The roof of the building is the main protective element of the entire structure. First of all, a good roof covering should fully protect the building from possible precipitation in the form of rain, hail or snow. Besides it is desirable for a roof covering to have a sufficient period of operational use. In order to prolong the life of the roof and to increase energy efficiency of buildings it is required to normalize the level of temperature and humidity [1].
