Folding roof is an unusual technology that allows you to create scanty simple roofs, as well as real works of art. That is why in this article we will tell about the device of the folding roof and the method of its manufacture.

Advantages of mounting a folding roof:

• simple repair;
• provides good water flow;
• has a smooth surface;
• elements of fasteners are hidden inside the fold and there are no through holes;
• durable;
• fireproof;
• building materials for this type of roof are used with a polymer coating and without it;
• is flexible;
• it has a small weight.

Today at the Stroynka, you can find the following types of folding roofs:

• aluminum folding roof;
• steel;
• finnish;
• copper;

• fold roofing Rannila.

Each of these types of roofs has certain advantages and disadvantages, but unites them in incomparably high quality and wonderful decorative design.

There are several options for the compound of the folding roof:

• double and single folds (depend on the number of bends of the edge of the connected elements);
• standing and lying folds (depend on the location of the joints).

At the same time, lateral long sections of roofing paintings that go along the slope are attached with the help of standing foldhold, and horizontal with lying. However, double standing folding is considered the most durable and hermetic fastening.

As for the standing single fold, it has a self-locking method of fixing. To connect panels in this way, no special equipment is required - just press the edge of the picture.

The connection of the patterns with the help of folds can be:

• vertical;
• horizontal (connection on the length of the skate).

Installation instructions for a folding roof

Preparatory work:

• initially, you should make the estimate and calculate the consumption of building materials. Then roll metal rolls or sheets are brought to the construction site;
• folding roofing with their own hands begins with the production of all elements - frontal and typical frontal planks, mortgage elements, drainage gutters, shaped planks and paintings of paintings. All these components are manufactured in accordance with the width of the metal strips. The panel takes 100% of the tape width, and on the challenges from 20-100%. In the event that a non-standard frontal or cornice plank is needed, which involves the non-open metal cutting, then this question should be coordinated with the architect;
• steel sheets are placed by a special tool, markup is applied, after which they are cut by scissors that correspond to their thickness. The side edges are bent, which will be a workpiece to create standing folds.

Mounting work:

• activities for a folding coating for a roof starts with the preparation of the base. As a rule, under this type of building materials suitable case in a step between boards 5-15 cm. If you use aluminum or copper, it is recommended to perform it from moisture-resistant plywood (from 1.2 cm), OSP slabs (from 1.13 cm) or a tipped board (from 2.5 cm);

• when the doom is ready, you can start the installation of the lining carpet. If you have done it not solid, then the need for this disappears;
• for each type of folding roof it is necessary to use a certain type of fastener. For example, if you produce a copper roofing device, it should be fixed with copper or stainless steel elements, if aluminum - galvanized steel or stainless steel;

• starting the installation of the coating should be from mortgage planks on the ends and cornices of the roof, hooks for drainage gutters, as well as from the installation of a special drip for condensate output (if the roof is insulated). It is then mounted with endands, cornisic strips, drainage gutter and frontal board. After that, end and skate elements are installed, paintings panels. The technology of arrangement of the folding roof is completed by mounting on the pipes of fluguards and the creation of adjoins to the vertical surface.

Installation of additional security methods

To ensure maximum safety, it is necessary to equip the roof of snow-coolers for a folding roof, roofing stairs and transitional bridges.

Recommendations:

• the blanks for a folding roof should be kept on the crate with a certain interval. If you ignore the installation technology, then during operation, the roof may begin;
• the most sealed, durable and moistureproof is considered a double standing foldhold, which is a connection of paintings or sheets by the method of dual bend edge.

Repair of a folded roof

Repair works of folding coating do not assume the presence of special skills and knowledge, so simple, like its laying.

Types of repair:

• capital:
• current;
• emergency.

The most difficult and expensive is considered the overhaul of the folded roof. In this case, there is a complete analysis of the old roof, the repair of the crate and the new roof is set. As for partial replacement of paintings, it may be needed in the presence of global damage. To do this, roll out Falts and remove the band with damage.
