Tile is popular roofing material in spite of the appearance on the market of cheaper options, and easy-to-use. Now consumer is regarded as an elite material that can decorate a house, to give a solid appearance of the building and durability.

Natural tile includes products made of ceramics or cement-sand mix. But there are offers on the market made from bitumen, composite and metal.

Characteristics that determine the choice

The popularity of such a coating is due to the benefits:

• duration of service life, manufacturers give a warranty about 100 years;
• preservation of technological properties;
• the resistance of individual elements to the actions of the external environment, including elevated temperatures;
• high indicators of noise insulation;
• antistatic peculiarities;
• a wide range of product selection;
• the absence of the need for coating.

With a large list of positive features, the roofs of natural tiles are present their cons, they include the complexity of installation. Specialists recommend entrusting the work of professionals, however, with existing recommendations can always be started to work independently.

What products are better?

A certain opinion in prefers to ceramic or cement-sand tiles does not exist, the second option is characterized by a wall thickness and a rough appearance. Traditionally, ceramics tested by time, although both species have the same features and durability. At the same time there are representatives of more expensive and cheap grades of natural tiles of various quality. The cost of the finished roof costs approximately the same price, differences can reach 50% when covering structures of complex forms.

Temporary changes

Modern production significantly expanded the choice and improved the quality of the products produced, there is a tiled on the market of various shapes and paintings. Tile elements can be released with a glossy or matte surface and have any shade. To achieve a glossy effect, glaze are applied, it includes metal ions. This coating increases the waterproofing of the roofing device from natural tiles, greatly simplifies the care of the resulting surface.

Procedure for coating

Installation of the roofing device from the tile includes processes:

1. calculation of components;
2. marking of the position of the boards;
3. fastening of the crate;
4. tile laying;
5. application of fair elements;
6. verification of the result.

How to calculate the amount of material

To obtain a roof from the natural tile, they first spend the calculation of all components. The result depends primarily from the area of \u200b\u200bthe existing surface and its shape, that is, the rods are measured. Ease of use of this material is the ability to obtain the required size of the elements. The disadvantages of tiles include their high weight, so the roof frame calculation is calculated in advance for strength.
In turn, for the purchase of components is necessary:

1. designing of the crate;
2. calculation of the required amount of tiles.

For mounting, the crates are thought out a step of fastening of boards, it depends on the slant coated and the sizes. First they take measurements of the roof measurements, namely:

• surface length;
• the distance from the horse to the extreme boards of the crate, which is 20-40 mm;
• step shape boards on the roof overlook. Typically, an indicator is 320-390mm.

The latter parameter varies depending on the elements used and the size of the drain pipe. In this case, the pipe should not be closed by an element by more than a third of its diameter. The fastening step of the shelling boards take equal to the length of the tiles, taking into account the adoption of 55-90mm. There is a formula for which the amount of material is calculated:

N \u003d (l-a-k) / p,
where n is the number of elements;
L-length of the roof slide;
A - distance from the skate to the crate;
K is the pitch of the lower sweep;
Poice of the crate.

The resulting value is rounded into the biggest. With the existing roof consisting of several rocks of various shapes, calculations are carried out separately for each case.

The correctness of the markup

Markup for crates are applied using a cord. It is fixed on the opposite skate. This is how the neat distribution of elements is achieved. Subsequently, this cord is regulated by the position of the boards forming a smooth surface. If the shortcomings of the roof are in time, the height drops are regulated by the navigation of the bars or the cuts under the crate.

Installation of elements

Laying of natural tiles can be carried out for roofs having a bias of 10-90 °, although the recommended values \u200b\u200bgo within 22-60 °. Before starting direct installation, it is important to prepare the basis, if necessary, carry out pipes, install antennas.

On the roof, the elements are raised by parts, distributed evenly throughout the surface area. In the presence of several rods, the coating is carried out simultaneously on both surfaces. Laying begins from the lower left corner, fixing the extreme elements is carried out with galvanized screws. Meanwhile rows and tiles along the frontal buildings.

Roof roof tiles is carried out by rows or in a checker, it all depends on the surface. Process course:

1. laying the tile series along the skate and eaves without fixing;
2. cutting individual elements to close rows;
3. mark of the lines of vertical columns and the frontal line due to the layout;
4. fixing the elements according to the manufacturer's instructions, ranging from the lower right angle, moving after the end of the row up;

Elements to the crate are fixed with galvanized screws or cleathmen. At the same time, there is a type of tile with a groove lock, in this case, on the reverse side of the tile, fixation is thought out for the crate and connections with adjacent elements. This model of products provides a gap to take into account the expansion of the material and regulation of the overall width of the coating.

Element laying options

Roofing technology Tiles provides for the laying of the Tiles of the Vansel, there are two options:

• single - apply for groove elements;
• double, that is, overlapping the joint of the two bottom plates. Used in the case of flat products.

Such a coating provides hermetically and durable protection, the durability of the surface obtained gives the indicator of the plasticity of the laid tile. It is due to the mobility of the elements, a convenient way to maintain the original type of design after its shrinkage.

Reception and verification of work

The correctness of the laid coating is verified by assessing the diagonals of the skate, with successful results, they receive straight lines.

The need for good components

For sophisticated design places, good elements are used. They simplify the process due to a certain purpose and decorate the finished coating. There is a whole list of quantities:

1. the ventilation elements have the flow of air. They are closed with a horse and skes;
2. to protect against snow;
3. fronton tile;
4. special lattices to protect the ventilation holes;
5. products for skates and ridges;
6. farmery products;
7. to dock the hip;
8. running gear;
9. waterproofing, decorative and finishing materials.

Features of the execution of the process

There are nuances of the roofing device from the tiles, they relate to individual sections:

• for the design of the ridges, an upkone bar 50x50mm is used, elements are fixed on it, a special tape with mounted products is on top;
• tiles on the endhouse are fixed on a solid flooring of wood, covered with waterproofing. The aluminum chute is placed on top, there is already a tile.

After the installation of natural tiling, as a rule, some waste remains, the shape and dimensions of the tile are adjustable using the cutting circle. This makes it possible to maximize the purchased material of the material.

Market offers

To select a material, you can view product directories, familiarized with the photo of the natural tile will remain doubts only about the form and color solutions. Famous companies in the market with good reputation remain:

1. Braas - produces many products, tiles with a flow rate of 10pcs / m2 has a price from 1,5e for 1pc.
2. Tondach - Products of decent quality, products are presented in many countries. The cost of 1 m2 varies from 12th.
3. Roben - indicators of the European quality level, the cost of the tile begins from 13U / 1M2;
