Knots of wooden roof structures made of flexible tiles. Knots of a roof from a flexible tile. Installation of bituminous tiles on the gable plank


Today I will tell you what roofing units are, and how the installation of roofing units from shingles from a similar process for coatings of other materials.

Features of shingle roofing units

Roof nodes are all sections at the ends and junctions with pipes, walls and other roofing objects:

  • Skate;
  • Cornices;
  • Hip Ridge;
  • Connections;
  • valleys;
  • Fronton (end).

Flexible tile ridge device

1. ridge bar put on top of the lining layer and tiles. Adjacent fragments at the joints are laid with an overlap of 3-5 centimeters.

2. Fix the planks with nails, in a zigzag: the first nail with outside, the next - from the inside. Step 10 centimeters.

3. Ridge tiles measuring 25 by 33.3 centimeters are made from a ridge strip, breaking it at the perforation points.

4. Tiles are laid along the entire ridge with an overlap of up to 10 centimeters. Fix with four nails in the corners. The overlap of the next tile overlaps the fastening of the previous one.

Attention

Some manufacturers recommend molding ridge tiles with a building hair dryer.

Installation of soft tile eaves

1. Placed on top of the carpet cornice planks(installation is similar to end and ridge).

2. Remove from the adhesive layer of the self-adhesive cornice strip protective film.

3. Lay the strip along the cornice overhang approximately 10 mm from the bend of the eaves plank.

4. Adjacent segments are laid end-to-end.

5. Fix along the edge and next to the perforation. Retreating from the bend of the gable strip by about 10 mm.

6. Joints and attachment points are covered with tiles. Joints in a run, for sure.

Installation of the pediment of shingles

metal wind bar installed over carpet and tiles. Mounting is similar to mounting the ridge and cornices.

Some manufacturers (for example, TEGOLA) include gable aprons with different scans (20, 13, 35 cm, etc.) in the package. They are fixed to a wooden wind board with the help of clamps or self-tapping screws with an interval of 30 centimeters. In this case, the upper corner of the tile blank, which joins the vertical plane of the apron, is cut at 60 degrees.

Installation of a flexible tile valley

1. First you need to lay a lining carpet with a call to a neighboring slope.

2. A valley carpet is laid along the axis of the valley. They are fixed to the base along the edge with nails after 10-20 centimeters.

3. If the length of the valley is more than 10 meters, the carpet fragments are laid with an overlap of 15 centimeters and covered with bituminous mastic.

4. Cut and lay tiles. The edge of the valley carpet should protrude from under the tile covering by 20 centimeters. When cutting under the material, plywood must be placed so as not to damage the valley carpet.

5. The tiles are laid on bituminous mastic, nails are not hammered into the valley close to the axis.

note

Depending on the manufacturer of the tile, the installation site of the valley may differ. Both in the use of materials and in laying tiles.

How to make a junction on a soft tile

1. At the junction with the wall, a wooden triangular rail 5 by 5 centimeters is nailed.

2. Tiles and lining carpet are placed on it.

3. Glue a strip of the valley carpet: 30 centimeters on the wall, fifteen on the slope. All components are fixed with bituminous mastic.

4. A steel apron (adjacency bar) is placed on top, nailed and sealed.

note

Single and double aprons are available as abutment strips. I try to use metal junctions, as they are more reliable and durable.

How to make a ridge on a soft tile roof

1. On the ridge of the hip ordinary tiles cut so that there is a gap of half a centimeter in the coating between the slopes.

2. Two strips under the ridge are beaten off with a cord on both slopes.

3. The ridge is made with ridge tiles. Mounting - from the lower point of the crest of the hip upward. Laying tiles long side across the fold.

4. Fasten with four nails in the corners. The overlying piece should overlap the mount of the previous one.

Errors in mounting nodes

  1. The absence of a valley carpet leads to leaks, because. it is the most rainy place.
  2. When installing the valley, the attachment points are made only at the edges. It is impossible to place them close to the axis.
  3. Wrong mutual arrangement elements at the junctions leads to their depressurization.
  4. On all sloping nodes, the joining elements are located with an overlap of the upper to the lower (along the line of water flow).
  5. On the ridge, overlaps are made in the direction of the wind.
  6. The thickness of the mastic layer must comply with the manufacturer's recommendations (approximately 0.7 to 1.1 mm). More thick layer leads to excessive dissolution of bitumen and, as a result, to fragility of the coating and smudges.

The cost of installation of shingle roof units

The laying of the tile itself and the installation of its nodes costs about 350 rubles per square meter (not counting the crate and preparation of the base). Make roof units from soft tiles it is better to entrust professionals. Since these are the most vulnerable places of the roof, installation errors almost always lead to damage to the appearance and leakage.

We have been engaged in roofing for 15 years, and the production experience of our craftsmen is even longer. We will install the roof itself and / or its components quickly and with excellent quality.

At your service:

  • transparent estimate, no additional costs;
  • polite Russian-speaking performers;
  • two year warranty.

The first thing people pay attention to when looking at a house is the roof, so they are very picky about the choice of topcoat. soft photo different beautiful appearance, a variety of colors, patterns, low cost, due to which the installation of a roof made of soft tiles is very popular.

In addition to aesthetic merits, soft roof there are technical advantages:

  1. service life - 50 years;
  2. excellent sound absorption;
  3. reliable thermal protection;
  4. tightness;
  5. small weight (average 7 - 8 kg / m2);
  6. non-waste (elements of the ridge and valley can be made of the same material);
  7. comparative ease of installation of shingles.

Soft tiles look good

An important plus is also that the installation of soft tiles is quite easy to perform on the roof of any configuration (with large quantity valleys, attic, chimneys, multi-level, with original asymmetry).

In this review, we will describe how to make a soft tile with your own hands, getting a beautiful durable coating.

So, let's begin.

Getting started, it is desirable to understand what the material with which you have to deal consists of.

The composition of the soft roof

Layered composition of soft tiles

The structure of soft tiles is multi-layered.

The basis is a film (lining), which prevents the sheets from sticking together during storage and transportation.

A self-adhesive composition is applied to the part adjacent to the base.

In the middle - elastic layers of polymer-bitumen mass. The base layer provides tensile strength and is made from polyester, fiberglass, or a similar material.

The outer part of the tile is made of stone chips with expanded clay granules.

This structure allows the production of tiles of various shapes.

  • It is desirable that the material was from the same batch.
  • Tiles of different batches must be mixed during installation so that there are no differences in the color scheme.
  • For large areas stingrays look very nice foil tiles, or shingles with a large pattern.

Now by choosing suitable material, moving on.

Tiled roof installation

Main nodes roof structure are:

  • continuous
  • underlayment for shingles
  • protective elements of overhangs, ends, valleys, ridges
  • roof space ventilation
  • soft tiles.

The structure determines the order of assembly.

Stages of work:

  1. preparation of tools, components, consumables;
  2. device ;
  3. flooring of lining carpets;
  4. fastening of protective cornice and end profiles;
  5. marking the roof area;
  6. device ;
  7. installation of soft tiles (shingles);
  8. closing of skates, valleys.

The roof will turn out to be beautiful and durable, if, when installing soft tiles with your own hands, you will strictly observe technological requirements. Therefore, we will describe in detail all the stages.

Required Tools

For work you will need:

  • construction knife for cutting and trimming shingles;
  • metal scissors;
  • tape measure, hammer, level;
  • hacksaw, circular saw;
  • mounting gun for sealing joints and seams;
  • spatula for applying bituminous mastic;
  • pitched stairs;
  • pencil or building crayons for marking.

Accessories, consumables

  1. crate ( OSB plate or planed edged board);
  2. bituminous mastic (or glue);
  3. lining carpet;
  4. cornice strips (drip);
  5. wind (end) strips;
  6. valley carpet or metal valley (if this element is present in the roof configuration);
  7. junction bar (if necessary);
  8. sealant, mounting gun;
  9. outlet elements of ventilation (aerators, valves, fungi and the like);
  10. roofing nails, self-tapping screws, nails for lathing;
  11. pitched tiles, eaves, ridge elements.

Lathing device


Lathing for soft tiles

The roof sheathing made of soft tiles is continuous.

For its device, a moisture-resistant oriented strand board or a dry edged board calibrated in thickness is usually used.

If you use a regular edged board, you will have to perform additional work for grinding and leveling the surface.

When laying OSB boards the joints are spaced, the gap between the plates is left about 2 mm.

The use of dry planed lumber has the disadvantage that the wood "breathes" during operation, so the gap between the rows should be 2 - 5 mm.

The thickness of the crate depends on the pitch of the rafters.

For a standard step of 0.6 m, the thickness of the plate should be 9 - 12 mm, a dry edged planed board is used with a thickness of 20 - 22 mm.

If the pitch of the rafters is 0.9 meters, the thickness of the plate should be 18 mm, edged board dry planed - 25 mm.

Underlayment carpet flooring

Carpet backing

A carpet backing is mounted along the lathing plane, which prevents slipping, deformation of soft tiles during operation, especially when snow melts and melts.

With a small slope (up to 18 degrees) of the roof, it is possible to install a carpet only along the eaves, ends, ridge and valleys.

For a steeper slope, the carpet is laid over the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe roof.

The lining carpet is produced in rolls, usually 12, 15 meters long.

  • The bottom of the valley, if any, is closed first.
  • Next, lay the substrate parallel to the overhangs.
  • The carpet is glued to the flooring with special bituminous mastic or glue. The joints are glued especially carefully.

Recently, self-adhesive lining material. If you purchase it, there will be no styling problems.

On the overhangs, it is good to release the carpet by 2 cm, tucking it under the eaves bar.

Important: be sure to ensure that when installing the substrate, there are no bubbles or wrinkles on the material.

Fastening of eaves and end profiles

Curtain plank

The cornice strip (dropper) is a corner element with stiffener. She closes the overhangs of the slopes.

The profile is fastened along the carpet along the overhang with an overlap of 50 mm, the edges are cut at an angle. The plank is nailed with a distance of 10 cm. Two nails are additionally nailed at the junction.

The installation procedure for the wind (end) plank is the same - the joints are cut, the nails are nailed along the length with a distance of 10 cm, at the joints - reinforced fasteners.

At this stage, it is possible to perform filing of cornices and roof overhangs (although it can be done after the installation of soft tiles). The filing is made with a planed frontal board, 20-25 mm thick or with plastic spotlights.

When making overhangs with a frontal board, a gap of 2-3 mm is left between the rows.

If spotlights from are used for sheathing, they have the necessary gaps for ventilation.

Roof area layout

Without professional skills, do-it-yourself installation of soft tiles is easier to do if you make markings on the lining carpet with chalk.

After measuring the slope, draw control horizontal lines at a distance of 40 cm, vertical marking is done in meter steps.


Tile marking

Ventilation device

Ridge ventilation device

Any roof must be reliable in the under-roof space to prevent the formation of ice on overhangs, icicles, fungus on wooden structures, and condensate. In general, all the negative phenomena that significantly reduce the life of the roof.

Ridge ventilation is considered the most optimal. For its device in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe ridge, we will put aerators or ventilation valves, and we will perform the filing of cornices and overhangs with gaps. Providing under-roof ventilation is an important and voluminous topic, so we will not dwell on it in detail in this review.

Well, preparatory work completed, you can directly begin the installation of soft bituminous tiles on the prepared base.

Note: although the solid surface of the battens simplifies the work, the installation requires the use of a pitched ladder. You can buy it or make your own.

roof ladder

It is made from a bar 50 * 50 mm and a board 25 * 100 mm. It is better to use dry material so that it is easy enough to move around the roof.

The finished ladder is, of course, more convenient, as it is made of aluminum tubes and is lightweight. However, the angle of the ridge is not taken into account in the purchased ladder, and with large slopes, the length may not be enough.

Installation of soft tiles

Instruction, with brief description the sequence of work developed by the manufacturer is included in each package with the material.

Important: prior to installation, the packaging should be stored at positive temperatures (preferably from +10).

When soft tiles are laid, the installation technology provides for a temperature regime of +5 degrees. If it is necessary to carry out work with negative temperatures, use a building hair dryer.

First of all, the cornice details of the roof are laid out. The lower part is laid along the drip at a distance of 2 centimeters from the roof slope, covering the profile, and carefully glued. The upper side of the cornice elements is nailed with roofing nails with a wide head (10mm) and a sealant.

Nails are not recessed, but are stuffed on the same level with the coating.

If separately cornice elements You did not purchase, you can start laying soft tiles with ordinary shingles, cutting off the petals, with a straight edge to the eaves.

Don't forget to take off inside sheets of protective film.

After making the first row, close the valley (if any).

To finish the valley, a decorative carpet 70 centimeters wide or a metal valley profile is used.

The valley carpet is glued with bituminous mastic or glue and nailed along the perimeter in increments of 20-25 cm. The metal profile is simply nailed.

Important: the nails on the valley carpet go strictly along the perimeter, they should not be in the center along the axis of the valley!

The main shingles can be laid in two ways: vertical and horizontal.

  • When laying tiles vertically, installation starts from the end of the roof.

The drawing looks the best when horizontal mounting when, after the cornice row, the laying is carried out from the bottom up, starting from the middle to the ends.

At the ends, excessively protruding above the wind bar, the tiles are cut and glued with bituminous mastic to a depth of 10-15 cm.


Valley at soft tiles

In the valley, the shingles are also cut, leaving an open part (about 10 cm) of a decorative carpet or metal profile. The edges of soft tiles are carefully glued. It is convenient to cut shingles with a knife, placing pieces of OSB or plywood.

When laying, the elements of the soft roof are glued, pulling tightly. top in the place where the drawing ends, they are pierced with 5-6 nails with a hat.

The next row of tiles covers the nails of the previous row.

Remember to constantly look at the markings, referring to the lines, to be sure that the roof goes smoothly without distortion.

The roof covering from a flexible tile differs in a practicality, ease, durability and universality. Installation of bituminous tiles is not difficult, so you can do it yourself. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the technology of work and some secrets. experienced craftsmen and stock up necessary tools and materials.

What is shingles

The material is a flexible plate with shaped cutouts along the lower edge. Their length is one meter, and their width is just over 300mm. Plates, called shingles, consist of several layers.

As a basis for bituminous tiles, non-woven fiberglass is used, consisting of glass strands “felled” together. This method allows to obtain a high-strength and dense fabric, characterized by elasticity and light weight.

On both sides, the fiberglass is protected by waterproofing layers of modified bitumen. The following are used as modifiers:

  • SBS elastomers for extra elasticity and durability;
  • APP plastomers providing high resistance to high temperatures.

Oxidized (oxygen enriched) bitumen can also be used to apply waterproof layers. In this case, the wear resistance of the tile increases.

The outer layer consists of stone granulate, which is a dressing of slate or basalt, which has various fractions. It is she who is responsible for the color of the tiled roof.

More reliable and less crumbling is considered to be basalt chips, which have rounded shapes, tightly adhering to the bitumen layer.

Powder, in addition to aesthetic appeal, performs a protective function. It does not allow:

  • melt under the scorching rays of the sun;
  • collapse under the influence of precipitation;
  • get mechanical damage;
  • lose color when exposed to ultraviolet light.

FROM back side flexible tiles dotted or in stripes, a layer of self-adhesive bitumen is applied. To prevent shingles from sticking to each other during transportation or storage, the bottom layer is protected with a special film. It is removed immediately before installation.

The main advantages of soft tiled roofing

Bituminous tiles can be covered pitched roofs having almost any geometry and a slope of 12 degrees and above. This material light enough. Square meter cover weighs about eight kilograms. It is more than six times lighter than natural tiles.

Action sun rays leads to some softening of the bitumen and soldering of the shingles into a continuous coating. A roof made of bituminous tiles acquires tightness, high moisture resistance and resistance to deformation.

A variety of lower edge shapes, colors, protective powders and coatings allow you to create an individual look for buildings. Roofs are neat, aesthetic and acquire nobility.

The bituminous tile belongs to economic materials. Except that its price and cost installation work relatively inexpensive to buy additional elements not required for ridges and junctions. They are made from tiled sheets cut along.

The laying of bituminous tiles is characterized by a minimum amount of waste remaining after installation.

In addition to the above advantages of soft tiles, it also has a number of positive qualities, such as:

  • immunity to the processes of decay and corrosion;
  • resistance to the spread of mold and fungi;
  • the impossibility of destruction of the coating by insects or rodents;
  • dielectric abilities;
  • high level of noise absorption (raindrops and grains of hail do not drum on the surface);
  • lack of mandatory installation of snow-retaining elements, due to the roughness of the upper layer of the tile;
  • ease of transportation due to the small dimensions of the roofing material.

The disadvantages of bituminous shingles include the need for careful adjustment of the base. It should not have any deviations.

Installation of bituminous tiles

In order for the roofing to look spectacular, not leak and serve for a long time, its installation must be approached responsibly. The technology of work includes several stages, each of which is an important component of the whole process.

Base device

For shingles, a properly executed base plays important role and affects the quality of the finished roofing. The main condition is that the flooring is continuous, with a perfectly flat surface.

Roof made of shingleswill look ugly even with minimal differences or curvature of the base.

As a flooring, you can choose:

  • solid crate, mounted from tongue-and-groove boards;
  • moisture resistant plywood;
  • OSB-3 boards.

The materials are placed on roof structure. It should be noted that they are without fail must be treated with antiseptics and refractory impregnations - flame retardants.

Many masters recommend leveling the base solid crate, but OSB boards can provide durability, rigidity and smoothness. In addition, they are able not only to withstand difficult conditions operation, but also significantly reduce time and labor costs when installing flooring. Therefore, the conclusion suggests itself - it would be more expedient to use moisture-resistant oriented strand boards for the construction of the base.

Materials should not be stacked tightly together. Between sheets or boards, it is necessary to leave a three-millimeter expansion gap so that in the event of thermal expansion of the products, they do not start to rear up.

The thickness of boards, slabs or plywood directly depends on the step rafter legs. The size of the board, in this case, can be 2.0 ... 3.7 cm, and plywood or OSB boards - 1.2 ... 2.7 cm. As fasteners for flooring, wood screws or ruffed nails are used.

Of great importance for the long-term operation of flexible tiles is the provision competent ventilation roofs, especially when there are heated rooms under it. Ventilation guarantees:

  • no accumulation of excess moisture;
  • the impossibility of mold formation.

For the device of natural ventilation of the roof, the following are provided:

  • channels for circulation air masses, or ventilation products;
  • air inlets located under the lower edge of the roof;
  • air outlets located at the top of the roof. Aerators, ridge or side hoods help to provide outflow.

The supply openings are closed with special gratings or soffit strips to avoid nesting birds inside the channels or possible contamination from entering them. The dimensions of the circulation channels are designed in accordance with the angle of the roof. If it is less than 20 degrees, that channel height can be equal to eight centimeters. With a larger slope, the size is taken at least five centimeters.

Lining layer for shingles

To ensure 100% protection roofing cake from possible leaks, between the base and bituminous tiles, an additional waterproofing layer of roofing material or glass isol is installed. On slopes with a slope of 12-18 degrees, a solid carpet is laid, rolling rolls along the overhangs. Cloths are laid from the bottom up with an overlap of at least ten centimeters.

With a roof slope of more than 18 degrees, the standards allow additional waterproofing to be laid only along the cornices, ends, valleys, ridges and other places where precipitation or melt water is likely to penetrate.

The width of the strips, at the same time, should be at least 40 cm, in the case of their flooring along the overhangs and ends, and at least 25 cm - on both sides of the ridge or other protruding part. The material is attached to the base of the roof with galvanized roofing nails with wide heads. Their step should be 20cm.

The edges of the sheets and joints must be additionally coated with liquid bitumen.

Pitched roof elements

Before starting the installation of soft tiles, the ends and cornices of the roof are reinforced with special metal strips. They are installed on top of the underlayment with a slight overlap and fastened to the base with roofing nails in increments of 12 cm.

The purpose of the pediment strips is to protect the lathing from atmospheric precipitation and to complete the entire roof structure.

In the valleys, a valley carpet is laid with fixing it with galvanized nails with wide hats. It is important that the color of the carpet and flexible tiles do not differ from each other, and that the materials belong to the same model range.

Tiling installation rules

To begin with, the bottom row fits eaves tiles having a rectangular shape. The protective film is removed from it immediately before installation and the sheets are laid end-to-end, retreating from the overhang by a couple of centimeters. Eaves shingles are additionally fixed with roofing nails. It is allowed to fix the sheets with brackets using a construction stapler.

Ordinary tiles begin to be mounted from the bottom up, from the middle of the slope - towards the ends, so that as a result the pattern of the roofing is symmetrical. The first row of shingles is laid in such a way that the lower edge of their edge is located at a distance of up to 10 mm from the lower edge of the cornice tile. Bituminous tiles are attached to the base with 4-6 nails.

The elements of each subsequent row are laid with a shift in relation to the previously installed tiles so that the higher petals cover the joints of the lower shingles.

At the ends, bituminous tiles are cut to size and additionally fixed with adhesive. In the area where the valley is located, trimming is done in such a way that the valley carpet is visible (approximately 150 mm wide). The edges of the shingles are also additionally glued.

Installation of ridge cover and adjoining

The ridge is made of cornice tiles, cut lengthwise at the perforation site. After removing the film, the elements are laid at the installation site and fastened with nails, first from two sides, and after installing the next part, from two more. Last tile adheres firmly to lining layer with a call to the previous tile.

Small-diameter structures, such as an antenna, that extend beyond the surface of the roof, are placed rubber seals. At the junctions with flue and ventilation pipes, as well as dormer windows and walls, on top of the lining layer, longitudinal triangular slats are installed, on which sheets of flexible tiles are inserted.

Next, a valley carpet is glued onto the pipes and walls in the color of the main coating. At the same time, it should go 20 cm onto the slope, and 30 cm onto a vertical surface. Seams are processed silicone sealant, and the upper connection is closed with a metal profile tape (adjacency bar).

Do-it-yourself installation of flexible tiles

Soft tiled roofing is easy to lay on your own. To do this, you need to study the manufacturer's instructions, designed specifically for manufactured products. General rules remain unchanged, but small differences in technology may occur.

In the event that bituminous tiles are being laid on the roof, a number of certain requirements must be observed.

Bituminous tiles production technology

Bituminous shingles were developed in the USA at the beginning of the last century. Since then her specifications have been improved, and now it is very popular in the arrangement of roofs.

Represents a basis (fiberglass) which is steady against bacteria. The base is impregnated with bitumen (ordinary or modified with SBS polymers), which gives it elasticity and frost resistance. From above, the tiles are covered with protective and decorative rough basalt granulate, which prevents the penetration of UV rays and water, and gives texture.

The entire production process consists of the following steps:

  • Fiberglass is impregnated twice with bitumen in a special apparatus.
  • The granulate is applied to the dried canvas.
  • A film is glued on the wrong side to prevent sticking of the shingles in the package.
  • Cool and apply adhesive films for easy installation.
  • Next, the sheets are cut and packaged.

The main advantages of Icopal products:

  • Convenient installation (the inner part of the profile is formed by longitudinal stripes).
  • Reliable docking (an additional binder layer of polymer is applied along the edges of the granulate).
  • Increased strength (due to Syntan technology - coating with a heat-resistant layer).

Installation of the base under the flexible roof

It is important that the materials used for the installation of shingles, as well as the coating itself, comply with certain norms and standards.

When working with a material such as shingles, laying technology involves the preparation of the surface necessary to fix the roofing material on it. There are two options for arranging such a surface: it can be presented in the form of either a continuous flooring, or as a crate for bituminous tiles. The material can be various raw materials, but the advantage is often given to wood.


To build a solid flooring as a base for soft tiles, you can use moisture-resistant plywood, particle board, edged or tongue-and-groove boards. When installing, leave a distance between separate parts equal to 3 millimeters. This is done in order to compensate for the expansion under the influence of temperature when it changes. Fasten the plywood along the edges with self-tapping screws or nailed nails.

Additional protection and durability wooden parts structures will be given their treatment with any antiseptics and antipyrines.

A serious load on the roofing material, on the roof itself and its elements is also exerted by various natural phenomena, such as snow, wind, etc.


The design of the entire structure must be in accordance with the strength and direction of the prevailing winds in a particular area, with the average amount of snowfall and other similar factors. Therefore, all this information should be used in order to choose required thickness rafter legs with the right step. This will enable the entire roof to endure any bad weather and not succumb to the resulting loads.

In addition, the laying of bituminous tiles, the instruction for which requires compliance with all of its points, requires competent provision of normal temperature regime. This concerns, first of all, those roofs under which there is residential attic room. For these purposes, it is necessary to equip good ventilation and regular ventilation of the roof. Thanks to these measures, excess moisture and mold will not appear and accumulate on the details of the structure.


Provide natural ventilation roofing can be done using the device of the following elements:

  • a hole through which air enters;
  • ducts or channels for constant air circulation;
  • holes for extraction.

Very often, a house project also includes cladding. eaves overhangs siding. In this case, special ventilation holes, called soffit strips, must also be mounted. They are designed to provide air access to the products.

Whatever roofing technology is used - bituminous tiles or other roofing material- the size of the air circulation channels should be calculated based on the pitch angle. If it is more than 20 degrees, then the height of the vents should not be less than 5 centimeters, and if this figure is less than 20 degrees, then the height of the vents should have a length of 8 centimeters.


The hood elements in the upper section of the roof can be represented according to the following principles:

Underlayment installation

This element of the roof carries the functions of protection against possible leaks of the roof structure.


In the event that the roofing angle of inclination is from 12 to 18 degrees, lay roll insulation follows the entire pitched surface of the roof. This is done according to the principle of overlapping from the bottom up between the layers. The material is fastened with the help of special galvanized nails with an enlarged hat while maintaining a step of 20 centimeters. Docking points must be treated with a special mastic based on bitumen.


In addition, before starting the installation of a base for bituminous tiles, hooks intended for installation should be attached to the rafters. suspension system drainage.

Installation of valleys, eaves and end parts

When figuring out how to lay bituminous tiles, it is important not to forget about strengthening roof overhangs using metal eaves and end strips over the lining layer. These planks must be laid overlapping and fastened with roofing nails(more details: ""). Step - no more than 12 centimeters. Along the cornice line end to end with metal bar self-adhesive tiles are laid.


Initially, the protective film must be removed from this tile, after which each of its elements is attached to the base with nails. In the valleys, a special carpet called the valley must be laid. All insulating materials it is necessary to fix with nails and process everything with the same mastic on a bitumen basis. Sometimes it is also installed, which serves more of an aesthetic appeal.

Installation of soft tiles

Due to the fact that many manufacturers of shingles produce products in which the same shade may differ. In order for the color of the coating to be uniform during laying, you should use soft tiles from several packages at once (more details: ""). You need to lay the material in rows, starting from the edge of the roof and moving up towards the ridge.


Fastening shingles

It is necessary to remove the protective film from the material, and then the coating is attached to the base with nails. For each of the sheets of tiles, you need to use 4 - 5 nails. The next layer also breaks through the previous layer. Subsequently, the elements of the material under the influence of the sun stick together with each other and fit snugly to the crate.

Laying shingles, look at the video:

Connection device

In the place where roof slope connected to the wall, it is necessary to fix the triangular metal rail, on which the flexible tile is mounted. From above there is a canvas of a valley carpet, and as a material such as glue for bituminous tiles, bituminous mastic. The strip should extend at least 30 centimeters onto the wall surface, and for regions with heavy snowfalls, this figure should be even more. FROM outer side the junction is lined with a metal apron and processed using the above-mentioned mastic. The outlets of the furnace pipes should be sealed according to the same principle.

Ridge cover device

To perform this procedure, you should use ridge tiles. It must be divided into 3 parts according to the level of its perforation and overlapped by 5 centimeters. With its short side ridge tile should run along the slope.


It is important to remember that the best option will be the performance of all work on the installation of shingles in the warm and dry season.
