The roof of the roll materials

Producing basic and groundless roll materials. Major manufactured by processing framework (roofing paper, asbestos paper, glass, etc.) bitumen, tar, and mixtures thereof. Groundless obtained as webs of certain thickness, using rolling mixtures composed of organic binders (usually asphalt), filler (mineral powder or shredded rubber) and additives (preservative, plasticizer). The main requirement for rolled roofing materials - water resistance, which persists only in the absence of cracks and breaks. Therefore, taking into account the working conditions of the material on the roof (a wide range of temperatures and UV radiation) and the need for plasticity during his placement (unwinding and adhering rolls) the most important indicators of quality of rolled materials are: - flexibility (measured by the minimum temperature at which no crack at the bend of the strip of material on the rod with a certain radius) - heat resistance - resistance (estimated by the effort to break the strip of material 5 cm wide). The most common rolled roofing materials include: roofing, asphalt and only. Widespread glassine and roofing material because of their adaptability: they are easy to manufacture roofing materials and devices in a wide range of angles of slope and roof structures for a variety of reasons. Such materials are used on roofs with low slope on concrete or other "continuous" basis. Traditional roofing has the form of a multilayer (three to five layers) of glassine or carpet underlayment roofing material (bottom layers) and the coating of roofing material (top layer), to be applied bituminous mastics.

Device Technology rolled roofing

Spring - a time, when we have begun to repair the roof. This is particularly true of roofing work with roll surfaced materials. Well, if the customer does not frighten the use of expensive materials, work on clearing the snow that course I also affects the cost. Below, we consider the most frequently used materials for the device with a soft roof and the main points of technological processes. We list the options for repairing of soft roofs: 1. Overhaul roof - includes a complete removal of old asphalt coating, repair ties, laying a new double-layer roof membrane. 2. Current repair of the roof - is to replace defective parts of the old asphalt coating, sealing holes and cracks, and laying of new material in one or two layers. These options are called roof repair repair with full or partial autopsy. When carrying out major repairs of the roof need to pay attention to the following points. Overhaul roof involves the principle of "do no harm." Completely removing the roofing carpet can damage equipment and spoil the finish of premises, etc. Because of the improper organization of work may occur leakage. The old asphalt coating is expedient to cut down the squares whose size is determined mainly by their mass. A square to pick up and move to a place of garbage collection. Neater than cutting will occur, so may have less need to engage in repairing ties. For repair of cement-sand mortar screed is used grade not lower than 50. After 8-10 days after laying screed primed. The primer is prepared from bitumen grade I and kerosene at a ratio of 1:3 by weight.

Icebreaker on the roof

Some time ago on the news feeds of many news agencies was reported: in the Russian city of Izhevsk in the Office of Technical Inspection established a new post - Inspector of icicles. Perhaps the inhabitants of the southern latitudes of such information may cause a smile, but we, the inhabitants of the largest country in the world, not for jokes. Small and fragile icicles are the source of this headache, including in the truest sense of the word, for so many. How to protect the roof of his house from these insidious "Ice Monster"? The extraction of water for water - not only the foundation of life. It is also an inexhaustible source of problems for homeowners. During the summer, free to "walk" the moisture leads to many ills: accumulates in microcracks, brick and concrete, tempting the foundation becomes a cause of mold and mildew. In winter, fluid moves into a different phase state - ice, which not only spoils the roof and facade, reducing their service life, but, turning into icicles, also "bombed" the inhabitants of the house. The only reliable way to overcome the attack - just take the excess water. In this case, comes to help the modern gutter - a complex system consisting of gutters, drains, pipes and additional items. But just enough to buy a set. Must take into account a number of nuances, and even a little bit count. For example, for the good of the system should be related to the slope and area of ??the roof with a capacity of drains and pipes.

Durable and beautiful roof, or what cover the roof?

Roof designs are protected not only for tenants but also for the entire building. First of all they have to resist the vagaries of nature - humidity, wind and cold. Each component of the roof - insulation, waterproofing, windscreen, drainage system - has a specific function. Material for roof covering must not only withstand massive attacks on the weather, but also participate in the decoration of the building. Therefore, to him must meet certain requirements. Paramount strength and durability of coatings, as well as ease of installation and ability to use the material in complex designs. Weight of the material determines the need for further strengthening of the structure and foundation. A set of technical characteristics of each type of coating is primarily dependent on the material, which is the feedstock for its production. Today's most popular metal roofing material is metal. Basic properties, determine its relevance - is the exceptional strength and durability. In addition, the consumer is very important characteristic of such a metal roof options, both light weight and ease of installation. The most commonly used metal for decorating roofs is steel. In the market of roofing materials are available plain sheets, wavy corrugated sheets and sheets that mimic traditional tiles. In the individual building additional requirement applies to the relevance of roofing material integral image of construction, a crown which is the roof. This circumstance has caused widespread popularity of new metal roofing materials in the domestic construction market.

Between heaven and earth

In the roof two duties, and each - basic. First, protect the house from the weather, and secondly, to give him a personal appearance. To cope with these duties, each roofing material provides its own set of "special means". About that, what are the characteristics of basic materials for covering pitched roofs, and will be discussed. Ceramic Tiles of clay tiles used for roofing unit for several millennia. It can rightly be called a natural material. The "serious" producers raw mixture from which the tiles are produced by almost 100% composed of clay (usually combinations of several shale rock) and clay - is a compound of silicon oxide, aluminum and iron. Why not 100%? Because the mixture may be added such as barium carbonate, which prevents the appearance of efflorescence on the surface of the product, and others, exclusively organic additives that improve the quality of the product. The manufacturing process of tiles is as follows: damp, cleansed of foreign inclusions, compacted clay molded by the press, after which the day is dried and fired at temperatures above 1000 ° C. One of the main advantages of ceramic tile - elegant "appearance". Distinguish tiles coated with or without him. It is part of raw materials and the firing temperature determine the color tiles without the coating. Characteristic red color is produced due to high content of clay-iron oxide. Yellowish color indicates the presence of calcium in the clay, brownish - manganese. You can find tiles, dark brown or grayish-black color that results from a double (the so-called reduction firing): the first time in the usual way, the second - in the oven with a lower temperature (about 800 ° C) and the absence of oxygen.

Aesthetic standard

The authority of a natural tile, conquered over the centuries, does not waver even after people started using alternative forms of metal roofing, bitumen, polymers. But until now, their background, ceramic tile is an aesthetic standard, a symbol of prestige, wealth and prosperity. Not surprisingly, the more modern roofing systems have not received even own the original title and as an honorary title, have the name of their glorious predecessors: asphalt shingles, tile polymer-sand, metal ... True, there are in this series product, as close to its virtues to the original and in appearance, and the degree of closeness to nature, - tile cement and sand, or concrete. And it is no coincidence these two materials often incorporated the term "natural tiles. Content of the "natural product" refers to the fact that it is made from natural materials. This is equally true for the ceramic, and concrete tiles, manufactured using natural minerals. Therefore, the cement and sand, and clay tiles on the characteristics and environmental performance are almost identical. The chemical composition of clay - is a complex compound of silicon oxide (a natural quartz sand), aluminum oxide doped with iron oxide, which gives it a red hue, typical of ceramics. To enhance the decorative effect of the ceramic tile glaze (vitreous coating is applied and secured firing) or angobiruyut (coated with clay from the CEE-toobrazuyuschimi additives). Cement - a material obtained by fine grinding of limestone (calcium oxide), fired with clay at a temperature of 1000 "followed by the addition of gypsum (calcium sulfate).

What's missing from the roof?

Any large project consists of many small nuances, and losing one of them can ruin the common cause. In the construction of the building of such elements may be a system of sewers. It seems to be a trifle, but its lack of ability to deal with life spoil the homeowner. Tarnished suffering "Rain pokapal and passed, the sun in the whole world - it's very good ..." if there is rainwater. The value of drainage system in the life of buildings becomes more apparent just after the rain, especially heavy. If you enjoy the sun has come out in rubber boots, then forgot about the drain, or installed incorrectly. The roof of the building sheltering the building from rain and snow, but its area is the site collecting large amount of moisture. If she did not organize the "escape route", every rainy day will approximate the demolition of a building. Water flows flowing from the roof after rain or during snow melt, can not only wet feet, but the foundation. If her "help" comes a little breeze, then the facade of a building is not big trouble. Particularly felt by this negativity so-called "wet" plastered facades. Suffers not only the appearance of: excess moisture penetrating the walls and foundation of the house, greatly reduces the insulating properties of materials. She also becomes the cause of the destruction, as the expanded and contracted again with sharp temperature changes ("zero crossing"). Not escape the negative impact of the roof itself, especially if she has a complex configuration.

Polymer-sand tile: a new type of roofing

Roofing should create comfortable conditions for living in the building, protected from rain and sun, while it should be durable, have a wonderful appearance throughout life and be easy to install. Polymer-sand tile - a new type of roofing material that meets all these requirements. Polymer-sand tile is waterproof, does not make noise in the rain and wind, not heated by the sun and creates favorable conditions for living. Its distinctive features - a combination of high performance properties with a complete lack of fighting during transportation, loading and unloading and installation, beautiful appearance with the possibility of machining and ease of fitting during assembly. Mass of 1 m2 of polymer-sand tile is only 22 kg, which is almost 2 times less than that of ceramic and cement-sand tiles. The product of the polymer-sand tile has exceptional water resistance (TU 5756-001-11917285-98) not exposed to mold, resistant to dilute acids (acid rain, GOST 27180-86). Tile has a high strength (GOST 22690-88), increased shock resistance (not beating when bumps and falls from height, TU 5756-002-11929376-01). It takes sharp drops in temperature and can be operated at least 50 years at temperatures ranging from minus 50 ° C to plus 70 ° C (GOST 10060.3-95). High resistance to photooxidative aging or sunlight provides the perfect look and the brightness of shingles over the long term. The basis of the source material tiles laid a combination of polyethylene stretch and solid coarse grains.

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.
