The use of flexible tiles allows to give any structure a stylish and modern look. You can do the work yourself: difficulties in laying insulation layers, roofing material will not arise. The complexity and duration of work depends only on the shape of the roof, its size and design.

Roof construction scheme of soft roofing
How does the installation of flexible roof tiles begin?
For laying bituminous shingles with their own hands, you will need to create a solid foundation - a rafter structure. It is made of a bar with dimensions of 150x50 mm. The distance between the neighboring rafters is about 60 cm. The arrangement of the elements determines the future construction of the roof. But regardless of the size or angle of the ramp, the installation of a soft roof will be carried out without any problems. After the construction of the truss system or before assembling the structure, it is recommended that the sawn timber be treated with an antiseptic.
The next stage is the vapor barrier of the roof. Installation of the layer is made from the attic( mansard) room. Fastening of the roll material starts from the ridge, parallel to the cornice.
To the rafters the layer is attached with a construction stapler. Each new layer is superimposed on the previous by overlapping of the order of 10-15 cm. The joints are fixed with a foil tape.
Heat insulation of soft roof
The laying of the mineral wool insulation is carried out from the outside. The first layer of insulation sheets will be between the rafters( perpendicular to the cornice).Before they are laid, you will need to make a black lining from the attic space. The optimum thickness of the layer of insulation for the central region of Russia is about 15-20 cm( 2 sheets of insulation).
Then the counterbour is installed 50x50 mm in 60 cm increments. A second parallel curtain layer is laid( enough thickness of 5 cm).
Such a two-level laying of insulation almost completely eliminates cold bridges.
The layer of the parodiffusion membrane is fixed on top of the heater. Such a "multilayered" installation of a soft roof with its own hands will exclude the ingress of dust onto the minnow, will prevent the accumulation of deposits on the insulation.
The material is laid parallel to the cornice with an overlap of the layers of 10-15 cm. In addition, about 15-20 cm of the membrane should extend beyond the heating circuit. The material is fastened with a construction stapler, the joints are connected by a self-adhesive tape.
Ventilation chamber preparation and installation of flexible shingles
The ventilation layer between the base of the roof and the heater must be at least 5 cm. This is sufficient for normalizing the temperature and removing wet steam. The second layer of the counter-brus is mounted parallel to the rafters.
For work used lumber with the parameters of 5x5 cm, the distance between adjacent supports is 30 cm. The fastening is made with breaks of 5-10 cm, as shown in the attached photos. Further work on the arrangement and installation of the roof of soft tiles is carried out according to the following step-by-step instructions:
1. A moisture-resistant OSB plate( with a gap of 3-4 mm between the sheets, excluding the difference in height of 2 mm) is fixed on the counter-brus.
2. Hooks are installed under the gutter at a distance of 60 cm for steel elements or 30 for copper. Installation of a gutter, a drip cap, and plugs is carried out. Mounted funnel and the gutter itself. More details about the installation of the gutter.
3. The installation of waterproofing material( transverse overlapping - 20 cm, longitudinal - 10 cm) with sealing of the seams with bituminous mastic.
4. The roofing is done, the soft roofing is laid and fixed with zinced nails.
5. Laying of ridge elements from bitumen shingles is carried out.
In order for the soft roof installation to be carried out to be correct, it is recommended to study the video attached to the article in addition. In the lesson, the rules of fastening materials, the specifics of their methods of laying, are described in detail.
Completion of work
The installation technology in question can include different types of roof ventilation: aerators( special or standard), ventilation grilles or hinges, ventilation hoods on towers, ventilation outlets, turbines, soffits.
The closures to the walls and chimney of the upper( or upper and lower) slats are closed. Installation of an attic window with external waterproofing is carried out, a protective cap is mounted on the chimney pipe. The hemming of pediments and cornices is carried out by soffits, installation of snow holders is carried out. Each of the described stages is discussed in detail in the attached video on the installation of flexible tiles.
