How to close the garage roof

Garage - it's not just the car storage, it is often also serves as a workshop and warehouse.That is why during the construction of the garage is often the question arises - how to cover the roof of the garage, to make it dry, warm and safe preserving these qualities for many years.Resolving this issue is difficult only at first glance, but if you thoroughly understand the features of roofing materials and laying technology, new roof of the garage with his hands is not difficult.

Currently, there is a large assortment of roofing materials used to cover the roof of the garage, such as:

• Roll materials: roofing, stekloizol, evroruberoid;
• Metal profiled sheets: corrugated board, metal;
• Asbestos cement sheets - slate;
• Ondulin or evroshifer with bitumen impregnation.

choice of the most suitable, reliable and cost depends on the type of roof, snow load, the need for insulation and other factors.The following are the options for roofing materials for different types of roofs.

Pent roof with a slight slope

This roof - the most economical and easiest option for self-construction of the garage of corrugated board, moreover, Shed roofs used in the construction of garages of foam blocks and bricks.To cover the roof with a small bias is applied or rolled materials such as roofing material or profiled metal sheets with a wave height of not less than 40 mm.

Application slate and Ondulina on roofs with a low slope is not recommended - in the cold, they become brittle and large snow loads, as well as trying to clear snow from the roof can break.

gable roof

gable roof with a slope of 15 degrees allows you to use almost any roofing, except roll materials - fusing roofing material on the roof with a significant bias to make quite difficult, and roofing material in this case is used only aswaterproofing coating substrate for other species.

Sheets, corrugated board, metal, slate or ondulin - any of these materials for pitched roofs.It should be remembered that in regions with high snow load better use of lightweight roofing materials, allowing to remove snow quickly.The best choice for this purpose will be profiled - it has only longitudinal stiffeners and does not create obstacles for independent snowmelt.

If the garage is heated, the roof of corrugated board must be warm, otherwise avoid high heating costs, in addition, the temperature difference from different sides of the sheet will lead to condensation and ice that worsen the microclimate in the garage.

Three- and hipped roof

not the most common variant of the device of the roof of the garage, however, sometimes it occurs.For such roofs generally fit all the same materials as for the gable.It is worth noting that the use of the metal will increase the amount of waste, and as a consequence, the cost of materials.

Roof roof of the garage

Many car owners over the main room of the garage do attic, where arrange a full workshop.At the same time the roof often perform polygonal shapes with different angles of inclination.If the angle of roof pitch is over 45 degrees, the use of heavy materials such as slate or thick sheet iron leads to increased load on the truss system.In this case, better to choose a roof of metal tile or Ondulin, and perform insulation of the roof and a good waterproofing.

1. technology roofing garage roll materials Prepare the base.When roofing material covering the roof of the concrete floor slabs concrete cleaned from dust, resin, dirt, grease and lubricants, remove loose from the old coating.On a wooden roof perform continuous crate of edging boards, tightly fitting the board to each other.
2. base coat with mastic asphalt, creating a waterproof layer of waterproofing.mastic is applied in several layers, if necessary.

3. Lay roofing strips, creating an overlap of 10-15 cm. If the strip is placed along the ramp, then start laying any of the edges of the roof, when laying roofing material across the slope should start packingcertainly below to each subsequent strip to overlap the previous one, does not create conditions for the stagnation of water.Roofing felt is glued to the asphalt mastic, evroruberoid surfaced using a blowtorch warming special polymer adhesive layer.
4. number of layers of roofing material depends on the slope and on the roof load.On average, there is only two substrates, roofing brand PSC or PM, and a roof brand RCM RCM or the Republic of Kazakhstan.Each subsequent layer of roofing material is placed by attaching it to a previous using mastic or by melting, taking care not to leave air pockets.For this rolled roofing material or smooth roller.

1. Substrate preparation is to perform crates and stacking parogidroizolyatsii.As parogidroizolyatsii usually use special roll materials with anti-condensation properties, they allow you to eliminate the formation of condensation droplets and ice.The film is placed across the slope of the roof to the rafters, with sagging up to 5 cm. The film is attached to the rafters with furniture stapler.
2. parogidroizolyatsii top of the rafters stacked bars with a minimum thickness of 5 cm, attach them to the rafters with the help of screws.On the bars packed lathing boards of 15-25 mm, lathing step depends on the type of coating.For metal it should be such that it can be fixed on each transverse wave batten board.For sheeting enough pitch of 0.5 meters.

3. profiled sheets are fastened to the furring special self-tapping screws with a sealing washer using a screwdriver.Fixing is carried out in the lower wave so that the washer is slightly pursed, but not forced.Screw with a strictly perpendicular to the plane of the sheet.On each square meter should fall 4-5 screws.
4. After laying roofing necessarily put horse, eaves and wind braces.

garage roof coating technology ondulin and slate

1. Substrate preparation is to perform groundworks that can withstand the weight of the material.For easy ondulinadostatochno edged board thickness of 15 mm in increments of 30-50 cm for asbestos-cement slate boards need 25 mm, laid in 20-30 cm.
   

   scheme of packing crates

2. For additional waterproofing asbestos cement slate usuallyput a layer of roofing underlayment brands PFR prokleivaya by-lap bitumen strip.
3. and slate, and ondulin have standard dimensions of the sheet, and to cover the roofs usually have to put them in several rows.At the same time to avoid distortions to put their best vrazbezhku, ie, shifting on the floor-plate each subsequent row.And begin laying the bottom sheets are placed on the circuit.

4. Krepjat ondulin slate and nailed to the top of the wave.The use of special nails to seal allows you to make a watertight roof.If necessary, the sheets can be cut using conventional handsaw.
5. Ondulina After fastening the upper part of the roof make out the ridge and below the eaves filler set, allowing to seal the space under ondulin.

no different from the above when repairing its roof slab technology in general, it should be borne in mind that modern materials are more convenient, durable and cheap at the same time.Therefore, we can consider the possibility of replacing the traditional slate on the decking or ondulin, extending the lifespan of the garage roof and improving its protective and decorative qualities.
