The device of a roof from a flexible tile shinglas technology. Installation of shinglas shingles (technonikol shinglas). How to strengthen the cornice overhang
Recently, the popularity of soft roofs is gaining momentum. There is a very simple explanation for this. First of all, the excellent performance such coverage. Let's highlight just a few of them: absolute water resistance, high strength characteristics, attractive appearance, durability.
Recently, the popularity of soft roofs is gaining momentum. There is a very simple explanation for this. First of all, it should be noted excellent performance. Let's highlight just a few of them: absolute water resistance, high strength characteristics, attractive appearance, durability.
The undoubted advantage of a soft tiled roof is the rather simple installation of a flexible tile. The installation instructions involve the implementation of several mandatory steps. Installation procedure for shingles – next:
How is flexible tile laid in practice? The installation instructions offered to your attention will answer this question. The package includes all related items, for example, lining carpet. Considering the special adhesive applied on the back of the shingles, the installation instructions can be used for roofs with a pitch of 12–90°.
Do-it-yourself installation of flexible tiles
If you intend to carry out installation work yourself, then it is all the more important to know how to properly install flexible tiles. Installation instructions detailing all steps necessary work, will be especially useful in this matter.
Foundation preparation
It's plastic and soft roofing material, so the installation of flexible tiles in without fail performed on a solid foundation. Under the influence of sunlight, these characteristics of shingles only increase. If you mount the material on a sparse crate, then either the shingles simply will not lie on it, or after laying they will take the form of a crate, which, to put it mildly, will look ugly.
According to the installation technology, the base should be smooth and smooth, therefore sheets of moisture-resistant plywood or OSB are stuffed on top of the usual crate.
Attention!
Generally speaking, shingles can also be laid on a base of individual boards, but with certain restrictions on the step between them and the height difference: the maximum step should be 5 mm, the maximum difference - 2 mm. However, even under such harsh conditions, literally a year later, the "drawing" of the base is already beginning to be visible on the roofing.
Lining carpet for bituminous tiles serves additional protection roofs from leaking. For roofs with a small slope, of the order of 1:3 or less, it is laid on the entire surface of the base. At large angles of inclination of the slope, the lining carpet is used only in dangerous areas: cornices, ridge, valley, end parts.
The carpet is laid from the bottom up, starting from the lowest section of the slope, with an overlap. Having blocked the lower strip, the upper one does not allow water to flow under it. For fixation lining material use special glue and nails.
Roof overhangs need reinforcement. To do this, use metal strips for cornices and ends, which are installed on top of the lining layer.
Further stages of installation are already associated with the roofing material itself.
Bituminous tile installation
markup
Installation of bituminous tiles, especially for non-professionals, is recommended to be carried out according to the markings indicating the exact direction of installation, which is previously performed on the roof. In fact, due to relatively small size, quite often the rows are bent during the laying process, and if for small areas such a flaw is not significant and practically does not catch the eye, then for large areas they are fraught with unpleasant consequences.
From top to bottom (or vice versa), preferably from the edge from where the shingles will be laid, two straight lines are drawn in parallel, keeping a distance of 50 cm between them. Then, row lines are marked perpendicular to them in increments of 25 cm.
Laying process
Begin installation from the bottom edge of the slope.
Row 1. There are two options.
- lay the shingles upside down;
- use a special self-adhesive strip, however, it costs much more - almost twice. This row should be oriented relative to the slope.
Row 2. Starting from this row, laying continues, following the markup. The shingles are provided with a protective film on the underside. It is removed immediately before gluing and pressed to the base. Shingles are fixed with special tinned or copper-plated nails, equipped with a wide hat.
They are hammered along the edges and in the middle of each of the shingles so that two rows can be fixed at once. Moreover, the protruding forms of each of the subsequent rows should cover the caps of the fasteners of the previous ones. For each linear meter of shingles, four nails are required.
The subsequent rows are laid with a shift of half a meter. If necessary, you need to make sure that the petals of each subsequent row are located between the same elements of the previous one.
The principle of fixing the shingles remains the same regardless of the row.
This was the basic part of the installation instructions for shingles, decking and soft shingles from other manufacturers. For example, the installation of flexible tiles tilercat prima is carried out according to the same principle.
The nuances of the installation technology of shinglas shingles
The so-called hazardous areas require special attention during installation. Let's take a closer look at these steps. installation work.
- The least problematic is the laying of material on the ridge. There are several options for designing this site:
- additional ridge element made of metal. It is bought ready-made either in the form of a special metal bar, or from the same tile (ridge tile) or
- are made by themselves, cut from individual shingles. These fragments are bent over the ridge and secured with the same fasteners.
- With the valley, everything is different - according to statistics, this is an area that is sufficiently prone to leakage. Therefore, as a preventive protective measure, a substrate is used, with which they are glued with high quality. This measure is mandatory regardless of the slope of the roof - it is used even at sufficiently large angles of inclination, when not lining layer do not use. In glued valleys soft shingles do not bend, but cut in the direction of this element.
To increase the reliability of this joint, the valley must be glued with an additional layer of separate tile fragments. They are overlapped on adjacent slopes, forming valleys, and glued using bituminous mastic.
Among the wide variety of covering materials, one of the most popular today is Shinglas roofing - bituminous tiles, represented in Russia by the TechnoNIKOL Corporation trademark of the same name. It is valued for its versatility, functionality, practicality, economy and beauty. Latest developments, the best raw materials and the invaluable experience of experts are embodied in the Shinglas soft roof, which can decorate any building and withstand the test of strength in any climatic conditions with honor.
Roofing materials "Shinglas": description and characteristics
The history of soft tiles goes back over a century. Its creators are considered to be Americans - immigrants from the Old World, who found a replacement for their beloved and familiar, but imperfect and fragile clay tiles, which crowned castles, fortresses, residences, temples and cathedrals of Europe for centuries.
The residence of the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order in Malbork (Poland) looks mysterious and fascinating under a tiled roof
Initially, these were roll materials impregnated with bitumen, vaguely resembling modern roofing material. The transition to cutting canvases into separate fragments (shingles) began in 1903 and at first was limited to only two shapes - rectangular and hexagonal. But by the 30s of the XX century, the cardboard base was replaced with fiberglass, new forms of cutting appeared - a rhombus, a dragon's tooth, a beaver's tail and a three-petal model. This ensured the huge popularity of shingles among private homeowners, which has not weakened to this day. Shinglas roofing has become an attractive and democratic coating, which was taken care of by professionals and time, and now its owners can only enjoy world achievements in the production of materials for comfortable living.

Under the definition of a soft roof "Shinglas" falls a large family of roofing materials that are different in purpose, composition and method of use:
- Construction chemistry:
- antiseptics based on modern biocides, which protect the wooden elements of the roof from rot, house fungus, mold, woodworms;
- fire and bioprotective impregnations with a fire protection period of about 7 years and bioprotection for more than 20 years, which transform wood into the category of slow-burning materials;
- mastics for gluing joints of lining material, seams of soft tiles, junctions and valley carpet.
- Ventilation and drainage systems- plastic penetrations, aerators, valves, seals and ventilation outlets.
Spot aerators for soft roofs, which prevent the formation of condensate and wetting of the insulation, are usually located near the ridge
- Lining and valley carpets are high-strength and reliable rolled products with a polyester or polyester backing, as well as with sand or basalt dressing of the top layer. They are lightweight, which together with the non-slip coating ensures safe installation.
Anderep underlayment carpets for Shinglas soft roofing can also be used on copper roofs, natural tiles and shale
- Roll products and sealing tapes - vapor and wind barrier films, butyl rubber connecting tapes and diffusion membranes with a working layer of polypropylene film, which, due to its exceptional qualities, ensures the diffusion of water vapor, but prevents the passage of water. Of particular note in this group is the single-layer rolled shingle "Shinglas", which can rightfully be considered a high-quality economy class roof.

Soft tile "Shinglas"
Shinglas tiles are single-layer or multi-layer shingles with figured cutouts along the outer edge, based on fiberglass, which perfectly holds its shape and, moreover, does not deform under the action of loads acting on the roof. The fiberglass core is covered on both sides with modified or oxidized bitumen, and then the top of the product is sprinkled with mineral chips, which give the roofing decking volume, color and protect it from ultraviolet radiation. From the wrong side, self-adhesive bitumen is applied to the shingles for fixing to a continuous crate and a protective polypropylene film, which is removed before laying the tile fragments.
Flexible tile "Shinglas" is based on a reinforcing layer (fiberglass), processed on both sides special formulations thanks to which the shingles keep their shape well and do not deform under the influence of mechanical loads
Soft tile differs:
- by the number of layers - single-layer, two-layer and three-layer tiles. The more layers, the greater the strength of products, water resistance, guarantee period services and, of course, the price;
Two-layer tile "Shinglas" series "Rancho" of blue color organically complements the castle style of the house, and the textured relief gives the roof solidity and individuality
- in the form of cutting;
Shinglas tiles are cut into strips 1 m long, having petals of various shapes
- on color scheme- monochromatic shingles, with tint or blackout.
Flexible tile "Shinglas" is monophonic, darkened and with a sheen, depending on the type of crumb, which is sprinkled on the top layer
Despite the differences in characteristics, all Shinglas shingles have the following advantages:

Finished roofing systems Shinglas
Roofing systems "Shinglas" - rational decision for the arrangement of the roof, thought out by experts to the smallest detail. They conveniently combine conventional production technologies and innovative materials, corresponding to the national quality certificate ISO 9001:2015, which is a guarantee of their durability. Developed Shinglas systems both for cold (attic) and mansard roofs.
"TN-Shinglas Attic"
The Mansard system is in great demand in private housing construction during the construction of a warm mansard roof. Her hallmark is the use of a superdiffusion membrane over heat-insulating material, which helps to instantly remove wet vapors from the insulation, thus preventing heat loss. The structure of the Shinglas Mansarda system is as follows:
Advantages of the finished Shinglas Mansarda system:
- ease of installation;
- the ability to use on a variety of roofing configurations;
- a large selection of colors and shades, as well as forms of cutting shingles of the upper flooring;
- protection from noise and providing an excellent microclimate in the attic room.
"TN-Shinglas Attic PIR"
A feature of the finished PIR Attic system is Logicpir rigid fire-resistant insulation based on polyisocyanurate foam (PIR), laid along the edge of the rafters. The heat insulator used makes it possible to refuse from laying a superdiffusion membrane, since the slabs Logicpir aluminium foil creates a durable waterproof layer that reliably protects the roof structure from moisture. AT roofing cake"TN-Shinglas Attic PIR" includes the following components:

The device of a soft roof "Shinglas"
The finished roofing systems described above most fully demonstrate the composition of the roofing cake for a soft tile coating. If desired, other insulating and insulating materials can be used, but the laying sequence should remain unchanged:
There are no restrictions on the installation of the Shinglas soft roof. However, installation work must be carried out in accordance with SP 17.13330.2011 with additions and changes due to the appearance on the market of new building materials and SNiP 2.01.07–85 as amended in 2008 for calculating snow and wind loads. In addition, it is advisable to listen to the recommendations of Shinglas manufacturers:
- To create the best thermal protection of the house and the durability of the building envelope, it is necessary to include a continuous vapor barrier in the composition of the soft roof, provide good ventilation and lay insulation of the thickness that is optimal for a particular area.
- It is not recommended to use products with different color codes on the same roof. To minimize color disharmony, it is advisable to randomly mix 5-7 packs of bituminous shingles prior to installation and mount the Shinglas in diagonal stripes.
- If roofing works are carried out at outdoor temperatures below +5 ºC, then Shinglas packages should be served from a warm storage to produce no more than 5–7 packs and the self-adhesive strip on the shingles should be heated with a heat gun.
- In order to prevent violation of the solidity of the soft roof, you need to cut the materials on a specially placed board.
- Avoid exposure to the shingles "Shinglas" scorching sunlight to prevent untimely sintering of the adhesive composition with a silicone protective film.
- In clear, hot or cold, humid weather, it is recommended to use special manholes to move on the roof. This will prevent the formation of stains on soft cover and footprints.
- For free separation of the shingles from each other, you need to slightly bend and shake the package before opening.

Calculation of material for soft roof "Shinglas"
Before starting installation work and purchasing materials, you need to calculate the roof using an online calculator (often it can be found on the official website of the bituminous tile manufacturer) or manually using the geometric formulas for the area of a square, triangle, trapezoid, etc., taking into account overlaps, waste and marriage. If a house project was originally made, then all the necessary initial data for the calculation are contained in working documentation. Otherwise, after building truss system and checking the geometry of the slopes, you will have to draw a sketch of the roof on paper and put measurements on it.
With absence project documentation for the calculation of roofing materials, a sketch of the roof is required
Let's carry out calculations manually with the following initial data:
- house size 10x20 m all-season residence;
- gable roof with a slope length of 6 m, together with a cornice overhang, which has a brick chimney with an area of 2 m² and a perimeter of 6 m, as well as one sewer outlet and a roof window with dimensions of 2.2x1.5 m and an area of 3.3 m².
To determine the amount of roofing material, you must perform the following steps:
Thus, to cover the roof in question, you need to buy 95 packs of Shinglas "Country" shingles.
When calculating auxiliary materials based on existing rules:
- consumption of fasteners (nails) is 80 g/m²;
- the need for mastic compositions: for gluing overlaps of lining material - 100 g / linear meter, valley - 400 g / linear meter;
- consumption of mastic for sealing joints - 750 g / linear meter when applying a layer with a thickness of not more than 1 mm.
It is advisable to check self-made calculations using online calculators, which are usually posted on the websites of roofing manufacturers.
Similarly, the number of trim strips is calculated: N d \u003d L ∙ (1 + K) / L s, where L is the total length of any type of additional element (ridge, cornice, etc.) in linear meters, K is the percentage of marriage and trimming of the material, Lс - quantity running meters in one package. The K coefficient is usually taken equal to 5–10% (0.05–0.1). For example, required amount drip strips for our roof will be equal to 2 ∙ 10 ∙ (1 + 0.1) / 2 = 11 pcs. It is assumed here that two cornices 10 m long each are closed with a drip, and the standard length of the additional plank is 2 m.
After purchasing everything you need, you can proceed with the installation of the Shinglas Country soft roof, following all the recommendations, in order to get an attractive, absolutely waterproof and durable roof as a result.
Shinglas shingles installation
The arrangement of any roof, including when using the Shinglas soft roof, must be carried out in accordance with the rules and regulations, as well as installation instructions.
First of all, you need to remember that a standard roofing pie for bituminous tiles is arranged on roofs with a slope of at least 1:5, that is, 12 º. Otherwise, it is necessary to install a double underlayment and increase the ventilation gap to 80 mm.
Work order:
- Shinglas soft roof installation begins with stuffing a solid, even and secure base over the sheathing. It should provide good air circulation under the roof, for which the supply holes are placed at the cornice overhangs, and the exhaust holes are placed closer to the ridge. The basis for flexible tiles is made of OSB-3 boards, moisture-resistant plywood or edged board with humidity not higher than 18–20%. The boards of the base (or slab) must be at least two spans long between the bearing supports, butted on the supports and fixed with four nails. To avoid swelling during the linear expansion of wood, gaps of 1–3 mm are left between the elements of a continuous flooring. When arranging a wooden base, the boards are pre-sorted by thickness, placing the thicker ones at the cornice overhang so that the base plane is as even as possible.
- A lining carpet is laid transversely or longitudinally on the prepared solid flooring as an additional waterproofing. There is one caveat here - with a roof slope of less than 1: 3 (18º), the lining carpet is laid over the entire surface. In other cases, partial laying is acceptable in particularly problematic places - on roof overhangs, ridges, valleys, ribs, ventilation passages, skylights and chimneys Oh. The lining material is mounted without sagging with an overlap of 15 cm strips, gluing the seams and fixing the edges roofing nails with an interval of 20 cm.
The order of laying and fixing the lining carpet is determined by the angle of the roof
- Metal eaves and end strips are installed over the lining carpet for reinforcement and protection. roof overhangs. They are laid with an edge and fixed in a checkerboard pattern with an interval of 12–15 cm with roofing nails. The planks are mounted with an overlap of 30–50 mm and the overlaps are stitched with two nails to ensure strong connection. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe cornice overhang, brackets for gutters are fixed. A valley carpet is laid with an overlap of 30 cm, gluing it to the lining material with mastic or bituminous glue and fixing it along the edge with nails.
The valley carpet is laid over the underlayment, fixing it to bituminous mastic and roofing nails.
- Before installing the shingles, the slopes are marked to align the Shinglas vertically and horizontally. Then lay the starting row of ridge-cornice universal tiles, starting from the middle of the cornice overhang and moving towards the ends. The protective film is removed, the shingles are glued to the underlayment carpet and each is fixed with four, and with a steep slope - with six nails. Next, a bituminous ordinary tile is mounted with an offset in each row by half a petal. For some collections, the offset interval can vary between 15–85 cm, while the coating pattern turns out to be abstract.
Shinglas shingles are additionally fixed with nails so that the top row of the coating overlaps the nail heads
- The shingles are laid in pyramidal or diagonal stripes, depending on the type of cutting. At the ends, the fragments are cut and glued to a width of 10 cm from the edge. The same is done in the places where the valleys pass.
At the edges of the slopes, the shingles are cut and laid on a layer of bituminous mastic 10 cm wide
- Arrange roof penetrations. For small output elements (aerators, antennas), rubber seals are used, and thermal insulation is laid around the chimneys. At the junction of the chimneys with the roof, a triangular rail is stuffed around the perimeter and the pipes are wrapped for complete sealing self-adhesive tape 25 cm up the pipe and 20 cm down the slope. From above, the material of the valley carpet is laid to a width of 50 cm with sizing mastic and covered with a metal apron.
Small exit points ventilation elements sealed using rubber seals, and the passage of chimneys is protected with a heat insulator with a lining of a valley carpet
- Decorate the edges of the slopes and skates. For ribs, ridge-cornice tiles are used, dividing it into 3 parts along the perforation line. The arrangement of the ridge begins from the side opposite to the dominant winds. Cut ordinary shingles that go to the ribs and ridges, leaving a 3-5 cm slot between the slopes to enhance ventilation. Then, with an overlap of 5 cm, they are laid ridge tiles and fix each fragment with four nails (2 on each side), making sure that each subsequent element overlaps the fasteners of the previous one. When performing work in cold weather, in order to prevent cracking of the material, it is recommended to form a break in each fragment before mounting the ribs and ridges, using a metal pipe 10 cm in diameter heated to 40 ºC.
The edges of the slopes and ridge knots are trimmed with special strips consisting of three shingles

Operation and repair of a soft roof
When operating a Shinglas roof, you must follow simple generally accepted rules of care:
- Check the condition of the soft roof twice a year - in spring and autumn.
- Remove small debris, leaves and branches with a soft brush, and sharp objects- manually.
- Periodically clean drains to ensure free flow of water.
- Timely remove snow from the roof with a wooden shovel, removing it in layers and leaving a protective snow cover 10 cm thick.
- If any defects are detected during the inspection, immediately proceed to repair the coating.

Current repair of the roof "Shinglas"
Soft roof shinglas- excellent repairable material. Therefore, in case of damage caused by various factors, it is permissible to do local repairs of the roofing on your own. For this:
Manufacturers of shingles "Shinglas" give a long-term guarantee for their products. However, in case of violation of laying technologies, building codes and rules, as well as when using low-quality components, the guarantee for a soft roof does not apply.

- Arrangement of the valley, ribs, ridge, domed roofs, junctions and penetrations
A roofing system coated with Shinglas bituminous tiles should consist of a continuous vapor barrier on the side of the room, thermal insulation of the required thickness, and a windproof film. The roof space must be ventilated. Without ventilation, damp fumes will accumulate in and above the insulation layer.
The color code on the packages of shingles is checked before laying, it must be the same. With the same code, a slight mismatch in shades is possible. To make it invisible, the material from several different packages is mixed. It is recommended to lay with diagonal stripes.
If the air temperature is below +5°C, laying the material is possible, but with some restrictions. Packages are kept in a warm room. They are lifted onto the roof in several pieces only before installation. Adhesive strips are recommended to be preheated. For this, a building hair dryer is used.
Trimming of shingles is performed on a rigid substrate (plywood sheet, board). Cutting must not be carried out on bituminous tiles that have already been laid (there is a risk of damage to them).
Packages with material are stored away from heat sources and not under direct sunlight. Heating is excluded so that the adhesive strips do not stick together with the siliconized film (it should be easily removed).
When storing packages on pallets, they are not stacked (each pallet is placed separately).
To ensure that the sheets of material are well separated from each other, each package is slightly bent, shaken before opening.
It is not recommended to walk on an already installed coating if the installation is carried out in sunny or humid, hot or cold weather(may leave marks or stains). Westmet engineers recommend leaving manholes for access to desired area on the roof.
materials
Bituminous tile Shinglas. Used as a base coat. There are more than 70 models in the catalog. Fitted according to the instructions below.
. Used for additional waterproofing and leveling of solid flooring, increase the life of the roofing system. The line includes:

On the surface there are thermoactive strips that stick together during operation, increasing the reliability of waterproofing. In the GL PLUS version, the edges are additionally protected with an adhesive layer.
Bituminous mastic is not used when laying carpets.
End carpet. It is used in valleys, at junction areas. Supplied in rolls. The basis - from polyester, reinforces a layer of the SBS-modified bitumen. Outside surface- a layer of colored basalt granules. The valley carpet is matched to the color of the roof, used in areas where the risk of leaks is increased.
Planks: adjoining, end, eaves, pediment. Used as accessories. Base - galvanized steel. Coating - polyester or granulate (protects against corrosion). When installing the roof, strips of the same color as the roofing are used.
Fasteners. TECHNONICOL completes bituminous tiles with roofing nails 45x3.5 or 30x3.5. Made of galvanized steel, have an annular knurling (five times more securely held in the flooring). The cap has been enlarged. After installation, the fastener caps are hidden by the petals of the overlying shingles.
Mastic. It is used for gluing shingles of bituminous tiles to the underlayment carpet, in areas of contiguity, laying valley carpets. TECHNONICOL №23 FIXER contains bitumen, polymers, solvents, fillers. It is a cold mastic (does not require heating before use).
. Air elements, aerators, TECHNONICOL valves are used to organize the removal of wet vapors from the under-roof space, and a sufficient amount of air is provided.
Auxiliary materials can be replaced by third party products provided they have similar characteristics.
Terminology
Flexible roof consumption rates
The useful coverage area is indicated on each package of material. For most cutting forms and collections, it is 3 m 2 /pack. Exceptions:
Mastic consumption
It differs for different nodes, sections:
- joints of lining carpet sheets - 100 g/r.m. m (mastic is used if the lining carpet does not have self-adhesive strips along the edges);
- valley carpet - 400 g/r.m. m (the edges are glued around the perimeter);
- adjoining - 750 g/rm. m (the edges are glued along the junction).
Observing the consumption rate, make sure that the mastic is applied thin layer(up to 1 mm). It is impossible to increase the thickness of the layer so that swelling does not form in the overlap areas.
Modern flexible tile is a unique roofing material with which you can realize any architectural idea, revive country house and make it elite country cottage. And in this article we will consider all the advantages and disadvantages of the popular shingles. domestic production, which comes from the Shinglas brand.
To begin with, you will be interested to know that the popular Shinglas soft roof - Russian production. It is produced by the manufacturer of various building materials TechnoNIKOL, which is known to many for its roll-on welded roofing. And here the rule no longer works that domestic is always worse than foreign. Why? Now we'll figure it all out!
What is a flexible tile Shinglas?
So, let's first deal with the concepts so that you can understand what will be discussed next. So, the basis of the Shinglas tile is fiberglass, which provides the roofing material with sufficient elasticity and density. It is clear that the elasticity parameter directly affects the flexibility of the tile, and the final quality of the product depends on the density.
The base of the tile is covered on both sides with layers of bitumen (which is why soft tiles are called bituminous). The quality of the layer affects the elasticity of the material, wear resistance and water permeability. Next, the top and bottom layers of shingles. The top one is covered with basalt chips, which makes the product resistant to any weather conditions, plus decorative effect. And the lower layer of the tile is covered with a polymer mass and a protective layer, which should prevent further destruction of the roof sheets if some violations of the technology were made during the installation.
There is an adhesive strip underneath. Moreover, this is not just glue - it is a frost-resistant polymer mass that covers up to 60% of the shingle area and ensures reliable laying of roofing material. And finally, the protective layer is a silicone easily removable film that protects the sheets from sticking together.
As a topping for this tile, a special granulate is used, which is produced by Tegola. This is a basalt crumb of three fractions at once, i.e. the most durable and strong rock is used as raw material, which is not afraid of any weather. And the granulate itself is pre-painted by high-temperature firing, so that the roofing does not change its color throughout the entire service life.
The main advantages of Shinglas
The main advantage of domestic shingles Shinglas is 100% tightness. But, of course, other indicators are also pleasing:
- Flexibility that allows you to equip the roof of the most complex configuration - from almost flat surfaces with a 12 ° slope to intricate domes.
- Light weight, and therefore there is no need to strengthen the rafters.
- Biological stability - neither corrosion nor decay threatens such a roof.
- Absolute water resistance and frost resistance. Such a roof does not absorb water at all due to its non-porous structure.
- Wind resistance is a wonderful roofing quality for the windiest areas, where ordinary corrugated board breaks in one jerk.
- Chemical resistance. Shinglas tile, thanks to its dressing and protective layers, easily tolerates both acid rain and salt ingress.
- Practical and economical: low waste even at the most complex sites, affordable price and valuable for transportation compactness.
Impressive? But all this is due to the special production technology of Shinglas. And the new collection of three-layer tiles conquers at all:
Shinglas soft roof collections
In total, 22 colors, several types of shingle cuts and options for the number of layers are used to create various combinations of Shinglas soft tiles. For example, the most popular TechnoNIKOL Shinglas series are Jazz and Country. New - two-layer tile"Rancho" and three-layer "Continent".
All series of flexible shingles Shinglas mainly differ in the mass of bitumen used and in the quality and color of the dressing. So, for example, the series "Ranch" is distinguished by simple colors, and "Jazz" and Country" are already for real connoisseurs of design, because they use more expensive dressing and the ability to create a bright pattern. As for the thickness of bitumen, it grows from the Ranch series to Jazz, which is why there is a difference in price.
If you are looking for a roofing material with soft, natural shades that will never go out of fashion - pay attention to the Country series. Here are seven model lines that bear the names of American states.
Tiles of the "Ultra" series are different unusual shapes and visible bright colors- blue, gray, green, red and brown. Such a roof is good for implementing a variety of design ideas.
But the Jazz series presents 7 types of spectacular imitation of a variety of architectural styles– from classic to modern. The thickness of this tile is quite large, and therefore the quality is one of the best series presented.
But we will talk about collections not only from the design side (color, texture, cutting), but also from the side of quality and durability. Therefore, all Shinglas collections are divided into three main groups: single-layer, two-layer and three-layer.
Single-layer tile Shinglas: neat style and practicality
A single-layer tile, as you already understood from the name, is a shingle glued to a solid base. The volume of such a roofing imitates a specially applied shadow. It looks good, and the only question is practicality.
Pay attention to the Samba series, which compares favorably with its bright colors:
On Jive, which is made according to noble classical motives:
And the popular quadrille:
Two-layer shingles Shinglas: 3D effect of volume
The multi-layer tile has the best quality, is rich in color solutions, leaves almost no waste and is easy to install. Such a tile will cost you 20-30% more than a regular single-layer one, but there are reasons for this. The main difference is in the manufacturing technology. In this case, several sheets of soft tiles are used, which are interconnected with bituminous mastic. Of course, the result is a completely new level of quality.
So, the advantages of a double tile are as follows:
- Durability. The warranty period for such a product is two to three times higher than for ordinary single-layer tiles.
- Reliability. It is clear that two layers of any material in terms of their technical performance are at least twice as good as one layer.
- Strength. It is no longer easy to damage such a roof, and certainly not an apple that has fallen from a tree.
- Ease of installation. Here, the layers are glued together in the factory, and therefore they do not need to be combined on the spot. This is a valuable item, as not all of us are aesthetes and not all of us have such a good eye to perfectly combine segments of different colors with each other.
- Design. Now you can see the volume, texture, and texture. Such a roof looks much more spectacular and more expensive than just a flat pasted image, even with a shadow. This type of soft roof is already more realistically called a tile, and not its imitation.
Two-layer tiles are also loved by professional exterior designers - for its volume, richness of color and texture. And for the fact that with its help it is quite easy to hide any flaws in the roof.
And two-layer shingles are almost indispensable when you need to cover the roof. complex shape, with all kinds of turrets and pediments. But we know that modern architects have unlimited imagination!
Three-layer tile Shinglas: a new word in construction!
These tiles are the roofing of the future! First, the top third layer serves as an additional mechanical protection roofs, and secondly, it allows you to achieve a stunning three-dimensional effect. See for yourself:
Subtleties and nuances of installation
Shinglas products can cover the roof even with a slope of less than 11 °, not to mention other angles of inclination. Moreover, it is possible to carry out the installation of this soft tile even in the cold season - you just need to hold the rolls in a warm room in advance so that they can be straightened.
What is good, the manufacturer TechnoNIKOL made sure that the adhesive base does not change its properties even at sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, it is possible to work with Shinglas tiles even when negative temperatures, just need to warm up the adhesive strip building hair dryer if the temperature falls below +10°C.
And now let's take a closer look at all the subtleties and nuances of working with this roofing.
What will you have to deal with?
At the moment, many promotions from TechnoNIKOL are being held in Russia, where detailed master classes are held on the installation of soft tiles. As a result, sales increase significantly, because any person is inclined to purchase what he has already figured out in reality. And therefore, even in the remote corners of Russia, you can find old houses with new soft tiles - marketing is doing its job. But let's talk about the cons.
A significant disadvantage of Shinglas soft tiles from TechnoNIKOL, which can spoil the whole impression, is the need to choose colors yourself. Moreover, if you bought some series you liked at the same time, and then considered that it wasn’t enough, and after six months or a year you bought the same one, you can’t put them together. Because the shades will already be different, which will become noticeable. In addition, they come across different sometimes even in the same pack!
True, nimble consumers have found a way out. We buy 4-5 packs and just mix the colors. It turns out stylish, and no one will notice the difference. You have to be a designer! But many other manufacturers supply their products with ready-made colors, over which you do not need to rack your brains. Although who likes what.
Preparatory work
So, first of all, solve the issue of ventilation. So, if under the roof there will be only non-residential attic, without ventilation is indispensable. This is important so that hot air does not collect under the roof in summer, and moisture can freely escape. You don’t want the rafters to get damp in just a couple of years, do you? Therefore, be sure to put it above the level of the skate ventilation pipe. The fact is that shingles are almost as vapor-tight as roofing material.
If there is no need for waterproofing, then the vapor barrier cannot be forgotten - just stretch the film from the inside, under the roof.
Choosing a base
But what do you need to glue flexible tiles? For this purpose, even planed boards, OSB boards and moisture-resistant plywood are quite suitable. Such materials are not only durable, but also hold dynamic loads from nails well. But the usual lining cannot be used - it is easily split by thick nails, which have to be used to fasten the tiles. Moreover, plywood, due to its structure, in practice turns out to be much stronger than an ordinary board of the same thickness.
In any case, the main requirements for the base under the tiles are as follows:
- Absolute dryness - otherwise, then all the tiles will walk, and the solution to this problem will not be cheap.
- Rigidity - no deflection!
- Perfect evenness - such that the maximum difference in height is within one square meter must not exceed 2 mm!
- Strength. Yes, shingles are light, but you can't forget about the snow, right? Remember how hard it is to remove snow on heavy days, and now imagine how much pressure it exerts with a layer of only 30 cm!
Make the rafter step 50 cm if you use a solid board, and 90 cm if you have plywood. Here is a good example:
Mounting technology
So, we proceed to laying the Shinglas soft roof, having previously laid a lining carpet on the finished base. In principle, any of those offered by the modern market is suitable here, but TechnoNIKOL itself advises taking Anderep Barrier or Anderep Prof brand carpets, because. they have a special propylene protective layer.
Although there is such a practice when the lining carpet is not laid over the entire roof, but only in the most problematic places - where there are junctions, around skylights and pipes:
But it’s better to do everything from the very beginning technologically correctly:
- Step 1. First, lay the lining carpet in the valley and fix with nails in 20 cm increments, and then mount in rows from the bottom up - so that they are parallel to the cornice, with an overlap of 10 cm in the longitudinal position and 20 cm in the transverse position.
- Step 2. Fix all edges of the lining carpet with nails at intervals of 15 cm, glue the seams with K-36 glue, and leave an additional overlap of 15 cm on the carpet in the valleys.
- Step 3. Installation of the Shinglas soft roof according to the rules is carried out from the bottom up, over the entire surface of the slopes. Then we glue and nail the tile itself.
- Step 4. Do not forget to remove the protective film from each tile. And that part of the tile that will be close to the gable overhang, further process special glue or mastic layer width up to 12 cm.
- Step 5. We close the ridge with cornice tiles.
- Step 6. And now it is important to protect the edges of the base from rain and snow. Therefore, we mount metal cornice strips. They need to be laid with an overlap of 5 cm and hammered with three nails so that they flash through both planks. Fasten in a zigzag pattern, in 10 cm increments.
- Step 7. To protect the laid soft tiles from moisture during rain, lay an additional valley carpet along the valleys. Glue it along the edges and fix it with roofing nails in 10 cm increments.
- Step 8. If the roof slope is less than 12°, then, to avoid leaks, lay the self-adhesive underlayment in two layers, and the ventilation gap between wooden base and insulation increase to 80 mm.
We offer you two detailed master classes that will clearly explain everything to you:
That's all the difficulty. Feel free to purchase domestic tiles, and perform installation in accordance with all the rules. Then the result will surely please!
Flexible tile SHINGLAS is a modern flexible coating for pitched roofs produced by TECHNONICOL Corporation. The shinglas roof has several shape options and many colors; it has found wide application in the construction of residential buildings, administrative and public buildings having pitched roofs, thanks to durability, noise absorption, frost resistance and ease of installation.
The SHINGLAS tile is a multilayer material, the middle layer is made of fiberglass, it is treated on both sides with bitumen-polymer binders. Protective layers are provided above and below, basalt topping with coarse grains is used for the front layer, fine fraction topping is applied from below. On the lower finish coating, a self-adhesive layer of bitumen-polymer substance is provided, for the reliability of the installation of the coating, it is protected by an easily removable siliconized film. Coating from multi-layer tiles SHINGLAS is used for both cold attic roofs and mansards. Bearing structures can be metal, wood or reinforced concrete. Shinglas roof requires a device solid battens and laying special roll material providing additional waterproofing. The attic similarly includes a lining layer, and flooring. Warming is made mineral wool insulation. A PVC hydro-windproof membrane is laid on top of the insulation; it allows air to pass through, but protects from wind and rain. From below, the insulation is also protected from evaporation from the underlying premises with a vapor barrier film. Shinglas tiles are used for pitched roofs both when laying the primary coating, and when replacing an existing one. The slope of the roof must be 12° or more.. Installation of a shinglas soft roof includes several operations according to the instructions:
- fixing tiles of the material with roofing nails with broadened hats;
- gluing the material tiles together due to the self-adhesive layer;
- sealing device roofing knots using a special mask.
Roof base
The step of the lathing in wooden rafter roofs is taken in the range from 0.6 m to 1.5 m, the thickness of the base directly depends on it.| Rafter pitch / Lathing, mm | OSB-3 thickness | FSF plywood thickness, mm | Board thickness, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 | 9 | 9 | - |
| 600 | 12 | 12 | 20 |
| 900 | 18 | 18 | 23 |
| 1200 | 21 | 21 | 30 |
| 1500 | 27 | 27 | 37 |
- oriented strand board;
- moisture resistant plywood (FSF);
- grooved board, edged.
The laying of the shields must be carried out so that the seams between them do not coincide with each other, observe the run-up, fasten to the crate with self-tapping screws or nailed nails. All wooden structures covered with impregnations to protect against biological damage and fire protection.
If the installation of tiles is planned in winter or autumn, at temperatures from +5˚С and below, it is important to follow a number of rules: - store the material in a heated room and feed it to the roof directly during the installation process;
- heat the adhesive layer with a building hair dryer before installation.
Material laying
The instruction for the installation of a flexible coating, in addition to the waterproofing carpet produced by TechnoNIKOL, provides for the installation of an additional carpet made of a special material of the OSGCh Barrier. It is a rolled, bituminous polymer material that is glued to the flooring thanks to a self-adhesive layer. This may be necessary in places characteristic of leaks, such as valleys, cornices, frontal overhangs, ridges, ridges, places where communications pass through the roof. The material must be laid, observing certain rules:- in the valley zone, the material is placed on both slopes of 50 cm each;
- along the cornice edge, the material is laid over the entire width of the overhang, with a spade of 60 cm in the direction of the ridge;
- along the valley, the material should be laid in a single sheet, without joints;
- if it is impossible to comply with the previous rule, the overlap must be at least 30 cm, with the material glued together;
- additional carpets can be made from ordinary lining material, while it must be glued to the base using bituminous mastic.
Overhangs are framed cornice strips. Fastening is carried out with roofing nails to the flooring in increments of 12–15 cm. end strips gables are framed, they are fastened over the lining layer to the ends of the roof structures also in increments of 12–15 cm. The planks should have an overlap in length of 0.3–0.5 cm, in such places the planks are fastened in increments of 0.2–0.3 cm. SHINGLAS installation
For ease of laying, it will be useful to apply marking lines to the coating, they will help align the material when laying in both directions. The verticals are applied in increments of 1 meter, along the length of the ordinary tile, and the distance between the horizontals is made equal to five heights of the material tile, which is 80 cm.
Ordinary shingles look like a sheet certain form, with dimensions of 1x0.335 m, with cutouts on one side, imitating petal tiles. The number of nails with which the tiles are fastened increases with the increase in the angle of inclination of the roof.. The greater the angle of inclination, the more fasteners are used; for roofs with a slope of 45–90 degrees, an average of 2 times more nails are required than for roofs with a slope of 12–45 degrees. It is important to properly drive nails into the material, the head of the nail should not crush the material of the tile, the tie-in can cause damage. The distance from the edges to the fasteners should be 2-3 cm. The fastening points and the distance between the nails, depending on the shape of the tile sheet and the angle of inclination, can be seen in the figure. Dotted lines indicate the location of the adhesive layer. 
For execution correct coverage it is important to follow the instructions for laying the material. The starting strip is attached first along the cornice line. Usually, a special cornice-ridge tile is used, it has a rectangular shape and is universally suitable for both the cornice and the ridge. The strip can also be cut from ordinary ordinary tiles. The first row almost completely covers the first strip, it is attached 1–2 cm above it. Laying sheets from the center in both directions, it is convenient to carry out for more accurate alignment of the material. The next row of shinglas should be attached so that the bottom of the cut tiles in the next row is flush with the top edge of the tiles in the first row. By shifting to one side or the other relative to the previous tile by half a petal, all rows of the slope are performed. Where the tiles do not have a self-adhesive layer, along the edges of the roof, it is necessary to smear them with bituminous mastic for 10 cm. The tiles must not be brought to the edge gable plank by 2–3 cm. 
A valley is a pairing of two slopes, which is an internal break in the coating. In the valley area, tiles are laid in the following order:
- if the slopes approaching the valley have different angles of inclination, the material is laid first on a more gentle slope, the tiles should cover the adjacent slope by 30 cm;
- each edge entering the opposite slope is fastened with nails;
- trimming of the material is carried out at a distance of several centimeters from the central axis of the valley towards a steeper slope;
- trimming is carried out for each tile, it is also necessary to coat the edge of each tile with bituminous mastic, in places where there is no adhesive layer.
The ridge is the junction of two roof slopes, which is an external fracture of the coating. Installation of tiles on the ridges of the coating is carried out in the following sequence: - tiles of material adjacent to the ridge are trimmed to create a gap 0.5 cm wide;
- along the break, two lines are outlined, the width of the future ridge;
- tiles begin to be fixed from below, moving up, fastening is carried out with four nails, two on each side;
- the overlying tile should overlap the previous one by 5 cm and overlap the nails.
