The roof and facade

Anyone who has ever been raised at the height of the Ferris wheel probably noticed how depressing look "poetic" roof of Moscow. Grey slate hateful sluggish punctuated bursts of tin plate and black roofing failures, and only here and there, visible red-brown tile islands. Of course, try to replace the communal roof in an ordinary house in a decent - it is almost hopeless. But correctly foresee this problem in buildings under construction, especially in cottage - not the binomial theorem. That sooner or later allows the roof to behave in a hooligan? Type of attachment elements to the framework. The roof of slate, metal, sheet metal installation being reusable perforations fixing eventually become loose and require replacement. Typically, in such cases is necessary to change the whole roof. So once in 10-15 years, the issue reminds of itself in all its depressing variety. But there is a solution! Roofing materials, which will be discussed, will be pleasantly surprised by their caring owners truly remarkable qualities. And, of course, is - roofing copper, since the ancient times used to create reliable, durable, incredibly durable roof. And then say, 150-200 years - a decent life! Problems with perforation elementary eliminated, since copper sheets are attached together by folding. They are attached to the base by moving klyammerov - special reeds, the roof of reporting additional reliability. And as a double folding roof generally turns into something like a tin can - on integrity, of course. Folding machine - the device is very simple to use: set it on the edge of the copper sheet and fold it yourself. Copper sheets can be up to 11 meters in length, which automatically eliminates the problem of transverse joints (as opposed to, say, the tin produced by standard sheets). The thermal conductivity of copper is admirable, and completely solves the problem of catastrophic changes in temperature, so characteristic of central Russia. Under the metal roof can be easily installed, its electric teploobogrev to get rid of a headache as icicles and ice-clogged drains. Finally, for mechanical damage of copper it is easy to zaludit what other materials do not allow. All this is fine, you say, but what about the appearance? It has some features - color consistency. Copper in the first months of blazing hot in its natural, textbook-Homeric red color, then gradually bronzoveet, a few years later became pleased by malachite patina. Something nice - it is, of course, although it is not always consistent with the personal taste of home owner or architect who invented the unusual, avant-garde project. Still, copper is particularly good where the classic style of old Vienna and Salzburg are already platted his cozy nest. But for the super-mod projects like that the roof was not makeweight to interesting architectural development, and play a certain aesthetic role in this ensemble led his beautiful game. But do not despair, dear owners of large and small cottages and houses! Yes, yes he is a truly modern way out of such a complicated situation! This - Aluminum roofing - or rather, an alloy of aluminum with manganese and magnesium. Enough in what he concedes copper! Just fold, such as plastic and thermal conductivity, resulting in the same way immune to the strains of a building or structure. And just comes in long rolls that exclude the transverse seams. And most importantly - it can be a variety of colors (more than forty), since the top is covered with two layers (and depending on the color - and four-) polymer coating, resembling a car enamel. Coating is resistant to sunlight and pollution, so that in forty years you can forget about the problems associated with the color of the roof! A special polymer film protects it from mechanical damage during transportation and has anti-effect. With such a roof is not soskolznesh accident. For additional protection against corrosion of aluminum roofing covered from the inside with a special varnish. That's just the life he is somewhat less than that of copper: "only" about 80 years, despite the fact that it's cheaper than the cost of copper and practical, taking into account all the components, is a popular metal, and is four times longer. And he looks terrific on the roofs of the avant-garde buildings, giving them a pleasant finish of style. Full of light, with lots of windows, made in the techno style house in need solely in roofing aluminum, since this material can easily fit into any ideas, and his broad colorful palette allows you to emphasize the individuality of the architectural appearance of your home. In addition, aluminum can be issued, and the wall, turning the house into a product of space technology. Do not think that style of techno, while quite unusual, new to us, do not take hold in Russia. The truly stylish, perfected examples of architectural art never go out of fashion, whether classic, modern or avant-garde. And if your house of glass and aluminum, as the fourth dream Vera, to complement the bright, unusual roof made of aluminum, then, believe me, it will be a real adornment for the entire neighborhood: your house will be different from other homes, whose owners could not to bring their style to true perfection!
