However, these coatings have specific characteristics that need to be taken into account when installing solar power plants: <\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Protection against damage: the<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/epdmstogai.lt\/en\/epdm-coating\/\">EPDM coating <\/a>is susceptible to mechanical damage, so it is important to use installation systems that protect the roof covering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adequate load distribution: the<\/strong> EPDM coating often covers the insulation layer, so it is necessary to ensure even weight distribution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preserving the waterproofing: the<\/strong> installation system must not damage the waterproofing of the roof, as this could cause leaks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"k-2-dome-6-sistema-idealus-sprendimas-epdm-stogams\">&#8220;K2 Dome 6: the ideal solution for EPDM roofs<\/h2>\n\n<p>&#8220;K2 Dome 6 is one of the most advanced solar installation systems specifically designed for flat roofs. It has the following features: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-montavimas-be-stogo-pazeidimu\">1. <strong>Installation without roof damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>&#8220;The K2 Dome 6 system uses ballasted brackets, so there is no need to drill or mechanically fix the brackets to the roof. This protects the EPDM coating from damage. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-mat-s-support-pad-pagalves-naudojimas\">2. <strong>&#8220;Using the Mat S Support Pad<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Special Mat S Support Pads are used when installing K2 Dome 6 on EPDM roofs. These cushions have several important functions: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tolerance absorption:<\/strong> they help to absorb structural tolerances, ensuring stability and durability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roof protection: the<\/strong> cushions protect the EPDM coating from mechanical damage and ensure that the ballast brackets do not cause cracks or deformation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Material composition:<\/strong> they are made of high quality EPDM material, which is resistant to environmental influences and perfectly compatible with EPDM roofing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compatibility: the<\/strong> Mat S Support Pad is designed to be used with the K2 BasicRail system for maximum efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-aerodinaminis-dizainas\">3. <strong>Aerodynamic design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The system is designed to minimise wind resistance, which is particularly important for flat roofs.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-lengvas-ir-greitas-montavimas\">4. <strong>Easy and quick installation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>&#8220;K2 Dome 6 is a modular system that is easy to assemble and adapt to different projects.
