Today, there is a very huge selection of roofing materials that can not only make the house brighter, but also protect it from the influence of the external environment. One of the most popular materials is shingles. Its advantages include low weight, affordable cost, noiselessness in case of rain, as well as the possibility of its use even on geometrically complex surfaces.
As for the shape of the petals of the material, it can be different, starting from the usual triangular and ending with the trapezoidal. Sometimes it is the shape of the material that will determine the technology of its installation. But be that as it may, it is always necessary to strictly follow the installation instructions attached to the material.
To work on the installation of a roof made of bituminous tiles, it is necessary to have not only the material itself, but also lining material, frontal and cornice profiles, glue, nails and material for purlins.
For high-quality installation of bituminous tiles, it is necessary to ensure the creation of an even and continuous crate, which should not have differences in height and gaps. As a rule, either plywood or OSB board is used for this. But if the above materials are not available, then boards can be used.
After preparing the crate, it is necessary to beat it with a triangular bar, around the entire perimeter protruding beyond the perimeter of the roof of the structure. Due to this, without much difficulties, the smoothness of the transition of surfaces is ensured, as well as create, a kind of “bridgehead” into which you can clog nails when fixing the tiles.
Naturally, lining material must be laid under the roof. In the case of a roof slope of less than 18 degrees, it is recommended to lay the aforementioned material over the entire surface of the incision, if this indicator is larger, it is enough to put one strip around the entire perimeter of the roof.
The next stage of laying is the installation of special profiles on the edges of the surface of the pediments and cornices.
Now, you can start laying tiles. It is worth noting that styling begins from below the slope, from its central line. Cadet tiles are mounted on the edge of the roof, and the apple carpet on the valleys. Naturally, before starting installation, the lower film should be removed from the material. The neighboring sheets of the tiles are connected to the joint, and the apple carpet is fixed using special glue. But for reliability, it is nailed with nails.
