Roofing iron is sheets that are made of galvanized material with a polymer coating and painted in various colors. To simulate tiles in the production, a drawing is applied using special equipment, which allows the roof of the building to give an attractive appearance.
It should be noted that among other building materials used to create a roof, roofing iron is the most common and is especially popular.
This material can be attributed to universal. It can be mounted on almost any type of surface and buildings of any design.
In many cases, roofing iron is used in the construction of public high-rise buildings, cottages, industrial and commercial facilities. Also, building material is indispensable when repairing roofs, for this there is no need to dismantle the old roof.
Roofing iron made of galvanized sheet has several advantages over other building materials that are designed for similar use.
Firstly, galvanizing is quite convenient to use and has an affordable cost. Roofing can be performed on roofs having any geometry.
In some cases, for greater convenience, the roofing iron is made in the form of a
galvanized roll. It should be noted that the material is much lighter than slate and other roofs, which makes it easier to
install, reducing the total cost of the structure. At the same time, transportation will also be cheaper.
However, the main advantage of the roofing iron is a fairly long service life. Thanks to galvanization, the product is able to withstand atmospheric effects and loads. And the additional polymer layer is a good protection against corrosion processes.
The galvanized polymer coating is available in different colors, which will provide individuality to the home. The building will be distinguished by architectural expressiveness. In addition, roofing iron, the price of which makes it affordable for consumers, is an environmentally friendly material.
You can check the quality of the roofing material in several ways. Good quality roofing iron must pass the following tests.
The edge of the sheet along and across the rolling is bent closely, and then again unbent into a plane. The actions are repeated again. With a secondary bend, the edge should not contain any tears, and with a new bend, no cracks should occur on the sides of the sheet. Bending and bending is performed on the roofing bar with a mallet (wooden hammer).
Also, two strips of 3 by 10 centimeters in size are cut out from a sheet of roofing iron, clamped into a vice and, using a hammer, are bent at a right angle to one side and then to the other. This procedure is performed until cracks appear on the strip. High-quality roofing iron can withstand four complete bends without cracks.
