• certainly need to leave a ventilation gap among insulation;
• kontrobreshetka performs several functions: waterproofing fixes and is fixing to battens;
• crate, which later attached sheet metal itself.The material for the crates can be treated with a special antiseptic wooden blocks and perforated galvanized steel profile.Purlins secured with a certain step, which usually does not exceed 45 cm;
• metal.

cutting and assembly of sheet metal

cutting sheet metal - the initial phase of its installation.Almost always it is necessary to carry out on the ground, after which it is rising to the roof.In general, experts recommend as little as possible to resort to cutting it, but if the need arises, you must always remember a few rules:
