How to make the roof of metal on their own ?

How to choose the material?

In order to know how to properly mount the metal roofing, you must navigate the varieties of material and choose one type for your roof.They all have different strengths and properties, so before buying any type of tile you need to get acquainted with them and find the best option.Also plays an important role type of coating metal.As an outer coating to it are pural, polyester, plastisol and PVLF.

• Pural - a high-gloss finish, easy to tolerate the impact of rainfall and sharp temperature jumps.Apply a layer of 25 microns.
• Polyester - the cheap stuff on the basis of polymers, is applied in a layer of 25 microns.Resistant to sunlight, allowing the tiles for a long time does not fade.
• Plastisol is the most durable coating thickness of 200 microns.On the surface can be applied notches and reliefs to fight "glare" of the roof.
• PVLF: 80% of members - polyvinyl difluoride, and 20% of acrylic.The coating has a thickness of 27 microns, it is durable, does not fade and is resistant to mechanical damage.

Note!Choosing the type of coverage should be based on climatic conditions in your area.

coated Metal is both matte and glossy, and with colored stone grit.Matte finish more than the gloss, not to mention the tiles with grit, which is twice more than the usual material.Price determines the quality of the steel, the strength of the protective coating, the wave height and trademark.

What you need to know before you start working

deciding how to close the roof metal tile, it is necessary to take into account some of its features: lightness, thermal conductivity and a large area.The first factor allows to erect a light truss, and the latter - a rare crate.Due to the size, the roof can be made simple form quickly and with enough material waste just 5%.The complex shape of the waste will increase to 35%.

also need to know how to install metal roofing, to make proper ventilation.Especially important this factor becomes roofing, inside which there is condensation, which may eventually cause structural failure.To prevent this, it is recommended to use the anti-condensation membrane.

Important!Anti-condensation membrane are one-way, so they laid a rough surface to the heater.

all layers of the roof are arranged in order to increase their ability to pass pairs: first of all falls vapor barrier, insulation and a further layer of air 30 millimeters thick waterproofing membrane and another layer of air layer.After that it comes directly fixing tiles.

Stages of

now turn to how to attach a metal tile and make the roof.In this process, as in any other, has its own sequence of actions:

• Once the rafters are installed, you must check the entire structure, as there may be deviations from the project.
• basic size and length of slope are calculated taking into account the overhang of the cornice tile with 40 mm.If the ramp length is more than 7 meters, the sheets should be split into several parts and put them in a 150 mm overlap.
• Set natural ventilation with the expectation that air can circulate freely between the eaves and the ridge.
• Stacked rolls of waterproofing;
• Work on the device heat and sound insulation in the room.It is placed
• crate;
• on the joints fastened to the furring strip of the valley bottom.Next stacked sheets of metal, and is mounted on a butt strap upper valley.
• done inner apron for sealing joints with chimneys.On top of stacked sheets of tiles.The question arises: how to properly fasten metal roofing?This is done with screws, which are cut into the rafters or crate.

Important!To move on the sheets is necessary only in soft shoes, stepping into the trough of the wave.

• mounted water drainage system.

This installation is finished metal.
