How can you characterize keramoplast?
The new construction and finishing material keramoplast, the technical characteristics of which are gradually becoming known to everyone, has been obtained through a unique combination of raw materials and components used in its production. It is ecologically clean, it does not contain asbestos, bitumen, phenols and other carcinogenic components.
Composite material is produced on the basis of natural mineral and high-tech artificial components made of synthetics. The found successful combination of these components distinguishes keramoplast and roof from it.
With its high strength, the roofs easily withstand high wind loads and extreme weather conditions accompanying storms and hurricanes. A unique combination of components imparts high thermal and sound insulation to the roof. And with a sheet thickness of about 5 millimeters, the ceramic plastics are similar in terms of the protective properties of the pine board at 10 mm in thickness and are completely free of the "drum" effect of the roof.
It is light, durable, not afraid of the effects of acids, alkalis and other similar aggressive media and substances. Fungi, mold, decay also do not threaten the roof of this sheet material. Since in the production of the color of the sheet is carried out on the entire thickness, scratches, chips, cuts are almost invisible and do not spoil the decorative effect of its appearance.
Production and application of ceramic plastics
Ceramoplast, the dimensions of which are similar to the popular and well-developed dimensions of roofing material, due to the surface structure, counteracts the avalanche sliding of snow. The material, as a rule, is issued in sheets of 2 m2( for tiles the area of the element is 0.5 m2) and is packed in pallets that are convenient for transportation. As a merit of the application, one can call the unification of the sizes of the elements, which, in case of need, makes it easy to repair damaged areas.
Perhaps, against the backdrop of solid advantages, it is worth mentioning its "lack".This is a pretty boring appearance of "wave."However, this familiar design is more than offset by the richness of colors and shades of color. The color range of ceramic plastics sheets is very diverse and allows you to choose from a rich palette.
The roofing material keramoplast is successfully used for roofing, wall cladding, for fencing( even cooling towers in metallurgy are sheathed).Unique and the ratio of price and quality. High performance properties, not inferior to the qualities of the best roofing materials, in particular, the same metal tiles, are distinguished by keramoplast.
How to install the ceramic plastics correctly?
Installation of ceramic plastics on the roof does not require specialized skills, it is marked by simplicity. The material is easy to saw, cut, drill, nail and even bend. It is mounted on a wooden crate, like the usual slate of asbestos cement.
The manufacturer provides elements that make it equally easy and simple to implement a device of under-roof space. In the range of products there are not only sheets, but also tiles - ceramic plastics retains all its properties and in this form.
Special sets of mounting elements allow you to hide the heads of self-tapping screws or nails with plastic covers - caps made in one color palette with sheets or tiles. At the same time, the manufacturer guarantees that the roof can easily withstand temperature changes from -60 to +75 ° C and will last up to 30 years without loss of consumer qualities, decorativeness and color.
For boards, choose boards 10 cm wide, their thickness must be at least 3 cm. Before installing the roof, treat all wooden structures with impregnated mold and damp. Step lathing do in the area of 40 cm, but the first pair of boards should be apart from each other in centimeters 25.
Then the installation is done at an intuitive level, overlapping sheets of keramoplast are fastened to the lath, starting from the bottom row. For elements of the very first row, perhaps the second one, you need to use more fasteners, for example, 30 per sheet, you can lower this figure to 20.
It's important to remember that to protect your house from rain, the roof should have ledges. For the ceramic plastics, the following figures will be optimal: on the side - 5 cm, at the ends - 10 cm. So there will be a minimal risk that the ends will break off under some weather cataclysms, and at the same time, the roof effectively obscures the perimeter of the house.
