Ceramic tile

What is the reason for this success shingles? First of all - the attractiveness and durability, during which the material retains its technical and aesthetic properties. Ceramic tile is securely protected from the weather - it can withstand more than 150 cycles of freezing and thawing. This material is resistant to external influences - acid rain, solar radiation, extreme temperatures, and also copes with the function of heat and sound insulation. Small size of individual elements to cover the roof of the most complex shapes without large amounts of prirezki material. Shingles provides optimal ventilation conditions subcritical velnogo space. Types of tiles ceramic tiles - this piece of plastic roofing material fusible clays by firing. It can be an S-shaped, undulating, high-and low-profile, bespazovoy (flat), and trough. Natural color of ceramic tile, depending on the composition of clay and firing modes are red-brown or yellow-gray shades. Over time, it is covered by a noble patina and slightly darker. And on the market today a variety of colors clay tiles is the result of engobing - drawing on a blank tile surface of a special solution - engobe. It is composed of powdered clay mixed with water and various minerals, which give by firing the appropriate palette. Glazed tile is good because over time it does not change its color. Another way to impart non-traditional colors - glazing. Before firing, the surface of workpiece shingles applied vitreous mass. Under high temperatures it solidifies, forming a protective layer. Besides giving decorative qualities, engobing and glazing increases the strength of coating tiles - it is becoming more resilient to rainfall and less become overgrown with moss. Fittings Besides ordinary roofing tiles shingle manufacturers offer a large selection of other necessary components of a roof unit. Alya roof coating skates available ridgetile. The product range - all elements for ventilation and antennas, the step for the movement on the roof, snegozaderzhivayuschaya, as well as tiles for mounting parts gable roofs, the completion of the ridges and eaves, the beginning and end of the hip, X-, Y-and T-shaped pieces, caps the ends skate. Use when installing the above-mentioned shaped elements shingles saves time and simplifies the work of the roofer. In addition, the market offers more and sealer for walls and pipes as well as kits for the implementation of the adjacency of nodes hips to each other and the walls made of copper, zinc, aluminum, steel, forming an integral part of the roof. Tiled roof construction takes on the main external loads. Therefore, the construction of her home design special attention. If the choice fell on a ceramic tile, then at the design stage must take into account that it is 10 times heavier than metal and 5 times - bitumen. Therefore, when installing such a roof should be reinforced rafters (shingles a strain on the supporting structure from 30 to 75 kg/m2). "Foundation" of the roof is a truss system. It can be made of wood or metal. One end of the rafter rests on the wall, the opposite is connected to the ridge beam. Further runs crate, which is fastened roofing material. So in short you can describe the device of the roof. Installation of tiles is particularly based on the calculation of cross rafters step of installation, type of roof sheathing and laying the "pie". According to the existing SNiPs any roof design should withstand a load of 200 kg / m 2 regardless of the weight of roofing material, as well as weight and the weight of roofing. In this figure laid snow and wind loads, as well as the safety factor - force majeure circumstances and the weight of people, installs and service roof. You also need to take into account the particular roofing material. For the tiled coverage than the metal trusses require mandatory increased by 15-20%. Most often, the rafters are made of beam cross section 70 x 150 mm, which is set in increments of 800-900 mm. Speaking about the distance between the rafters, one should also mention the pitch: what it is, the wider pitch rafters. The next stage in the creation of a roof - kontrobreshetka. It represents a cross-section bars 50 * 50 or 60 x60 mm, which are mounted longitudinally along the top of the rafters. Then in the underlay area, the inner side of a heater stack of polyethylene vapor barrier reinforced with a cloth or wire mesh. Between the rafters are placed insulating material, whose thickness should be less than their height. On top of it - waterproofing, leaving both sides at the expense of the device kontrobreshetki gap of 30 mm for ventilation. So provided the normal functioning of the underlay area. Once there, atmospheric moisture or water vapor from the house will be easy to go outside, and wooden construction of the roof is not zagniet. After that is fixed across the rafters purlins on which the plank roofing. With a slight incline ramp, constituting 10-22 °, to provide an extra layer of waterproofing under the tiles from modified rolled roofing materials. The main condition for laying tile - it's true chosen step sheathing. The distance between the bars sheathing is directly dependent on the type and size of tile. It should correctly calculate the number of rows on the slope of that during the installation did not have to rasp clay tiles. Alya sheathing is recommended to use the bar 40 or 50 x40 mm x50 mm. The lowest number of its board operates from a 100-mm increments, which is calculated based on the model selected and employed tile drainage system. Laying tile Slot tile has lugs - horizontal and vertical slots (locks), which it is attached to the crate and the neighboring tiles. Locks have a small gap and give the tile an opportunity to move freely for 3-4 mm, so the roof is not afraid of seasonal expansion and contraction of its construction and home in general. Flat tiles fit so that the top row of tile laying a joint of two elements from the bottom. Laid tiles from left to right and from bottom to top. The first of its series on the eaves, like the last one - in the apex and gable elements should be fastened with galvanized screws. Shingles on slopes attached individually or in a checkerboard pattern - depending on the slope of the roof and wind loads. If the angle of the roof over 50 °, then the tiles should be additionally secured klyammerami. Facilitate the installation of fittings that enable reliable and aesthetically pleasing finish end of the ridge, the ridge, eaves and hips. When the device of the roof tiles made of natural waste materials are minimal, since the tiles can be reduced by using cut-off wheel on concrete. The process of stacking is fast enough, in any weather, on all kinds of roofs with slopes slopes from 10 ° to 80 °. The result is a tough, reliable and flexible coating at the same time, individual particles of which are mobile, like a scale. This allows them to easily adapt to various forms of roofing, as well as strains carrying the base. The choice of artist - a serious matter. Authoritative master on the shoulder of a high-quality and expensive material is original work of art roof, which protects the house from any bad weather. Best recommendation to a specialist may be the opinion of people who built his house. Good roofer can recommend a company - sellers tiles. But if you build a house for a key, often a specialist comes to the construction site, among other artists. Not be amiss, to get acquainted with him personally, "test" it on the knowledge of the subject.
