The metal tile is a popular modern roofing material. Very easy installation. All necessary roofing works can be completed in a short time.
Proper delivery organization determines the first step in a successful installation. When transporting metal, it is forbidden to lay heavy loads in order to avoid deformation of sheets. The length of the body must correspond to the length of the sheets, and unloading and loading is carried out with soft slings into the machine. Dragging sheets with dragging is one of the gross errors in transporting metal tiles. A vertical position is required that prevents deformation of the sheets. The probability of damage is possible in the case of storage of metal on the ground.
The first step in the installation is the installation of rafters. There is no need for a strong base for laying metal, just a normal crate for installation. The choice of lathing determines the type of metal tile ( ), since this is due to a certain distance between the screws. For attaching roofing sheets, self-tapping screws are used.
The next step concerns the size of the insulation, which affects the choice of rafters. The distance between them is also affected by the size of the skylights, which must be determined in advance.
The next stage is the internal filing of the roof. To do this, use vapor barrier material and a film of “Utafol” or “Izospan” with insulation. The mechanism of work is as follows - the space between the girders and rafters must be completely filled. Next, a hydrothermal insulation film is used, which is fixed by bars.
When all the necessary preparatory operations are completed, it is the turn itself . The initial stage of installation provides for alignment on the cornice of the lower edge of the first sheets. The final fastening follows, however, it is impossible to mount metal sheets end-to-end. Essential in this matter is the choice of screws and their fastening. According to experts, the fastest down waves are considered the most high-quality and strongest, otherwise complications are possible. At the end of installation for 3 months, it is recommended to tighten the screws.
Assembly is facilitated by installation plans and detailed instructions provided by manufacturers of metal tiles. The purchase of materials with a kit for laying metal tiles will provide a single whole roof.
