Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS)

The main elements to ensure the normal temperature and humidity regime of the roof are vapor barrier, insulation of the required thickness (depending on the region), windproof material, ventilated under-roof space.

Flexible shingles with the same color codes and manufacturing dates should be used on the same roof. Shades of shingles from different batches may vary slightly. To avoid color imbalance, Euromet specialists recommend mixing tiles from several packages before installation. To make it easier to separate the shingles from each other, the package can be slightly bent and shaken before opening.

If the roof is being installed at a temperature below +5°C, the tiles must be stored in a warm room before installation. The self-adhesive layer of the material must be heated with a thermal (construction) hair dryer.

When cutting a soft roof, a special board should be placed under it so as not to damage the bottom coating.

During storage, Shinglas bituminous tiles should be protected from direct sunlight, since under their influence the adhesive layer can sinter with the protective film. Pallets with material cannot be stacked on top of each other.

You should not walk on the roofing in sunny and hot weather, it may leave marks and stains from shoes. It is recommended to move along the roof using special manholes.

Materials used

Flexible tile SHINGLAS differs from similar products of other Russian manufacturers in a wide range of colors and cutting shapes. Currently, about 50 different models of Shinglas shingles are presented on the domestic market.

Self-adhesive backing materials:

• ANDEREP ULTRA is a high strength, self-adhesive underlayment. High reliability of the material is achieved due to a strong polyester base and high-quality bitumen-polymer binder. The upper protective layer of the lining carpet is made of fine-grained sandy dressing.
• ANDEREP BARRIER is a baseless self-adhesive material. A thick reinforcing film is used as the top protective layer. The absence of a base allows you to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing material in case of deformation of the base.

Lining materials with mechanical fixation:

• ANDEREP PROF has a durable polyester backing and a non-slip polypropylene top cover. Thanks to a special bitumen-polymer mixture, the material can “self-heal”, that is, it maintains tightness at the points where nails enter.
• ANDEREP GL is a lining material with two-sided protection of the polymer mixture by layers of fine-grained sandy dressing.

Valley carpet TechnoNIKOL

The TechnoNIKOL valley carpet is a rolled bitumen-polymer material. Made on the basis of polyester, has a protective coating of coarse-grained basalt granulate. It is used as a waterproofing layer in valleys and places that are subjected to the greatest loads.

Adjoining planks, eaves and gable overhangs

Metal elements with a special protective (anti-corrosion) coating.

roofing nails

Special galvanized nails are used. The diameter of the nail leg is from 3 mm, the caps are from 9 mm, the length is 25-30 mm.

Mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

Bitumen-polymer mastic for gluing shingles and other bitumen-based materials to various surfaces.

Ventilation elementsTechnoNIKOL

Elements for equipping the required number of supply and exhaust openings that provide under-roof ventilation.

Consumption of roofing material

Tiling. Each package of the Shinglas soft roof of the "Country" and "Jazz" series contains a quantity of tiles sufficient to cover 2 m 2 of the roof (including overlaps). In packages of Shinglas shingles - per 3 m2 of roofing. The calculation of the amount of material should be made taking into account the coefficient, the value of which depends on the complexity of the roof. The waste rate of bituminous tiles with the forms of cutting "Accord", "Sonata", "Dragon's tooth" together with ridge-cornice tiles is up to 5%. For the rest of the tiles, when calculating the amount of material, a waste rate of 10-15% should be taken into account (including the consumption for the starting strip, ridges and roof ribs).

Roofing nails. The required number of roofing nails is determined at the rate of approximately 80 g per 1 m 2 of the roof.

Mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER). 400 g of mastic per 1 rm is spent on the valley carpet, 100 g per 1 rm on the end parts, about 750 g per 1 rm for sealing the joints. 1 mm, this can lead to smudges and swelling of the material.

Preparing the roof base for installation

1. Device for laying under flexible tiles

Quite strict requirements are imposed on the base for soft tiles. It must be rigid, solid and even (differences in height of no more than 1-2 mm are allowed). Large-panel flooring is laid with a spacing of seams; self-tapping screws or nailed nails are used to fix it. When installing wooden flooring, you need to pay attention to fragments of annual rings and lay the material so that they are facing downwards with bulges. If the installation of the base from OSB-3 or plywood is carried out in the cold season, a gap of 3 mm should be left between the sheets. This will avoid deformation of the flooring during the thermal expansion of the material in the summer.

Before installing the plank flooring, it is necessary to pre-sort the boards by thickness. They are laid so that the thickness of the base changes gradually. At the same time, thicker boards are laid closer to the eaves, and thinner ones near the ridge. The joints of the boards should be located on supports, in these places the boards are fixed with at least 4 nails. If wet wood is used, the boards are fixed with 2 self-tapping screws on each side.

2. Strengthening the cornice overhang

To reinforce the cornice overhang, metal cornice strips are used. These elements protect the roofing material in the eaves zone from the effects of precipitation. Cornice strips are attached to the edge of a solid base with roofing nails. Nails are hammered in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 12-15 cm from each other. The planks are overlapped, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm. In the places of overlaps, nails are hammered in increments of 2-3 cm.

3. Installation of underlayment

The lining carpet for any slope of the roof is mounted over its entire area. In the area of ​​​​cornice overhangs and in valleys, ANDEREP self-adhesive lining material or other similar material is laid. It serves as an additional protective coating in areas of the most probable leaks.

On eaves overhangs, the width of the self-adhesive underlayment must be 60 cm greater than the width of the eaves. The width of the eave projection is measured from the plane of the inner side of the outer wall of the building, as shown in the figure. The bottom edge of the carpet should be 2-3 cm above the edge of the eaves strip.

In the valleys, a self-adhesive lining carpet 1 m wide is laid (each slope is covered by 50 cm). It is desirable that the carpet be continuous along the entire length of the valley. In the case of using two or more canvases, they are overlapped. The width of the overlaps should be 30 cm, the seams must be carefully glued.

The lining material with mechanical fixation ANDEREP or other similar material is mounted on the rest of the roof surface. Cloths are laid parallel to the cornice overhang. The installation of the lining carpet starts from the bottom of the roof slope and gradually moves up to the ridge. The width of the overlaps in the longitudinal direction must be 10 cm. The exception is organic backing materials (eg BiCARD). For them, when laying on a roof slope with a slope of up to 30 °, the width of the overlaps should be 60 cm, and if the slope is more than 30 ° - 10 cm. The overlaps of the sheets in the transverse direction are made 15 cm wide.

The lining carpet is fixed with wide-head galvanized nails, the nails are hammered at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. Places of overlaps to a width of 8-10 cm are smeared with TechnoNICOL No. 23 mastic.

Note. When installing shingles SHINGLAS with “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Trio”, “Beaver tail” cutting shapes, it is allowed to mount the lining material only in places where leaks are most likely. It is laid in strips 50 cm wide along the perimeter of the roof (and along the cornice overhangs up to 60 cm above the plane of the inner surface of the walls, see Fig.), 1 m wide in the valleys, 50 cm along the perimeter of the roof windows and 1x1 m around the passage elements. The terms and conditions of the warranty are subject to change and become the same as for products from other manufacturers. The climate in different regions of Russia differs significantly, therefore this note does not apply to all regions, but only to the Central Federal District, the Southern Federal District, the Volga Federal District, the Northwestern Federal District and the Northwestern Federal District.

4. Strengthening the gable overhangs

To strengthen the gable overhangs, metal end strips are used. They are fixed over the lining material with roofing nails in increments of 12-15 cm, the nails are hammered in a checkerboard pattern. The end planks are overlapped, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm, in these places the nails are hammered in after 2-3 cm.

5. Preparing the valley

There are two ways to install Shinglas soft roof in valleys - open and "undercut" method. The preparation of the valley depends on which method will be used.

Along the axis of the valley (1), a TechnoNICOL valley carpet (3) is laid over the self-adhesive lining material (2) with a horizontal offset of 2-3 cm. On the underside, the valley carpet along the perimeter 10 cm from the edge is smeared with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic. When using the open method of arranging the valley, the valley carpet can be replaced with a metal strip with an anti-corrosion coating. This replacement is appropriate for regions with a hot climate. The valley carpet (or metal strip) is fixed with roofing nails, they are hammered at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge of the material in increments of 20-25 cm. It is desirable to lay a continuous (without overlap) valley carpet along the entire length of the valley. If this is not possible, parts of the carpet are overlapped. Overlaps are made 30 cm wide, the material in these places must be carefully glued.

When constructing a valley using the “undercutting” method, it is not necessary to mount the valley carpet.

6. Marking the roof slope

The markings are guide lines that, when laying soft tiles, help align it vertically and horizontally. This is especially true in the case of irregular geometry of the roof slope and the presence of any structures embedded in the roof. Vertical lines are applied in increments equal to the shingle width of an ordinary tile. 5 rows of material should be placed between the horizontal lines, so they are applied approximately 80 cm apart. It should be remembered that the marking performs only a guiding function, and is not a guideline for fixing the bituminous roof.

Installation of a soft roof Shinglas

Prior to installation, shingles from several packages are mixed or sheets are taken from them one by one.

If Shinglas is to be laid at a low temperature (below +5°C), the packages must be placed in a warm room (+20°C) for at least a day in advance. From there, several packages are served immediately before starting work. The self-adhesive strip on the tiles should be heated with a thermal (construction) hair dryer.

When working on a roof, the material should be cut on an underlay board so as not to damage the underlying roofing.

In sunny and hot weather, you should not walk on the laid roofing, as marks and stains may remain on it. You need to move along the roof through special manholes.

2. Rules for fixing ordinary tiles

Each tile shingle is fixed to the base with wide-head galvanized nails. The number of fasteners depends on the angle of inclination of the roof slope. With a slope of up to 45 °, each shingle is nailed with four nails, more than 45 ° - with six nails. Nails should be placed evenly and hammered in so that the caps do not cut into the surface of the soft roof, but are in the same plane with it (see Fig.).

The location of the fasteners for all forms of Shinglas cutting is shown in the figure. On both sides, the shingles are nailed at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge.

3. Starting strip

For the starting strip, universal ridge-cornice shingles or shingles of ordinary soft shingles with cut petals are used.

Ridge-cornice bituminous shingles are used as a starting strip when laying Shinglas with “Accord” and “Sonata” cutting shapes. It is laid on top of the cornice strips 1-2 cm above their inflection (see Fig.). The width of the indent from the bend of the cornice strips depends on the angle of the slope and the length of the roof slope. The longer and steeper the slope, the wider the indent should be.

When installing flexible shingles Shinglas with cutting forms "Beaver Tail", "Trio", "Accord", "Sonata", shingles with cut petals are used for the starting strip. Before laying, their lower side in places where there is no adhesive layer should be smeared with TechnoNIKOL mastic. Patterns from ordinary tiles are mounted in the same way as ridge-eaves tiles.

The starting strip for sheets with the “Dragon tooth” cutting shape is made from shingles of an ordinary tile, it is not necessary to cut them. Their laying is carried out similarly to ridge-eaves tiles.

4. Laying the first, second and subsequent rows of tiles

On long roof slopes, it is recommended to start laying the material from the middle of the slope, this will facilitate its horizontal leveling. 1-2 cm recede from the initial (central) strip and the first shingle is mounted (see Fig.). At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that the junction of the shingles of the first row of tiles does not coincide with the junction of the elements of the starting strip.

Mounting must be done with diagonal stripes (see fig.).

Depending on the shape of the cut, the laying of soft roofing can be carried out in diagonal stripes, in the form of a pyramid or a vertical strip (see pictures). The shingles of the second row begin to be laid from the middle of the slope, with a horizontal offset in any direction by half a petal relative to the tiles of the first row. In this case, the lower edge of the petals of the tiles of the second row should be located at the level of the upper edge of the cutouts on the shingles of the first row.

Sheets of the third row are mounted with an offset of half a petal relative to the shingles of the second row in the same direction as when laying the previous row.

It is recommended to smear the extreme shingles of ordinary tiles in places where there is no adhesive layer with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic to a width of 10 cm from the edge of the roof. Their upper corners are cut off by 2-3 cm for more efficient water rebound.

Note: The soft roof of Shinglas of the Jazz series is laid with an offset of 15-85 cm relative to the previous row. In this case, there is no need to adhere to a special order, the overall pattern should turn out to be abstract (see Fig.).

5. Device valley

In the region of the valley, ordinary tiles are mounted on top of the valley carpet on two roof slopes (see Fig.). Each shingle suitable for the valley is additionally fixed in the upper part with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). Then, with the help of laces, two lines are beaten off (3). Ordinary tiles are cut along these lines, having previously placed a plank under it so as not to damage the valley carpet. The upper corners of the shingles suitable for the line 3 are cut to break the water (4). On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the bituminous roof is smeared 10 cm from the undercut line with TechnoNICOL mastic (5).

The width of the valley gutter depends on the location of the building and the size of the watercourse from the roof slopes, it can be from 5 to 15 cm. If the building is located among trees (for example, in a forest), then the gutter is made wider to facilitate the removal of leaves. With a significantly different watercourse from the slopes, in order to prevent the roofing material from being washed away with water, the gutters of the valley are shifted towards a smaller watercourse.

When constructing a valley using the “cutting” method, first the level shingles are laid on a slope, which has a smaller slope angle (see Fig.). In this case, sheets of ordinary tiles should go onto a steeper slope by at least 30 cm. In the upper part, each shingle is additionally fixed with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). When the slope with a smaller slope is completely covered, the tiles are laid on the second slope. On a steeper roofing slope, at a distance of 7-8 cm from the axis of the valley, a line (3) is beaten off. Sheets are cut along this line, suitable for the valley from a steeper slope (it is recommended to fit a plank under it so as not to damage the underlying material). The upper corners of the extreme shingles are cut to rebound water (4). On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, these shingles are smeared to a width of 10 cm with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic (5).

6. Arrangement of ribs for skates and skates

When applying this method, ridge-cornice tiles are used. Previously, it is divided into three parts by perforation. Ridge-cornice tiles are used when installing soft roofs Shinglas "Accord", "Sonata", "Dragon's tooth".

Edge. The shingles facing the edge are cut so that a gap of 0.5 cm wide remains between the tiles from adjacent slopes. Two reference lines are beaten off along the edge with the help of laces. Lay flexible tiles on the edge in the direction from the bottom up. The elements are mounted with an overlap, the overlaps should be 3-5 cm wide. Euromet recommends fixing each shingle with four nails (2 on each side) so that the top one covers the fasteners of the underlying one.

Skate. A soft roof on a ridge begins to be laid from the side opposite to the direction of the prevailing winds in the area. Its installation is carried out similarly to the installation of tiles on the edges of the roof.

When using Shinglas shingles with Trio, Sonata, Dragon Tooth, Beaver Tail shingles, the elements to cover the ridge and ribs can be cut from shingles. For the “Sonata” cutting form, its upper part will be visible, and its lower part will be closed (see fig.)

On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the elements are smeared with TechnoNICOL mastic before laying. Shelter of ridges and ribs with patterns from ordinary tiles is carried out in the same way as with ridge-cornice tiles.

Important: When installing the Shinglas soft roof of the "Country", "Classic", "Jazz", "Finnish tile" series at low (up to + 5 ° C) temperatures, it is recommended to bend the elements on a warm pipe with a diameter of about 10 cm. This will prevent them from cracking.

7. Installation of shingles SHINGLAS on curved surfaces (domes, cones)

On roofs of non-standard shape, Shinglas shingles can be laid in two ways - segmental and seamless. When using any of them, the underlayment must first be laid.

Mounting Shinglas on a domed or conical surface in a segmental way involves dividing it into segments. The size of the segments depends on the size and shape of the covered surface. The lines are beaten off with the help of laces. An ordinary tile is mounted on each segment, and ridge tiles are mounted on the joints between them (similar to a ridge and roof ribs). The width of the ridge tile must also correspond to the dimensions of the covered surface.

1) Metal tip (installed after mounting the shinglas);

2) vertical cutting lines (slope marking);

3) a whole petal of a tile;

4) 1/2 petal tiles;

5) ANDEREP lining carpet.

When laying tiles with a seamless method, special attention must be paid to the marking of the surface (see Fig.). First, on its base, marks are made with chalk in increments equal to half the petal of the tile used. From these marks on the lining carpet (5), lines are drawn to the top of the covered surface (the lines are connected at the top). Ordinary tiles are cut into separate petals, of which the first row is mounted. The next row is shifted by half a petal relative to the previous row. The material for it is cut in accordance with the applied marking lines (2). When the width of the trimmed elements becomes half the original (4), whole tile petals (3) begin to be used again for the next row. In this order, the roof is laid to the top of the surface. The top is decorated with a metal tip (1).

8. Connection device

For a smoother bending of materials, a triangular rail is nailed to the roof slope at the junction of the wall (see Fig.). It can be made from a diagonally cut wooden beam with a section of 50x50 mm, or you can use an ordinary wooden plinth. If the wall adjacent to the roof is brick, it is pre-plastered and primed. Shingles of an ordinary tile suitable for adjoining lead to a nailed lath. Strips of at least 50 cm wide are cut out from the TechnoNIKOL valley carpet. On the underside, they are treated with TechnoNIKOL bituminous mastic over the entire surface and laid on top of the tiles. The strips of the valley carpet are positioned so that they extend at least 30 cm onto the wall (and even higher in regions with heavy snow loads). The upper edge of the adjoining material is inserted into the groove and pressed with a metal apron. The structure is fixed mechanically and sealed with polyurethane, thiokol or silicone sealant.

The method of sealing the joints of the roofing with ventilation pipes and chimneys is shown in the figure. Patterns are made from a valley carpet or a metal sheet with an anti-corrosion coating, they are cut and bent in the indicated places. First, the front pattern is mounted on top of the shingles of ordinary tiles suitable for the pipe. Then lay the side and lastly the back patterns. They are brought under the shingles of the material. From the back and sides make a gutter 80 mm wide. At the shingles of the soft roof suitable for the pipe, the upper corners are cut to repel water. The underside of these shingles in places where there is no adhesive layer to a width of 10 cm is smeared with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic.

If the pipe section is more than 50x50 cm, and it is located across the roof slope, a groove is made behind the pipe (see Fig.). This will prevent excessive accumulation of snow behind the pipe.

If the bottom of the roof slope is adjacent to the wall, a metal storm drain is mounted at the end of it (see Fig.).

9. Pass-through elements

For sealing the places where communication pipes, antennas, etc. pass through the roof. use special passage elements (see fig.). The passage element is fixed mechanically (with nail joints). Shingles of an ordinary bitm tile are laid on it, cut off and fixed to the flange with TechnoNICOL No. 23 FIXER mastic. Then a suitable roof outlet is installed on the passage element.

TechnoNIKOL roof ventilation elements are non-insulated and insulated (see fig.). They are part of the ventilation and sewerage systems. The use of polyurethane-insulated ventilation outlets is advisable in areas with long, frosty winters, since condensate does not freeze inside them. It is not recommended to install caps on sewer roof outlets, as condensate accumulates in them. If it freezes, it will interfere with normal ventilation.

For a more aesthetic appearance of the roof outlet, a cap without internal cuts can be installed on it (see Fig.). In addition to its decorative function, it helps prevent precipitation and foliage from entering the pipe.

Roof care

1. In spring and autumn, it is necessary to inspect the roof to check its condition and timely detection of defects.
2. It is recommended to remove leaves and small debris from the roofing with a brush with soft bristles. Do not use sharp tools as this may damage the tiles.
3. Items with sharp edges are removed from the roof by hand.
4. Drains, gutters and pipes should be checked periodically and cleared of debris as necessary.
5. If a large amount of snow accumulates on the roof, it is removed in layers with a non-sharp shovel. At the same time, a layer of snow about 10 cm thick is left to protect the roofing.
6. From time to time, Euromet specialists recommend checking the condition (and, if necessary, repairing) metal parts, mounting holes, openings and other elements on the roof.

Shinglas shingle roof repair

Bituminous tile SHINGLAS is a repairable roofing material. If there are minor defects in the roofing, its local repair can be carried out independently. In this case, it is important to identify and, if possible, eliminate the causes of damage to the material. These can be, for example, installation errors, scuffs from closely spaced tree branches, the presence of depressions in which water stagnates, etc.

Installation of soft tiles Shinglas (Shinglas) - special laying technology and secrets for roof care

In Shingles' home of the United States, this roofing material is #1 in popularity among home builders.

In a short time, Shingles has become famous, thanks to the quality and ease of installation, the demand for material is constantly growing.

In this article, we will look at detailed installation instructions flexible shingles Shinglas, as well as pay attention to the recommendations for the care of the roof. You can read about other types of soft roofing here.

What is Shingles

Flexible Shingles is bituminous laminate modular size, has three components: fiberglass, bituminous composition and basalt granulate. In production, two or more layers of material are sintered together, shingles are cut, packed into product packs, packs are wrapped in film.

Fiberglass provides strength, it is durable and does not corrode, does not require fungicide treatment, and does not rot. The improved bituminous composition has increased heat resistance, which allows use the material in all climatic zones with no restrictions.

Sprinkling with basalt protects against mechanical damage, UV radiation, temperature and precipitation. Sprinkling with colored basalt does not fade over time, making it possible to create unique color compositions. The consumer can choose Shingles according to their taste from 12 collections and 70 color designs.

Modules (shingles)- rectangular, with figured cutouts along the lower edge, depending on the collection, they have a different configuration. From below, the modules are sprinkled with sand to prevent sticking in packages. There is also a strip of adhesive, which secures the shingles to each other. The strip is protected before installation with a special film. The shingles are laid in rows overlapping, which provides reliable waterproofing to the coating..

All about merit

Developers appreciate this material for a reason. For more than a century of operation of roofs from Shingles, everything has become known about the merits:

1. Durability;
2. Atmospheric, bio- and chemical resistance;
3. Physical characteristics;
4. Simplicity of installation of a shinglas roof;
5. Excellent waterproofing properties;
6. Profitability;
7. Environmental friendliness;
8. Aesthetics.

Ease of installation provide physical characteristics: flexibility, low volumetric weight, easy-to-handle size.

economy give a low price in comparison with analogues and a convenient size, due to which waste is reduced to a minimum.

Environmental friendliness achieved by the possibility of recycling and the lack of impact on the ecosystem.

Aesthetics- a variety of designs and a wide color palette of materials that make each roof unique.

Flexible tile Shinglas

A few shortcomings

The disadvantages include:

• narrow temperature corridor installation: from +5 to +27° С: at lower temperatures, the tile must be heated to 20 ° C before installation, at higher temperatures it must not be loaded in order to avoid losing shape;
• it is advisable not to walk on the finished coating;
• limited angle of inclination of the roof for laying Shingles - from 12 to 40°.

Specifications

Currently, TECHNONICOL factories produce Shingles of 3 types: one-, two- and three-layer. Technical characteristics of other types of soft roofs at the link. Their technical performance is somewhat different.

Mounting Shinglas - preparing tools

For quality styling except for Shingles tools needed:

Additional materials and products convenient to buy at the same time with flexible tiles, the seller will tell you what is needed and in what quantity in order to deliver all the kit necessary for coating to the construction site, saving on additional trips. So:

1. Lining material ANDEREP;
2. Mastic TECHNONICOL No. 23 (FIXER);
3. Vapor barrier;
4. Galvanized nails;
5. Ventilation systems - aerators, exits, passage elements;
6. Drainage system;
7. Planks are eaves, face, adjunctions.

The type and amount of lining material, elements of the drainage system and ventilation systems depend on the type of flexible tiles, the area and design of the roof, and the height of the house.

Preparatory work

Roof base - roof structure- calculated in accordance with the snow load in the climatic zone, the span and the angle of inclination of the roof, given by the project of the house. The profile of the load-bearing elements is also affected by the type of system: hanging rafters; based on a Mauerlat or a structure with a central support and struts.

The distance between the rafters is taken no more than 0.9 m, an increase in the pitch leads to an increase in the profile of the beams, battens and counter battens, that is, it is simply not economical.

With a crate a little easier, its step is taken constructively 35 cm, the profile is also calculated by the calculator. The crate is necessary for ventilation of the under-roof space. Between the rafters and the crate we lay a vapor barrier material, which prevent condensate from reaching the solid flooring- the base for the installation of tiles. Read about the soft roof pie here.

Above the roof level vertical surfaces made of brick or concrete(e.g. chimneys) needs to be plastered and primed to the device of a continuous flooring.

Flooring can be made from various materials - edged boards, moisture resistant plywood or chipboard, fiberboard, OSB-3. The plates must be laid in a run-up (with offset seams), leaving a gap of 3-4 mm at the joints for thermal expansion of the material. Boards should have a humidity of no more than 15-18%. Orient the annual rings with the convex part down.

We reinforce the cornice overhangs with a metal cornice strip, fixing it with nails in a checkerboard pattern, fastening pitch 120-150 mm, we join the planks with an overlap of 3-5 cm, we fasten the joints after 2-3 cm. More details about additional elements here.

P on the flooring we put a self-adhesive lining carpet in the valleys and on the cornice overhang:

• In valleys - 1 m wide (50 cm for each slope);
• On overhangs - by the amount of overhang + 600 mm from the inner edge of the outer wall.

On the lining carpet, we reinforce the overhangs of the gables with special metal strips, their fastening is similar to the strips of the eaves.

Reinforcement of the valley is required in the case of an open method of laying Shingles: TECHNONICOL valley material is laid over the self-adhesive carpet with a horizontal shift of 20-30 mm. The lower part of the reinforcing fabric is smeared with bituminous mastic to a width of 100 mm from the edges and smoothed to the base. Instead of the valley material, a metal sheet with anti-corrosion protection can be used. The reinforcing material is fastened with nails every 20-25 cm with an indent of 20-30 mm from the edge.

Preliminary work ends with markings on the slope of horizontals and verticals, which facilitate the laying of the cover layer.

Shinglas: installation instructions

Mix 5-6 packs of Shingles before applying the topcoat to achieve a more even color transition. The technology for laying shinglas soft tiles is quite simple:

1. We start laying from the middle of the longest slope and lead from the bottom up. As a cornice shingle, we use a special ridge-cornice shingle, or a trimmed ordinary shingle.
2. Glue the bottom shingle onto the underlayment with an indent of 10-20 mm from the bend of the cornice strip and fasten with nails.
3. We mount the subsequent rows diagonally.
4. We install special exit penetration communications, aerators and ventilation, chimneys.
5. We nail a triangular rail along the perimeter of vertical surfaces and glue strips 500 mm wide cut from the valley material onto the mastic(300 for the wall, 200 for the roof), we put the edge of the strip into a shtraba and protect it with a metal apron.
6. We fix the ridge element, made of ordinary tiles and bent on a heated metal pipe Ø10 cm, each nailed with 4 nails.

Recipe for longevity

If you want to extend for a long time exploitation its beautiful new soft-tile roof, be prepared to service it regularly:

1. Twice a year inspect surfaces, joints and junctions;
2. clear with a soft brush from fallen leaves and debris;
3. Remove garbage manually with sharp edges;
4. Clean drains and trays;
5. snow removal with a wooden or plastic shovel in layers, leaving about 10 cm of snow for protection;
6. Carry out minor repairs as needed. You can read about roof repairs in winter here.

The manufacturer gives a guarantee for a single-layer canvas 10-15 years, two-layer up to 55 years, three-layer - 60 years. Following the installation technology of flexible shingles (all about flexible tiles here), proposed by the manufacturer, inspecting the roof twice a year and regularly caring for it, we can say with confidence that Shingles will last for my lifetime!

Shinglas installation and do-it-yourself Shinglas soft tile laying technology

Shinglas shingles installation

A roof made of flexible shingles Shinglas will serve for a long time without changing its appearance and functional qualities only if the roof structure provides normal ventilation of the under-roof space, reliable hydro-vapor barrier and insulation corresponding to the climatic conditions of the area where the building was built.

It is not allowed to use flexible tiles of different color shades on the same roof. All Shinglas packages intended for the same roof must have the same color codes.

Even if the color codes match, the shades of the soft roof in different packages may differ slightly. To make these differences on the finished roof invisible, Westmet specialists recommend mixing tiles from several packages during installation, and laying them diagonally.

It is allowed to install Shinglas at low air temperatures, however, in this case, several additional rules should be observed. If the temperature does not exceed plus 5-10 degrees Celsius, then the tiles should be delivered to the roof from a heated room - no more than 6 packs at a time. The adhesive strip on tile shingles in such weather should be heated with a building hair dryer (it does not need to be heated at higher temperatures).

If it becomes necessary to cut tiles directly on the roof, then in no case should this be done on the mounted roof. It is recommended to use a pre-prepared board, so as not to damage the already laid shingles.

Pallets with shingles should be stored in a place protected from direct sunlight, otherwise the self-adhesive strips may stick to the protective film, which will further complicate installation.

Under no circumstances should Shinglas soft roof pallets be stacked on top of each other.

To make the sheets of flexible tiles easier to separate from each other, before opening the next package of material, it is recommended to first bend it a little and then shake it.

Important: In order not to leave stains on SHINGLAS roofing in clear and hot weather, as well as at low temperatures and high air humidity, it is undesirable to walk on already installed tiles. To move along the roof, you need to leave manholes through which you can get to the desired place of the ramp.

Necessary materials

Among all types of soft roofing, SHINGLAS has the widest range. More than 60 Shinglas colors are supplied to the Russian market.

ANDEREP self-adhesive materials:

• ANDEREP ULTRA - lining waterproofing material of increased strength. Produced on a polyester base with a mineral coating. The fine-grained coating of the outer surface (sanding) provides additional protection. This lining carpet is most effective when using Shinglas shingles.
• ANDEREP BARRIER is a lightweight, sand-coated polyester waterproofing material. It is used as an additional protection for soft roofs from leaks in those places where they are most likely.

ANDEREP materials with mechanical fastening:

• ANDEREP PROF is a particularly lightweight rolled material that can be used in combination with both shingles and other types of pitched roof coverings. The specific gravity of the polyester-based waterproofing material with a non-slip polypropylene outer layer is only 0.4 kg per square meter, which greatly simplifies installation.
• ANDEREP GL is an underlay waterproofing material for roofs covered with bituminous tiles. The fiberglass base is covered with sandy dressing from the outside and inside. Special strips in the places of longitudinal overlaps acquire adhesive properties when heated, therefore, when connecting adjacent sheets of the lining carpet, it is not necessary to use special mastic.

The special lining carpet TechnoNIKOL is designed for valleys that are exposed to moisture much more than the rest of the roof. The carpet for the valley is made of polyester and is covered with mineral chips on the outside. This coarse-grained protective coating based on basalt granules reliably protects the valley from leaks.

Eaves, gable overhangs and junction slats

When installing Shinglas, a number of additional elements are used, made of metal with an anti-corrosion protective coating, which also plays a decorative role. These are, in particular, junction planks, gable overhangs and cornice planks.

Fasteners - roofing nails

To fix bituminous tiles, special galvanized (galvanized) roofing nails are used. Their length is from 3 to 4.5 centimeters, the diameter of the rod is from 3 millimeters, and the diameter of the cap is at least 9 mm.

Bitumen-polymer mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

For gluing lining materials and roofing elements, cold mastic FIXER from TechnoNICOL on a bitumen-polymer basis is used.

Roof ventilation TechnoNIKOL

For proper ventilation of the under-roof space, it is necessary that there are a sufficient number of air inlets in the lower part of the roof, and exhaust holes in the upper part, respectively. Special ventilation elements significantly improve the movement of air in the under-roof space.

In addition to lining materials and additional elements from TechnoNICOL, it is allowed to use their analogues from other manufacturers with similar characteristics.

Consumption of shingles

The number of tiles in one package depends on the type of Shinglas. For the Country collection it is 2.6 sq.m per package, for the Ranch and Jazz collections it is 2 sq.m, and for the Western and Continent series it is 1.5 sq.m. The norm for all other Shinglas collections is 3 sq.m per package. All figures are given based on the area of ​​the finished roof (that is, taking into account all the overlaps when laying the roofing).

On roofs of complex configuration, material consumption increases. In addition, one should keep in mind the waste factor, which depends on the shape of the shingles cutting. A cut like Sonata, Dragon Tooth or Accord requires no more than 5% waste. With other forms of cutting, the waste ratio increases to 10-15%. This is due to the need to arrange the starting strips and design the ridges and roof ridges.

Approximately 80 g of fasteners (galvanized nails) are required for each square meter of the roof.

Consumption of mastic TechnoNIKOL (FIXER):

For gluing overlaps of lining materials without self-adhesive strips, about 100 g of FIXER mastic per linear meter is required.

When installing a carpet for a valley, up to 400 g of mastic per linear meter is consumed.

Gluing the joints to ensure tightness requires approximately 750 g per meter.

The mastic should be applied in a thin layer (no more than 1 mm), otherwise swelling may appear in the places of gluing.

Preparing the base for the roof

SHINGLAS bituminous tiles are laid on a solid base, which can be made of boards, plywood, large-panel panels, oriented strand boards. Wood or other materials must be dry.

The flooring should be laid evenly - so that the differences between the boards or slabs in height do not exceed 2 millimeters.

Large-panel panels are laid with a spacing of seams and fixed with self-tapping screws or special ruff nails.

Plywood and oriented strand board have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than other wood materials, so when building a plywood or OSB-3 base, a gap of 3-5 millimeters should be left between the boards.

If the flooring is made of boards, then all of them should be laid as shown in Figure 4 - with the same orientation of the annual rings visible at the ends of the boards. An incorrectly laid board is crossed out in the figure.

If boards of unequal thickness are used, then the thickest of them should be placed at the roof eaves, and then gradually reduce the thickness of the flooring from the eaves to the ridge.

Adjacent boards should be joined on the roof rafters, securing them at the junction with at least four nails.

If necessary, plank flooring for flexible tiles can also be made from damp wood. In this case, the boards are fixed along the edges with two self-tapping screws, and the flooring must dry before the installation of Shinglas.

Installation of cornice strips

To strengthen the cornice overhang of the roof, special cornice strips are used, made of metal with a protective coating. They are mounted along the edge of the deck, as shown in fig. 6 and are fixed with nails, which are driven in at a distance of 12-15 centimeters from each other in a checkerboard pattern. At the joints, the cornice strips are laid with an overlap of 3-5 cm.

Installation of waterproofing materials

Lining material, as a rule, is laid over the entire surface of the slopes. Where ordinary tiles will be installed, Westmet engineers recommend using a mechanically fixed underlayment, and self-adhesive waterproofing materials in valleys, at cornices and in other places with an increased risk of leaks.

ANDEREP rolled materials from TechnoNIKOL are best suited as roofing waterproofing for SHINGLAS, but other materials with similar properties can also be used.

In the valley, the self-adhesive underlayment must be 1 m wide (half a meter on each side of the valley axis).

It is advisable to lay the lining material in the valley end-to-end, that is, without overlaps. An alternative option is installation with an overlap of 300 mm with reliable gluing of the seams.

At the roof eaves, the self-adhesive carpet is fixed as shown in fig. 7. It covers the part of the cornice that protrudes beyond the line of the wall, as well as at least 60 centimeters up the slope. Waterproofing, installed in this way, avoids leaks near the eaves during sudden temperature fluctuations, melting snow on the roof, heavy rainfall and other problems with temperature and humidity in the under-roof space.

At the cornice overhang, the lower edge of the lining material should be 20-30 millimeters from the fold of the metal cornice strip.

The lining carpet, fixed mechanically, is mounted on the slope from the eaves to the ridge (that is, from the bottom up) with an overlap of adjacent canvases both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. For ANDEREP materials from TechnoNIKOL, the longitudinal overlap is 10 centimeters, and the transverse overlap is 15 cm.

If BiCARD underlays and their organic-based counterparts are used, the amount of overlap depends on the slope of the roof slopes. If the angle of inclination of the slopes is less than 30 degrees, then an overlap of at least 60 cm is required. With a more significant slope of the slope, an overlap of 10 cm is sufficient.

During installation, the sheets of lining material are rolled out parallel to the roof eaves and fixed to the solid flooring with roofing nails in increments of 20-25 centimeters. The joints of the canvases should be glued with FIXER mastic, applying it in the place of overlap with a layer of 200-300 millimeters wide.

In areas with moderate temperature fluctuations and relatively low levels of precipitation (Central, Northwestern, Volga, Southern and North Caucasian federal districts), it is possible to reduce the consumption of lining materials. When using Shinglas with cuts such as Beaver Tail, Sonata, Trio or Accord, it is allowed to mount an underlayment carpet only along the perimeter of the roof (in strips of 50 cm), along cornice overhangs and in valleys, as well as in other places where there is a high risk of leakage - for example, at roof windows and through exits through the roof (ventilation shafts, chimneys, communications). However, this reduces the warranty period for a soft roof.

Outside of the listed federal districts, this condition does not apply and the laying of lining materials over the entire area of ​​​​the slopes is mandatory.

Strengthening the gable overhang

To reinforce the gable overhang, metal end gable strips are used. They are fastened over the underlayment with nails, as shown in fig. 9. Galvanized roofing nails are driven in at a distance of 12-15 centimeters in a checkerboard pattern.

Neighboring gable planks are laid with an overlap of 3-5 cm. In this place, the distance between the nails should be no more than 2-3 centimeters.

Immediately before the installation of sheets of tiles suitable for the pediment, the end strip is smeared with FIXER mastic, and the upper corner of the sheet is trimmed.

Valley preparation

There are two methods for installing Shinglas shingles in a valley. The SHINGLAS open installation method requires the use of a valley carpet, while the undercut method eliminates it.

Carpet for the valley TechnoNICOL is laid over the self-adhesive lining material already installed in the valley during the complete or partial waterproofing of the slopes (see above the section "Installation of waterproofing materials"). The scheme of laying the carpet is shown in fig. 10. The carpet for the valley is mounted along its axis, indicated by the number 1, with a horizontal offset of 20-30 millimeters. From the bottom side, the carpet for the valley must be smeared with FIXER mastic, with a layer 100 mm wide around the entire perimeter.

In addition to a special carpet, with the open method of laying shingles in the valley, it is possible to use a steel sheet with a surface that is resistant to corrosion. A metal sheet instead of a valley carpet is the most suitable option for regions with long and hot summers.

A special carpet or steel sheet is nailed with nails with a gap of 200-250 millimeters and an indent from the edge of the valley by 20-30 mm on each side.

It is best to lay sheets of waterproofing material end-to-end so that the carpet is solid. If this is not possible, then installation of a carpet with a 30-centimeter overlap is allowed. Seams in places of overlap should be carefully glued.

If this method is used, neither valley carpet nor sheet metal is required. The installation of flexible tiles by cutting is discussed in the instructions below.

Slope marking

For proper installation of Shinglas, it is recommended to apply marking lines to the flooring, which serves as the basis for flexible tiles. They perform a guiding function. The vertical lines are separated from each other by the width of one tile sheet, and the horizontal lines by five rows (see figure).

Marking lines also serve to align the sheets, but are not a guideline for their fastening with nails. Fixing tiles should be carried out according to the scheme given in the next section of the instructions.

Installation of shingles SHINGLAS

Mounting tips Shinglas

Shinglas with different color codes cannot be used on the roof of the same building.

Mixing tiles from 5-6 packs will help to avoid visible differences in the color shades of different parts of the roofing (if this is not done, then a subtle difference in color tones may be distinguishable on the finished roof).

In cold weather (at outdoor temperatures below 5-10 degrees), Shinglas must be stored in a warm place for at least a day before installation. The temperature in the room should not be lower than 20 degrees, and no more than 5-6 packages should be taken out into the cold at a time. The following packages can only be delivered to the roof after the tiles from the previous ones have been laid.

The self-adhesive strips on bituminous shingles need to be warmed up in cold weather. For this purpose, a building hair dryer is used.

Tiling fastening

Fig. 12 (scheme of fastening sheets with nails)

The tile sheets on the slope are fastened to the continuous flooring with roofing nails resistant to corrosion. These wide-headed nails are driven in in such a way that the head does not go deep into the surface of the tile sheet either directly or obliquely. The bottom edge of the cap must be exactly in line with the surface of the tile (see top image in fig. 12).

The required number of nails depends on the angle of the slopes, as well as on the SHINGLAS collection and the shape of the tiles. The recommended position of nails for different series of Shinglas is shown in fig. 12.

Important: the flexible tiles of the JAZZ and COUNTRY series are mounted with an overlap, therefore, at the junction, two adjacent sheets are fixed with one nail. To correctly determine the place of fixation, one should be guided by the assembly line, which is present on the outer surface of the tiles of these series (this line is applied during the manufacture of the roofing material).

For fastening roofing sheets of the CONTINENT series, only long nails with a wide head (4.5 centimeters long) are suitable.

Installation of the starting strip

The material for the starting strip is selected depending on the SHINGLAS series. In some collections, ridge-cornice tiles are used for this purpose, while in others, standard ordinary tiles are used.

Ridge and cornice universal tiles do not require cutting and are laid with the adhesive side down over the waterproofing lining material, indented from the cornice strip fold by 10-20 millimeters. The longer the roof slope and the greater the angle of its inclination, the wider this indent should be.

The starting strip for Shinglas with the shape of cutting Accord, Beaver Tail, Sonata or Trio is made from ordinary tiled sheets, from which the petals are cut. From the underside, the entire surface of the strip, with the exception of the adhesive layer, is covered with a layer of mastic, after which it is glued in exactly the same way as described above.

Under a soft roof with a Continent and Dragon's Tooth thread, the starting strip is made from shingles of an ordinary tile without cutting off the petals.

Laying the first and next rows of Shinglas

It is recommended to lay the sheets of soft roofing starting from the middle of the slope. This makes it easier to align the shingles, especially on long pitches. The first row of tiles starts from the starting strip with a gap of 10-20 millimeters between it and the lower edge of the roofing sheets.

Laying the next rows is carried out from the bottom up diagonally.

Features of the installation of ordinary tiles, depending on the shape of the cut, are shown in fig. 14 and 15.

Western and Sonata

The second row is laid from the middle of the slope with a shift in one direction or another by the width of half the petal. You can carry out installation from the center of the slope in any direction - to the right or to the left.

The lower edge of the petals after fixing the second row of tiles with nails should coincide with the upper edge of the cutouts in the previous row.

In the same way, with a shift of half a petal and alignment with the cutouts of the previous row, the third row of shingles and all subsequent ones are laid.

On fig. 16 shows a variant of the installation of Shinglas shingles from the middle of the slope in strips, and in fig. 17 - in the form of a pyramid.

With a downpour or slanting rain, the risk of moisture leakage along the edge of the roof increases. To avoid this, it is advisable to glue Shinglas shingles along the edge of the roof with FIXER mastic to a width of 100 millimeters.

At the gable, the corners of the shingles that fit the end plank must be trimmed, as indicated above, in fig. 9. This is done to organize the proper flow of water from the roof.

Shinglas series COUNTRY, RANCH and JAZZ has a number of features. The shingles of these collections are laid not with an equal offset between the rows, but with an arbitrary offset from 150 to 850 millimeters. The shift must constantly change so that the result is an abstract pattern on the roof.

Valley device

An open method of laying tiles in a valley

Ordinary sheets of a soft roof are mounted in any order from the edge of the valley to its axis (Fig. 18, mark 1). The tile is laid directly on the TechnoNIKOL waterproofing valley carpet or a metal sheet and brought to the undercut line, indicated in the figure by the number 3.

Each roofing sheet from above, in addition to the usual fixation, is fastened with additional nails. However, these nails should not be driven closer than 300 mm from the axis of the valley (Fig. 18, 2).

When the tiles in the valley are laid, lines are drawn on its surface on both sides of the axis with the help of a coated beating, along which the excess tile shingles are cut off. When cutting tiles, be sure to put a board in order to avoid damage to the waterproofing in the valley.

Each sheet of soft roofing in the valley must be cut to repel water and covered on the inside with adhesive mastic to a width of 100 millimeters (where there is no self-adhesive strip, see Fig. 18, 5).

If the roof slopes are not the same in area, configuration and angle of inclination, a different volume of water may enter the valley from them. In this case, the valley chute should be shifted in the direction from which the water flow is less. Such a displacement compensates for the washout at the junction of the waterproofing carpet and the tile covering in the valley.

The gutter of the valley can have a different width - in the range from 50 to 150 millimeters. If the house is located in a forest or under the crowns of tall trees, the gutter should be made wider to make it easier to clear it of falling branches and leaves.

When using this method, the roofing is mounted from the side of the slope with a smaller angle of inclination towards the axis of the valley and then with an overlap on another slope. The width of the overlap is at least 300 millimeters from the center line towards the steeper slope.

Shinglas in the valley is fastened in the same way as with the open method - with additional nails on the upper side of the sheets, but not closer than 30 centimeters from the center line (Fig. 19, marks 1 and 2).

When the laying of tiles on a slope with a lower angle of inclination is completed, one undercut line is made using coated chipping - 70-80 millimeters from the axis of the valley on the second slope (the slope of which is greater). This line is marked in Fig. 19 number 3.

Further along this line, tiles are cut, mounted in the valley from the side of the slope with a greater steepness. As with the open method, the roofing sheets in the valley should be covered with mastic on the inside and trimmed to repel water, as shown in fig. 19, mark 4.

Slope crossings (ribs and ridge)

The roof slopes intersect at the top of the roof structure, forming a ridge. A roof of complex configuration may also have lateral intersections of slopes, which are usually referred to as ribs. The construction of ridges and ribs (ridges) of the roof is carried out in a similar way, but the installation methods may differ depending on the SHINGLAS series and the shape of cutting of flexible tiles.

A number of SHINGLAS collections are equipped with universal ridge and cornice tiles. It can be divided along the perforation lines, obtaining separate elements for the starting strips on the cornice overhangs, for the ridge and for other purposes.

In this case, we are interested in ridge tiles. After dividing the universal sheet into three parts, a ready-made element for the installation of ridges and ribs is obtained, compatible with SHINGLAS shingles of the Accord, Western, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Continent types.

Edge. Shingles of shingles that overlap the rib on both sides must be trimmed so that there is a gap of 50 millimeters between them. Coated beating lines are drawn at an equal distance from the ridge on both sides of its middle. Ridge tiles are laid along these lines. Installation is carried out from the bottom up, with the fastening of each sheet of ridge tiles with roofing nails - 2 on both sides, that is, 4 per sheet.

Ridge tiles are laid along the edge of the roof with an overlap of 30-50 millimeters - so that the top sheet covers the nail heads that fix the previous one.

Skate. On the ridge of the roof, the installation of sheets of ridge tiles is carried out in almost the same way as on the edge - with the difference that the laying is carried out in a horizontal plane. Installation should begin from the side opposite to the most typical wind direction in the area where the building is located.

For cut shingles such as Beaver Tail, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Trio, ridge shingles can be made from standard roofing sheets. The scheme of pattern and bending of sheets is shown in fig. 20.

Please note that with the Sonata cut shape, the location of the visible part (A) and the hidden part (B) differs from the other options.

The inner side of ridge tiles made of SHINGLAS ordinary tiles, when mounted on the ribs and ridges of the roof, must be covered on the inside with FIXER mastic - everywhere except for self-adhesive strips. In addition, installation is no different from laying universal ridge-cornice tiles.

Important: at low air temperatures, it is desirable to bend the ridge and rib elements of some SHINGLAS collections on a special heated metal pipe. The diameter of the pipe should be about 100 millimeters.

Soft roofs from the Ranch, Country and Jazz collections cannot be bent at all except on a heated pipe.

Shinglas type Finnish Tile and Classic experts advise bending using a heated metal pipe at an air temperature below plus 5 degrees.

Installation of Shinglas on conical and domed roofs

One of the advantages of a soft roof is the ability to easily mount it on a roof with a curved surface.

There are two main options for installing Shinglas shingles on this type of roof.

The first one is segmental. This method involves the division of a dome or conical roof into separate segments that can be covered with ordinary tiles. And between the segments, ridge tiles are laid - just like on the ridges of an ordinary roof.

The area of ​​each segment depends on the configuration of the dome or cone.

1. Metal tip (mounted after laying the roofing).
2. Slope marking.
3. A whole petal of flexible tiles.
4. Half petal.
5. Lining waterproofing material.

According to Westmet engineers, the seamless method of mounting flexible tiles on curved surfaces (Fig. 21) is the most effective and attractive from an aesthetic point of view, but at the same time it is especially difficult.

On the base of the roof, it is necessary to draw lines spaced from each other by a width of half a petal of the selected type of flexible tile. These lines converge at the top of a cone or dome.

Shingles of flexible tiles must be divided into separate petals and form the first row of roofing from them in accordance with the markings.

The next row is mounted with a shift of half a petal with trimming of the tiles when going beyond the marking lines. If the next row cannot be laid out with whole petals, petals divided in half are used (Fig. 21 - a row of whole petals is marked with the number 3, a row of cut petals is marked with the number 4).

In the upper part, the cone or dome is closed with a metal cap (if necessary, decorative elements can be installed - depending on the wishes of the owner or the purpose of the public building).

Attachment to vertical surfaces

The connection of roofing to walls, chimneys and other vertical surfaces requires special attention. Proper connection design eliminates the risk of leaks in these vulnerable areas.

Along the joint line, and in the case of chimneys and ventilation shafts, a triangular rail or plinth is installed along the perimeter. A timber with a section of 5 by 5 centimeters, sawn diagonally, is best suited.

On fig. 22, the triangular rail is marked with the number 1.

Shinglas shingles, suitable for abutment, are laid over a triangular rail.

In order to provide waterproofing of the junction, a valley carpet from TechnoNIKOL is used (Fig. 22, 5). Strips of at least 50 centimeters wide are cut out of it, and sufficient in length to cover the entire junction line or perimeter.

The waterproofing carpet is wound on a vertical surface by at least 30 centimeters. If, according to the climatic conditions of the region, it is possible to assume a high level of precipitation in the winter (and, accordingly, a significant accumulation of snow on the roof), then it is recommended to make a wider pattern and raise the waterproofing strip even higher.

If the wall, chimney, ventilation shaft or other vertical surface at the junction is built of brick, then even before the start of roofing work, it must be plastered, and, if necessary, primed (primed).

In the upper part, the junction is covered with a metal apron (Fig. 22, 2) and treated with a sealant.

Patterns for connecting SHINGLAS shingles to chimneys and ventilation shafts can be made both from a carpet for a valley from TechnoNICOL (Fig. 23), and from a metal sheet with a protective coating (Fig. 24).

Behind pipes with a cross section of more than half a meter, a groove should be arranged in order to avoid excessive accumulation of snow.

If the roof slope is adjacent to a wall, a storm drain must be mounted on its lower edge, as shown in fig. 26.

If the roof slope ends at the junction with the wall, at the end of the slope, a storm drain made of metal with an anti-corrosion coating should be installed (Fig. 26). The chipper is made of metal resistant to corrosion.

Arrangement of roof penetrations

Holes passing through the roof to bring pipes, antennas, wires and other communications to the roof are sealed at the bottom using passage elements specially designed for this purpose.

Pass-through elements are attached to the base with roofing nails. Sheets of tiles are superimposed over the passage element, after which they are cut off and attached to the flange with adhesive mastic. After that, you can install the desired roof outlet in this place.

Ventilation outlets are produced in two versions. Insulated exits can be used on the roof of buildings that serve for housing or other use all year round, including in winter. Thanks to polyurethane insulation, condensate never freezes in them.

Non-insulated outputs are intended mainly for warm regions, as well as for buildings and structures that are used mainly in the warm season.

Decorative caps improve the appearance of the ventilation outlets. However, their use does not affect the functional characteristics of the ventilation system. Even if water, leaves and small debris get into the hood, and through it, water, leaves and small debris enter the outlet, they are freely discharged into the sewer system.

On the other hand, it is undesirable to equip outlets designed for improved ventilation directly to the sewer itself with caps. During the cold period, due to the increased humidity of the fumes, condensate can accumulate and freeze in the hood.

Shinglas shingles installation, Shinglas installation

Installation instructions for Shinglas soft tiles from Westmet engineers.

Nine forms of cuts and 74 color schemes - TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS flexible tiles have a unique product range! Amazing and diverse collections allow you to choose the only right roofing solution, giving an impeccable look to the entire building.

The technology for laying flexible tiles is quite simple, but there are general installation features, as well as fastening nuances for each type of cutting shape, which we will consider below.

Transport and storage

Firstly, the package with shingles of TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS shingles is light in weight, so it is easily carried by hand, does not require the use of lifting mechanisms and special devices. Small batches of them can be transported even in a private car. However, at the stage of transportation it is very important not to spoil the material. So, in no case should pallets with materials be stacked on top of each other - they can deform the shingles of the tiles. The packages with tiles can only be transported with an edge (as shown in the figure).

During installation, the packaging, as well as individual shingles, should not be folded at the bend of the ridge.

Another feature - before opening the package, it must be slightly bent and shaken. This will make it much easier to remove the clogged shingles.

To minimize the color imbalance (formation of color spots) of the roofing shingles from 5-6 packs should be mixed together.

markup

Immediately before installation, markings are applied to the lining carpet. It is a general guideline by which sheets of shingles can be aligned vertically and horizontally during installation. That is, the shingles do not fit clearly along the lines of this marking. But it helps out especially well if the roof has curves or slopes.

Considering the dimensions of any roof, it is best to do the markings with the help of building laces.

The marking is applied in the form of a grid, in which the horizontal lines have a pitch equal to five rows of tiles (70-75 cm), vertical - one meter, according to the size of one flexible tile shingle.

Range

The range of flexible tiles produced by TECHNONICOL includes nine types of cuts: "Continent", "Atlantic", "Western", "Fight Tooth" - forms of multi-layer tiles, "accord", "sonata", "brix", "beaver tail", " trio" - forms of a single-layer tile.

Each of the forms is presented in a variety of colors.

For example, the shape of the cut "continent" is represented by a series of a similar name with four shades: "Europe", "America", "Asia", "Africa". The largest collection of colors in cutting "dragon tooth" - 18 shades in the collections "Jazz" and "Country".

You can decide on the cut shape, collection and shade, as well as try on this or that collection on a model of a residential building at TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS.

Mounting

Let's consider TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS in detail, on the example of a two-layer flexible tile of the “dragon tooth” cutting form.

On long slopes, shingles are laid from the bottom up - from the eaves to the ridge of the roof, from the center of the lower edge, so that it is easier to set the tiles horizontally.

The installation process of flexible tiles begins with laying the starting strip along the cornice overhang. It is made of special ridge-cornice tiles. It does not have "petals" of any form of cutting, consists of three parts and is attached to 12 roofing nails - six nails at the top, six at the bottom. Subsequently, they will be closed by the first row of tiles.

Also, the starting strip can be made independently - from the shingle of an ordinary single-layer tile, carefully cutting off the “petals” at the shingle with a roofing knife. In the case of cutting the “dragon tooth”, the starting strip is made from ordinary tiles, without trimming.

The starting strip is laid on the lining carpet with an indent from the bend of the eaves overhang by 1-2 cm. If the roof slope is more than 45 degrees, the indent must be increased by a couple of centimeters. When laying the first row of shingles, the back side of the material is well smeared with TECHNONICOL FIXER bituminous mastic and additionally fixed with roofing nails.

All shingle shingles have special protective strips on the back side. When laying multilayer tiles in the "dragon tooth" cut of the "", "" and "" collections, unlike all other types and collections, the protective film is not removed. This film is needed solely for the transportation of shingles so that they do not stick together.

When working with other forms and collections, the film is removed, as it protects the adhesive layer.

The installation process of “dragon tooth” shingles has one more feature - the strips are laid with a vertical seam offset of at least 15 cm so that the “petals” of the upper row completely cover the fastening of the underlying row.

The first row is laid from the lower edge of the starting strip with an indent of 1-2 cm, completely covering the nail fastening of the starting strip. On the side of the pediment, the attachment area must be smeared with TECHNONICOL FIXER mastic - approximately 10 cm wide and not more than 1 mm thick.

Recall that shingles are laid from the central axis of the roof, therefore, at the gable overhang of long slopes, shingles may have to be cut to the required width. But keep in mind that it should not be less than 20 cm and is fastened with at least two nails.

The upper corner of the extreme shingle at the gable plank is trimmed to ensure water rebound.

The common point for all forms of cutting is that in the process of laying each subsequent row of strips is laid with an offset on the half-petal.

TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS are fastened to galvanized roofing nails with a wide head of 30 mm and a length of 3.5 cm. Each form of cutting has its own number of nail attachment points.

They are nailed along a special line that is on each shingle and applied at the factory. This is very convenient - it is extremely difficult to make a mistake.

Note that the number of nails on the shingle also depends on the angle of the roof - if it is less than 45 degrees. For example, in cutting a “dragon tooth”, five nails are enough for one shingle, if the angle is larger, then eight.

They should go in evenly and the cap should not “sink” into the tile. In this case, each nail should fasten two shingles at once - along the marked line, the upper shingle and the upper part of the lower shingle. This directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire shingle structure. Important! When fastening three-layer flexible tiles of the “continent” and “atlantic” cutting shapes, roofing nails 45 mm long must be used.

The general scheme for the placement of nail fasteners and the place for applying the mastic, depending on the shape of the cut and the angle of the roof, is shown in the diagram:

Rice. Pitched roof movement system

For more comfortable and safe installation of shingles, as well as storage of materials and placement of tools, TECHNONICOL offers special brackets. They can be adjusted to 40, 50 and 60 degrees of roof inclination and do not damage the materials to be installed.

The main part of the bracket is nailed over the laid layer of tiles - the upper part to the base of the roof. When laying subsequent strips, it is closed with tiles.

The dismantling of the brackets is also not difficult - the shingle shingle is carefully bent, the fasteners (screws or nails) are pulled out, after which the bent shingle is placed in place.

Today, soft roofs not only occupy a leading position in the market, but have become a real discovery for designers and architects. Many styles, individual solutions and the possibility of easy implementation on a roof with a complex structure - what more could you want? The main thing is to achieve absolute tightness between the shingles, on which the durability of the entire coating depends. And the installation of flexible tiles will be within your power, believe me, even if you are faced with this type of work for the first time!

Therefore, if you carefully read our advice, then with the help of one more person you will cover even a large roof area. The fact is that even in the factory, the shingles are prepared for gluing, applying a special solution to the bottom layer, and they even make four holes so that you know exactly where to drive the roofing nails. And now we will tell you about all the intricacies of working with a soft roof.

Once the roof frame is ready, install the vapor barrier like a solid carpet on the inside of the roof, without gaps, and fix it to the rafters with wooden planks. On the same strips you will then fasten the inner lining of the attic.

Now take care of the vapor barrier. If the attic is cold, then all the moisture will come out of it by itself, with the help of natural ventilation. But in the case of a residential attic, vapor barrier is necessary. For this purpose, an additional bar is stuffed on the rafters, a vapor barrier film is rolled out with an overlap and glued with special adhesive tape (the usual one does not fit!).

Next, from the outside, lay the selected insulation on the vapor barrier film, preferably spaced apart. Cover with a windproof membrane on top and fix with bars, which will also later serve to create ventilation ducts.

As a result, you should get such a “layer cake”, as roofers like to call it:

We have prepared for you a detailed master class on how and in what order everything should happen:

As you can see from the above photos, it was not difficult to lay the flexible sheets on the curved lucarnes!

Step 2. Installing solid decking

For the installation of flexible tiles, a rigid solid base is required. Therefore, on the prepared crate, mount a solid carpet of plywood or OSB-boards, with a gap of 3-5 mm, which is necessary for deformation from temperature and moisture, and fix it to the rafters with self-tapping screws.

The main requirement for the base for shingles is a flat area and the ability to fix shingles with nails. For this, sheets of glued wood shavings like plywood or a tongue-and-groove board laid end-to-end are suitable. Only the board should be as dry as possible so that waves do not form during drying. But it is a big mistake to use only the crate itself under the soft roof, albeit more frequent, because already in the first season the entire roof will simply go in waves. And photos with such problems become a real asset for manufacturers who scare their customers with such mistakes.

Once the base is ready, reinforce the cornice overhang with metal strips. These are laid with an edge on the edge of the base and fastened with roofing nails, in increments of 150 mm, in a checkerboard pattern:

Step 3. Selecting and installing the substrate

Now is the time to take care of waterproofing. It is necessary in such difficult places as adjoining, joints and valleys. Here the canvases are laid from the bottom up with an overlap of 10 cm in the longitudinal and 15 cm in the transverse direction:

We recommend that you use a specially designed underlay, and not roofing paper or similar material, as is sometimes done. The fact is that they and the finishing roofing have different service life, and even conditions of use!

And such an attempt to save money will soon lead to swelling of the entire roofing carpet. In addition, no manufacturer will guarantee a roof that uses third-party materials in the pie.

By the way, until recently, lining carpets were practically not used in Russia, and even today many people strive to cheat. This is logical, because by the time the roof is built, it often turns out that the planned budget for the whole house is not enough, and you have to make concessions. But, if you want to lay a flexible tile roofing and forget about it for many decades, then do not give up such an important element.

There is always a risk that water will seep into the roof space, especially in difficult places such as bypassing chimneys or making contact with an installed antenna. There are also emergency situations when a strong wind lifts the shingles during a downpour.

Moreover, it is not difficult to pick up a roofing carpet, because. it is subject to the same requirements as for tiles: to be resistant to temperature extremes, provide reliable waterproofing and serve for a long time. And the modern market provides many options, both imported and domestic. Moreover, many plants in Russia today operate on European equipment and are not inferior to foreign analogues in terms of product quality.

In general, lining carpets are of two types: self-adhesive and mechanically fixed. Self-adhesive ones are laid mainly in valleys, and mechanical ones are rolled out on the remaining area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe roof and fixed with galvanized nails:

Here is the process of installing a conventional roofing carpet, which will need to be fixed with bituminous mastic:

Here is an example of working with a more modern self-adhesive roofing mat:

So, for a valley, a self-adhesive waterproofing carpet is ideal. And, if the slopes have a slope of more than 18 degrees, then consider laying the carpet in all places of possible leaks, and these are: ribs, ridges, gable overhang and all the exits of roofing elements.

But on a roof with a slope of 12 to 18 degrees, you will need a continuous waterproofing carpet. Prior to this, we recommend putting a self-adhesive bitumen-polymer material on the cornice overhangs, for example, "Barrier", and at the same time strive to ensure that the carpet itself is without overlap - continuous along the entire length:

Also insulate ventilation passages, areas around skylights and chimneys in advance. Before the installation of flexible tiles, coat all the passage elements with bituminous mastic with your own hands - this is not difficult.

Before you start laying shingles, you will also need to reinforce the eaves. You need to fix them with roofing nails in increments of 10-15 cm. Here is an informative video lesson from the company on this topic:

Step 4. Selecting fasteners

To fix flexible shingles, you will need special wide-head nails. It will be extremely important to nail them so that the hat is in the same plane with the surface of each shingle, and at the same time does not “crash” into it. In addition, nails for soft tiles must be galvanized.

Nails for mounting soft tiles are divided into the following types:

• Roofing nails. They have such a sharpened point that when deepened into the bitumen layer, they do not violate its integrity. Such nails are produced galvanized or without a protective layer at all. Of course, unprotected ones are the cheapest, but at the same time they are not at all practical and quickly begin to rust. These are only suitable for assembling furniture or building temporary shelters.
• Ruffed nails. On the working rod, they have special cloves that are directed towards the cap. These are not easily hammered into the wood, although it is quite difficult to pull them out even with a nail puller. And most often, in the process of dismantling, they simply cut off the head of the ruffed nails - and that's it. They fix the roofing so firmly that they are more often used for slate than for soft roofing.
• club nails have longitudinal grooves and lintels on the working rod, and they are less suitable for soft roofing.

We recommend that you take exactly galvanized ruffed nails with a head diameter of 8-9 millimeters as roofing nails specifically for flexible tiles. They also produce special nails for bituminous shingles, and they differ from standard counterparts.

These are made of durable steel wire, which is automatically cut into equal pieces, then the workpiece is sharpened on one side, and riveted into a hat shape on the other. If you see these for sale, you can buy them.

But it is important at the same time that the nails themselves comply with GOST 4030-63: the diameter of the rod is 3.5 mm, and the diameter of the cap is at least 8 mm. The thing is that in working with concrete shingles, the most unpleasant moment is when the nails, at the next blow, simply sink into the bituminous layer and violate the integrity of the coating. But the extended hat will not be able to “drown” so easily. And the larger it is, the better it will hold the shingle, which is why high-quality nails for shingles resemble a pushpin. Moreover, for single-layer and two-layer tiles, you will need nails with parameters of 30x3.5 mm, and for a three-layer one - 45x3.5 mm.

By the way, some unfortunate builders do not understand why it is impossible to simply heat the sheets of soft tiles and stick them on the flooring, why nails and all the fuss associated with them? In fact, the use of open fire on such a roof is prohibited due to elementary fire safety considerations. So forget about this risky idea and rent an automatic device.

Step 5 Place the Starting Strip

And now we proceed directly to the laying of flexible tiles. It starts from the start line. As such, you can take:

• a pattern from an ordinary tile, for example, a shingle with cut petals, if you are working with collections " Tango" or " Trio»;
• universal ridge-cornice tiles, especially if you work with " Chord», « Sonata" or " Jazz».

If it is more convenient for you to start with the eaves shingles, lay them on top of the metal strip, stepping back a little from the place of the inflection. Next, nail it with nails, but keep in mind that the longer and steeper the slope, the greater should be the indent from the bend:

This is how laying the starting strip looks in practice:

Step 6. Installation of different types of shingles

Now let's unpack the shingles. The main requirement for their installation is dry, warm weather, because it is undesirable to lay bituminous tiles at temperatures below + 5 ° C, because. in areas where it will need to be bent, it will be difficult to do without cracks.

If you still have to fasten the shingles in such conditions, then prevention will be needed: the sheets are heated with a building hair dryer and bent on a metal pipe about 10 cm in diameter. But it's better not to do that.

Calculating the required number of shingles is not difficult: take one sheet, measure the area that will be visible, find out the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe slope and divide the second by the first. Here is a valuable tip on how to calculate and prepare flexible shingles for installation:

Of course, if you have a diamond eye, then detailed calculations can be dispensed with, but marking lines serve as excellent guides along which you can align the tiles both vertically and horizontally. Especially if you are laying a soft roof for the first time.

Believe me, tearing off a few sheets and attaching them again to fix a jamb is not the most fun thing. And absolutely without marking, if some element is embedded in the roof or the general geometry of the ramp is broken. In this case, you will be helped by such tools as a beating, a plumb line and a level.

As we have already said, for convenience, ready-made shingles are usually marked with small holes at the factory so that you know exactly where to hammer nails. If there are none (for example, the cheapest collections), then just step back 2-3 cm from the edge and be guided by this illustration:

In each case, the place where the nail is driven will directly depend on the shape of the cutting of the tile itself. It is only important that each nail pierces both the lower and upper edges of all sheets at the same time, and if you are laying flexible tiles on slopes with an angle of 45 °, then the upper corners of the shingle also need to be additionally fixed.

The whole procedure for laying flexible tiles is not complicated, here are the instructions for the process itself:

1. Before laying, mix the shingles from several sticks to minimize color variation. The fact is that even in one mail the color can differ so much that you will be surprised, and such incidents will be very noticeable on the roof.
2. If the slope is long enough, start laying tiles from its center and align it horizontally. And the second row - already shifting the shingles to the left or right by half a sheet. Move the third and all subsequent rows relative to the previous one, also half the petal, to the left or right, depending on which direction you chose initially.
3. You need to start laying tiles on a slope with a smaller slope, while you should enter a steeper slope by at least 30 cm. On a steeper slope, it is recommended to beat off the chalk lines so as not to go astray. Now cut the tiles on a steeper slope along this new line, and after fixing, coat with bituminous mastic where there is no self-adhesive layer on the back side.
4. Lay the tiles from the bottom up, stepping back from the edge of the drips. Here it will be necessary to lay a special ridge-cornice tile. By the way, you can replace it with a regular one if you cut the petals.

Now secure the shingles. An automatic tool is good for this, especially if it works from the mains. Most importantly, when choosing a model, take care of your own safety: the trigger must be comfortable, with protection against accidental firing and the ability to remove a stuck nail without any risk. After all, usually a hammer is more intended for small household chores, and professional roofers rarely use it.

The only point: if special roofing nails do not fit the gun, take a ready-made clip with nails with a wide flat head. They differ in that they are interconnected by a thin wire. Here such a tape is inserted into the chamber and the nail is fed one by one. This is much more convenient when working at height: no need to look for bunches, no need to put your fingers under the blow, and the fastening itself will be of better quality than when you are already too tired on the 501st nail. The main thing is to follow the basic technology: the nail must be driven in strictly perpendicular to the plane of the shingle.

Remember, if some shingle was fixed unreliably, then over time it will loosen its fastening and fly off with a gust of wind. And the nail itself, lifted from the wind, will tear the sheet, loosening the neighboring one. And all this will lead to leakage and the necessary repairs. Of course, it will not be possible to completely do without problem areas, which is why a periodic inspection of such a roof is needed.

Now consider the features of mounting shingles of different types. So, with a single-layer tile, before installation, you need to remove the protective film, which is always located on both sides of the shingle. Why is she? The fact is that this roofing is transported by ordinary trucks both in the heat and in the heat, but we are still talking about bitumen.

But in collections with such cuts as " dragon tooth”, there is no film, it is only important to choose a beautiful pattern or lay it randomly, simply by mixing the shingles.

And how exactly to work with each type of shingle cutting, the following illustrations will help you:

Further, if you have to work with a complex roof, you have two ways of laying shingles: segmented and seamless. In the first method, divide the corner or cone into equal segments, and lay out each of them separately. And in this way, cover the entire roof. The seamless method is already more complicated: here it is important to make the correct markup of the slope and navigate along it. Think and choose the one that seems more convenient to you.

Step 7. Fixing the tiles in the valleys

And now - about the most problematic places of the roof. Valleys, namely the internal bends of the roof, you can organize in two ways: open and closed, which is also called the undercut method. The main thing then is to make a triangular rail at the junction of the roof with the wall and put tiles under it.

In addition, if the wall is brick, it must be plastered and treated with a bituminous primer. The upper part of the junction should then be closed with a metal apron, which must be fixed and inserted into the strobes, and then sealed:

Step 8. Laying ridge and back tiles

Next, we will deal with the concepts of ridge tiles. As you might guess, these are the shingles that cover the ridge of the roof. All other tiles are called ordinary. By the way, spinal tiles are obtained when the ridge-eaves are divided into three parts, or they are cut out from the usual ordinary by perforation.

To properly lay the back tiles, with the help of a cord, beat off the dimensions of the future ridge - these are two strips along it, and lay the back tiles from the bottom up. Then fix the shingles with nails on each side and make sure that the overlap of the overlying shingles overlaps the nails by 5 cm.

The ridge tiles are laid from the side that is opposite to the so-called wind rose (you can find out about this from your neighbors or from the wind map). Further - everything is the same as during the laying of the ridge. If there is no self-adhesive layer in the right places, coat it with mastic.

Now let's move on to the ribs. Here, ordinary tiles should be cut so that a distance of 3 to 5 mm remains between adjacent slopes:

Here is another great tutorial where you can go over the details of the process:

And finally, finishing work. The laying of flexible tiles is always completed by installing a ridge aerator. To do this, a special groove is cut out along all the slopes, and an aerator is inserted into it. It is fixed with nails and covered with specially ridge tiles.

Also, for a soft roof, special additional elements are made - these are the lower parts of the roof passages, which are popularly called "skirts". And so that snow does not accumulate behind the ventilation and chimney pipes, especially when their cross section exceeds 50x50 cm, you need to organize a groove. In short, you will need the following elements:

So, your roof is ready, and it remains only to properly care for it. To do this, once every six months, use a soft brush to sweep all small debris from the roof, leaves and branches. The main thing is not to use sharp tools, because it is important not to scratch the basalt chips. And clean the gutters and funnels from time to time.

Luckily, shingle roofing is highly maintainable: just warm up the damaged area, remove it, and lay new tiles. A matter of one day!

You should not save, and it is better to use a soft roof. Although the ease of installation makes the price per 1 sq. m. acceptable, for average incomes. Today we will consider the Shinglas roof, laying technology, properties, pros and cons. Most importantly, the service life of this coating is about 60 years, of course, subject to technology.

• ANDEREP GL - the principle of the device and structure is similar to that of soft tiles, it is also mechanically fastened, and does not require the use of mastics to seal the joints. Apply mainly under a soft tile.

1. Roofing nails. This is a steel fastener covered with stainless steel on top, the diameter of the nail head is not less than 9 mm. And also the diameter of the rod is not less than 3 mm. Fastener consumption per 1 sq. m. is 80 gr.

And now we will tell you why we settled on the Shinglas tile.

Because both tiles and all auxiliary materials and components are made by the same manufacturer Techno Nicol and can be bought in one place. Which is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

Installation of shingles Shinglas

As we all understand that the installation consists of many stages. The first step is to create

Foundations for laying

It should start with the fact that work should be carried out in a warm, rainless season.

We attach a membrane film to the rafters, which will protect the insulation from moisture.

We fix the film with the help of a counter-lattice.

Insulation is laid on the underside of the membrane between the rafters. We fix the counter-rail on the counter-lattice in increments of 20 cm.

As a base, we choose the most optimal option, this is OSB-3 (oriented strand board), but plywood and other building materials can also be used.

It should be fixed in the form of brickwork, using nails and self-tapping screws. The seam between the plates must be left 3-4 mm. for thermal expansion.

When using shingles from the Western and Continent collection, the base must be at least 12 mm thick. For other collections, a thickness of 9 mm is sufficient.

Lining technology

We have examined the types of lining option above, it should be noted that ANDEREP self-adhesive lining layer is used for the valley area, it is advisable to use one roll for the entire length, but if this does not work out, then the overlap should be at least 30 cm and do not forget to carefully glue the joint . The width of the lining carpet should be chosen 1 m, 50 cm from each edge.

In the area of ​​the cornice overhang, ANDEREP self-adhesive material is also used.

The material is laid on the very width of the eaves, as well as about 60 cm inside the building.

This installation method prevents water ingress.

The entire remaining surface of the roof is covered with lining material with a mechanical type of fastening. Laying can be carried out both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction. From the bottom up, in the longitudinal method, the overlap is not less than 10 cm. Parallel to the cornice overhang, the overlap is not less than 15 cm. With any method, the joints must be processed by the Fixer to the full width. The lining carpet is attached to the roof surface with roofing fasteners.

It should be noted here that after the lining material is attached, markings are applied. The marking allows you to lay evenly soft tiles, both vertically and horizontally, but this does not mean that tiles should be nailed along these lines. Everything is simple vertically, the strip is equal to the width of the tile itself, and horizontally every five rows minus 80 cm.

Shinglas shingles installation technology

We fix the starting strip, this begins. You can use a special ridge-cornice tile or the tile itself, only after cutting off the petals.

We retreat about two centimeters from the edge of the roof and stick it on top of the lining layer and nail it.

After that, we begin the installation of the initial row, experts recommend starting, from the center of the roof and unforgettably, retreat 2 cm from the edge of the starting layer.

The next layer is mounted in the same way from the center, but shifting to the left or right to the floor of the petal. So we continue to glue and nail the tiles for each subsequent row, and do not forget to shift.

Tiles in each pack may vary slightly in shade, so several packs should be mixed. The tiles are nailed with galvanized nails, the main thing is that the caps are in the same plane with the roof surface.

For different shapes of tiles, there are different amounts of fasteners and a different method of fastening.

So for the Dragon Tooth, the overlap of two layers of tiles is simultaneously fastened with a nail to make it easier to hammer in, the manufacturer marks the front surface of the roof with a thin line.

The Continent collection should only be fastened with nails 45 mm long.

The edge of the tile along the edge of the roof should be glued with impregnation to a depth of about 100 mm. this allows the roof to be protected from side rain. It is recommended to heat the adhesive layer with a building hair dryer.

We bring the top row to the ridge and cut it by 2-3 cm, to the edge of the metal bar, to beat off water. On the other side of the roof, the sequence is the same. Ridge tiles are also used for arranging ribs. Near the ribs and slopes, the coating is cut so that there is a gap of about 50 mm. Ridge tiles, laid from the bottom up, with an overlap of about 5 cm. Fastening is carried out with nails, 2 pcs each. from each side.

The series of tiles Ranch, Jazz, Country, Finnish and Classic must be bent only on a heated metal pipe, this is done on purpose so that the tile takes the desired shape and does not burst at a negative temperature.

Where the roof adjoins the wall, it is necessary to fill the wall with a wooden lath in the form of a triangle, on which the edge of the row of tiles is wound.

Also, the wall should be treated with a primer. Ridge tiles are laid on top of a row of tiles.

With an overlap on the prepared wall, but not less than 300 mm.

We carefully process all joints, seams and surfaces.

Roof care

As with any type of flooring, shinglas shingles require maintenance and repair.
