Layout and installation of multi-layer shinglas tiles. Installation instructions for flexible tiles: the subtleties of the device. Shinglas shingles laying technology

The life of the roof without the need for repair directly depends on the choice of roofing material. Tiling is classic cover roofs of many countries at all times, it is still relevant. The closest resemblance to the real ceramic coating shinglas shingles based on bituminous binder have a flexible tile. It gives a neat and presentable appearance to the facade, retains its appearance, and also has the function of damping sounds!

What is shinglas?

Shinglas bituminous tile is a piece waterproofing and roofing material. Roof covering elements are made from oxidized or modified bitumen, mainly from European raw materials. The Shinglas technology was developed in Spain; in Russia, production is carried out by the TechnoNIKOL company under the control of the Spanish company Chova.

Main production plant soft roof is located in Ryazan. From here, durable and practical shinglas shingles are delivered all over the country.

Compound

A distinctive feature of the roof shinglas technonicol- multi-layered elements. Each sheet consists of several functional layers (from top to bottom):

Sprinkling of basalt chips or powder of different fractions. Often colored.
Bitumen modified or oxidized (depending on the series).
Fiberglass is a load-bearing strength element.
Bituminous impregnation bottom.
Self-adhesive film, which performs the function of protecting the canvas and fixing the canvas on the base.

Fiberglass ensures the strength of the tile and its integrity under any circumstances. Bituminous impregnation is resistant to weather and temperature fluctuations, and basalt powder protects the roof from overheating, melting and fading under the scorching sun. The quality of shinglas technonikol soft tiles is confirmed by certificates of compliance with established European and Russian standards, the manufacturer gives a guarantee of up to 30 years.

Advantages of Shinglas Roofing

There are many manufacturers on the market offering bitumen roofing. Why you should give preference to shinglas tiles:

absolute resistance to any weather phenomena - rains, snow covers of considerable thickness and weight, winds of any strength, summer heat and winter frost, the coating is not afraid of anything;
ease of installation of shinglas - the technology is available even to a non-professional. The design of the sheets for assembly is thought out in such a way that they are easy to lay according to simple instructions;
the environmental friendliness of the tiles is confirmed by certificates of quality and compliance with European environmental safety standards (can be requested from the manufacturer or seller);
Fire safety- bituminous products do not melt, do not support combustion and do not spread flame;
long-term operation due to high operational capacity;
acceptable cost of the material;
the minimum amount of waste during installation - about 5% with correct calculations;
with proper installation, 100% tightness of the coating is achieved, eliminating the need for arranging a separate waterproofing.

Varieties

Shinglas soft roof is available in several basic series, products in which differ in composition and design:

the number of layers;
the shape of the shingle (sheet);
ornament;
colors.

Collection Continent

The collection is named after the main continents of the planet: Europe, Asia, America, Africa, which associate the colors of the tiles. Its shape mimics stone tiles, which is very unusual for this type of material. The complex coloring and geometry of the product make the Continent Shinglas collection premium and noble.

Three-layer sheets, but no less practical and durable than multi-layer ones, the manufacturer gives a guarantee for them up to 50 years.

Collection Western

The classic form of tiles in the Western collection. This is a diamond-shaped undercut that mimics real ceramics. Canyon, Klondike, Niagara and Prairie colorways combine natural tiling with Niagara blue motifs.

In addition, the upper parts of the "tongues" protrude above the lower ones, creating the effect of volumetric coverage.

shinglas ranch

The sheets in the Ranch collection are inspired by American farmhouses. The pattern and edges of the tiled sheets are trimmed with squares. Solid colors: brown, red, gray, pink. This is the most accessible view coatings in Shinglas technology.

Country Collection

The most diverse collection of shinglas Country in terms of color schemes. The line includes cuts of the form dragon tooth, symbolizing some American states: Alabama, Atlanta, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, Ontario, Ohio, Texas, Utah. Interesting tint combinations allow you to make a choice in favor of the ideal tonality for each. The coating mimics natural coatings from natural material- shingles, slate, tree bark. Distinctive feature series products is their reduced weight while maintaining the strength and performance characteristics.

Jazz Collection

Shinglas Jazz is a multilayer tile with graphic cutting. Unlike the Ranch series, Jazz contains several colors and shades within one representative of the collection. The assembled roof plays with colors, especially in the sun.
This is one of the most popular shinglas collections with an optimal price-quality ratio.

Series Classic

Classic includes several collections, but one thing unites them - the traditional form of classical ceramic tiles.

Art Nouveau, cutting Breeze:

Tango is also an imitator of the classic roof:

Flamenco collection - embodiment classic finish building, which will give the house rigor and graphics:

The cutting of the Sonata of the Quadrille collection was created based on semiprecious stones:

Rumba collection in complex cuts and deep walnut flowers give the exterior of the house nobility and uniqueness:

Ultra Series

The tiles of this series are made on modified bitumen, so the coating has the most adaptive performance characteristics. The sophisticated Foxtrot cutting makes the coating original due to the asymmetrical chaotic pattern of the edge of the rows.

Slicing Samba is made in unique deep colors:

A series of shingles Finnish

It is the cheapest, but still durable and practical look roofing. Tiles Finnish single-layer (bituminous). It is produced in two types of trim - Accord and Sonata.

The price of Finnish shinglas does not exceed the cost metal sheets to cover the roof, so the material is available for developers with any budget.

Shinglas roof installation

Bituminous elements for roofing have considerable weight and are relatively small size, so the base must be solid. To do this, any sheet material is attached to the rafters:

OSB boards;
moisture resistant plywood;
decking from grooved boards.

On the cornice overhang of the flooring, waterproofing is made with bituminous coating, and a dropper - a metal profile - is strengthened from above.

Next, a bedding is laid on the base - a bitumen sheet, on which shinglas tiles will be glued. First, the joints of the slopes are blocked, then the canvas is spread in the direction from the lower edge to the ridge. Nails are stuffed along the edge of the rolled material to fix the bedding. Neighboring canvases must be overlapped.

Now the gables. They are fixed along the lateral free edge - the profile will close the end and protect the coating from wind and moisture.

Shinglas installation instructions

When the base is ready, you can start marking. A line is drawn horizontally along the visor with a width equal to 5 rows of sheets, vertically - 1 meter. These guidelines will help you align the canvas during installation.

First row assembly:

To decorate the cornice line, use special sheets or ordinary tiles with cut petals. Take off protective film and fasten it parallel to the eaves on the drip, stepping back from the edge of 1.5 cm. This is the size of the compensation gap.
Roofing nails along the edge of the sheet fix the first row of the coating.
Subsequent sheets overlap the previous ones.
To improve the quality of the coupling, the elements can be coated with bitumen-based adhesive mastic.

Ordinary tile:

The protective film is removed from the product.
The sheet is laid on the first row with an indent from the edge of 1.5 cm.
Each sheet is fixed with nails in such a way that the cap does not cut into the product and is covered by the top laid tiles.

These processes are described in more detail and clearly in the video:

It is important to make the correct overlap of tiles:

for the Jazz collection - 15 ... 85 cm;
Trio form - offset by ½ petal;
Tango - offset ½ petal;
Sonata - ½ petal;
cutting Accord - the right petal overlaps the joint of tiles of the adjacent row.

Valley design:

Mark the gutter.
Sheets are nailed as close as possible to the edge of the gutter and trimmed.
The edges are smeared with mastic and pressed tightly to the base.

The pediment is designed similarly to the slopes, with the difference that the extreme tiles that go to the side metal profile are smeared with mastic and glued. The connections to the pipes are treated in a similar way, a substrate is laid on them with a call to the pipe itself, it is covered with a metal design plate, and sealed.

Attached to the horse ridge profile, it is covered with tiles for the ridge.

All these processes are described in the second part of the video:

Lastly, I mount storm drains and gutters.

We carry out the installation of a soft roof brand "Shinglas", instructions from the manufacturer TECHNONICOL. This roofing is one of the modern bituminous materials, characterized by increased operational properties. The main advantages of the coating: attractiveness, good soundproofing, heat-insulating characteristics, tightness, resistance to impact natural environment, long operating period. SHINGLAS soft roof is a fairly light building material, its installation does not require the use of specialized equipment, so roofing work can be done independently.

Structure, material characteristics

Soft roof "Shinglas" is made in the form of shingles, having a figured edge in the form of petals, forming the texture of the coating, which resembles a tile. The basis for the production of roofing is a durable fiberglass canvas. The material is not afraid of moisture, temperature changes. The reinforcing base is covered on both sides with a special modified bitumen, which retains its elasticity at low temperatures. As a result, the roofing material does not crack during sudden temperature changes, at sufficiently low temperatures.

The structure of shingles "Shinglas"

The top layer is basalt powder.
Further improved bitumen.
The base is fiberglass.
Improved bitumen.
The bottom layer consists of a self-adhesive frost-resistant bitumen-polymer mass.
The protective layer is made of siliconized film, which can be easily removed.

The top layer of the material is basalt chips with a special binder. It protects bitumen from external influences natural environment, gives the surface of the roofing material an aesthetic appearance. Pigments used in manufacturing process for soft tiles "Shinglas", are characterized by increased resistance to ultraviolet rays sun.

The lower part of the shingle is processed special glue, which allows you to easily mount sheet material on a prepared roof. A special siliconized film applied to the adhesive layer of the coating protects individual shingles from contact during transportation and storage of the roofing material. The film is removed just before the shingle is laid on the roof. The adhesive used for roofing "Shinglas" retains its original performance characteristics for a sufficiently long period of time, it provides the coating with excellent sealing, does not lose elasticity at low temperatures.

How to properly lay a soft roof "Shinglas"?

First you need to accurately calculate the required amount of roofing material for the roof. To do this, you need to calculate its total area, consisting of the sum of the areas of all individual roof shapes, which can be in the form of triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, and other geometric shapes. Consumables will be needed not only for overlapping outer surface roofs, but also for the installation of the lining layer, the arrangement of adjacent structures. When performing calculations, it is imperative to determine the length of the ridge, cornices, valleys, ends, adjoining elements to attics, pipes, and other structures.

To equip the roof with flexible tiles, the following materials will also be required:

metal components of the roof structure - eaves, wind, adjoining strips with anti-corrosion coating;
bitumen-polymer mastic, which is used for gluing materials made on a bitumen basis on various surfaces;
self-adhesive backing materials made on a polyester base, treated with outer side protective decorative powder;
baseless pads, reinforced on the outside with a protective film;
galvanized roofing nails;
underlayment carpets made on the basis of polyesters with a non-slip coating of polypropylene;
lining carpet, treated on both sides with mineral dressing;
ventilation system components;
The valley carpet, made on the basis of polyester, the bitumen layer is treated with basalt dressing, is used for waterproofing on complex roofing sections, knots.

The consumption of tiles will depend on the type of cutting of the petals. The manufacturer on the packaging of the material indicated its usable area, taking into account overlaps. Depending on the shape of the shingle, soft roof waste can be up to 15%, but not less than 5%.

Need to understand! To prevent swelling of the carpet, smudges do not form, it is forbidden to add solvents to the mastic, and the material itself must be applied with a layer of up to 1 mm.

Foundation preparation

SHINGLAS roofing installation technology assumes the presence solid battens. On the rafter system flooring is made of high quality edged board, plywood, other sheet material. In order to prevent the joints of the four corners, the installation of the flooring sheets is carried out “in a run”. For their fastening, self-tapping screws, brushed nails are used. The flooring of the boards is carried out with a five-millimeter indent between the individual boards. If the arrangement of the crate is carried out in winter period, a five-millimeter gap is also made, which is necessary for the thermal expansion of structural elements in the summer.

Important! If the edged board used for arranging the sheathing of a solid type has not passed the calibration, the material must be sorted by thickness so that changes in the size of the boards are smooth after installation. Between adjacent elements, the difference should not be more than two millimeters.

When installing a high-quality edged board deck, you need to look at the rings, the convex side of which should be directed upwards. Lumber before its use must be well dried, then its deformation is unlikely. If you had to use still wet boards, then their edges must be fixed with at least two self-tapping screws. And in order for the structure to serve for the longest possible period of time, its wooden elements are treated with refractory, bioprotective agents.

roof ventilation

To function effectively, a bitumen-coated roof structure must have good ventilation throughout. The ventilation system for a soft roof is equipped in such a way that the air does not stagnate in any part of the intra-roof space. Otherwise, the accumulation of moisture in the "dead areas" will contribute to the decay of the wooden structural elements, and the insulation material will also absorb it.

The space between the waterproofing layer and the crate should be ventilated. To do this, special holes are arranged at the eaves, which, after the installation of the roof, are closed with spotlights, and exhaust holes at the ridge. To create good traction, you need to provide a pressure difference, so the hood holes are made 15 percent larger than ventilation holes. The parameters of the ventilation system channel will depend on the slope of the roof slopes. The smaller the slope of the roof, the wider the ventilation ducts.

When arranging a soft roof, it is recommended to use the material of the same batch in order to avoid sharp color differences within the roof slope during installation work. When using shingles with one color code shingles from different batches should be mixed with each other just before laying. Then the color change will not be noticeable.

Important advice! In order for the shingles to be freely separated from each other, the packaging with the roofing material must first be bent, then shaken, and only then opened.

When laying soft roofing material during the cold season, when external temperature air temperature is no more than +5°C, the packaging with the material must be stored in a warm room. And the adhesive layer of the shingle before its flooring on the roof is heated with a mounting hair dryer.

Often, when laying soft roofing, excess material has to be cut off. For this, it is recommended to use cutting tools with a well-sharpened blade, wooden planks on which the shingle will be cut.

The shingle should be stored in a dark room where direct Sun rays. This is necessary in order to prevent the adhesive from sticking to the protective film. Also at long-term storage it is forbidden to stack pallets with packed shingles on top of each other, otherwise it is also possible for the adhesive to stick to the protective film as a result of strong pressure from above.

Important to remember! The bituminous coating becomes very soft in hot summer, traces remain on it from a slight load, therefore, when performing roofing works it is recommended to use special "holes", mats made of vegetable fiber.

Conclusion

Using the instructions for installing a soft roof, all work can be done independently. And when caring for such a coating during the operational period, it is necessary to use tools that do not have sharp ends.

Surely you have seen that many buildings use soft tiles as roofing - piece material that gives the building unique look: modern, noble and visually attractive. Of course, behind this lies the work of installing tiles, since only correct installation taking into account the recommendations of the manufacturer, will enable the coating to last a long time, reliably protecting the building from negative influences environment giving it a presentable appearance. Naturally, this is the task of specialists, professional roofers successfully cope with it.

But what to do if the need arises to carry out work on their own, without the involvement of specialists? For this case, we offer you an article, after reading which you will have knowledge of how the installation of flexible tiles is carried out in practice.

The story of how the Shinglas shingles are installed should begin with a description common device roofs. In most cases, the insulated roof is a multi-layer structure, and the tiles are only the top layer.

The quality of the roof consists of several terms. As can be seen from the figure, the following are required: an air element on a ridge, thermal insulation, vapor barrier, a drainage system and wind protection.

It is possible to achieve compliance with the desired temperature and humidity conditions, which is necessary for any warm roof, only with the use of continuous vapor barrier and heat-insulating material of a certain thickness.

To simplify the perception of the material presented below, the corresponding terminology will first be given.

Top drawing:

visible part.
Overlapped fragment.
Cutout.
adhesive layer.
Tab, petal, tile.

Bottom drawing:

Frontal overhang.
The overhang is cornice.
Endova.
Ridge, rib.
Roof ridge.
Slope fracture.

In the general case, all the measures necessary for the installation of the roof are as follows:

foundation creation;
performing ventilation;
installation of lining material;
protection of the cornice and valley;
tile installation.

Foundation creation

The base is a structure that performs several functions at once. The main one is the bearing role, because it is this element that holds the weight of the layers above roofing cake. The lowest layer is a counter-lattice, which is designed to create a ventilated space and hold the elements of the batten. Installation instructions for Shinglas involve the use of a crate made from edged boards. It's great here suitable wood conifers, the thickness of which is more than 3 cm. Fastening is best done with self-tapping screws or with the help of sharp nails.

The role of the supporting structure in the construction of the roof is played by rafters, which can be located at a distance of 600 to 1500 mm. Thickness wooden flooring can also be selected taking into account the pitch of the rafters and the batten (in the table below).

Wood during operation can expand from exposure to water vapor, moisture or temperature changes, so an expansion gap is required. For a board, it is up to 5 mm, and for OSB boards 3 mm.

To create a continuous flooring, it is best to use OSB-3, FSF or boards with a moisture content of less than 20%.

When installing a soft roof with your own hands using a large-panel flooring, it is best to fasten the sheets with a run-out of seams. All wooden elements must be treated with antiseptics and flame retardants.

During the installation of wooden flooring, it is necessary to ensure that the fragments of annual wood rings visible on the ends of the boards are oriented with the convex side up. If the foundation is created using wet wood, then the ends of the edged or tongue-and-groove boards must be fixed with two self-tapping screws.

Ventilation device

In order for the roof structure to last for a long time, you will need to perform proper ventilation. Such a system above a residential attic is especially important. For normal ventilation pitched roof you will need openings for the inflow of outside air, channels for its circulation over a layer of thermal insulation material and an exhaust hood, which is usually located at the top of the roof.

Installation of a soft roof Shinglas is usually performed with supply and exhaust ventilation systems with a cross section of 1/300 to 1/500 of the total area of insulation. In order to create a reduced pressure in the attic, the amount exhaust openings should be 10 percent more than those through which air is supplied. Compliance with this rule is the key to the presence of a constant draft of air.

Sometimes this technology is difficult to use, since the cornices are hemmed with siding. In such cases, it is best to use soffit strips, which are special elements that ensure the flow of outside air.

When creating channels above thermal insulation, it must be taken into account that their minimum height should exceed 5 cm at a 20-degree angle of inclination of the slopes. If the angle is smaller, then the height should be increased to 8 cm.

Do-it-yourself installation of a soft roof should be done in such a way that there are no zones where there is still air. So-called air sacs are easy to eliminate if the air circulation scheme is properly thought out.

Installation of lining material

The technology for performing work provides for two possible options. The first of them is used if the angle of inclination of the roof is in the range from 12 to 18 degrees. Here you need a special waterproofing carpet, and in the valleys and on cornice overhangs bitumen-polymer self-adhesive material is being installed.

In the valley, it is laid on each slope of 50 cm, and on the cornice overhang, the width is made up of the size of the cornice overhang and an addition of 60 cm in the direction from the plane of the facade. Ideally, one continuous carpet without overlaps should be laid along the valley. If this cannot be done, then the size of the longitudinal overlap should be more than 30 cm.

When Shinglas flexible tiles are being installed, a special lining carpet (for example, manufactured by TechnoNIKOL) must be laid on the rest of the slope surface. Roll material stacked from top to bottom. Overlaps in the transverse direction should be more than 10 cm, and in the longitudinal direction more than 15 cm. Fastening to the base is carried out using galvanized nails with a wide hat. Nails should be placed every 25 cm.

When the slope angle is greater than 18 degrees, then it is necessary to protect those places where leaks are most likely with a waterproofing carpet. This category includes eaves and gable overhangs, slope ribs, valleys, roof outlets and skates.

The valleys and cornice overhangs are protected with a self-adhesive material of a bitumen-polymer type. Dimensions are selected as in the case of a slope angle of less than 18 degrees. Insulation of roof outlets is carried out using a lining carpet 1 m wide, fixed around the perimeter with nails. The remaining sections are covered with the same material, but 50 cm wide.

The overlapping points must be lubricated bituminous mastic(for example, FIXER mastic).

Cornices and valleys

The technology of laying Shinglas material, the installation of which can be done by hand, provides for the strengthening of roof overhangs through the use of eaves and end strips. They are laid over the lining material with an overlap (3-5 cm), and are fixed with special nails in increments of up to 15 cm in a checkerboard pattern.

Installation of material in valleys can be done open way or using the undercut method. The most preferred is the first case, when a valley carpet is mounted over the lining material. FROM reverse side it is smeared with bituminous mastic around the perimeter.

In construction, the saying about porridge and butter is not always appropriate, and roofing technology is one example of this. It is worth saying that you do not need to be zealous and waste the mastic in vain, since this will not give any effect.

Shingles installation

This procedure begins with the marking of the slope.

Professionals advise applying marking lines to the slope to make it easier to level the finish. The vertical marking step is selected in accordance with the width of the ordinary tiles, and the distance between the lines along the vertical is selected equal to the width of 5 rows.

Marking lines are just guides. They should not be considered as a guideline and tiles should not be nailed strictly according to the markup.

Installation instructions Shinglas involves the use of galvanized nails with a wide hat. Their number depends on the slope of the slope, and the reliability of fastening depends on how the nail was nailed. The correct option is shown in the figure below. The tile should be nailed at a distance of 2..3 cm from its edge, and the nail head should be in the same plane with the surface of the coating.

Laying the finish coating begins with the installation of cornice tiles, however, this line can also be made in the form of a pattern from ordinary ordinary tiles. When working on a long slope, it is best to start installation from the middle. The edge of the first row is combined with the line of the middle of the slope, and the beginning of the second row is half a petal in one direction or another. The bottom edge of the top row should be flush with the top line of cutouts in the tiles below. The third row is laid relative to the second in the same way as that relative to the first.

When installing the coating along the edges of the valley, nails can be used no closer than 30 cm from the central axis. Extra material trimmed, and its lower part is smeared with mastic.

The main points regarding Shinglas tiles were discussed above, the installation of which is easy to do on your own. In this material, the methods of arranging adjoinings were omitted, since they differ little from other technologies for installing a soft roof.

The Shinglas tile from TM TechnoNIKOL is considered a modern representative of non-rolled material for the roof. Flexible shingles are sheets 1000x317, 1000x333, 1000x335 mm, one end of which is cut out figured.

Looking at their cutting, you can guess which collection the sheet belongs to: “Chord”, “Jazz”, “Sonata”, “Tango”, “Trio”, “Country”, “Rancho”, “Finnish” or another.

Classification

When laying a soft roof Shinglas, you can pay attention to the variety of colors for the base and topping, as well as the structure (two-, three-, multilayer).

Roof covering of five layers includes:

bituminous polymer with adhesive base and film for protection;
modified bitumen;
non-woven fiberglass;
modified bitumen;
basalt sprinkle.

Specific Features of Shinglas Tiles

There are a lot of them, but the main ones can be distinguished:

The duration of operation of the coating is a quarter of a century, and for laminated representatives - half a century.
Shinglas shingles are in demand for pitched (slope over 12%), bulbous and hipped roofs.
resistance to high and low temperatures(-70̊ to +90̊).
Demanded in the construction of low-rise buildings.
Excellent sound-proofing properties in comparison with other roofing coverings.
Resistant to UV rays, strong gusts of wind, acid rain and hail.
anti-corrosion properties.
Material overrun is quite low even on notched roofs.
Ease.
Can be installed over worn bitumen coatings.
Color fastness throughout the entire operational period.
The possibility of condensation of electric charges and attraction of lightning discharges is excluded.
Excluded the possibility of fire in the event of an unexpected appearance of an open source of fire.

How to calculate the consumption rate of the material

When installing Shinglas tiles, it is important to correctly calculate the required number of shingles and accessories for it.

For this it is important to know:

lengths of end components, ridges, valley carpets, ribs, cornices, junctions;
total roof area;
perimeters of chimneys and devices for ventilation.

Materials to be used:

valley carpet;
ridge-cornice tiles;
lining carpet;
droppers, pediment strips, metal junctions;
OS HF barrier;
bituminous mastic;
galvanized roofing nails;
tiles "Jazz" or other series.

The amount of consumption of roofing material when laying Shinglas tiles for each variety is calculated individually.

Preliminary preparation of the base

material for load-bearing structures wood, metal and reinforced concrete can act. When choosing rafters, it is necessary to pay attention to the shape of the roof and the possible load. The pitch width of the rafters is in the range of 0.6–1.5 m. Moisture-resistant plywood, boards (edged / tongue-and-groove), oriented strand boards are most often used as a coating.

With a small rafter pitch, these materials are chosen from among the more reliable ones (with a thickness of 12 to 37 mm). Their installation is carried out in such a way that the height difference does not exceed two millimeters, and the gap between the boards - five millimeters, between the sheets - three millimeters. All wooden rafters, boards must be impregnated with fire-retardant compounds.

How to strengthen the cornice overhang

To do this, it is necessary to impose on the lining carpet cornice planks, which are fixed in areas after 15-20 cm evenly, at the overlap point - after 3 cm, and then covered with ridge-cornice tiles.

Construction mastic is useful for smearing the edges of sheets.

How to install underlayment

If the roof slope exceeds 18̊ C, then the Shinglas laying technology is as follows:

Skates cover 0.5 m in width.
Overhangs (cornice, end) - by 0.4 m.

If the slope of the roof is less than 18̊ C, then:

The entire surface is to be covered.
Rolls must be laid from the bottom up, keeping parallel with the cornice overhangs.
Lubricate the overlaps with mastic.
Keep the fastening step -20 cm.

How to strengthen gable overhangs

With the help of end strips, which must be smeared with mastic before installation and installed on the lining layer. Before laying shingles, trim the top corners.

How to prepare valleys

The procedure is interconnected with the installation method: open or by cutting. Regardless of the method and slope, in the valleys, the “OS HF Barrier” is laid with a meter width − bitumen-polymer material self-adhesive.

If applicable public method, then a meter-wide valley carpet is laid on top of this layer, and the edges of the sheets are smeared with mastic and fastened with nails. In hot climates, the valley carpet can be replaced with a metal sheet that is resistant to corrosion.

How to mark a roof slope

With chalk. When inserting an attic or dormer window the procedure starts from the center of the upper part of the opening. The main task when marking the roof slope is precisely the alignment of the shingles, and not the designation of their attachment points. It is important to remember that vertical signs are placed after one meter, and horizontal signs after 80 cm.

Shinglas flexible roof installation

Before proceeding with the installation of Shinglas soft tiles, you need to remember the general tips:

In order for the shingles in the package to be easily separated, bend the container and shake it.
If it's cold outside, then flexible roof must be kept warm for 24 hours before installation.
Heat up the self-adhesive strip building hair dryer.
Before starting work, remove the protective film.
If you want to keep the color scheme of the tiles, remove the shingles one by one from different packages.
When shingles are being cut, be sure to underlay a board so as not to damage the undercoat.
Laying shingles Shinglas is carried out from the bottom up.

How to fix ordinary shingles Shinglas

If the roof slope is less than 45̊, then four nails are needed to secure the shingle.
If the slope is greater, then the number of fasteners increases to six.

What is the starting strip for editing

She is ridge eaves tiles or shingle with cut protruding petals. The starting strip is fixed with nails, and those places where there is no adhesive layer should be covered with mastic.

How to mount the 1st, 2nd and next rows of coating

The first one is laid, retreating a couple of centimeters from the starting strip and the middle of the cornice towards the gables. Each subsequent row is placed, shifted so that a high-quality picture is obtained according to the finished project.

Valley laying technology

This procedure is performed in several ways:

"Open". The sheets are placed on the valley carpet and cut in such a way that a gutter of 5-15 cm is formed. In the case of heavy leaf fall, the maximum width of the gutter can be provided.

"Undercut". This method is in demand if the slopes have different angles of inclination. So, at a small angle, it is necessary to cover with shingles so that they are superimposed on a steeper slope by a value of 30 cm. The top of the sheets is fastened with nails. Next, the Shinglas shingles are being installed on a slope with a large angle of inclination. Having indented 8 cm from the center of the valley, you need to beat off the chalk line and remove the excess. Treat the ends of the sheets with mastic, and cut off the corners at the top. See also: "".

How to prepare the ribs of skates and skates

To perform this procedure, you can use several technologies:

With the help of a ridge-eaves coating. According to the existing perforation, the roof is divided into three parts. Installation is carried out from below, and when preparing the skates, it is necessary to take into account the direction of the priority winds, so the device is done on the opposite side. Ordinary sheets can be used in other forms of cutting. To facilitate the process of bending shingles at a specific angle, some craftsmen prefer heated pipes with a diameter of 10 mm.

In a segmental way, which is only suitable for curved surfaces. First, a lining carpet is placed on the roof of Shinglas technonikol and markings are made on it. The surface segments are covered with shingles, and the joints are insulated with eaves and ridge tiles.

in a seamless way. This technology involves the placement of a lining carpet with a step marking corresponding to a half of a tile petal. The dividing strips must be drawn to the top, and the shingles should be divided into petals, laying the initial row of the roof in this way. Each subsequent one is shifted by the width of half of the petal.

Connection preparation:

To Wall. This procedure includes plastering the wall and coating it with a primer. Next, a rail with a triangular cross section is installed on it, on which the shingle is wound. Then the valley carpet must be cut into 50 cm strips, covered with mastic and placed on the junction. At the same time, 30 cm or more of carpet should lie on the wall, top part which is fastened with a metal apron. Existing gaps must be sealed with sealant.

To the chimney. If it is brick, then the sequence of actions is identical to the scheme with the wall. The connection to the chimneys is distinguished by the need to cut out a pattern from the valley and prepare a groove for the outlet of waste water.

What are considered passing elements

These are special devices that are attached to the tiles with nails. On top of them you need to lay sheets, cut and isolate with mastic. Then, on the through elements, mount roof outlets, which are classified as non-insulated (for southern regions) and insulated with polyurethane (for northern ones).

Pass-through elements can be sealed with:

Shaped rubber parts made of EPDM. They have found application as accessories for pipes with a cross section of 10-250 mm. First horizontal surface it is necessary to cover with mastic and put a pattern of shingles on top. Tighten the top of the fitting with a metal clamp and apply a polyurethane or polysulfide sealant.

A glass made of steel, which is in demand for tubular products with a diameter of less than 10 mm, etc. The device is installed on a lining carpet. Warm mastic should be applied on top and bottom of the glass, and on top of it - cut sheets for tight contact. The steel product must be filled to the middle mounting foam, then a sealant made of polyurethane or thiokol. In case of stable heating of pipes, it will be necessary to install a box with mineral insulation incombustible properties. This procedure for joining the box resembles a scheme for the wall.

Roof maintenance

Not only the qualified installation of the Shinglas soft roof is important, but also proper care for her. Despite the fact that the coating of shingles is easy to maintain, it still needs timely seasonal inspections. Particular attention should be paid to skates, valley carpet, walkways and junctions. This is the only way to detect possible damage and eliminate them at the initial stages.

Roof maintenance includes cleaning of dirt, debris, various seeds to avoid the appearance of mosses, lichens and various plants on its surface. Snow removal required.

Repair

The procedure is simple, representing the replacement of damaged sections of the roof with new ones or the usual application of patches. Repairs can be done independently by heating new pieces with a building hair dryer, and then fixing them with nails and mastic. The patch should be ten centimeters larger than the destroyed place.

Knowing now how to lay Shinglas tiles, you will ensure long-term operation and beauty of the building, save money without sacrificing quality, and using a variety of colors and figured cutting, give wide scope to your creative inventions.

Modern flexible tile is a unique roofing material with which you can realize any architectural idea, revive the country house and give elitism country cottage. And in this article we will consider all the advantages and disadvantages of the popular shingles. domestic production, which comes from the Shinglas brand.

To begin with, you will be interested to know that the popular Shinglas soft roof is Russian-made. It is produced by a manufacturer of various building materials TechnoNIKOL, which is known to many for roll-on welded roofing. And here the rule no longer works that domestic is always worse than foreign. Why? Now we'll figure it all out!

What is a flexible tile Shinglas?

So, let's first deal with the concepts so that you can understand what will be discussed next. So, the basis of the Shinglas tile is fiberglass, which provides the roofing material with sufficient elasticity and density. It is clear that the elasticity parameter directly affects the flexibility of the tile, and the final quality of the product depends on the density.

The base of the tile is covered on both sides with layers of bitumen (which is why it is called soft tiles- bituminous). The quality of the layer affects the elasticity of the material, wear resistance and water permeability. Next, the top and bottom layers of shingles. The top one is covered with basalt chips, which makes the product resistant to any weather conditions, plus decorative effect. And the lower layer of the tile is covered with a polymer mass and a protective layer, which should prevent further destruction of the roof sheets if some violations of the technology were made during the installation.

There is an adhesive strip underneath. Moreover, this is not just glue - it is a frost-resistant polymer mass that covers up to 60% of the shingle area and ensures reliable laying of roofing material. And finally, the protective layer is a silicone easily removable film that protects the sheets from sticking together.

As a topping for this tile, a special granulate is used, which is produced by Tegola. This is a basalt crumb of three fractions at once, i.e. The raw material used is the most durable and strong rock, which is not afraid of any weather. And the granulate itself is pre-painted by high-temperature firing, so that the roofing does not change its color throughout the entire service life.

The main advantages of Shinglas

The main advantage of domestic shingles Shinglas is 100% tightness. But, of course, other indicators are also pleasing:

Flexibility that allows you to equip the roof of the most complex configuration - from almost flat surfaces with a 12 ° slope to intricate domes.
Light weight, and therefore there is no need to strengthen the rafters.
Biological stability - neither corrosion nor decay threatens such a roof.
Absolute water resistance and frost resistance. Such a roof does not absorb water at all due to its non-porous structure.
Wind resistance is a wonderful roofing quality for the windiest areas, where ordinary corrugated board breaks in one jerk.
Chemical resistance. Shinglas tile, thanks to its dressing and protective layers, easily tolerates both acid rain and salt ingress.
Practical and cost-effective: low waste even at the most complex sites, affordable price and compactness valuable for transportation.

Impressive? But all this is due to the special production technology of Shinglas. And the new collection of three-layer tiles conquers at all:

Shinglas soft roof collections

Total to create various combinations Shinglas soft tiles are used in 22 colors, several types of shingle cuts and options for the number of layers. For example, the most popular TechnoNIKOL Shinglas series are Jazz and Country. New - two-layer tile"Rancho" and three-layer "Continent".

All series of flexible shingles Shinglas mainly differ in the mass of bitumen used and in the quality and color of the dressing. So, for example, the series "Ranch" is distinguished by simple colors, and "Jazz" and Country" are already for real connoisseurs of design, because they use more expensive dressing and the ability to create a bright pattern. As for the thickness of bitumen, it grows from the Ranch series to Jazz, which is why there is a difference in price.

If you are looking for a roofing material with soft, natural shades that will never go out of style, pay attention to the Country series. Here are seven model lines that bear the names of American states.

Tiles of the "Ultra" series are different unusual shapes and visible bright colors- blue, gray, green, red and brown. Such a roof is good for implementing a variety of design ideas.

But the Jazz series presents 7 types of spectacular imitation of a variety of architectural styles– from classic to modern. The thickness of this tile is quite large, and therefore the quality is one of the best series presented.

But we will talk about collections not only from the design side (color, texture, cutting), but also from the side of quality and durability. Therefore, all Shinglas collections are divided into three main groups: single-layer, two-layer and three-layer.

Single-layer tile Shinglas: neat style and practicality

A single-layer tile, as you already understood from the name, is a shingle glued to a solid base. The volume of such a roofing imitates a specially applied shadow. It looks good, and the only question is practicality.

Pay attention to the Samba series, which compares favorably with its bright colors:

On Jive, which is made according to noble classical motives:

And the popular quadrille:

Two-layer shingles Shinglas: 3D effect of volume

The multi-layer tile has best quality, rich in color solutions, leaves almost no waste and is easy to install. Such a tile will cost you 20-30% more than a regular single-layer one, but there are reasons for this. The main difference is in the manufacturing technology. In this case, several sheets of soft tiles are used, which are interconnected with bituminous mastic. Of course, the result is a completely new level of quality.

So, the advantages of a double tile are as follows:

Durability. The warranty period for such a product is two to three times higher than for ordinary single-layer tiles.
Reliability. It is clear that two layers of any material in terms of their technical performance are at least twice as good as one layer.
Strength. It is no longer easy to damage such a roof, and certainly not an apple that has fallen from a tree.
Ease of installation. Here, the layers are glued together in the factory, and therefore they do not need to be combined on the spot. This is a valuable item, as not all of us are aesthetes and not all of us have such a good eye to perfectly combine segments of different colors with each other.
Design. Now you can see the volume, texture, and texture. Such a roof looks much more spectacular and more expensive than just a flat pasted image, even with a shadow. This type of soft roof is already more realistically called a tile, and not its imitation.

They love double-layer tiles and professional designers exterior - for its volume, richness of color and texture. And for the fact that with its help it is quite easy to hide any flaws in the roof.

And two-layer shingles are almost indispensable when you need to cover the roof. complex shape, with all kinds of turrets and pediments. But we know that modern architects have unlimited imagination!

Three-layer tile Shinglas: a new word in construction!

These tiles are the roofing of the future! First, the top third layer serves as an additional mechanical protection roofs, and secondly, it allows you to achieve a stunning three-dimensional effect. See for yourself:

Subtleties and nuances of installation

Shinglas products can cover the roof even with a slope of less than 11 °, not to mention other angles of inclination. Moreover, it is possible to carry out the installation of this soft tile even in the cold season - you just need to hold the rolls in a warm room in advance so that they can be straightened.

What is good, the manufacturer TechnoNIKOL made sure that the adhesive base does not change its properties even when sub-zero temperature. Therefore, it is possible to work with Shinglas tiles at negative temperatures, only you have to heat up the adhesive strip with a building hair dryer if the temperature drops below + 10 ° C.

And now let's take a closer look at all the subtleties and nuances of working with this roofing.

What will you have to deal with?

At the moment, many promotions from TechnoNIKOL are being held in Russia, where detailed master classes are held on the installation of soft tiles. As a result, sales increase significantly, because any person is inclined to purchase what he has already figured out in reality. And therefore, even in the remote corners of Russia, you can find old houses with new soft tiles - marketing is doing its job. But let's talk about the cons.

A significant disadvantage of Shinglas soft tiles from TechnoNIKOL, which can spoil the whole impression, is the need to choose colors yourself. Moreover, if you bought some series you liked at the same time, and then considered that it wasn’t enough, and after six months or a year you bought the same one, you can’t put them together. Because the shades will already be different, which will become noticeable. In addition, they come across different sometimes even in the same pack!

True, nimble consumers have found a way out. We buy 4-5 packs and just mix the colors. It turns out stylish, and no one will notice the difference. You have to be a designer! But many other manufacturers supply their products with ready-made colors, over which you do not need to rack your brains. Although who likes what.

Preparatory work

So, first of all, solve the issue of ventilation. So, if under the roof there will be only non-residential attic, without ventilation is indispensable. This is important so that hot air does not collect under the roof in summer, and humidity can freely escape. You don’t want the rafters to get damp in just a couple of years, do you? Therefore, be sure to put it above the level of the skate ventilation pipe. The fact is that shingles are almost as vapor-tight as roofing material.

If there is no need for waterproofing, then the vapor barrier cannot be forgotten - just stretch the film from the inside, under the roof.

Choosing a base

But what do you need to glue flexible tiles? For this purpose, even planed boards, OSB boards and moisture-resistant plywood are quite suitable. Such materials are not only durable, but also hold dynamic loads from nails well. But the usual lining cannot be used - it is easily split by thick nails, which have to be used to fasten the tiles. Moreover, plywood, due to its structure, in practice turns out to be much stronger than an ordinary board of the same thickness.

In any case, the main requirements for the base under the tiles are as follows:

Absolute dryness - otherwise, then all the tiles will walk, and the solution to this problem will not be cheap.
Rigidity - no deflection!
Perfect evenness - such that the maximum difference in height is within one square meter must not exceed 2 mm!
Strength. Yes, shingles are light, but you can't forget about the snow, right? Remember how hard it is to remove snow on heavy days, and now imagine how much pressure it exerts with a layer of only 30 cm!

Make the rafter step 50 cm if you use a solid board, and 90 cm if you have plywood. Here is a good example:

Mounting technology

So, we proceed to laying the Shinglas soft roof, having previously laid a lining carpet on the finished base. In principle, any of the proposed modern market, but TechnoNIKOL itself advises taking Anderep Barrier or Anderep Prof brand carpets, because. they have a special propylene protective layer.

Although there is such a practice when the lining carpet is not laid over the entire roof, but only in the most problematic places - where there are junctions, around skylights and pipes:

But it’s better to do everything from the very beginning technologically correctly:

Step 1. First, lay the lining carpet in the valley and fix with nails in 20 cm increments, and then mount in rows from the bottom up - so that they are parallel to the eaves, with an overlap of 10 cm in the longitudinal position and 20 cm in the transverse position.
Step 2. Fix all edges of the lining carpet with nails at 15 cm intervals, glue the seams with K-36 glue, and leave an additional overlap of 15 cm on the carpet in the valleys.
Step 3. Installation of the Shinglas soft roof according to the rules is carried out from the bottom up, over the entire surface of the slopes. Then we glue and nail the tile itself.
Step 4. Do not forget to remove the protective film from each tile. And that part of the tile that will be close to gable overhang, additionally treat with special glue or mastic with a layer width of up to 12 cm.
Step 5. We close the ridge with cornice tiles.
Step 6. And now it is important to protect the edges of the base from rain and snow. Therefore, we mount metal cornice strips. They need to be laid with an overlap of 5 cm and hammered with three nails so that they flash through both planks. Fasten in a zigzag pattern, in 10 cm increments.
Step 7. To protect the laid soft tiles from moisture during rain, lay an additional valley carpet along the valleys. Glue it along the edges and fix it with roofing nails in 10 cm increments.
Step 8. If the angle of the roof slope is less than 12 °, then, in order to avoid leaks, lay the self-adhesive lining carpet in two layers, and increase the ventilation gap between the wooden base and the insulation to 80 mm.

We offer you two detailed master classes that will clearly explain everything to you:

That's all the difficulty. Feel free to purchase domestic tiles, and perform installation in accordance with all the rules. Then the result will surely please!
