with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.

Painting bitumen roof sheets is generally not recommended as it can affect their performance and lifespan. The sheets are supplied in a finished black color.

The sheets are made from bitumen-saturated organic fibres, making them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to some other roofing materials.

Ensure the underlying roof structure is even and stable. Allow sheets to acclimatize to ambient temperature for a few hours before installation if they have been stored in cold conditions.

Ensure foam fillers are used correctly at each fixing point and that fixings are snug but not overtightened. Check that sheets are overlapped sufficiently.

This is normal behaviour for bitumen in high temperatures. Ensure good ventilation around the structure to minimize heat build-up. The material will firm up as temperatures decrease.
