A method for continuously producing a mat of cellulose fibres intended for producing roofing elements made from bitumen-impregnated cellulose fibres, from a dilute slurry of cellulose fibres spread by a headbox on a dewatering fabric of a forming table having a predefined width, the dewatering fabric moving between an inlet of the forming table at the headbox side and an outlet of the forming table, moving the dilute slurry towards the outlet, gradually removing the liquids of the dilute through the dewatering fabric during the movement to obtain, at the outlet, the mat having a thickness of at least 2 mm, the dilute slurry having a certain level of pre-existing mineral materials. The method involves adding mineral material to the cellulose fibres by spraying a controlled quantity of aqueous solution or dispersion of mineral fillers over the width of the forming table onto the surface of the dilute slurry.

A coated textile contains a web based on glass fibres having a back face, a front face and at least one edge. The front face is covered with a coating layer based on silicone and back face is capable of being bonded to a support. The coating layer has a thickness between 5 m and 250 m and includes at least one inorganic flame retardant compound in a quantity which is sufficient for the coated textile to have a gross calorific value of less than or equal to 3 MJ/kg, the inorganic flame retardant compound having a D50 granule size of less than 50 m.

A two component roof coating system and method includes a sufficiently porous fabric attachable to a roof deck. A first component of the two component roof coating may be applied to the fabric after it is attached to the roof. Alternatively, fabric may be pre-soaked with the first component prior to attachment. A second component of the two component roof coating may then be applied to the fabric. The first and second components react with each other to form a waterproof roof coating. The fabric can hold the components in place and prevent sagging.
