A process that does not require effort
Repair and a soft roofing device can be done by almost everyone. If you have all the necessary tools to carry out such work, then the process is quite simple. Installation is usually carried out by two people. One of the workers heats the ruberoid with a gas burner to the desired temperature, and the second behind it evenly rolls the roll.
You can also work on your own, while unfolding ruberoid with a nailhead or armature with a special bend at the end. However, experts argue that if there is a misalignment of the roofing material, it can not be fixed with a nail driver. To do this, it is necessary to postpone the burner and manually correct the material, which takes a lot of time. In this regard, it is recommended to work with an assistant.
After performing the operation on the entire roof area, it is necessary to check the quality of work. All rolls should lie in even rows without any distortion. In addition, you should carefully check the edges. They should be well fixed, otherwise they will bend under wind gusts, and the ruberoid will tear off. If everything looks normal, then you need to wait for the rain, because it will show the quality of the work done.
Important! When carrying out the laying of the coating, it is necessary to adhere to all norms and rules of qualitative work.
Materials and tools that will be needed:
- Ruberoid;
- Gas burner or blowtorch;
- Knife for cutting material;
- Broom for removing garbage;
- Protective equipment( thick pants and shoes, gloves).
Adjuster
Particular attention must be given to how to properly implement the device of soft roof joints. In the process of creating junctions on the joints of the material and the roof, a special triangular rack is attached. In its role can be a skirting board or a wooden beam. Further in this bar a soft roof is put in. If the surface is made of bricks, then before starting the installation, it must be treated with a primer. To ensure the sealing of the ventilation and chimneys, a pattern is made of a carpet or metal sheet resistant to corrosion. Also, during installation, the cascade of water should be taken into account.
Important! Adjoining must be very carefully covered, as moisture can penetrate through them, which will speed up the need for repair.
In regions with snowy winters, it is necessary to provide a snow retention system. Installed such a system at the time of installation of a soft roof, and it is necessary to protect the drainage systems from the damage caused by snow from the roof. Such systems are produced in two types: point and reling. It is best to use spot, as they lie under the roof, which gives it additional protection.
Cover repair
The technology of the soft roofing device is very simple, which makes it so popular. However, as mentioned above, it is necessary to repair it every few years. There are two types of roof repair: the capital and the application of the patches.
The application of the plates is used in cases where, in general, the coating is still normal, and only in places the defects appear. Such areas are freed from the old coating and cleaned. The strip can be made from the same material as the coating itself, or any other suitable material can be used. It is important to apply bitumen mastic on the inner side of the lacquer. It should be at least five centimeters to support the territory of the site being treated. Then it is heated, put and pressed by a load from above.
Overhaul is a laborious process. To do this, it is necessary to remove all old coating, to clean the roof surface and process it. Next, the roofing is performed, as described earlier. It is best to look at various educational videos about the device of a soft roof, the video will help to understand the principle of work more clearly and clearly.
Note! Overhaul is a complex process, therefore, if there is any doubt as to the independent performance, it is better to contact the professionals.
