Almost every layman is aware that the roof is a very important part of the modern cottage, which protects the house from the negative influence of the constituent external environment, bringing convenience and guaranteeing coziness to a country house. In general, winter roofing work when building a cottage is the main value, since they provide optimal functioning of the roof during the entire time of the functioning of the structure. Let’s determine what the roofing is?
Almost every roofing system is an important multilayer design, each layer is placed in a precisely installed sequence to guarantee an excellent energy -saving action. Such a construction of a roofing system is due to the fact that each layer has a personal role, assigned only to it. One – protects the building from external moisture, the other does not pass the cold wind inside, while the upper serves as aesthetic requirements, and all of them are connected with each other, improving and increasing the best qualities of each other.
Well, what about the functional layers of the roof, the modern roofing system includes a moisture insulation film, a heat -saving layer, a saving layer from gusts of wind, roofing, ventilation communication and other details. Moreover, the installation of the roof in winter requires that all these components will be fixed highly, in compliance with all the technological requirements received and with the implementation of an individual approach in each existing case of installation. And, for example, everything is taken into account – including from weather conditions, architectural components, up to the features of the set of the roof itself and the alleged loads on it.
When arguing about the installation of the roof system, it is necessary to make a stop on the fact that the features of the roof system are installed, are necessarily dependent on which roof is laid – flat or pitched. From which both the approach and the equipment, and certain points of laying are changing.
Flattened or seamless roof produced rolled or membrane. From the roll, the element of the roofing canvas is glued over the burning pressure of the air, with the overlap of mastic for the formation of tightness, and in the second case, the membrane is fixed to the roof screed, gluing with each other as a result of gluing with hot air. Extrudion and mineral wool insulation and foam are used as insulation, the use of which is calculated from the pressure level for the entire system. And the inclined roof with a slope is most often made of metal tiles, corrugated board, flexible bitumen tile or euro -shifter. At the same time, the choice of the product on average depends on the ideas appointed by the client and allocated funds. And for thermal insulation of the roof roofs, glass fiber or mineral wool is used.
The choice of roof also mainly depends on the type of construction itself. So, if capital construction is started, then the roof, respectively, should be heavy – such as ceramic tiles, which has a reliable absorption of sound and heat accumulation. Well, if the building is built as a frame structure – made of wood, with sealing the void with heat insulators, then the roof system is created light – from metal tiles, flexible tiles, as well as light roller roofing coatings.
At the same time, one of the important components of the roof structure is considered to be wooden attic windows and drains, the formation of which depends on the type of roof system. For example, for inclined roofs, an external system of water drainage is used, standardly made of metal or polyvinyl chloride. Determination of suitable material is the taste of the owner of the housing, but you need to remember that although polyvinyl chloride gutters are several times cheaper, the metal drain will be more practical. Well, the flat roofing system will be supplemented by the internal water disposal system, formed from spillway funnels, pipe and connecting elements.
For the completeness of the picture, it is worth determining a little by all the roofing, and we will begin, of course, from the tile, which should be divided into several types. Most of all for your beautiful exterior and reliable operational indicators, natural tiles are valuable. It is beautiful, tolerates the effects of sunlight, moisture and temperature change well. And also, ceramic tile is not covered with a fungus.
Additionally, soft tiles are also in demand, which is a surfaces of cellulose and fiberglass of various shapes, which are treated with polymers and advanced bitumen. The upper layer of flexible tiles is represented by basalt coole of various tones, and has a protective and decorative function.
In some cases, tiles are also made from a mixture of cement-sandy, painted with pigments in a variety of colors. Such a roofing, despite its own cheapness, stands out with a beautiful coating, stability and duration of use. The term of use of cement-sand tiles is a little more than three decades.
In the form of an acceptable roofing, the slate can be advised, produced by pouring asbestos cement. The fibrous sheets of slate are well exploited for more than twenty years, though in a two -year period, covered with dirt due to porosity, lose their aesthetic properties, which can be considered a problem in the eyes of many owners of country houses.
As for the corrugated board, this material is a material used on the basis of the properties of the coating itself with various tasks. So, roofing from corrugated board with a thickness parameter two and a half cm. It will certainly be excellent protection of the roof, and in the case when the thickness of the product is a little less, the material will serve as a refinement of the exterior of the roof system system.
The metal tile is slightly combined with the slate, but acquired a greater indicator of flexibility, taking into account what is made of galvanized steel or aluminum sheet. As a roofing, a metal tile is valued for the beauty of the color, which helps with small cash investments to get an excellent result.
Sometimes, when roofing, aluminum or copper sheets are used to create a folding roof, which not only look amazing, but also become good protection from negative indicators of the external environment, differing in a reliable degree of density and durability. A little less in demand is a roof system of small plates of natural shale and a soft roof, under which a dense base is mounted.
And as for the system of styling, the corrugated board and metal tiles are strengthened with screws, sheets of falsenic roof metal are mounted with special equipment, flexible roofs are glued with special mastic or nailed with carnations, and the EuroShifer is fixed with special slate nails containing anti -corrosion coating.
That’s all the information that belongs to the time of laying the roof, but it is worth knowing that the laying of the roof is very responsible, and for its implementation it is worth inviting trained personnel.
