ROOF TARPAULINS

Choosing the right roof tarpaulin depends on several key factors: the type of project (emergency repair, renovation, long-term protection), the structure you need to cover (house, garage, shed, agricultural building), the local weather conditions, and of course, your budget.

At Bâches-Direct, we offer a wide range of Tecplast roof tarpaulins, available in PVC or low-density polyethylene (PEBD), designed for both private use and construction professionals.

For temporary work such as emergency repairs, roof leaks, or short-term structure protection, the PEBD roof cover is the ideal choice: lightweight, flexible, cost-effective, and easy to install.

For more demanding projects or roofs exposed to harsh weather conditions, the PVC Tecplast roof tarpaulin is your best option. This material offers excellent durability, full waterproofing, UV protection, and can last up to 15 years.

Our roof tarpaulins are available with or without eyelets, in standard sizes or made to measure, to perfectly meet your roofing needs.

Roof tarpaulins with eyelets are ideal for quick and easy fastening. The metal eyelets, evenly spaced along the edges, allow the tarpaulin to be secured firmly using bungee cords, tensioners, or ropes, ensuring excellent wind resistance. These are perfect for temporary coverings or quick installations.

Roof tarpaulins without eyelets (cut to size) are often preferred by professionals who want to nail the tarpaulin directly under battens or secure it with straps or staples directly onto the structure.

At Bâches-Direct, both options are available in the Tecplast range, made from strong, waterproof, UV-resistant materials, offering great durability and wind resistance.

In the event of sudden roof damage, missing tiles, or leaks caused by bad weather, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent water from penetrating the building. For emergency situations, the PEBD roof tarpaulin is the most recommended option: light, flexible, easy to handle, and quick to set up.

For longer-term use or in severe weather conditions, the PVC Tecplast roof tarpaulin is highly appreciated by professionals (carpenters, roofers, builders) for its durability, full waterproofing, and excellent value for money. These tarpaulins remain reliable even under heavy rain, strong winds, intense heat, frost, or snow.

The Tecplast range guarantees excellent tear resistance and moisture protection. Installation is easy, whether using eyelets and cords or by nailing the tarpaulin between battens or wooden beams for immediate coverage of the damaged roof area.

Yes, at Bâches-Direct, we offer a fully customizable made-to-measure service for your roof tarpaulin. This ensures a perfect fit for your roof, avoiding waste and time-consuming adjustments on-site.

Thanks to our online configurator, you can choose: the material (PVC or PEBD), the exact dimensions (accurate to the centimeter) and the type of finishing (with or without eyelets).

A custom-made roof cover allows for faster, cleaner, and perfectly tensioned installation, which increases the lifespan of your protection. This is the ideal solution for irregular roofs, large surfaces, or specific construction projects.

The lifespan of a roof tarpaulin depends on the material used, the quality of installation, and the environmental conditions it is exposed to.

PEBD tarpaulins are lightweight, flexible, and affordable, designed mainly for short-term or temporary use, such as post-storm protection or as a provisional cover between two work phases. The models we offer at Bâches-Direct are reinforced and UV-treated, with a lifespan of up to 24 to 36 months under normal outdoor use.

For intensive or long-term use, we highly recommend PVC Tecplast tarpaulins. These covers offer total waterproofing, excellent wind resistance, and outstanding UV protection. With their high grammage and anti-aging treatment, they maintain their flexibility and integrity even after years of exposure. Depending on the model, finishing, and exposure conditions, their lifespan can reach up to 15 years.

Installing a roof tarpaulin requires proper planning, care, and the right tools to ensure a safe and effective setup. Always install your tarpaulin in dry, calm weather conditions, avoiding rainy or windy days. We strongly recommend working with at least two people, especially for larger surfaces, to handle the tarpaulin safely.

The installation should always start from the bottom of the roof and move upwards. This ensures that the tarpaulin strips overlap properly, allowing rainwater to flow off the roof without seeping underneath. Make sure to leave enough overhang into the gutter to allow proper drainage and avoid water pooling.

The tarpaulin must be well tensioned and securely fixed to the structure. Depending on the finishing, you can use eyelets with bungee cords or tensioners, or nail the tarpaulin directly under the battens.

Yes, the Tecplast roof tarpaulins from Bâches-Direct are specially designed to withstand extreme weather conditions: heavy rain, strong winds, frost, and snow.

Thanks to their UV treatment and high mechanical strength, these tarpaulins are particularly suited for outdoor use. The heavy-duty PVC roof tarpaulins offer excellent stability, even in strong gusts of wind.

For optimal performance, it is essential to keep the tarpaulin well tensioned and securely fastened with battens, bungee cords, or straps.

The price of a roof tarpaulin depends on several factors, including the material (PEBD, PVC, or EPDM), the dimensions, and the thickness (grammage) of the tarpaulin.

A PEBD roof cover is the most affordable option, with prices starting from €19.99 for standard sizes.

A PVC roof tarpaulin, known for its strength and durability, ranges between €60 and €500, depending on the size and finishing.

EPDM tarpaulins, often used for flat roofs or professional projects, are the most expensive option, with prices easily exceeding €300.
