The construction of the roof. A few tips.

The construction of the roof - the process responsible and very important. Unfortunately, there may be many mistakes that can be avoided, if we approach this issue in more detail.

The first thing to check the suitability of the selected roofing your climate zone. In areas with high snow load it is recommended to do the roof with round stingrays and an inclination angle of not less than 45 degrees. If you want to make a flat roof, you need to calculate the load on every detail of the design.

If you use a roof-based farm, the opportunity to discuss the latest design, if the site is not a crane.

Those who want to make a roof with a long ridge, we must remember that the skate is made of smooth and dry boards, so buying it is necessary to take care in advance.

A common mistake - the design of the roof, which does not take into account the size of the materials. This can significantly increase the cost of construction materials and the cost of the entire roof.

Now for the roofing materials. This is the most expensive element of the roof, so you need to think carefully about the shape of the roof, through which you can reduce losses to a minimum to avoid cases where a quarter of the metal to a small house left in trimming.

When choosing a roofing material, be sure to consider the nuances of the roof. For example, the slope of the roof, which is put on the slate should be not less than 12 degrees, and in conditions of snow accumulation - at least 25. At the same sheet of slate should be based on the four bars. But when using the slope inclination Ondulina should be not less than 5 degrees. So, if you suddenly decide to use other roofing material, you will either have to convert crate, or completely change the rafters.

If you have little experience in the flooring of the roof, refer to specialists, otherwise errors can not be avoided. For example, an inexperienced person can burn through the canvas roof surfaced, and when laying slate - incorrectly trimmed corners.

Weather also plays a role. So smooth shingles must be installed on a sunny day in the sun and also stick to the base, but the corrugated bitumen sheets are more resistant to setting a period of cold weather.

In no case do not forget about good ventilation of the attic and a vapor barrier, otherwise condensation will adversely affect the wooden elements of the roof, causing mold and cracking.

Finally, arrange on the roof decking, fencing and railings, to be able to safely walk on the roof, installing antenna, clearing chimneys, etc.
