Secrets laying shingles

About, how to style shingles, written many articles. The technology is clear and accessible for self-repetition.

However, there are points that should be paid attention to, regardless of whether you mount the roof on their own or attracted to this construction team. And best of all of the technology, of course, can tell manufacturers.

On the secrets and nuances of laying shingles says CTO direction "Pitched roof" Company TekhnoNIKOL Rafael Serazhetdinov.

How to start installation shingles

Reliability of the roof depends largely on the overall life of the house. Shingles - a durable and strong material, in this case, as in any stage of construction of 50% of the success depends on the quality of installation or properly designed roof.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- Before you begin installation of shingles, design and carry out a whole range of preparatory work should be developed. The only way to ensure that the roof will last a long time.

To mount a high-quality and reliable roof, you must adhere to the following plan:

• Project development.
• Preparatory work.
• Mounting base and roofing.
• Control of work performed.
• Periodic maintenance of the roof.

A clear adherence to these items ensures a long service life of the soft roof. Moreover, this approach can be used in any construction work.

Requirements for the roof system

The thoroughness of the preparatory works life of a soft roof is completely dependent. For clarity, the stages of shingles installation can be divided into the points.

So, you first need to mount:

• truss system;
• insulation;
• steam and waterproofing;
• the ground under the roof (crate and solid floor).

Only after the end of the preparatory work can start laying the shingles.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- Because rafters bear the brunt of the roofing, they are subject to special requirements. The important point is reliable fastening rafters. Also, I advise to treat wood protective structures.

Truss system is being built is not "by eye", and not "as a neighbor," and on the basis of careful calculation, which includes the collection of data on wind, snow load and the weight of the roof material.

Because shingles has a small weight, for it does not need a powerful truss system, such as a natural tile.

Note that moment as laying vapor barrier film overlap with obligatory sizing seams bilateral adhesive tape.

As laid insulation and fill kontrobreshotku

After installation of the vapor barrier go for laying insulation. Before laying the insulation between the rafter nailed a piece of wood, which will keep the insulation boards.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- insulation thickness is determined by calculation on the basis of heating.

Also retention windproof film, kontrburs forms a ventilation channel, which is required for ventilation of the roof space and remove excess moisture.

To this end, the bar is nailed on top of the rafters in parallel. If you fill kontrbrusok perpendicular to the rafters (and this happens), then in the future it becomes an obstacle to the natural flow of air (from the ridge to the eaves) in the under-roof space.

Height kontrbruska - 50-75 mm and its width is equal to the width of the rafters. The height of the ventilating channel depends on the length and angle of inclination of the roof. Thus, with shallow slopes less than 20 degrees channel height - not less than 75 mm, above 20 degrees - at least 50 mm. If this is not done, it will be difficult natural air current.

After mounting kontrbruska over it, perpendicularly stuffed sheathing, which is required for fixing solid flooring under the shingles. This crate allows free flow of air into the space mezhstrapilnom provides savings on Large-deck gun and the thickness of the latter.

Used for sheathing boards or unedged board of 16 mm thick.

All boards stray nails. It is important to remember that the nail length must be such that, breaking the crate and kontrobreshotku, its tip was included in the truss leg by at least 2-3 cm.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- All wooden structural elements to protect against rot and combustion necessarily processed ognebiozaschitnymi compositions.

How to prepare a base for laying shingles

Shingles is laid on a solid, hard, smooth and dry flooring. The most common flooring - it OSB-3, to a lesser extent - the brand plywood WBP. The thickness chosen for engineering calculations, depending on the area of ​​construction, shape of the roof, etc. For single-layer and two-layer tile flooring Large-thickness should be not less than 9 mm, for a three-layer - not less than 12 mm. In an alternative form flooring tiles used for edging or grooved board with a relative humidity not exceeding 20%.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- To compensate for thermal expansion of OSB-3 and PSF plywood stacked with a gap of 3-5 mm and attached with screws or nails ershonnymi. After preparing the flooring is necessary to mount two types of carpet underlay: self-adhesive - in the places most likely leaks, these include eaves and valley; on the rest of the surface slope - a conventional carpet backing with mechanical detent.

Because material available in rolls, it is rolled-up from below, with overlaps laterally 10 cm, and in longitudinal - 15 cm. For carpet flooring nailed special galvanized nails (3x30 mm) with a broad hat, every 15-20 cm. Places overlaps in the usual carpet coat with mastic asphalt.
.

After laying a carpet underlay installed gable trims. Cornice strip is mounted on a wooden deck. Beat them (in a checkerboard pattern with 150-200 mm steps) with the same nails that underlay carpet. The field joint strips stacked with overlaps of 150 mm 2 and nailed with nails.

How to laying shingles

Shingles is a fragmented roofing material lightweight, folding it can be to own, without resorting to outside help. For this purpose, the eaves, over the underlay carpet laid Konkovo-cornice tiles. Instead, you can use the usual and ordinary tiles, pre-cut off her petals.

Konkovo-cornice tiles nailed to the ground with galvanized nails with a wide hat at a distance from the edge of 2.5 cm.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- Because color shingles from batch to batch may be slightly different, I recommend to keep the installation of 5-6 packs - is a feature of all manufacturers shingles.

Laying the first row of shingles begins in mid-slope. Installation is carried out in parallel Konkovo-precipitous shingles. The second row is laid from the center. It is necessary to shift the shingle to the left and right on half a petal. Shingles nailed so that the lower edge of the lobe is flush with the upper edge notches of the first series.

To control the straightness install subsequent rows, you can make a layout base, pulling the thread or the skip producing lace.

Nails should clog so that the body of the nail called at a base strictly at a right angle, and is recessed in the cap does not shake, and was flush with the surface of the shingles.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- Mount the soft roof must be at an ambient temperature of not less than - 20gradusov. If the temperature is below 5 degrees, it is necessary to maintain the package in a warm place for at least a day and submit to the roof of 5-6 packs. When the intense heat on the surface of the already laid tiles need to move on special scaffolding. If you do not, on the surface of shingles can remain dents or scuff marks. If you can not build the scaffolding, the working day is divided into two parts, excluding the day when the sun is at its zenith.

Particular attention should be paid to tunneling through soft roof ventilation elements.

Passing an element of a mandatory coat with mastic asphalt and nailed to the ground. Then, the installation location is greased with mastic and made laying shingles. Tiles for a snug fit a transmission element is cut on the spot.

Why the need for skating aerator, and how to care for soft roof

The final stage of laying shingles becomes mounted on the roof of a solid skate skating aerator. Ridge aerator is required for free air exit from the roof space.

Rafael Serazhetdinov:

- Along ridge saw out slit width of 3 to 8 cm in wooden flooring. The aerator is fixed with galvanized screws.

After installation of the aerator at him from above, fit Konkovo-cornice tiles.

To roofing shingles served for a long time, it is necessary to observe a number of rules for her care:

• In spring and autumn should be cleaned with a soft brush the roof of debris, leaves, branches, etc. Thus it is impossible to use brushes with metal bristles or sharp objects.
• For a free flow of water pre-cleaned gutters and hoppers.
• If the winter on the roof has accumulated too much snow, it is necessary to remove the wooden spades, layer by layer, leaving at the end of a layer thickness of 10 cm.
• It is also recommended to periodically inspect the roof as a preventive measure and, if necessary, to carry out its repair.

Note that with a two-layer tiles these problems with installing less.
