Tip 1: How to make a soft roof



Soft roofing materials have twoThe main advantages - a low price and the ability to cover any complex surface. And this, of course, apart from the fact that they perform their basic function qualitatively - reliable protection of buildings against atmospheric precipitation.





How to make a soft roof


















You will need




  • - bituminous shingles;
  • - construction tools (ax, saw, hammer, etc.);
  • - OSB plates;
  • - fasteners (usual and roofing nails);
  • - glue for flexible tiles;
  • - lining roll material;
  • - metal cornice and pediment profiles.




Instructions





1


Lay the foundation (crocheted) on the rafters under the soft roofing. As a material for it, useCutting board, plywood or OSB boards. The base must be solid and even. Its thickness at the step of rafters of 600 mm should be not less than 20 mm for the board and 12 mm for the plywood. When the step is increased, the rafters must accordingly increase and the thickness of the crochet.





2


Constructions passing through roofing (chimneys, ventilation pipes) in places of exiton doffers round the perimeter with a wooden strip of triangular cross-section - to ensure a smooth transition of surfaces and the possibility of fastening to it with nails of roofing materials.





3


Lay the liner underlayment on the basematerial (ruberoid, "Ruflex", etc.). The material is covered with horizontal stripes starting from the bottom edge of the roof, overlapping the upper layer of the lower one by at least 10 cm. Fix the edges along the edges with roofing nails with an interval of 20 cm. Joint the bands with a bituminous resin.





4


On the bottom and side edges of the roof,Cornice and pediment metal profiles (droppers) - to protect the edges of the roof from moisture. The joints of adjacent laths should overlap each other by 20 mm. Mounting is carried out with roofing nails, hammering them into slats in a zigzag pattern with a pitch of 100 mm.





5


Over lining and metalProfiles lay the cornice roof tiles (on the edges of the roof) and the shallow carpet (on the valleys). Before laying the first, remove the film from its underside. The edge of the tile sheet should be removed from the edge of the metal strip by 10-20 mm, the adjacent sheets are connected with each other by butt. Bonded carpet glue for shingles and additionally beaten on the edges of the roofing nails.





6


Laying ordinary tiles start from the bottom of the roofThe central line of the slope. Before laying, remove the protective film. The lower edge of the petals should be 10 mm from the edge of the cornice tile, the petals should overlap all joints of the latter.





7


Each sheet of shingles is beaten with four to sixRoofing nails, placing them 20-30 mm above the edge of the groove. The next row of shingles should be laid in such a way that the edge of its projections is aligned with the edge of the depressions of the underlying row. A detailed scheme of laying out is set out in the instructions for the roof tiles.





8


On the front (gable) edges of the roof cutTiles along a line that coincides with the edge of the metal profile. Glue its edges with glue for shingles. In the valley cut the tile in such a way that the fifteen centimeter strip of the endov carpet remains open. The edges of the shingles along the valley for 10 cm should be glued with glue and pressed firmly to the carpet lying beneath it.





9


Divide each sheet of ridge tiles into threeParts (in places of perforation) and lay them short side along the ridge with overlapping edges of each other 5 cm. Before laying, do not forget to remove the protective film. Nail each sheet of ridge shingles with 4 nails (two on each side of the ramp). The hats of the nails should be overlapped by the edge of the overlying sheet.





10


Spread the vertical surfaces of the chimneys and pipes with bituminous mastic and glue them on the lining material - in the form of a protective apron, dropping on roofing. Its flowing to roofing edge glued with glue for roof tiles, attach the top to the pipes with a metal clamp, sealing its joint around the pipes with bitumen mastic or sealant.




























Tip 2: How to repair a soft roof

2


Pay attention to the glass-glass, whichis a roll-guided roofing material on a bitumen-polymer base. It is characterized by increased elasticity and thermal insulation. Glass-fiber is also suitable for a very complex repair of soft roof, it is laid with a gas burner. Its flame is sent directly to the material. The polymer base and the bottom layer of bitumen are melted, which ensures a uniform and hermetic coating.





3


Do not ignore and unifleks, tehnoelast and a lynx. Repair the soft roofing with the help of one of these materials, and the period of its operation can increase to ten years.
