Gaunt - a list that consists of 3 - 4 "cherepichin".When properly laying shingles as if fused with each other under the influence of solar heating to form an airtight protective layer for the roof.To achieve the optimum effect under roofing shingles, it is involved, usually a clear scheme, for example, laying shingles in six rows.Description can be easily found on the Internet.

Benefits of soft tile

1. Lightweight.
2. flexibility.
3. strength.
4. Economy.
5. Waterproof.
6. Fitted roof irregular geometry.
7. High resistance to the formation of mold and mildew.
8. Permissible ambient temperature range from -50C ° to + 100C °.

soft Roofing tiles the easier and more efficiently, more accurately follow the instructions, and sharper than the aged structure of classical, so-called"Roofing pie".

4. cement particle boards (sheet cement fiberboard high density and so forth.).

Nuance!Using edged boards, try to place them so that the roundness of the annual rings on cuts have been directed upwards.
