The materials market for the formation of roofing is constantly expanding. For several years now, the usual rolled soft roof is widely replaced with a tile of fiberglass, impregnated with bitumen. This material is gaining increasing popularity for the roof improvement thanks to a number of advantages, the main of which allocate the widest design opportunities.

Mandatory conditions of technology

To equip the roof with a soft tiles will not independently work. In addition, it will significantly save.

Important! The current price of laying the soft roof (directly elements of the decorative coating) is from 400 rubles per 1 m2. If you need to install a lining carpet or arrangement of frame and roofing cake, costs are significantly increased.

One of the first conditions is to comply with the requirements for the technological moments of the structure of the roofing system under this material:

1. Type of crate.
   To lay a soft roof, be sure to apply a solid construction from the boards or double technology: the first layer is a rare milking doom, the second is from the chipboard or plywood plates, with the disintegration of the seams and a weathered gap in the joints of 3-5 mm.
2. Ventilation. In the process of designing the roof, pay attention to the layout of the right ventilation holes to prevent the condensate accumulation inside the coating between the layers of the system. Otherwise, the integrity of the coating and tightness of the joints of the piece material will rather quickly.
3. Tilt angle. Preference in favor of soft tiles if the angle of inclination of the finished frame is more than 11 degrees. If the design process is not over - be sure to consider this requirement.
4. Lining carpet. An important condition when laying a soft roof with your own hands. When placing a new roof, use a rolled backrueroid or a special lining carpet. Self-adhesive canvases are very convenient. When performing repair work on replacing the old coating, do not remove the previous layer of the tile or runner - it will become a lining to form the right pie.
   

   Important! Before you choose the appropriate principle of laying a lining carpet, read the overall technology of laying the soft roof of the whole roof. This approach will help avoid frequent errors in the installation process. Mounting methods are adjusted by the slope of the roof slide:

• up to 18 degrees covered the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe roof

• more than 18 are only partially, in complex places (endands, horse, ends) and cornice line.                               

When is it better to perform installation?

To fulfill this work, recommendations for weather conditions are unambiguous:

• Maximum dry air (lack of rains and other precipitation for several previous days)
• Preferably the availability of sun rays
• Temperature above + 5c.
  

  

  Important! Given the peculiarities of the requirements for climatic phenomena, plan to fulfill all the works in advance, for the summer.

Sometimes there is a need to lay a soft roof in winter, which in principle is quite feasible. When this issue is decided during the cold season, we will consider additional specific equipment and building materials. Also, the whole process will require a lot more time due to the features of technology in the winter.

Preparatory work

The sequence of work on the arrangement of the roof by this material is similar to the principles of action on the installation of other roofing coatings:

1. Preparation of all necessary tools.
2. Selection of soft tiles.
3. Preparation of roofing space.
4. Calculation of material.
   

   Important! Before you begin to work, be sure to browse the video laying of a soft roof, to more clearly imagine the whole process, choose the key to choose the material and correctly decide on its number.

   

What instruments will need to work with soft tiles?

• Saw
• Building stapler
• Level
• Screwdriver
• Roulette
• chalk
• Hammer
• Construction Fen
• Glue K-36
• Mastic
• Sealant
• Roofing nails and selflessness of suitable length and diameter for different works
• Anti-condensate film
• Planks for registration of eaves and frontones
• Soft tile
• Lumber of suitable cross section
• Lining carpet
• End rover
• Triangular metal rails.

What to pay attention to when choosing a soft tile?

To choose high-quality material, follow the following criteria:

• The quality of the adhesive basis
• Plasticity Gonzov
• Color palette of one party
• The shape of the shingles (the more difficult the configuration of the shingles, the more difficult the installation process).
  

  Important! In addition to all of the above criteria, guide the type of brand and the price, from which the entire cost of laying a soft roof depends to greater extent. Among the current producers have proven themselves well Shinglas.,  Tegola., TilerCat,  Ruflex. Each of them provides a fairly wide range of good quality products.

  

  It is noteworthy that the cost of a soft roof presented by these companies is very democratic: there are lines and more economical options, and exclusive expensive development.

  

Calculation of materials

To correctly calculate the number of shots, consider the parameters of the selected model and the release form.

Focus on the following standard indicators:

• Gone width - 1m
• The height depends on the specific model, the manufacturer, the shape of the cutting of petals (the average value is 30-40 cm)
• Each package is made up from 2 to 4 m2 of material
• For the skate, endands and ends, there are usually special parts, packaged in separate packaging.
  

  Important! Do not forget to take into account 5-10% of permissible overvaluation due to the rupture, initially inaccurate calculation of the area or improper layout during installation.

Pay attention and miscalculate the number of fasteners. There are clear recommendations in this respect, adjustable inclination angle of the roof:

• up to 45 degrees use 4 pieces for 1 shingle
• over 45 degrees - 6pcs / shingles.

How to make the installation of a lining carpet?

In order for the lining carpet to meet the specified requirements for the level of protection and reliability of fastening, follow the following recommendations during the installation process:

1. Roll through the strips in the direction from the skate - to the eternity or horizontally along the sink line.
2. Each subsequent strip is mounted in an overlay in 10-15 cm in one direction.
3. For greater strength, fasten with nails with a gap of 20 cm around the edges.
4. All connectors should be treated with mastic to eliminate tightness disorders.
   

   Important! After laying the carpet, mounted specially prepared metal strips on the eaves, ends. Fastening Perform with nails at a distance of 10 cm located zigzag.

   

   In the places of joints and overlap decrease the frequency of fasteners to 2-3 cm.

Instructions for laying soft roofs

To independently perform all the work on the roof arrangement of soft tiles, follow the following installation rules:

1. Prepare cornice shots.
2. Return from the edge of the inflection of the cornice strip 1-2 cm.
3. Lay around the perimeter.
4. Secure the nails at a distance of 10 cm. Note that they should be hidden by the next roof tile.
   

   Important! Roofing nails for attaching shingles Select 25-30 cm long, diameter hats - from 9 mm, rod diameter - from 3 mm.

5. Mix all the details of the ordinary tile of several packages to eliminate the explicit difference of the shade.
   

   Important! Do not allow direct sunlight to exclude premature melting of the adhesive layer.

6. Seam the roof with chalk horizontally after 70-80 cm, vertically - through each meter.
   

   Important! This approach will ensure the accuracy of the installation line.

7. Determine the central vertical line.
   

   Important! Remove sequentially protective film from each shingle before mounting.

8. Make stacking ordinary tiles towards the center to the ends.                                                                      
9. Make an indent between the cornese and ordinary tiles of 10 cm.
10. Secure nails.
    

    Important! The most suitable place for fastening is slightly above the groove.                                                                                          

11. Place all rows of soft roofs.
12. Watch that the grooves and petals coincide in shape and size.
13. At the ends, do trust clearly around the edges.
14. Stick edges with glue or mastic, a width of a layer of 10 cm.

Registration of complex seats

After laying the ordinary tiles, pay attention to the strengthening of complex places in the following sequence:

1. To improve the skate, use the skate tile, selected by the kit when buying, or make a cut on yourself.
   

   Important! Take into account the color matching when all the details are located.

2. Crepe each gear with nails in 4 places - 2 on each side on one horizontal line.
3. In the endows, cut the tile on both sides, leaving 15 cm of uncovered space at the bottom of the excavation.
4. The last 10 cm from the edge is punctured by glue or mastic.
   

   Important! To put under the roofing material of a small bar in the location of the planned cut, so as not to damage the lining carpet.
   

5. In places of joints with a vertical surface, attach a pre-metallic triangular rail in the corner.
6. Cut the end carpet strips.
7. In such a way that one end is to fix with a special rail of nails at a distance of 10 cm, the second is glued on the horizontal surface.
8. All connectors are treated with sealant.

Recommendations when performing work in winter

When performing work in the winter, be sure to consider the following installation rules to improve the quality of the future roofing fabric:

• Cut off all construction work only with dry weather.
• Prealt the material for several days in the room.
• During the installation, take a tiled by small batches.
• Mastics also deliver in small portions to the construction site, preheated.
• Be sure to use not only the burner for fastening, but also a construction hairdryer for further melting and good clutch.
  

  Important! The flow of warm air of the hair dryer in this case will replace heat of sunlight, due to which the final melting of the adhesive base occurs and its adhesion with the previous roofing layer.

• To create the most reliable canvas install advanced additional forests around the entire roof area. Create a peculiar greenhouse from a frame covered with plastic film.

Conclusion

As you have already seen, the entire process of laying is not too time-consuming, but requires care to correctly fulfill all the requirements of technology and time to mount the soft roof gently.

Under compliance with the above-described conditions described above, the result of your work will be roofing with the following characteristics:

• Strength and reliability providing a long service life
