Not every owner is willing to pay for work that he himself is able to do. Among the many options for improving comfort in the house, roof insulation is in a special place. For such a case, a metal tile is perfect. Do-it-yourself laying of this material involves re-laying the insulation.
Thus, to make a house warm, you need to make a roof of high quality and durable materials. Among the many options for roofing, metal tiles remain in a special account. Do-it-yourself roof laying is quite simple if you follow the recommendations prescribed in the instructions.
Where to start?
Before making a purchase of materials, it is necessary to calculate the metal tile, insulation, beams and other components from which we will make the roof. Let's first look at what the roof consists of. It is important to understand that the roof is a rather complex structure, therefore, if the recommendations for installation are not followed, troubles with the climate in the house may arise:
-Incorrectly laid insulation can create a "greenhouse effect", as a result of which it will be cold in the house, and warm in the attic.
- A poorly attached metal tile can cause sheets to fall in strong winds or heavy snow during winter.
- Violations made when fixing the metal tile, and the absence of an external waterproofing layer of material can lead to roof leakage.
- The inner layer of waterproofing contributes to the high-quality protection of the insulation from condensate. If you save money and do not put the material, over time, glass wool will pick up moisture and stop protecting from the cold.
It is important to know these and many other nuances to make the house warm.
Necessary equipment and tools
Do-it-yourself metal roofing requires you to have many special tools. If you do not have them, you can rent or borrow from a neighbor. Difficulties do not arise when working with such material as metal tiles. Do-it-yourself laying can be done without the help of specialists. Important,
so that the proposed list of tools is available:
- metal tile cutting equipment;
- portable electric screwdriver;
- hammer;
- straight rail;
- marker;
- level.
It is highly undesirable to use a grinder to cut metal tiles. Ordinary metal shears, a reciprocating saw or a jigsaw are perfect.
Installation of tiles
Here you areyou are at the most important stage in the project "metal tile: DIY laying". Now we explain the whole process of constructing a roof step by step:
1. Determine the pitch of the rafters. Their frequency depends on the width of the insulation boards.
2. The slope of the slope must be above 14 degrees. This will allow precipitation to easily run off the roof.
3. Do not forget to place the insulation in the waterproofing film. This will keep the heat in the house and prevent the roof from leaking.
4. The waterproofing material should be rolled out horizontally on the rafters.
5. Do the crate after you place the vapor barrier.
6. Installing metal roofing. The main thing, remember that you need to move from the bottom up, creating a flooring of one sheet on another about 15 centimeters.
7. Install rain gutters.
