Recommendations: how to block the roof of the house

Accounting for the basic functions of the roof: how to overlap based on the roofing tasks?

The decision to block the roof itself must correspond to the knowledge of the main functions of the roof. They are as follows:

1. Protective function. The roof is designed to shelter the dwelling from external manifestations of nature( precipitation, strong wind, temperature changes)
2. Heat and sound insulation function. In addition to the walls, the roof provides soundproofing of the house and ensures the safety of its heat. Overlapping the roof, it is necessary to lay a layer of thermal insulation, providing comfort and comfort to the interior space of the rooms.
3. Aesthetic function. Specialists in the construction sector have developed a perfect roof design, offering a wide variety of shapes, styles and accessories to the roof. The exterior of multi-pitched roofs is striking with its complex designs.

Components of the roofing system: how to cover, taking into account all the components of the

The components of the roofing system are usually called a roofing pie.

Its components are as follows:

1. Base - crate. It performs one of the main functions, is the skeleton for the subsequent roofing. It determines the type of coating material. The cladding is put solid or sparse. Its structural component is a bar, a wooden board, tes, a waterproof plywood. You can make the lining yourself. To do this, follow the rules:
   • Two wooden boards are attached to the ridge element( tightly);
   • Fastening of boards occurs by nails, their parameters - several times more than thickness of a bar;
   • The length of the crate includes bevels, they are necessary to protect the walls and the structure of the foundation of the house.

   

2. Thermal insulation layer. They put it on the crate. The main task - to keep the heat at home, do not let the cold air blow out into the room. Choosing the material of thermal insulation, it is worth paying attention to its sensitivity to temperature changes, resistance to moisture and the ability to give off an unpleasant odor. The gap between the heat-insulating layer and the lathing should be 5 centimeters. The overlap of the layer of insulation can have a value of 5-7 centimeters. Careful attention to the corners of the crate.

   

3. Interlayer of vapor barrier. It is used in the arrangement of the attic, attic space. As a vapor barrier use isospan, yutafan. Often a layer is put in ordinary residential premises, adding moisture resistance to the roof. The overlap of the vapor barrier is from 5 centimeters.

   

4. Roofing material. Used as a protective element and as a detail of the exterior. The main qualities of the coating are strength, reliability, high density, aesthetics. Popular materials are profiled, metal, slate.

   

The components of the roofing system, their installation depends on the method of overlapping the roof, the climate of the terrain. Before the beginning of the roof it is worth considering all the nuances. If necessary, increase the number of layers. Important is the ventilation structure, which can eliminate dampness in the under-roof space.

List of building materials for roof covering

First of all, the roofing has a protective function. His choice should be based on reliability and strength. It is important to buy the material convenient in the mount, then it can be laid on the roof surface without the help of a specialist. There is a huge variety of means for roof blocking by one's own hands. Their main difference is in the cost and color scheme.

Consider some types of material for roof overlap:

1. Metal tiles. Has not particularly overestimated cost. It is made of steel with a galvanized surface and a layer of polymer. The form of production is sheets. Used for simple roof construction. Easy to use. With its help you can cover the roof yourself. The main disadvantages - it does not have sound insulation, but it has the property of rusting.
2. Profiled sheeting. The cheapest when buying. It is produced with a polymer and galvanized coating. The form is a sheet. Has similar disadvantages with metal.
3. Ondulin. The second name is bitumen covering. Form - sheet plates. Produced from recycled and compressed cellulose, treated with bituminous solution. Its density and stability is enhanced by the addition of resins and mineral constituents on the surface. Easy to handle. Has good soundproofness. It is sensitive to low temperatures.
4. Tiles based on bitumen. Has an overestimated cost. The structure of the shingles is based on fiberglass with the addition of bitumen mortar and a layer of fine stone applied to the surface. Used for the installation of complex roof structures. It protects the house from noise. Disadvantages - the tendency to lose the color of the shingles, the expensive cost, energy costs and the long term roof overlap.
5. Ceramic tiles. It is made of high-quality and durable clay. The top layer consists of a glazed coating. Along with bitumen tiles has an overpriced pricing policy. Its advantages - long-term operation, noise insulation, quality, high strength. Experts say that ceramic tiles have a lot of weight, making it harder for the roof to overlap.

Note: when choosing a construction coating, it is worth considering the ease of material and ease of installation. Roofing with easy-to-use material will save time and, in case of repair, will allow you to cover the damaged area yourself.

List of construction tools

You can close the roof using a number of tools:

• Standard and figured hammers;
• Breakout hammer;
• Hacksaw;
• Angle measuring tools, punch, compass, micrometer;
• Drilling device;
• Special knife used for cutting roofing( insulation layer, vapor barrier, metal and other materials).

Depending on the preference and type of roof, the roof material is selected. Stopping the choice on metal shingles, it is important to prepare the following list of tools:

1. Clamp-shaped clamps of different configurations for giving the metal sheets the required fold
2. Construction scissors with sharp blades
3. Breaker hammer
4. Files for finishing the cut-off points
5. Vice
6. Anvil

It is important to note:very laborious and dangerous. It is necessary to comply with all safety rules. It is important to follow GOSTs and construction standards. If necessary, you can consult with a specialist.
