Roofing is a symbol of completion of the most complex stage of construction. The appearance of the roof means that the owners switched to internal work. That is, less depends on the weather, protected from uninvited guests. Durable roof since ancient times paid special attention. And by the choice of material, some determine the standard of living of the owners. Tile roof means wealth and stability. Copper – an indicator of nobility and prestige of the owners. Wooden – commitment to classics and environmentally friendly materials.
When choosing a roof material, you will have to take into account many factors: the “pattern” of the roof, durability, appearance, climate. In regions where winds often blow, it is better to abandon a very mowed roof, otherwise the load on the building will increase. The slope angle should also be correlated with the selected material. For example, it is better not to put the tiles on flat roofs – rainwater will seep into the joints of the tiles. In addition, the greater the slope, the more materials are consumed, which means that the work is more costly.
Roof installation may cost a round amount. Many rely on their strength. In this case, patience for studying literature, endurance at altitude and several assistants can serve good service. However, without specialists, most often cannot cope. They will cope even with the most unusual “pattern” of the roof.
Related materials also affect the total cost of the roof: skates, cornices, water drainage system, crate. All this should also be taken into account.
Fire -party. The most combustible roofs on a bitumen basis are called. Less commonly, metal and clay roofs are ignited.
Builders should think about the roof still at the foundation stage. It is necessary to calculate the weight of the future roof and the weight of the frame of the building. The final figure can reach several tons. The base of the house must be built taking into account these data.
Roof material affects noise, heat and waterproofing. Drumming rain drums will surely haunt the owners of the roof of metal sheets or metal tiles. In addition, on the bottom of such a roof, condensate is more often formed. To exclude the flow of the roof, they advise waterproofing. Simple installations and inexpensive plastic films, or membranes from synthetic fibers (for example, PVC) are suitable.
Of course, you need to care for the roof. In winter, clean the snow. In a friend, the seasons are to remove garbage, moss, dirt. If necessary, treat the coating with anti -corrosion compounds, take care of the tightness of the joints. Caring for steel roofs involves regular coloring. At least once every three years. Consequences fraught with cracks or dents. If they appear, it should be painted immediately, otherwise after time it will lead to corrosion and more expensive repairs. And don’t forget about the thunderbone!
