Bitumen shingles (hexagonal) are roofing materials made from a glass or organic base mat impregnated with oxidised or modified bitumen and coated with mineral granules. The hexagonal shape creates a distinctive honeycomb pattern, which ensures even overlap and effective water drainage. This type of roofing is used on the roofs of saunas, pergolas, garden sheds and wellness facilities. Bitumen provides waterproofing and flexibility, whilst the mineral granules protect the surface from UV radiation and mechanical wear. The material is lightweight, weather-resistant and suitable for pitched roofs with a gentle slope. It is an economical and functional solution offering good value for money and a long service life.
The advantages of bitumen shingles

- Good durability at low cost: Provides long-lasting protection without the need for expensive materials or maintenance.
- An aesthetic design suitable for wellness facilities: the hexagonal pattern creates a clean and harmonious visual effect in natural surroundings.
