Les applications à froid d'émulsions d'asphalte et de brai de houille constituent des méthodes d'emploi du bitume qui semblent offrir quelques avantages sur les procédés classiques de bitumage à chaud des toitures. [...] l'émulsion d'asphalte est appliquée à la brosse sur la chape de base. Un canevas très lâche de fibres de verre est ensuite soumis à un brossage qui l'enrobe dans l'émulsion. On ajoute à la brosse une nouvelle couche d'émulsion qui forme le revêtement final. 2, record 1, French, - balai%20%C3%A0%20franges
