Instructions for the installation of roofing from metal

Technology of roofing from metal has its own specific subtleties and nuances, meanwhile, its installation with the right approach can produce by hand each.

At present, it is metal roofing that is one of the most common roofing materials with which you can make both a cold and warm type of roof.

This material is a metal sheet with a corrugated surface, and is the optimal solution for the arrangement of the roof of various structures.

Meanwhile, depending on the shape of the roof, its configuration and the number of skates, when installing this universal material used additional nodes of the roof of metal.

In addition to its high practical properties, this type of roofing gives almost any structure an attractive appearance, as you can see in the photo below.

An indispensable condition for the arrangement of such a roof is the minimum slope of the roof made of metal.

With respect to the generally accepted technology and installation rules, the roofing of metal roofing can be arranged by hand. For more information on how to do this, see the video below.

Some features of

Metal tile is a fairly versatile building material that allows you to maximally secure the interior space of the house.

From it you can make roofs of almost any configuration and shape. In addition, this material allows you to make the arrangement of both a warm and a cold roof.

In the case where the installation of a warm roof, it is mandatory to be a special way to heatproof all the stingrays.

This solution will allow to equip in the house one additional room in the form of an attic, which will be quite suitable for daily life.

Also, when a warm roof is installed, it will be necessary to provide effective protection against moisture and condensation.

To do this, it will be necessary to ensure that all its elements are correctly waterproofed using special materials designed for this purpose.

When carrying out work, it should be remembered that the roofing of metal, as well as the structure of the frame must necessarily comply with the norms of SNiP.

When installing the roof of this type, it is also necessary to properly carry out the insulation of the valley. Isolate the valleys from their upper part.

When carrying out the insulation of rafters, the material is laid from the surface of the eaves to the surface of the ridge.

All joints of the waterproofing material must be carried out only on the surface of the beams with a minimum overlap. In any case, the material can not be sagged.

An important point is the thermal insulation, which also provides for SNiP.

For these purposes, you can use a variety of materials, but experts recommend to stop their choice on basalt cotton wool.

In addition, the device of the roof made of metal tiles also assumes the arrangement of a vapor barrier. All these actions should be done for both warm and cold roofs.

Before you start your own work, you need to calculate everything correctly, taking into account all the subtleties and nuances that the design of the house assumes.

Carrying out the necessary calculations

Like any other building material, metal tiles should first be properly calculated in order to represent how many sheets and additional elements of the roof will be required during its installation.

Typically, the width of the full galvanized sheet is always greater by a certain working width. Therefore, in order to correctly calculate and calculate everything, it is necessary to know exactly all the dimensions of the working area.

In addition, the dimensions of the surface of the roof near the chimney pipe, the presence of raindrops, the contiguity of additional elements, the angle of inclination, as well as the overall height of the rafters are taken into account.

The final value can be obtained if the maximum length of the sheet is divided into its entire working surface. The result that will be obtained must be rounded to the higher figure.

To find the required number of sheets for one row, you should measure the total length of the roofing ramp, take into account its height, taking into account the overhang from the eaves, as well as the size of the sheets overlapping.

All these figures should be added together and thus the length that is required for the work is obtained.

The additional material for the space near the pipe is calculated based on the area and dimensions of the location for the pipe. In the same way, the value of the valley is obtained.

All other additional elements are taken into account, including the contiguity to the ridge and eaves, as well as the angle and height of the ramp.

When calculating the material, it must be remembered that it is necessary to ensure a minimum slope of the roof from the metal. For making calculations by yourself, it is recommended to have a number of corresponding drawings.

Such calculations are carried out for both warm and cold roofs in accordance with the norms of SNiP.Types of roofs made of metal, you can see in the photo below.

Preliminary work of

Before starting the installation of the roof itself, it is necessary to carefully study not only the process technology, but also the requirements that are specified in the SNiP.

At hand, there should be appropriate drawings, as well as a safety instruction for this type of work, which must also be carefully read.

Based on the preliminary calculations, you should purchase the material in the required quantity. Also, additional elements will be needed to equip the valley, places near the pipe, cornice and so on.

It is necessary to have at hand an appropriate tool, including a professional one.

Roofing from metal tiles has its own specific features when laying, and therefore, to perform the work with their own hands should be approached responsibly.

For more information on the process itself, see the video below.

Also, as prescribed by the instruction, at the preliminary stage a scheme of laying all the elements is made, including places near the pipe and valley.

It is necessary to check the angle of the rafters for the squareness of the skates and their contiguity to each other.

The rafters, from which the roof frame is made, must be located in the same plane and be treated with special antiseptic compounds.

As you know, there are two main types of roofing, namely warm and cold.

For a warm roof, lay the insulation layer directly between the rafters. Unlike a warm roof, for cold installation of a heater it is carried out above overlapping of the house.

In any case, the principle of carrying out all the basic works on the erection of the roof using metal roofing is the same and should be carried out in accordance with the SNiP.

Insulation device

For any kind of roofing, which will be used to cover the roof truss structure, an obligatory condition is the preliminary laying of the waterproofing material.

To correctly calculate its number, you need to know exactly the total area of ​​the roof.

This insulating material is necessary in order to protect the future layer of thermal insulation as much as possible from moisture and condensate, which is usually formed under the influence of low temperatures.

As such an insulating layer, you can use a wide variety of materials designed specifically for these purposes.

The material chosen for waterproofing should be laid throughout the space of the pit system, including the valley and the place near the pipe. Each corner of the roof slopes is carefully adjusted.

In the place where there will be abutting sheets of film between themselves, you need to make a small margin. Fastening of this layer of insulation can be done with wooden rails.

Also in the preliminary stage, it is necessary to properly insulate the space between the roof. For these purposes, based on the construction of the roof, a heat insulating material is selected.

For a cold type of roof, it is installed directly on the surface of the ceiling from its outer part.

In this case, almost any material can be used, from foam and mineral wool to claydite, sawdust and so on.

In turn, for a warm type of roof it is necessary to carry out the installation by their own hands on the structure of ramps, or a tile insulation, or roll.

Some types of insulation that can be used for a roof made of metal, are shown in the photo below.

Next, the entire roof space is crateed, including the valley and the place near the pipe. Particular attention is drawn to each corner of the structure of the roof frame.

All elements of the battens must be laid correctly and durably. Thus, the roof will be fully prepared for the installation of sheets of metal.

More details on this are described in the video below.

Laying of metal tile

As a rule, the metal tile is secured with the hands from the base of the ridge, which will completely cover the surface of the ramp.

The initial sheet of metal tile is laid in such a way that it protrudes for a short distance directly behind the cornice.

Fastening of each metal sheet is carried out with the help of special screws. The installation of each subsequent sheet is performed with a mandatory overlap.

When stacking sheets of metal tiles, you should periodically check their angle and evenness with respect to the cornice.

In the end part it is necessary to fix special end elements, the installation of which is carried out with the same step of sixty centimeters.

To equip the ridge, as a rule, rounded elements are used, which are mounted using rivets. The angle of joints of metal sheets is sealed with seals.

Elements of the valley are stacked at the very end of the work. In this case, attention is paid to the sealing of all the joints of the valley.

Before laying metal near the chimney, the latter should be plastered with quality. All the space near the pipe is also tightly connected with the waterproofing.

Metal tiles are cut along the pipe contour at the point where the punching line passes, taking into account each corner of the bypass. Further, special aprons are fixed by hand.

When installing the aprons it is necessary that they overlap at least one crest of the wave of a sheet of metal, and the angle is straight.

Also with the help of additional elements, ventilation and dormer windows, as well as any other technological openings, are equipped, if necessary.

Tips and tricks

Metal tile is a universal roofing material that can be used to equip various types of roofs.

This roof provides the reliability of the entire structure and is distinguished by its durability.

Despite the fact that the weight of the sheets of metal tile is relatively low, it is recommended to lift them to the place of work using special lags.

Storage of this material is best carried out on equipped shelving.

If necessary, move through the sheets of metal, it is best to do this in the intervals between the waves, because otherwise you can damage the material.

The angle of each subsequent sheet should be carefully monitored and checked.

After the end of all installation work, you should get a kind of cake of the roof made of metal, consisting of several separate layers.

When fixing each sheet of metal, do it only at the points of contact with the surface of the crate between the waves.

Each sheet should be as tight as possible to the surface of the crate.

In case if it is required to cut metal sheets, then it should be done only with the help of special cutting electronic scissors.

The use of a Bulgarian for this purpose is prohibited, since the protective coating on the sheet in this case may be damaged, which will subsequently lead to corrosion.

Roof from sheets of metal tiles is the best choice for a private house and you can see this if you look at the photo.
