Laying metal - a simple , but responsible action

Preparations

Installation should begin to prepare for the work.The first thing you need to prepare everything necessary for the job.Tools will need the following:

• drill or screwdriver;
• hammer;
• rubber mallet;
• tape measure and level;
• brush with soft bristles;
• longest rail;
• marker.

also need a tool for cutting sheets of material.Metal tile can be cut with hand scissors for metal circular saw, jigsaw or electric clippers.

Important!Cut sheets grinder is not recommended because of the high temperature will burn the polymer coating and zinc.Because of this, even if the packing is made efficiently, the corrosion process to begin.

Technology laying metal should be carried out in accordance with the rule requiring sweep away all the dust with a soft brush to the roof.If this condition is not respected, it may cause damage to the protective layer, which also contributes to corrosion, loss of appearance and shorter lifespan.In addition, it is necessary to work in shoes with soft soles that there is no damage to the protective and decorative coatings.

Recent calculations

laying instruction must contain metal item which states that the material must be stowed overlapped with an overlap of 200 mm.Dimensions of the sheets can be any, depending on the wishes of the customer.Too much is recommended that you cut into two parts.

Mounting material is performed so that the edges were 40 mm beyond the edge of the eaves.Such a scheme laying metal provides the necessary space for ventilation.Before you create a hip roof, we recommend that you make a drawing on paper with the calculation of each section.For a rectangular ramp calculation is made by dividing the length of the cornice on the width of a single sheet of material.When laying the roof on a rectangular ramps must first mount truss system.

Important!If the slope of the diagonal is uneven, it is necessary to align the consoles for the front-line of the board.

Stacking metal with their hands

The procedure involves placing metal sealing device in order to protect the insulation from atmospheric moisture.waterproofing material must be rolled and cut directly on the rafters.coating direction depends on the roof pitch.If it is 1: 5 or more, the installation is carried out parallel to the roof ridge, with lower slopes - in the direction of slope.Overlap sealing material should be at least 100 millimeters.Tiles laid on the crate.It is done from bars section of 50 × 50 mm, with a pitch crates, corresponding to the width of sheets.

now look at how to style metal roofing?The first sheet is placed flush with the end of the roof and attached self-tapping at the ridge, the material is taken out of the eaves by 40 millimeters.The second - the first lap in the case of mounting from right to left, or under it, if laying takes place from left to right.The sheets are joined at the top of softwood overlap.The third sheet is placed as well as the second.In the future, the whole installation is done on the same technology.In order for the process to be more clear, you can see tutorials on how to perform installation of metal on the video.

Note!If you bought the material with a protective film, before starting the installation it must be removed.
