Step by Step Installation Instructions for the roof

Installation of the roof

• V first of all, before you start laying keramoplast, you should run the crate along the rafters. They are presented in the form of boards, with a section of 150 * 150 mm, and a step - 600 mm. To make the sheathing, you should give preference to beams, the cross section of which reaches 150 * 25 mm. Laying perform adhering to a step of 380 cm, regardless of the angle of the slope of the roof.
• The next item is the treatment of all wooden structures with antiseptic preparations and fire-resistant solutions.

Vapor barrier and roof sheathing

• To prevent condensate from building up on the rafter system lay waterproofing layer.
• The laying of the ceramoplast starts from the side opposite to the main facade of the house. This is necessary in order to hide the joints of the vertical seams. As a result, the roof will look like a seamless fabric.
• The work will be performed horizontally, taking into account the main wind direction in the region.

Large roof area

• In order to understand how to cover the roof At home, characterized by a large area, keramoplast , it is important to be guided by expert advice. First, the first row is laid, and then proceed to the extreme side, moving vertically. Then you can work with the remaining rows, focusing on the lower and side rows.
• Laying can be done with a standard or zigzag principle. The first option involves the installation of sheets in a staggered manner, when the sheets do not shift. As a result, at the junction there are four sheets that overlap. Some experts advise to subject the corners to cutting, so that the layer does not come out thick, and the design remains unchanged. Laying the roof without offset angle, the sheets will need to be cut. It is worth remembering about the trim angle, which is 45ºС.

The zigzag method involves laying sheets in the second row with an offset of 1/2 sheet. Because the joint on one row is located in the middle of the sheet next row. If you prefer this method, you do not have to cut the sheets.

Fasteners

Fastening of keramoplast

During the installation of ceramoplast initial fasteners perform with the help of two mounting screws. Fastening is carried out in the center of the batten board. The guideline is a thread stretched across the crate, along which it will be much easier to fasten parts. The work is performed with notched nails. It is necessary to fasten the first sheet using fastening details in the amount of 30 pieces. For fixing the following sheets 20 fasteners are required.

To prevent sheet deformation during temperature fluctuations, on the crest of the wave, in place of the fastener, you can make a hole whose diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the fastener.

Fixing the ridge

Having finished laying the material, you can proceed to the installation of the ridge, which is attached to the joint area two slopes of the roof. The peculiarity of the fastening is that the first row of ceramoplast fasteners must be closed with a skate wing. Fastening carry twelve nails.

If you need to change the angle of the ridge area of ​​the roof, you can warm it with the help of a building dryer from the inside of the structure. An alternative to a hair dryer can be a blowtorch. Warming up is carried out to a temperature of 50ºC, which will allow the sheet to bend to the desired angle.

To completely seal the roof (to prevent precipitation and dirt from falling under the roof), wind strips are fastened from the end.
