How can I make the roof, spend as ekonomvariant

Porcelain tiles - one of the most popular finishing materials, used both inside and outside. But, on the street usually either facing in the system ventilated facadeOr coating on the terrace or steps, at least, the flooring on flat roofs. But in view of excellent technical characteristics, this material has virtually no limitations on the scope. And I decided one of the members of our portal and covered granite roof of his house. We find out why he chose as the original version, and what happened in the end.

Why granite

It would seem that the sale of a huge range of specialized roofing materials for roofs of any configuration and complexity. However, for a house built on his own project, ovcharist rather it is granite.

The house is in three floors: the first - a garage plus a swimming pool; the second - the guest; third - Master. The total area of ​​360 m². I took the standard project and change everything. The walls are poured by hand into a double sliding formwork. Inside Penoizol (18 cm), ventilation supply and exhaust, passive, heat exchanger, heating of heat-insulated floor, the roof of porcelain for reasons of economy. It turned out cheaper than metal. All he considered himself - also for reasons of economy. On the self-spent year. Mostly at night. This is my nightmare and my pride. Finishes there yet, so do not show inside. Promises to be quite economical for heating. Last winter the guys stoked a furnace "Engineer", 15 kW - only during the day. Oven on the second floor, so the house from +18 to + 22⁰S, in the base 5 to 7⁰S.

Porcelain tiles Outdoor - textured, dark brown to simulate natural slate. Dimensions of tile 40 × 40 cm, larger tiles would look worse. Although from a height of three floors invoice is not particularly make out, it is not chosen by chance.

How looks smooth tile, I will not say - did not see, did not compare with anything. But, apparently, it provides texture on a sunny day, a kind of glow effect on the sun roof. I saw Paris locks under slate - the same shine. The result was a very high-quality fake. This prompted me to troubles, so very much.

truss system

Elements truss system standard, but with increased by 10% from the calculated parameters. Amplification arranged variably - and due to the smaller pitch of rafters, and by means of additional supports, and due to the continuous top deck trusses. Mass tiles per 1 m of about 30 kg, and this value is not absolutely critical, as compared with the calculated snow and wind load.

The junction nodes (over the tubes) are stacked the galvanized steel sheets, painted to match the roof; made in the same manner skates, valley, wind braces. Solid flooring rather for reinsurance, the roof is tight, but it further strengthens the rafters. On top of the deck, "brewed" waterproofing underlayment carpet crate of wooden bars on the deck packed with galvanized nails.

tiles preparation

The idea of ​​laying porcelain tiles on the roof of the Italians came to a head, they also mount technology developed and specialized to produce tiles started. From roofing tiles characterized by having fastening holes and the edges - factory thinner at the edges, so that when folding and fixing of the head of hardware not propped adjacent segments. Another significant difference between the cost - several times higher.

To seal the floor granite circuit, it must finalize: making cuts for fixing the countersunk screws, and the undercut side corners to the top row overlaps the bottom. And to use for this purpose grinder, not a good idea.

If necessary, trim the roofers on porcelain stoneware, the tiles are cut, and if the cut mounting hole, then made a groove. they just do the groove "direct" t. e. stupid grinder. This groove prevents drown screw so that it did not give a point load on the upper layer of porcelain. If this place come - Tile may break, despite the strength. In the case of factory floors, such cuts are formed only at places abutting on the edge of the roof. And in our everywhere. So we had to make grooves with slanted walls. I do not know whether it is my know-how, but the roof of (homemade) - just not yet, at least, I do not know about. But, judging by the interest of the forum, will be soon.

For horizontal installation of the tiles do not have to trim, but it is another kind, and other expenses. On the tiles process took two days to work on two specialized machines, used welding templates to simplify the process. Having two machines also contributed to the speed, do not have to reconfigure the equipment.

Skates are also stoneware - glued together from two halves of a polymeric adhesive, UV stabilized, with reinforcement serpyanku (FIBERGLASS) in the adhesive layer. Wind separation prevents galvanized plate, anchored in the apex and folded bottom edge.

Consumption of about eight pieces of tiles on the square, while other embodiments, laying flow will be more - and 13, and 16 tiles per square. Laying tiles on the roof of a simple form of special complexities does not cause, while it was necessary to tinker with complex. Test fragment 2 × 1,5 m ovcharist I packed "try" before buying the tiles on the entire roof. In real life, the first ramp had to redo several times, after the work went faster. To a tile lath fastened with galvanized screws skate as, screws, in addition to the fastening plate.

Simple roof of porcelain

Example ovcharista inspired another forumchanin, decoration was simple roof is the original coating.

Roof color of coffee with milk (light coffee, closer to gray), afraid that with skates do not have time to freeze and ordered metallic "color." Regarding like-dislike, the question is incorrect - is the subject of buzz, even pride. "Madness of the brave we sing a song," I am very grateful for the idea (although slightly reworked in the direction of appreciation). Instead lathing - SIR, 18 mm thick, rafters 150h50 mm, with a pitch of 700 mm. And two layers of roofing material (perpendicular) to 2 mm each.

As noted Piskor, The roof of the color depends on the viewing distance and angle, shades set the day "can be viewed as the clouds are reflected," but at night the roof "like moonstone." The result was a kind of roof-chameleon.

Given the cost of roofing granite, it is unlikely he threatens to become the product of a broad consumption process is the preparation and floor tile installation is more complicated than the usual installation roofing. Nevertheless, and ovcharist and Piskor satisfied with their choice, and an exclusive, anyway, can not be compared with the mass-market.

Natural tile is considered to be the prerogative of the wealthy people, but if you want to get a visual similarity with less rescue Cement-sand tile. And as she looks at the real object can be seen in the material on Framework of the present laminated board. In the video - review natural roofing with a thematic exhibition.
