The frame house roof: requirements for installation

Building a flat roof of the frame house

Building the roof of the house can have a wide variety of options. Its shape, type of construction, parameters depend on the characteristics of the building itself. It is important to determine the height and angle of inclination.
Before the beginning of construction it is necessary to make a drawing scheme of a roof, to calculate the amount of necessary material( it is necessary to take into account the errors and take it with reserve when buying).The construction consists of the following stages:

1. The rafters are constructed. They are fastened with high quality nails, self-tapping screws, metal plates and fixing corners
2. The intermediate step of the boards is calculated depending on the parameters of the rack( often the step is 40-100 centimeters).
3. The spatial span is determined by the cross-section of the beams used( by standards, this is 2.5-5meters)
4. Mauerlat is selected, support rafters. Its optimal cross section is 10 by 10 centimeters. Mauerlat fixed firmly enough
5. The rafters are fastened with toothed slats
6. For 5-meter spans, the support for the
7. rafter is selected. The option of the crate is selected. Its type depends on the roofing flooring: corrugated board, slate, tile, ondulin. Sparse and continuous crate can be used. A common material for the erection of the roof is a metal profile. When using it, the step of the battens is half a meter. The lining is constructed from a wooden beam of 5 to 5 centimeters.

Arrangement of rafters for frame structures

For the construction of rafters, wooden beams are used. Their span corresponds to the intermediate span of the frame supports of the building wall panels. It is important to pay attention not only to the distance between the beams - careful selection is given to the type of roofing to be installed. Rafters are installed, mainly for a roof of two ramps. It is easy to design and may not require the involvement of specialist services. Flat roof is more difficult to erect - its rafters have a large weight load.

The choice of the parameters of the step and section of wooden beams

The roof of the frame house has a wooden ceiling made of beams. They do not represent a significant load. On the contrary, they are distinguished by their high strength and impeccable quality.

The frame structure can withstand an average pressure of 200 kilograms per square meter.

The technology of laying beams looks like this: they are fixed independently on a small
stepping section, the span of the beams determines the pitch of the frame support.

Span is determined by:

• roof load;
• allowable spans;
• parameters of beams;
• building materials roof;
• properties of the heating layer.

Construction of pitched and flat roofs

The shape of the roof depends on the preferences. It can be flat and pitched. They have the following properties:

1. The simple roof device has a low slope. Its application is common in economic, garage buildings. The construction of a flat roof can have superstructures in the form of terraces. There are types of roofs:
   • single-pit;
   • dual-track;
   • complex, multi-slope roofs.

   

2. Roofs with ramps are more often used for prefabricated buildings. They do not exert much stress on the supporting beams. This roof allows to equip the internal space with heating and necessary residential elements. Pitched roofs are:
   • simple;
   • four-slope.

   Pitched roofs are difficult to install. Their arrangement takes place according to a predefined form.

What coatings to use for the frame house roof?

Common materials are flexible and metal. It has the following properties:

• Light weight;
• Strength;
• Easy installation;
• The ability to undergo mechanical and natural stress without damage;
• Aesthetic appearance;
• Long-term operation.

Soft tiles are placed in the category of soft funds for roof construction. It is fixed with bitumen means. The tile has a reliable protective layer of mineral shavings. Its structure is characterized by positive qualities, distinguish:

• High level of sound insulation;
• Ability to withstand corrosion;
• Absence of sensitivity to climatic changes;
• Portability of snow precipitation, wind gusts;
• High level of waterproofing;
• Easy to install;
• Budget, nice value for money;
• Resistance to sunlight, excellent tolerance of ultraviolet rays.
