The metal tile is the pro-thinned-out sheets made of galvanized steel with polymeric covering. The metaltile roof is functional, safe and harmonious as it is completed with drains, snegozaderzhatel and security systems.
Device and repair of metal tile
The metal roof is usually made of rolled or sheet steel, copper, aluminum, titanium with zinc and also of the pro-thinned-out leaf and its versions which imitate tile.
The metal tile is widely applied at covering of low cottages, houses with irregular shape of roofs, multy-storey and process buildings.
Make metal roof by method of roller rolling of steel with the subsequent cold forming. Steel sheets with polymeric covering cover with layer of zinc or aluminum with zinc then they are grounded, passivate and cover with protective color polymeric layer. It protects roofing material from korroziya and does color to steadier. Today the metal tile with protecting polymeric cover is in mass demand including at the expense of enough acceptable prices. Such roof does not demand special care, and its repair is rather simple and is required extremely seldom.
Mounting of metal tile
Before mounting it is necessary to execute check measurement of slopes of roof to reveal possible discrepancy between its actual sizes and the construction project. Having prepared roof for mounting of metal tile and having mounted furring, it is necessary to execute mounting in the following sequence. At first the rafter system is installed. Then the vapor barrier, heater and waterproofing keep within. The waterproofing film at the same time has to lay down with an overlap and not stretch. Later there is its fixing with counterfurrings which need to be fixed in places of joints of strips of insulating film.
If desired it is possible not to do additional furring if you use material which well passes steam for waterproofing.
The metal tile needs to be stacked from the left bottom corner so that each new leaf covered previous, but it was not palmed off under it. Laying has to take place parallel to eaves – at the same time sheets lower by 5 centimeters below. It is necessary to fix metaltile elements to furring in the lower part of "wave" of leaf. Fastening is carried out by means of self-tapping screws. In the lower part of roof it has to be especially strengthened and frequent as strong wind will raise badly laid sheets. It is also desirable to make additional fastening to furring in places of joining of metal tile. Do not forget that on such roof it is possible to move only in soft footwear.
