Installation of tiles with their hands , everyone can !

Key Features laying tiles with their hands

Application shingles for the roof home runs in several levels:

• base mount (frame) roof
• Laying the underlayment
• Construction of eaves, valleys, end
• tiling
• installation abutting parts
• soft tile installation on roof ridge board

Fixing the roof frame

the Mount of tile installation is preceded by a special frame or base.As the foundation is often used crate (solid or thinned).Its material - wood, it is easy to use, has a small thickness - about 20 millimeters.Can be used in addition:

- plywood

- chipboard hydroresistant basis

- tongued and edging wooden rods

They screwed with screws to the rafter boards, leaving small spaces (subject to increase in the tree structureunder the influence of external factors).The surface is covered crates antiseptic.The process of installation of roof boards means by a preset rendering rafters and boards thickness for mounting battens.

After everything you need to take care of the basics of the following components of the roof:

- the ventilation system and the calculation of the necessary materials for her

- underlay

- installation of eaves, valleys, end

After all the above components can proceed to the installation of tiles.

laying tiles.Basic principles

Start the installation of tiles with their hands implies a choice of the right material.Often laying tiles produced in different color shades.This does not affect the quality, but rather speaks of banal difference producers.The right decision when purchasing - to support one model and one brand.

tile laying begins below the cornice center.Tiles made of a material bitumen stripes run vertically to the fronts of the bearing wall.The first line should be in the interval 2-3 cm. The second strip is cut down the middle, forming a pattern on a roof and overlapping the first strip.The edges of the shingles are cut off at the edges of the bituminous adhesive and lubricating agent.The adhesive strip should have a width of 10 centimeters.Each tile requires plitochki secondary attachment.In general, the fixation is made with nails, combining just two tiled tiles.One shingle requires about 5 nails.Additional fixation is provided on the crate under the influence of sunlight.

example of calculating the number of tiles

How to calculate the number of tiles needed?Consider the example of technology on a gable roof.First you need to learn the characteristics of this type of roof.For example, it has the following features:

1. height of 5 meters
2. length of 7 meters
3. slope of 33 degrees.

Measure the total size, it will be equal to - 5 multiplied by 7 and multiply by 2. Area = 70 square meters.

Tutu shingles used on the 3 square meters.So 70 divided by 3 and get a 23 pack.

This method is suitable for the calculation of the construction material for the backing layer, the valley.
