Wide popularity in modern construction Houses acquired roof coating with soft roof. Good physical characteristics guarantee the protection of the inner surface of the building from the exposure to the external environment (weather precipitation, climatic conditions). Interesting design, small weight, ease of operation allow you to lay a coating on your own on any building. The individual device of the soft roof requires the presence of accuracy and patience. Additional advantages will bring the knowledge of the main nuances of the roof coating process.

Common views

Materials for the soft roof are considered analogues of the rubberoid. Due to flexibility and strength, they are capable of covering any surface on the roof, without causing difficulties. Regular modification allows you to improve qualitative characteristics Tiles, which increases the timing of their service. It is customary to distinguish three types of roofing materials:

1. Rolled. They are placed by strips, fasten using the methods of burning or overlapping parts. Used for roofs with angle of inclination at 3-9 degrees. Suitable for the construction of industrial facilities.
2. Mastics. Comes in chilled or preheated form. Installation occurs by spraying the substance throughout the roof area. As a result, a solid roof is obtained without characteristic seams and cracks. Similar soft building materials are suitable for coating flat roofs.
3. Bituminous. Presented in the form of tile sheets, cut into several parts. It can be decorated in a variety of ways to: have direct or curly edges, possess a monochrome or textural color type. The inner part of the sheets contains adhesive tape, which allows you to firmly attach the material to the prepared base. For additional fixation, the bitumen tiles fasten 4-6 nails. Suitable for roofs that are not subject to constant influence of the Sun. At high temperatures, the material is capable of melting and gluke into a common mass.

A similar classification of soft roof materials helps to determine the necessary funds that are suitable for individual needs.

Stages of creating a roof

Using soft tiles, you can cover the roof of any inclination exceeding a value of 11.3 degrees. Assortment of manufacturers, various degrees of quality, a certain classification make it possible to choose the optimal material for the implementation of a soft roof.

In addition to the reliability of the funds used, special attention is paid to the proper implementation of the main procedures. Standard technology of soft tile roofing technology provides compliance with several steps.

Basis coating

On the preparatory Stage Complete roof base and rafters are installed, as with an ordinary coating procedure. The reliability of the roof depends on the two-layer crate consisting of rigid boards and OSP plates, plywood resistant to moisture. It is important to remember that this part of the roof should:

• do not have gaps, irregularities, cracks, the exception is the seams, the distance between which is about 2-5 mm;
• contain thick boards, which will ensure a greater degree of reliability;
• have treated wood preferably conifer breed, the normalized humidity of which does not exceed 20%.

When using an OSP, the sheet sheets are stacked in a checker order, in the case of boards - in parallel to each other. Subsequent actions are determined depending on the target destination of the roof and time of the year.

Roofing process

At the second stage, the coating scheme of a laptile building provides for the imposition from above the crate of a carpet of soft tiles. Otherwise, the roof structure varies significantly. On the inner trim (from plywood, chipboard, drywall) and the crate for this part of the roof, 2 layers of an additional means for insulation of separated vapor polypoletors are installed. On top of the construction there are rafters with a crate, and at the end are covered with lining carpet and tiled.

Lining

The lining carpet is sprinkled completely on the entire surface of the roof. If the slope slope exceeds a 18-degree value, the material is stacked around the perimeter around the protrusions and chimneys. It is recommended to acquire a tile and cover the same manufacturer, which will allow funds to interact as much as possible and complement each other.

Laying tile

Basic information on the use and method of use of the tile provides the manufacturer. If possible, the installation is carried out by establishing metal oles, after which they are moving to the coating. In general, the laying is starting to perform from the middle of the lower rows. The material is fixed by drivening into the mount of 4x nails.

In the area of \u200b\u200bthe skates, the straight tile is applied first. Then go to the bulk tile, the installation of which is carried out in the direction of the bottom upwards. The work is fixed using thermal processing.

Separate attention is paid to the coating of the skate surfaces. The presence of ventilation exits involves the use of plastic aerators that will protect air ducts from overlapping. After fixing from above, the element is covered with soft tiles, which will support the overall design of the house. The installation of the coating is carried out in the direction of frequent air flows, moving upwards. Each unit of soft roof must overlap the previous one for several centimeters.

Features

According to the weather criterion, the order of roof coating can be carried out:

1. In rainy weather, then work begins after ensuring waterproofing. Then proceed to the construction of the control crate, the coating of plywood, lining material and flexible tile.
2. In dry weather begins with vapor barrier. After forming a crate, laid noise-insulating materials and covered with top cover. Installing the insulation of waterproofing and control crate completes the roof device under a soft roof.
3. In cold weather, the process is carried out similarly to the previous steps of work: Plywood and lining carpet under soft tiles are installed.

Additional equipment

Technology, soft roofing devices can be developed taking into account the creation of the ventilation system on the roof. Such practice will allow you to increase the life of the roof for several years. Due to the fact that the material used poorly misses water and pairs in any direction, the question arises regarding the feasibility of creating a system that supports the circulation of air to avoid the appearance of mold and fungus.

The project of the ventilation system may include:

1. Production located in the karnis zone. Thanks to its properties, the channels will provide the air into the roofs of the roof of the soft tiles.
2. Clauses between the roof and insulating materials, which will allow regularly filling the latter with the necessary amount of air.
3. Analogs of pipes, mainly located along the surface of the skate.

The normal functioning of the system is explained by the presence of three components: channels for air intake, gaps between the elements of the coating and individual hoods.

Benefits and disadvantages of material

The soft tile has a wide range of advantages that explain the spread of material on construction sites. Physical properties The material indicates a high level of noise insulation, water resistance. Corrosion resistance, weather conditions, water allows the use of soft roof to cover the roofs for a long time.

The main positive features include a pleasant appearance. A wide variety allows you to use tiles for the roof of buildings of any design. Compact sizes and minor weight facilitate the processes of transportation and operation of products. As a result, the buyer has the ability to independently implement necessary work on the installation of the tiles.

Despite the presence of significant advantages, these materials may be rather expensive for certain populations. Features of the roofing technology include their own setting of the crate, which entails an increase in the cost of wood.

The technology of the soft roofing device provides compliance with certain construction rules. The effectiveness and performance of work depends on many factors that concern storage conditions. Not a latter role when installing the roof plays the feasibility of choosing a certain type of flexible tile.

After making a decision on the need for a roof, the consumer must ensure that:

1. Purchased materials and tools were stored in a closed room. The lining carpet is installed vertically, used sheets or logs - horizontally, not more than 16 rows in height.
2. Mustically carried out thermal insulation during the installation of the roof. The role of the insulation can perform mineral wool for construction. The material with the material is eliminated by circulating the air mass in the ventilation channels.
3. The purchased tile coincided in appearance, form, color. Belonging to one party will ensure the identity of the material in physical characteristics, which will emphasize the holistic type of roof.
4. It is recommended to avoid the roof of the roof at temperatures below +5. The cold increases the degree of fragility of the material, which exposes tiles to additional damage. Neaxorate appeal will result in damage to the funds used and unreliable installation on the roof.
5. During the installation process, it is recommended to use only the installed tools. The use of burner is inappropriate. Additional fixation guarantees the use of adhesive solutions.
6. In sunny weather, it is desirable not to walk on the roof without special devices. The impact of direct rays is warming up the tile, as a result of which the worker can deform the material.
7. The base for the roof of the filtered materials should be solid, solid. This will increase their durability and use.

The device of the roof of soft tiles is considered a fairly light process. Independent work work does not require specialized knowledge. To obtain an effective result, it is enough to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe rules and features of the coating.

Features of the installation of flexible tile:
The minimum bias of the roof at which the use of flexible tiles is allowed - 1: 5 (11.3 degrees) (Fig. 1).

Climatic Installation Features:
In the case of a roofing device from a flexible tile at temperatures below +5 ° C, packaging with tiles before installation should be stored in a warm room. It is allowed to use thermofen during installation.

For mounting flexible roofing winter - really not best time, In accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturers, this material cannot be laid at temperatures below +5 degrees. C. The fact is that the shrestle (sheet with 3-4 "tilents") is attached to a wooden base and a lining carpet spreading along its surface with the help of nails and a self-adhesive layer, which is available on back side Gone. In order to glue the shingles with the base and gents of neighboring rows, ensuring the tightness of the coating, the sun rays are needed, which gradually "melt" the self-adhesive layer. And the sun in winter, alas, not enough.

On the other hand, in recent years, winter in the middle lane of Russia is only cold. In addition, a minus temperature can be prepared for flexible roof - mount slinge system, solid wood flooring, heat the roof, steam and waterproofing, not forgetting to protect the roof design from snow using a solid polyethylene film or a regular rubberoid. In the spring, without losing precious time, lay a flexible tile, after removing the film or rubberoid and setting the lining carpet.

With a strong need can be mounted flexible roof And in the frost. For this, over the roof (or some kind of it) build a wooden or metal design, covered by special for scaffolding Shopping film or polyethylene film (the so-called "warmly"). From the inside the "second roof" is heated by electrical or diesel thermal guns, as a result of which the necessary plus temperature is achieved. It is worth adding that "warm-up" covering the whole house makes it possible to lead not only roofing, but also, for example, plastering on the facade, for which it is also necessary to heat. "Teplyak" is a difficult engineering structure: it must be resistant to wind and snow loads, as well as convenient to move people and building materials.

The main stages of the installation of the roof

1) Preparation of the foundation

Start the roofing device from the preparation of the base. As a base under flexible tile, material with solid smooth surfaceTo which it is possible to fit the nails. As a base, OSB, moisture resistant plywood or tipped, edged board can be used. Material moisture for the base should not exceed 20% of dry weight. The joints of the boards need to be located at the places of support, and the length of the boards should be at least two spans between the supports. It is necessary to take into account the expansion of the boards caused by the oscillation of moisture and temperature, leaving the sufficient gap between the boards.

The thickness of the board and plywood at different times of the step of the rafter (determined by the project calculation) snow load 1.8 kN / m.kv., Point load 1.0 kn

2) ventilation gap device

The air clearance must be quite large (at least 50 mm), the exhaust hole is placed as high as possible, and the holes for air flow, respectively, at the bottom of the roof.

Fig. 2.

Ventilation is necessary for:

• humidity removal from insulation, crates and roofing material

• reducing ice formation and icicles on the roof in winter time

• reducing the temperature inside the construction of the roof in the summer.

  Remember, correctly performed ventilation is a pledge of a long service life of the roof!

3) Installation of the lining layer

As a strengthening lining layer under flexible tile use roofing material Ruflex K-EL 60/2200 or Rolled Roofing insulating material Rufleks across the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof. The lining layer is mounted towards the bottom-up direction parallel to the cornese sink of the roof with an allen at least 10 cm, the edges are fixed with nails with an interval of 20 cm, the seams are sealed with K-36 glue (Fig. 3).

Fig. 3.

With the bias of the roof of more than 1: 3 (18 degrees), it is possible to lay the lining material only on the rods of the roof, in the endand, on the eaves and in the end parts of the roof, in places of penetration through the roof (around chimney pipe, in places, roof adjoins vertical Walls, around mansard windows) (Fig. 4).

Fig. four

Note: Depending on the fastening method drainage system It may be necessary to install brackets for laying a lining layer.

4) Mounting metal eaves

To protect the edge of the root on the cornesses from rain moisture over the lining carpet, mount metal cornisic strips (drippers) with an adhesive min 2 cm. They nail them with zigzago-like roofing nails with 100 mm increments (Fig. 5).

Fig. five

5) Installation of metal frontal planks

To protect the edge of the root on the end parts of the roof, the frontal plates with the adhesive min 2 cm are mounted. They nail them with zigzago-like roofing nails with a 100 mm increment (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6.

6) Installation of angle carpet

To increase waterproofing in undershones over the lining layer, the Ruflex Super Pintari is stacked, corresponding to the color of roofing tiles. The edges are fixed with roofing nails with an interval of 100 mm (Fig. 7).

Fig. 7.

7) Installation of the cornese tile

Next, mount the self-adhesive cornese tile along the cornese swell, pre-removing the protective film from its bottom surface. Funny tile laid the joint into the joint, retreating up from the place of the inflection of the cornice plank 10-20 mm. They nourish the cornice tile near the perforation places with the subsequent overlap of the fasteners of the fastener with the ordinary tiles (Fig. 8).

Fig. eight

8.1) Installation of the ordinary tile

In order to avoid color deviations, use roofing tiles in the passage of 4-5 packages. The laying of the ordinary tiles should be started from the center of the eaves in the direction of the end parts of the roof (Fig. 9).

Fig. nine

Fig. 10

Glue the tile, after removing the protective film from its lower part (Fig. 10), (after that, individual tiles can not be added with a stack on each other) and reconnect four nails each slightly above the lines of the tile groove (20-30 mm). If the bias of the roof is more than 1: 1 (45 degrees), each tile must be attached to six nails (see Table 1).

Table 1. The flow of roofing nails.

The first row of the tiles to pride so that its lower edge is not higher than 1 cm from the lower edge of the cornese tile (Fig. 11), and the "petals" closed the joints of the eaves of the cornice tiles.

Fig. eleven

Follow the next rows so that the ends of the "petals" of the tiles were at one level or higher with the cuts of the tiles of the previous row.

On the end parts of the roofing the tile cut along the edge and proof by glue K-36 on a width of at least 10 cm (Fig. 12).

Fig. 12

In the endows, cut the tile in such a way that the Ruflex Super Pintari Ruflex Super Pintari band remains at the bottom of the end, about 15 cm wide (Fig. 13).

Fig. 13

Clean the edges of the tiles along the cut line on the width of at least 10 cm glue K-36. When cutting, put under the tiled Phane, so as not to damage the bottom layer of the roofing carpet.

8.2) Installation of tiles like "Rocky"

Stacking of the ordinary tiles should be started from the center of the cornice sweep in the direction of the end parts of the roof and the skate. Put the first row so that the "petals" of the ordinary tiles closed the place of the joint and the perforation line of the cornice tiles. Lay the next row with such a calculation so that the location of the lower shit place is located in the center of the petal of the mid-size of the mounted trimming (Fig. 14). Each row of tiles to navigate four nails to the base just above the groove of the tile (20-30 mm) in the middle so that the nails caps are closed by the "petals" of the next ordinary tile.

Fig. fourteen

Note: Do not forget to shoot a protective film with a shingle.

9) Installation of the Konkown Tiles

The skating tile (0.25 x 0.33 m) is obtained by dividing the cornese tiles into 3 parts at perforation places. Mock the skate tile on the roof of the roof with a short side parallel to the skate, pre-removing the film. Subscribe to four nails (2 on each side) so that the nails are under the next 5 cm superimposed (Fig. 15).

Fig. fifteen

10) Installation of roofing adjoins

Passages through the roof of a small diameter (antenna, etc.) are performed using rubber seals. Smoke and other pipes exposed to heating must be isolated. When installing flexible tiles near flue pipes (Fig. 16) or other peaks along the perimeter of the pipe connection with the roof, adjust the triangular rail 50 * 50 mm. Next, around the chimney, mount the lining carpet Ruflex K-EL 60/2200 or RUFLEX, flush to the K-36 glue. Then roofing the tiles make it on the vertical surface and glue K-36 glue. By perimeter, the pipe is covered by the Super Pintari band using a solid layer of K-36 glue in such a way that the pipe close the strip from at least 30 cm, and on the skate - at least 20 cm. Close the adjoining metal apron (adjoining bar), which is fixed by mechanical way, and take the seams with silicone sealant resistant to atmospheric influences. The adjoining to the vertical walls is performed in the same way (Fig. 17).

Fig. sixteen

Fig. 17.

The use of sealing glue K-36

For sealing the following nodes: Fallows of the lining carpet; Outlists of the ordinary tiles on the end carpet, places of adjoints, the penetration of carpet ventilation systems are used by KatePal "K-36" glue. Glue consumption is indicated in Table 2

Table 2. Glue consumption "K-36"

The technology of the soft tile roofing device in recent years is more and more people in rustic and country construction.

And it is not surprising, because this material has many advantages.

Its installation is easy and simple, you can also choose any color and design.

In addition, such a tile is very elastic, so it can be easily put on a cake with bends and various complex details.

The appearance of the roof of soft tiles solid and noble. Therefore, every owner of the cottage or country house wants to cover its roof by this material.

The technology of the soft tiles roof technology is not very complex, so if you do not have the opportunity to hire professionals, then you can do all the work with your own hands,

It is only important to make the calculation of materials. In order to fulfill the calculation, you need to know which minimum bias of your roof, where ventilation will be, as well as all important nodes.

After that you need to make a calculation essential materials. If you do everything right, including the calculation, then as a result, you will have a high-quality and reliable design.

The soft roof is a kind of pie, which consists of several layers: glass cholester, a layer of basalt or mineral crumb, a bitumen-polymer layer.

It has a little weight and this cake is very easy to install with your own hands.

Advantages of soft tiles:

• Low price relative to other roofing materials;
• Installation is almost freaking;
• Does not absorb moisture;
• Resistant to ultraviolet, corrosion and chemical influences. Resists rust, rotting, mold, fungi, insects, pests;
• Has high heat and sound insulation properties;
• Resistant to temperature difference;
• Very easy and does not require increased frame for mounting;
• Transportation of the material is very convenient, as the tile is very compact.

Roofing Pie for Soft Roofing

Roofing pie for a bitumen tile device there are two types: roofing pie For a cold roof and a cake for a warmed roof.

Pie for warm roof consists of insulation and other important materials. Depending on which you chose the insulation in your cake, it will differ and its components.

To know how much material needs to be purchased for a roof device with your own hands, you should make an accurate calculation.

By making the calculation, you should consider what materials you need, what a bias of the roof, where and how ventilation will be arranged.

The calculation should also include all nodes that will be on your roof.

Terms of laying

The technology of the soft roof device with their own hands has its own characteristics.

The minimum slope at which you can lay soft tile - 12º. If the minimum bias is 12 - 18º, a special lining carpet is put under the tile.

Such a thing as maximum slope For a soft roof no, it can be attached to even the walls of the walls adjacent to the roof.

The soft tile will last long and high quality, provided if it is put on a properly prepared foundation.

As the basis, you can apply boards, faeer or Osb slab. These materials should be treated with a means that protects the fungus from burning and formation.

The base should be very smooth, clean, dry and tough. Therefore, as the basis, it is still possible to apply the OSB plate.

The basis is placed on rafters and the crate, and the heat insulation is stacked between them, which is lowered by a parobararier.

Under the soft tile, you can lay glazing or rubberoid, so waterproofing will be even more efficient.

The video below shows the installation of bitumen tiles.

Ventilation is also very important for the proper installation of soft tiles with their own hands.

If the ventilation is not done, then the moisture will start to accumulate under the tiles, and the wood will deteriorate and catch it.

So, even despite the good condition of the tile itself, the roof will not be strong enough if the ventilation does not perform its task.

Therefore, under the base of bituminous tiles, a ventilation channel should be laid.

The air clearance needs to be done big. The hood is placed in the highest possible place, and the holes for air inflows are in the lowest place.

Ventilation will save the root from the formation of ice in frost, and also reduce the temperature in the house in the heat.

To lay the lining carpet also has its own technology.

If the inclination of the roof is more than 18º, the lining should be laid along the eaves, if the bias of the cornice is less, the lining is laid across the skate.

Fast lining should be no less than 100 mm. The place of the joint of two layers should be sealed with bitumen mastic.

If the roof is less than 1: 3, then the lining layer is put on the entire roof area.

Getting Started

If you want to make a roof with your own hands, then you need to know the technology of laying soft tiles.

When the base is already prepared, the tiles are placed on top. You need to start work from the middle of the lower edge. First, on the edge of the skate, straight tile is applied.

And then they begin to rise up, laying on top of the figure tile and retreating from the edge of the cornice 20 - 30 mm.

Along the edge of the cornice, it is cut and lined with bitumen glue. Each tile should also be knit from four nails, and if the roof has a bias of 1: 1, then each tile must be attached to six nails.

Before the start of laying, the film from the wrong side is removed from it. After that, it is nailed with nails, which should tightly press it to the base, but not push into the inside.

Each next row should cover the nails of the underlying row. Fix the soft roof and joints with heat.

The bitumen base melts and tiles are connected to each other. In sunny weather, this is due to the solar heat, and in the cold - with the help of a construction dryer.

However, it is not necessary to labeled the tile at the air temperature below 5º, in cold weather, the tile sheets become very fragile, so it is unlikely that it is hard to make the stacking quality.

Where the tile touches the walls of the structure, you should fill the metal rail to which the tile is placed, and we put on top rolled material. To the wall glue her mastic.

Each next row should be fixed so that tiles tiles are at the same level as in the previous row.

If you planned the roof with a water-feling system, then at the bottom of the roof you need to hind the brackets for the gutter.

On the cornese swells and on the ends of the roof, put the cornese sheets of steel, whip 2 cm.

Sleash them should be roofing nails.

After that, remove the film from self-adhesive cornese tiles and attach them to the edge of the roof.

After that, adjust it with nails 3 - 5 cm from the edge.

Installation of roofing and skate

Preliminary calculation of materials should also include materials for the arrangement of various roofing.

Mounting technology of small holes from antennas and ventilations, as well as other nodes involves the use of rubber seals.

On the video presented below shows the installation of flexible tile.

Pipes, mostly heated during the work, so they should be insolerated.

In the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof connection and the holes of the pipe, approach the triangular rack around the hole. Tile must be glued to the vertical surface.

Practicality, functionality, durability - all these advantages of soft tiles are beneficial to allocate it among other roofing coatings.

What features this material has, how to prepare the basis for it and for what technology is to be installed - you can find out below.

First of all, consider the pros and cons of flexible tile.

Soft tile has many advantages:

• Aesthetic appearance. The soft roof line is distinguished by the variety of colors and forms, which allows the roof in any style. In our country, a brand is very popular, with which you can create rectangular, oval, hexagon and many other geometric shapes of the roofs.
• Resistance to mechanical damage, pollution, water, mold and temperature drops. The working temperature range is from -45 to 110 0 C, which is great for Russian frosts.
• Durability. When, operation and periodic maintenance of the roof of soft tiles will serve over 50 years.
• . When breakdown, any element of the design is easy to replace without shifting a number of a number. In this case, the surface of the tile does not fade and does not peel over time, which removes the need for regular tint.
• Simple installation.Possessing the appropriate skills and instruments, the installation of a soft roof will not take much time. And this is not to mention a minimum of waste during the process.

Unfortunately, the coating is not deprived some flaws:

• Strict requirements for conditions and temperatures when installing. You can lay the tile at temperatures from + 5-10 C. The same applies to climatic conditions: it is strictly forbidden to lay the tile in the rain or when high humiditySince the base of the material starts to be rotated.
• Horregiouswhich is not particularly feasible thanks to the coating service life.
• Mounting complexity. The soft roof needs enhanced beams and walls for mounting. Therefore, specialized companies enjoy generally accepted framework technology.

Positive qualities tile

Composition and specifications

The tile is produced in the form of individual plates that have width in the range of 0.3 - 0.45 m, thickness 3 - 5 mm and length up to 1 m. Composition of soft tiles:

• facial part: ceramic granulate from basalt or mineral wool;
• multilayer design from bitumen and base material - non-woven type polyester or fiberglass;
• rear end: Bituminous layer of self-adhesive type protected by polyethylene film. Before mounting, the film is removed.

The main material from which the tile is made and the insulating carpet under it is a nonwoven polyester, glassball with bitumen impregnation. The first is highly distinguished by great tensile strength, due to which it is used in zones where the maximum load is accounted for among the entire structure - these are skates, funds and other places of adjoining.

Flexible Tile Build - Photo

The glass coating is cheaper than polyester models, and therefore applies as the main coating and in places without requirements for increased strength. More than those. Characteristics.

According to statistics, more than 30% of heat leaves exactly through the roofThat makes it responsibly approach the selection of insulation.

Preparation as a guarantor of durability: roofing pie under flexible tile

Before installing soft tiles, you need to hold a number preparatory work For:

• provide;
• mount;
• apply waterproofing (this stage can be combined with vapor barrier);
• create a system.

After that, you can move directly to laying bitumen tiles.

NOTE!

When the roofing cake is arranged, it is necessary to strictly observe the sequence described above. However, the stage of thermal insulation can be skipped if it is planned by the attic S. cold roof By limiting the installation of the waterproofing layer.

Roofing pie

Flexible tile - preparation of the crate

The doomer acts as strengthening design and provides ventilation roof. When installing, first put the bars of the counterclaim, and they are the main part of the crate. It is formed that the gaps are included in system of ventilation rodswhich provides air circulation, condensate removal and minimizes rafted rotting.

For flexible tile use solid plywood crate, oriented chipboard and other smooth materials without junctions. Before installing, it is recommended to make sure that plate moisture is less than 20%.

The plates themselves are installed "in the disintegration" with the gap no more than 2-3 mm. When choosing a step, rafters and crates are repelled against the possible load that the roof will be tested. It depends on climatic conditions, atmospheric precipitation, temperature, wind and general construction of the building.

The soft tile is suitable for both the arrangements of the roofs of private houses and cottages and country baths and other structures.

Soft tiles

Insulation

If you need a warmed room or attic, a heater is used for flexible tile. Recommended by basalt or glass gambled specialists. They simply mount them, and they are suitable even for styling in hard-to-reach places. At the same time they do not form cold bridges And they are well protected from temperature drops.

CAUTION!

Minimum material thickness - 150 mm, and for regions with strong frosts - 200 mm and more.

Laying and installation coverage

For a canopy roof, you must use that will perform functions and. For roofs with steep slopes that the angle of inclination is more than 20 0 you can not fully lay a layer. It will be enough to do with the insulation on the skate, the heads on the ends and the cornese skes.

The most important stage of work during installation is the installation of the cornese tile and the first row. It is necessary to strictly follow a clear direction over the entire row and observe equivalent distances. The tile is attached using special holes that make in the factory.

Fully installation takes seven stages:

1. A special carpet in zones is placed on covering the crates where the design is experiencing the maximum load. These are the ends of the roof, endanda, swelling and places of adjoining. The carpet is sprinkled over the base along the eaves, the resulting seams are sealed and sample. After gluing, the edges remain that fixed every 20 cm. When laying in endowes, it is necessary to leave a carpet at a distance of 7 cm, and then linted the resulting edges with a width of at least 10 cm after trimming. In order to avoid damage to the carpet during the trimming of the tile, it is recommended to put a thin plate or a piece of plywood under the tile.
2. Installation of eaves and frontal metal slats. This will protect the design from rotting and moisture, more durable to fix the carpet along the eaves and frontal joints. Plank of the carnisic type is fixed with nails, which are located in a checkerboard in 10 cm increments. Also, on the cornice, it is necessary to equip a 2-cm beaten with a thickness of 2 cm. According to the same principle, the frontal strips are subsequently mounted.
3. Arrangement of Endov. An important stage of work, since in these zones, the roof of soft tiles is especially fuel to destruction from moisture. For sealing in the end, the carpet is stacked, and its edges are attached nails. Step between nails - 10 cm. To ensure waterproof, a waterproofing carpet is used, which is installed in 10 cm increments. The color of the carpet should be selected under the appearance of the tiles.
4. Floor Tile: Installation on Outs.This element is attached over metal protection, eaves and carpet. Shots remove the protective film, then put the tile to the eternity and nourishes in the plugs. The next stage is the laying of ordinary tiles, the sheets of which will block the places in which the cornice is attached.
5. With the help of our online calculator.
6. Installing ordinary tile.Stacked over the cornisal series. This type of tile has curly cuts that form a roof pattern and special notes for accurate tiles docking. Stamp from the center of the skate, moving towards the ends. For even installation it is recommended to make horizontal marking using chalk. It will especially help in cases where the roof has places with impaired geometry. All tiles are nailed with nails in a step of 2-3 cm, four nails will be needed on one tiling. If the bias is 45 0 or more, then you will need six fasteners. Subsequent rows of tiles are stacked so that the lower edge of the petals is on the same level with the tiles of the previous row.
7. Installing tiles on skating. For laying in skates it is necessary to separate special sheets of tiles (they are of size 0.25-0.33 m) and perforation lines. After separation of sheets, fragments of the tiles are placed, and then navigate them with two nails with each side. Each row of shingles must overlap the previous with the allen in 2-5 cm. Along the skate, trim the tile is necessary in such a way that the waterproofing layer is open to 7.5 on both sides. As for the roof in the site of trimming, it must be treated with glue at least 10 cm and glue.
8. Installing tiles on endowes. In places where the roof from the flexible tile adjoins the vertical surfaces, they set the triangular lumber from the tree. This will reduce the risk of roofing in the collapse. At the same time, the ordinary tile along with the lining carpet must come to it. The next step - laying of rto carpet 30 cm high above the vertical surface and roofing slope. Its edges are missing with adhesive composition, and its upper edge - sealant on silicone base. After that, everything is closed with a metal plate.

With a slope, the angle from 30 0 uses roofing strips and metal. They are installed in places of adjoining, end (wind strips) and cornice (drip bar).

A soft tile is a durable and stylish roof that will allow for many years to take care of the roof of the building. It remains only to competently prepare the design and hold stacking.

Soft tile can be called a new generation material, which are used for the roofing device. The main functions of this coating are the protection of the roof from the penetration of moisture and the maximum conservation of heat. However, it is impossible not to say about the aesthetic side, the roof of soft tiles makes a more attractive roof of any configuration. Many call this material with bituminous or flexible tiles, in general, the coating is called a soft or trim roof.

Production technology

The basis of the production of soft tiles is the newest technology, due to which the output is a material with a unique multilayer structure, high operational characteristics and the possibility of installation in any climatic conditions.

Structure and composition of soft tiles

As a basis for the production of flexible tiles, a glass cholester is used, pre-impregnated with bitumen with water-repellent properties. Bitumen is a product of oil refining, which has a big impact on the formation of the cost of the finished material.

The main properties of flexible tiles are determined by the quality of the used raw materials. From high quality glass powder durable material With high resistance to ruptures and mechanical damage.

Fibers consisting of quartz sand, lime, clay and soda are used to produce glass cholest. Such components allow to obtain a substance that meets environmental standards, resistant to burning and temperature differences. The resulting material is rolled into rolls, which are sent to the next stage of roofing production. Also, the insulating coating can be made of wood chips or recycled cardboard.

Initially, the rolls of the finished canvase come to the petolesman, where the reserve is created in case of emergency stops to ensure uninterrupted material supply.

The first stage of production assumes the impregnation of the base of the molten modified bitumen, for this, the foundation is sent to a special apparatus, which is called the saturator.

The plasticity and elasticity of the material at any temperature is achieved by entering special polymer substances - modifiers. These additives have a property to hold moisture, so the finished material is characterized by moisture and resistance to melting from high temperature, cracking and the absence of unpleasant odor. To increase the flexibility of finished products, an additional layer of thick bitumen is applied with an admixture of lime.

Mineral granules, shale or basalt crumb, the lower part are protected by a polyethylene film to the surface of a slight bitumen. Adding minerals with various shades allows you to get products with exclusive external speciesprotected from ultraviolet. Such a coating operates perfectly for several decades. When adding copper in the coloring composition prevents the spread of moss and lichen.

The protection of the lower part of the polyethylene does not allow the gluing of finished products in packs, the same result is obtained during the sprinkling of the surfaces with ground limestone. The next stage of production is the cooling of the material, for this purpose, the layers are sent to the cooled drum with cold water. Then the bitumen strips are applied to the lower part of the web, which, when heated by solar rays, melted and glue the strips with each other. As a result, a solid single surface is formed.

Cut the cloth into parts of a certain size at the final stage of production, the focus is on the cutting of the lower edge. In this part, the tile can be performed in the form of an oval, rectangle, triangle, waves and the other. Tile flexible tile most often has standard dimensions: Length 1 meter, height 0.33 meters.

From the production conveyor, the finished material is delivered to the packing shop, here the tiles are packaged in boxes of 10-25 units. On average one box is enough to cover the roof area up to 3 m 2.

The roofing device from the flexible tile based on high quality glass cholester ensures reliable protection for several tens of years. At the same time, cheap analogues require repairs in 5-7 years, so in most cases are used as temporary roofing.

Device roofing from flexible tile

High-quality tile is not the only condition for the construction of a reliable and durable roof. Of great importance is the roofing pie, compiled in accordance with certain rules. Only with the complex selection of elements each layer will perform its function, and together they will create a strong reliable roof.

According to experts, the composition of the roof of soft tiles should look like this:

• Inner casing of the attic floor.
• Frame, creating a clearance for free air circulation.
• Vapor insulation material.
• Stropile frame.
• Controller for the heat insulating layer.
• Heat insulation.
• The membrane protecting the insulation from moisture.
• Additional rails to create a ventilation gap.
• Rolled doomlet from bars.
• Solid doom.
• Waterproofing material or special lining.
• Flexible tile.

It is very important to include in the process. roofing work Processing of wooden roof elements with antiseptics and antipirens.

Sequence of work - laying scheme

A certain order of installation works contributes to the creation of a reliable roof of flexible tile, so it is recommended to adhere to the following soft tiles laying scheme:

• After installing the rafter frame on its inner side, the vapor insulation material is placed. It helps protect the design from climbing up vapors. When installing vaporizolation, it is impossible to form the formation of gaps and sagging, the locations of the bands must be sampled by two-sided scotch. The fixation of the vocabulary layer can be carried out by special planets, which can be used to fasten the inner casing of the attic floor.
• Next, there is a counterclaim that will be supported between the revolving rafalines. heat insulation material. After their installation, they go to laying insulation, which is most often used mineral wool. The thermal insulation is mounted in two layers, while the second layer must necessarily overlap the seams of the first row. The same rule is observed when insulating with a large number of layers.
• On top of the insulation, laying the windproof film or a special membrane, which has the property of passing air, but it prevents the penetration of moisture to the lower layers of the design. Installation of flexible tile involves the use of a solid crate of sufficiently lightweight materials, such as moisture-proof plywood or a fitting stove. Installation of elements In this case requires the mandatory presence of gaps between the plates up to 5 mm. This will not allow the deformation of the elements of the crate when increasing the level of humidity.
• Installation work is recommended to perform only dry weather at a temperature not lower than + 5 degrees. Before direct laying of roofing on the crate, a special lining is fixed. In this case, first of all, the lower part of the roof is covered, and then climb up. The canvas laid the mustache, missing the joints with bitumen mastic. Next, the eaves and end planks are mounted, and then start the installation of flexible tiles.
• Installation work on laying elements of soft roofs can be performed in different ways, it depends on the shape of the tiles used. For each view, the manufacturer includes a detailed instruction that is embedded in the package. Installation of tiles is performed in strict accordance with the instructions.
• To create a color balance on the roof of the flexible tile, you need to mix the tiles from all purchased boxes. The laying of the first row should be performed on top of the cornisic plank, so you should use a special skate-carnice tile or cut off the curly part of several slats. Installation should be started in the center of the skate.
• The laying of the second row also begins in the center, but in relation to the previous elements there should be a displacement to the half-petal in any side. Performing fixation, it is important that the lower edge of the stacked row and the cutout of the previous tiles coincided. Special roofing nails with large round hats are used for fastening elements of the soft roof.
• Especially carefully, the installation of tiles in places of adjacent to the pipe, ventilation exit, skate and attic windows. Failure to comply with the elementary rules of laying in this case causes the formation of leaks.
• In the process of mounting the tiles, laid on each other, under their own weight gluits in single cloth, reliably protecting the structure from unpleasant weather surprises.
• By purchasing roofing material, you should think about a small reserve. The fact is that the roof of a complex shape involves the presence of funds, fractures and various decorative elements, in these places requires trimming and adjusting elements. As a result, up to 5% of waste is formed. By the way on the roof with smooth slopes, waste is practically not left.

Advantages of soft tile

Flexible tile possesses several significant advantages over other roofing materials:

• The ability to largely reduce the noise level.
• The possibility of operation under all weather conditions.
• Resistance to moisture penetration due to low surface porosity.
• Easy installation without the use of special tools.
• Economical consumption.
• Minor weight that does not require reinforced base for laying.
• Durability.
• Resistance to the formation of corrosion foci and rot.
• Creating a hermetic surface.
• Impeccable operation at high and low air temperature.
• Resistance to ignition and the ability to restrain the open fire for some time.
• Low price.
• Big choice Colors, shapes and sizes.
• The possibility of mounting on the roofs of any form.

Operation of soft roof

The flexible tile on the roof can be flawlessly operated for a long time and reliably protect the structure from precipitation, wind and temperature differences only subject to several rules for covering this type.

Rule number 1. Planned checks.

The surface of the soft roof requires a regular check, which is best done at the beginning of the autumn season and in the late spring. It is important to choose a cloudy day, but without rain, or conduct a revision in the early morning before the bituminous surface will start melting and soften under the influence of sunlight. At this time, it is not recommended to walk on the roof or expose it to mechanical effects. It is worth noting that winter time is also unfavorable for control checks, since at this time the roof is covered with a layer of snow.

Before the start of the inspection, the roof is cleaned from branches, leaves, grass and other garbage, using a broom or a mild pan. It is not recommended to clean the surface with a metal shovel or sharp objects. In the process of cleaning special attention, additional structures on the roof are deserve, such as smoke and drainage pipes, gutter and jungle soft tiles, as well as other structural elements.

Purified roof inspect and detect damage. The most careful inspections are subject to joints and sections adjacent to pipes and a skate.

When distinguished locations, it is necessary to immediately start the resuscitation of this site. Shallow damage is re-cleaned and sealed using any bituminous mastic. For this, the material is melted to a liquid or semi-liquid state and fill it a damaged area.

On the little plot You can independently cope with the repair. For this, the surface is cleaned and removed a layer of mineral coating, this place is set to a similar bar with the condition that it will block the damaged place for 10 cm from all sides. A gas can with a special burner heats the coating, without allowing its melting. It is allowed to fix the element with small carnations with a wide hat or a dowel-nail with a washer.

Damage large Square Requires the replacement of complete removal of sheets, which can cause certain difficulties. The fact is that when installing, made in full compliance with the technology of the roof of the roof of the flexible tile, a single canvas is formed, which makes it difficult to remove any part of the coating. In this case, it is recommended to seek help from professional roofers.

If the formation of bubbles, shower of granulate, premature aging or bitumen increments, is observed on the roof of the bitumen tile, then this indicates violations of the installation rules. Laying the flexible tile in full compliance with the instructions from the manufacturer allows the roof that will be a reliable protection of the structure during the warranty period and after its completion, provided that the roof is properly operating.

Rule number 2. Care in winter time.

In winter, a lot of snow and sleep can be accumulated on the roof of the flexible tile, which have an additional load on the roofing material and the whole stropile carcass. At the same time, a small snow hat does not represent a serious danger, therefore, in this case, it disappears the need to remove the snow from the roof.

The snowy mass of significant thickness will certainly be considered with the help of a wooden or plastic shovel. Moreover, it is recommended to leave on the roof of the snow layer to 15 cm. In this case, the risk of damage to the bituminous tile becomes minimal. In the process of cleaning snow with a soft roof, it is dropped immediately to the ground, and not on the roof areas located below.
