Not every owner wants to pay for work that he is able to do. Among the many options for improving comfort in the house, roof insulation is a special place. For such a thing, a metal tile is perfect . Do -it-yourself laying of this material implies over-cutting of the insulation.
Thus, to make the house warm, you need to make the roof of high-quality and durable materials. Among the many options for roofing, the metal tile remains in a special account. Do-it
-yourself roofing is quite simple if you follow the recommendations in the instructions.
Where to begin?
Before making the purchase of materials, it is necessary to calculate the metal tiles, insulation, beams and other components from which we will make the roof. Let's first look at what the roof consists of. It is important to understand that the roof is a rather complicated structure, therefore, if you do not follow the installation recommendations, you may experience troubles with the climate in the house:
- An improperly made insulation can create a “greenhouse effect”, as a result of which it will be cold in the house and warm in the attic.
- Poorly attached metal tiles can cause sheets to fall due to strong winds or large amounts of snow in winter.
- Violations made during the fastening of the metal tile, and the absence of an external waterproofing layer of material can lead to leakage of the roof.
- The inner layer of waterproofing contributes to high-quality protection of the insulation from condensate. If you save money and do not put the material, over time the glass wool will pick up moisture and cease to protect from the cold.
It is important to know these and many other nuances to make the house warm.
Necessary equipment and tools
Do-it-yourself metal roofing requires many special tools. If you do not have them, you can rent or borrow from a neighbor. Difficulties do not arise when working with a material such as metal. Do-it-yourself styling can be done without the help of specialists. Important,
so that the proposed list of tools is available:
- equipment for cutting metal;
- portable electric screwdriver;
- hammer;
- smooth rail;
- marker;
- level.
For cutting metal, it is extremely undesirable to use a grinder. Ordinary metal scissors, a reciprocating saw or a jigsaw are perfect.
Installation of tiles
Here you are at the most important stage in the project "metal: do-it-yourself laying". Now step by step we explain the whole process of constructing the roof:
1. Determine the rafter pitch. Their frequency of arrangement depends on the width of the insulation boards.
2. The slope of the ramp should be above 14 degrees. This will allow rainfall to easily drain off the roof.
3. Do not forget to put the insulation in the film waterproofing. This will save heat in the house and prevent leakage of the roof.
4. The waterproofing material should be rolled horizontally along the rafters.
5. Do the crate after placing the vapor barrier.
6. Install the metal tile. The main thing, remember that you need to move upwards, creating a flooring of one sheet on another about 15 centimeters.
7. Install the rain gutters.
Having taken such steps, you will successfully redraw the roof of the house and achieve comfort in the winter.
