Do-it-yourself installation of flexible tiles Shinglas "Country" Soft roof "Shinglas": installation instructions, technology, recommendations and reviews Installation of shinglas on a hipped roof

Soft roof Shinglas from the well-known manufacturer TECHNONICOL is one of the modern bituminous materials with high performance characteristics. Its advantages include durability and attractive appearance, heat and noise insulation properties, tightness of the mounted coating and its resistance to external influences. Installation of a soft roof Shinglas can be done on its own - this is facilitated by the low weight of the material and the absence of the need for a specialized tool.

Flexible tile Shinglas

Structure and properties of the material

SHINGLAS roofing material is produced in the form of shingles with a figured edge - "petals", which form the characteristic texture of the flooring, imitating the tiled roof and giving the building an original appearance.

The basis of the Shinglas material is a tear-resistant canvas made of fiberglass, resistant to temperature extremes, moisture and biological destruction. On both sides, a layer of modified bitumen is applied to the reinforcing base, which can not lose elasticity at low temperatures. This ensures the stability of the Shinglas roofing to cracking in frost and sudden changes in temperature.

Structure shingles shinglas

The outer coating is made of painted basalt chips with a binder composition, which protects the bitumen from external influences and gives an aesthetic appearance to the flooring. The pigments used in the manufacture of Shinglas shingles are sufficiently resistant to ultraviolet rays.

A special adhesive is applied to the lower part of the shingle, making it convenient to mount the sheet material on the prepared base. A special film protects the adhesive layer from contact with other shingles during storage and transportation; during the laying of the coating, the film is removed. The adhesive layer allows you to attach shingles and seals the coating, retains elasticity in cold weather, over the years its properties do not change.

Calculation principles

At the preparatory stage, it is necessary to calculate the required amount of material for arranging the roof. The total coverage area is easiest to calculate by summing up the area of ​​\u200b\u200bsimple figures into which any roof can be divided, regardless of the complexity of its shape.

The area of ​​each of the figures (rectangles, isosceles trapezoids, triangles) is calculated using standard geometric formulas. The material will be required not only for external flooring, but also for arranging various junctions and installing the lining layer. It is necessary to calculate the length of cornices, ridges, valleys, junctions with skylights, pipes and other structures, ends.

Among the materials also required for the installation of Shinglas shingles are:

• polymer-bitumen mastic, designed for gluing bitumen-based materials to various types of surfaces;
• roofing nails for shingles (galvanized);
• metal elements of the roof - eaves, wind, adjoining strips, provided with an anti-corrosion coating;
• lining self-adhesive materials - with a polyester base and an external protective and decorative dressing, baseless with an external reinforcing protective film;
• underlayment carpets (designed for mechanical fixation) - with a polyester base and a non-slip polypropylene coating, with the effect of self-tightening of the fixing holes, as well as a carpet with double-sided mineral dressing;
• valley carpet - polyester base, bituminous layer equipped with basalt dressing, designed for waterproofing complex roof units;
• ventilation elements.

Scheme of laying soft tiles

The consumption of tiles depends on the type of cutting of the petals. The useful area of ​​the material is indicated on the packaging (including overlaps). Shingles waste can range from 5 to 15% depending on the configuration of the shingle.

About 80 g of roofing nails are consumed per 1 m 2 of the Shinglas roof. Installation of the valley carpet requires the use of mastic in the ratio of 400 g per 1 running meter. For the end parts, you will need 100 g per 1 running meter; to seal the joints, 750 g of mastic per 1 running meter is needed.

Important! So that the carpet does not swell, unattractive smudges do not form, solvents should not be added to the mastic, the material should be applied in a layer no more than 1 mm thick.

Foundation preparation

The technology of laying Shinglas material provides for the arrangement of a continuous crate. To do this, a flooring made of high quality edged boards or sheet material - plywood, OSB-3 is mounted on the rafter system. sheet material stacked apart to avoid joints of four corners, fastened to self-tapping screws or nailed nails. The boardwalk is mounted with a gap of up to 5 mm between the elements. A gap of 3-5 mm is also required if the work on fastening the crate is carried out in winter - in the future it compensates for the thermal expansion of the material.

Installation of soft roof SHINGLAS

Attention! If the edged board for solid purlins is not sized, it should be sorted by thickness in order to lay with a smooth change in size. The difference in height between adjacent base elements should not exceed 2 mm.

When mounting the flooring from the boards, pay attention to the annual rings: their convex side should be facing up. It is recommended to use well-dried lumber. If the wood is damp, each edge of the board is fixed with two self-tapping screws.

Before installation, the wooden elements of the roof are treated with a fire-retardant compound so that the structure lasts as long as possible.

Roof ventilation

For normal operation, the roofing system with shingles shingles must be well ventilated over the entire area. The arrangement of ventilation is carried out in such a way that there are no zones with stagnation of air in the intra-roof space. Moisture accumulates in the "dead zones", which provokes the development of rot in the wood, a set of moisture with a heater.

Arrangement of ventilation

The gap between the waterproofing and the crate should be ventilated. For this purpose, holes located at the eaves (after installation of the roofing are covered with spotlights) and exhaust holes at the ridge serve. The cross section of the hood is 10-15% larger than the cross section of the ventilation hole in order to create a difference in pressure and provide effective traction. Size ventilation duct depends on the slope of the roof - the smaller the angle, the wider the channel should be.

Preparing to install the roof deck

A number of works are performed before laying flexible tiles, since Shinglas soft roof installation technology involves laying shingles after installing the planks and arranging the junctions.

Cornice. A drop bar is mounted on the edge of the cornice overhang, it is installed with an edge along the edge of the base and fixed with nails in increments of about 130 cm, with the exception of the joints - there the fasteners are located with an interval of 20-30 mm.

Lining layer. To prepare the base for laying Shinglas roofing material, it is necessary to waterproof the surface, as well as all joints and junctions of structures. For this purpose, a special lining carpet, self-adhesive bituminous cloth, bituminous mastic, nails are used.

Drip for soft roof

With a slope of 12-18 degrees in the valleys and on the cornices, sheets of self-adhesive bituminous material are attached, preferably solid, without joints. If this is not possible, shingles of flexible tiles with cut petals are laid and glued to the mastic with an overlap of at least 300 mm. There should be a gap of 20-30 mm on the eaves between the lining strip and the drip bar. The remaining free surface is covered with a lining carpet. Strips of material are mounted from the bottom up with a longitudinal overlap of 150 mm and a transverse overlap of 100 mm. Carnations are used for fastening, the step of installing fasteners is 200-250 mm.

With a slope of more than 18 degrees, an additional waterproofing layer is installed only in places with an increased risk of leaks. These include:

• Cornices. A self-adhesive bitumen sheet is laid along the eaves, its width must exceed the width of the overhang by 600 mm.
• Valleys. The same self-adhesive material is attached with a 50 cm approach to each slope. If there is no solid canvas, the overlaps should be at least 300 mm, they should be filled with bitumen.
• Ventilation outlets. A 100x100 mm square is mounted from the lining carpet, fixing it with nails in the corners and in increments of 200-250 mm.

Then the cornice strips are mounted - they are placed on top of the lining layer and fastened with nails with a pitch of attachment points of 100-150 mm. End strips are mounted according to the same principle. Scissors for metal are suitable for trimming parts.

Shinglas installation instructions will help create a durable and aesthetically pleasing coating. For roofing, it is desirable to use shingles from the same batch so that there are no sharp differences in tone within one roof slope. If using material with the same color code but from different batches, shingles from different packages must be mixed together before installation. This will make it possible to avoid a noticeable color imbalance.

Note! In order for the shingles to separate easily, before opening the package, the entire stack of sheets should be slightly bent and then shaken.

When installing the Shinglas roof in the cold season (outdoor temperature below + 5 ° C), it is required to store the packed material in a warm room. Before sticking the shingle, its adhesive layer is heated with a building hair dryer.

During the laying of Shingles, the material has to be trimmed. This should be done using a cutting tool with a sharp blade and a plank that is placed under the top shingle so as not to damage the bottom one.

Trimming

The shingle laying instructions state that the material should be stored out of direct sunlight so that the adhesive layer does not adhere to the protective film. It is forbidden to store pallets with packages on top of each other, so as not to compress the protective film and the adhesive layer into a single monolith.

Important! Roofing in hot weather softens and it is easy to leave marks on it when working on the roof. To prevent this from happening, special “holes” or mats made of plant fiber are used.

We mount ordinary tiles

Each shingle of an ordinary tile is fastened with roofing nails at four points (for roofs with slopes up to 45 °) or six points (for slopes with slopes over 45 °). It is important to drive the nails at a right angle, without sinking the head - it must remain in the same plane with the fixed shingle. The distance from the edge to the fastener is 2-3 cm.

The installation of ordinary shingles begins with the installation of the starting strip - it can be ridge-cornice shingles or ordinary shingles with cut petals. The strip should be laid 1-2 cm above the bend of the cornice strips, while the longer the slope and the steeper the slope angle, the more indentation is made.

Next, mount the bottom row of shingles. If the slope is not long, you can start from the corner. But it is more convenient to start from the middle, so that it is easier to align the row. Pay attention to the junction of the bottom row of shingles - it should not be at the junction of the parts of the starting strip.

The process of installation of soft tiles SHINGLAS

Shinglas shingles are mounted in diagonal ascending strips (pyramid) or vertical stripes. The elements of the second row are mounted, starting from the middle of the slope, shifting the shingle by half a petal compared to the first row. The bottom edge of the tab of the top shingle should meet the top edge of the cutout of the bottom course shingle. Laying the third row is carried out with an offset to the same half of the petal, and in the same direction.

For reliable fixation of the extreme shingles, they are smeared on the back side with bitumen-polymer mastic to a width of 10 cm from the edge. In order for moisture to flow better over the surface, their upper corners are cut off by 2-3 cm. Having completed the installation of ordinary tiles, they begin to fasten the ridge.

Conclusion

Using the recommendations for installation, you can independently perform roofing from modern material SHINGLAS. In order not to damage the roof during operation, use tools without sharp working parts to remove snow.

Video from 3 parts about the installation of Shinglas soft roof:

To calculate the number of shingles and accessories for installation, it is necessary to determine:

• total roof area;
• the length of skates, ribs, cornices, end parts, valleys, junctions;
• perimeter of chimneys and ventilation structures.

Materials used

Consumption of roofing material

materials	Quantity per packing unit	Consumption
Barrier OS MS	Roll width - 1 m, length - 10 m	In valleys it is laid with a width of 1 m. On cornices - to the width of the ledge plus 60 cm
Lining carpet	In a roll - 15 sq m, width - 1 m	With a roof pitch from 12 to 18 degrees and for collections Jazz, Trio and Tango all over the roof except for valleys and cornices.

Preparing the roof base for installation

Structures made of metal, wood, reinforced concrete are used as load-bearing structures.

rafters

The width of their step varies from 0.6 to 1.5 meters. The shape of the roof and the planned load are taken into account. For coating are used: oriented strand boards, moisture resistant plywood, boards (edged or tongue-and-groove).

The rarer the pitch of the rafters, the greater the thickness these materials should have (12 - 37 mm).

Laying is carried out so that the difference in height is no more than 2 mm. The gap between the boards is 5 mm, between the sheets - 3 mm. Wooden rafters and boards are impregnated with fire-retardant compounds.

Strengthening the cornice overhang

Eaves strips are superimposed on the lining carpet. They are fastened after 15-20 cm, in places of overlap (5 cm) - after 3 cm. The planks are covered with ridge-cornice tiles. The edges of the sheets are smeared with mastic.

Underlayment installation

With a roof slope of more than 18 degrees, the skates are covered to a width of 0.5 meters. Overhangs (end and eaves) - by 0.4 meters.
With a smaller slope, the entire surface is covered. Rolls are laid from the bottom up, parallel to the cornice overhangs. The overlaps are smeared with mastic. Mounting step - 20 cm.

Reinforcement of gable overhangs

It is carried out by end strips. Before installation, they are smeared with mastic. Mounted on the underlayment. The top corners are trimmed before the shingles are laid.

Valley preparation

Depends on installation method: open or undercut method. With any method and slope, self-adhesive bitumen-polymer material Barrier OS GS is laid in all valleys. Width - 1 m. In the case of an open method, a valley carpet with the same width is mounted on top of this layer.

The edges of the sheets are smeared with mastic and fixed with nails. In hot climates, a metal sheet with anti-corrosion properties can be used instead of a valley carpet.

Roof slope marking

Done with chalk. If you plan to insert a dormer or roof window, the markings start from the middle of its upper part. Vertical marks are beaten off after 1 meter, horizontal - after 0.8 m. The purpose of the marking is to align the shingles, but not to indicate the places of their attachment.

Installation of a soft roof "Shinglas"

General recommendations for installation of shingles "Shinglas":

• To facilitate separation shingles packaging is bent and shaken
• In cool weather previously kept warm for a day.
• Self-adhesive strip heated with a hair dryer.
• Protective film removed before starting work.
• The shingles are being retrieved alternately from different packages (to comply with colors).
• Attached when cutting board so as not to cut through the bottom layer.
• Laying conducted from the bottom up.

Rules for fixing ordinary tiles

Roof slopes up to 45 degrees require 4 nails per shingle. With a greater slope, their number increases to 6.

starting strip

As such, ridge-cornice tiles or shingles are used, in which the protruding parts (petals) are cut off. Fastened with nails. Places where there is no adhesive layer are covered with mastic.

Laying the first, second and subsequent rows of tiles

The first row is mounted with an indent of 2 cm from the starting strip, from the center of the cornice towards the gables.
Subsequent rows are arranged with an offset so that a design pattern is formed.

Valley device

1. "Open" method. Leaves lying on the valley carpet are cut so that a groove is formed from 5 to 15 cm. The maximum width is used if abundant leaf fall is expected.
2. Undercut method. It is used at different slope angles. A slope with a smaller slope is covered so that the shingles go 30 cm onto a steeper slope. The upper parts of the sheets are fastened with nails. Then laying is carried out on a steeper slope. Stepping back 8 cm from the axis of the valley, they beat off the line with chalk and cut off the excess. The edges of the sheets are glued with mastic. The top sheets have corners cut off to ensure water rebound.

The device of the ribs of the slopes and skates

Used ridge eaves tiles. According to the applied perforation, it is divided into three parts. Laying starts from the bottom. When installing skates, the direction of the prevailing winds is taken into account - installation begins on the opposite side.

With some forms of cutting, it is possible to use ordinary sheets. To simplify the process of bending shingles at an angle, a heated pipe with a diameter of 10 mm is used.
Installation of shingles SHINGLAS on curved surfaces.

• Segment method technology. The underlayment is being laid. Marking is applied to it. The segments are covered with shingles. The joints between the segments are closed with eaves and ridge tiles.
• Seamless technology. The lining carpet is marked with a step equal to half the petal of the tile. Lines are drawn to the top. The shingles are divided into petals, the first row is laid. Each next row is shifted to the width of half the petal.

Connection device

Pass-Through Elements

Uses special passages. These structures are attached to the roof with nails. Sheets are laid on top, cut and insulated with mastic.

Roof outlets are attached to the passage elements. For mild climates, non-insulated ones are used; for northern regions, it is advisable to install insulated ones with polyurethane.

Two options for sealing the passage elements:

1. Shaped details. Made from EPDM rubber. Are issued for pipes with a diameter from 10 to 250 mm. Mastic is applied under the horizontal part. A pattern of shingles is applied. The top of the shaped part is tightened with a metal clamp. A sealant (polysulfide or polyurethane) is applied.
2. steel glass. It is used for pipes with a diameter of up to 10 mm and other elements. Mounted on underlayment. A heated mastic is applied under and on the flange of the glass. Sheets are laid on top, trimmed so as to ensure a tight fit. The glass is half filled mounting foam, then sealant (thiokol or polyurethane).
   If the pipes are constantly warming up, a box filled with non-combustible mineral insulation is mounted. The junction to the box is arranged according to the same scheme as to the wall.

Roof care

Bituminous roofing is considered unpretentious in maintenance.. But it requires regular seasonal inspections. This allows you to identify the damage that has occurred and eliminate them at the early stages of destruction. Particular attention is paid to valleys, ridges, junctions and passages.

Cleaning from pollution is necessary not only for aesthetic reasons. Removing dust, soil and plant particles prevents the germination of plant seeds, mosses and lichens. Cleaning of dirt is done with a soft brush. Sharp and heavy objects are removed manually. Snow removal is carried out layer by layer, with a non-metallic scraper.

Repair of a roof from shingles "Shinglas"

Repair in progress by replacing damaged areas. You can easily make repairs with your own hands. Pieces of new shingles are heated with a building dryer, fixed with nails and mastic.

In the absence of complete shingles, repair by patching is possible. Their size should exceed the damaged area by 10 cm in all directions.

damaged area cleaned of dirt, warmed up with a hair dryer. Particles of basalt dressing are pressed into softened bitumen with a spatula. A layer of mastic is applied. A patch is applied, tightly pressed.

Summarize

  Flexible roof Shinglas Ranch is an affordable two-layer laminated tile that will not only perfectly fulfill its basic protective functions, but also give the roof a spectacular three-dimensional look. The dual structure of Shinglas Ranch increases the mechanical strength of the shingle and allows it to withstand significant climatic changes and wind loads.

Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS)

The main elements to ensure the normal temperature and humidity regime of the roof are vapor barrier, insulation of the required thickness (depending on the region), windproof material, ventilated under-roof space.

Flexible shingles with the same color codes and manufacturing dates should be used on the same roof. Shades of shingles from different batches may vary slightly. To avoid color imbalance, Euromet specialists recommend mixing tiles from several packages before installation. To make it easier to separate the shingles from each other, the package can be slightly bent and shaken before opening.

If the roof is being installed at a temperature below +5°C, the tiles must be stored in a warm room before installation. The self-adhesive layer of the material must be heated with a thermal (construction) hair dryer.

When cutting a soft roof, a special board should be placed under it so as not to damage the bottom coating.

During storage, Shinglas shingles must be protected from direct sun rays, since under their influence the adhesive layer can sinter with the protective film. Pallets with material cannot be stacked on top of each other.

You should not walk on the roofing in sunny and hot weather, it may leave marks and stains from shoes. It is recommended to move along the roof using special manholes.

Materials used

Flexible tile SHINGLAS differs from similar products of other Russian manufacturers in a wide range of colors and cutting shapes. Currently, there are about 50 products on the domestic market. various models shingles shingles.

Self-adhesive backing materials:

• ANDEREP ULTRA is a high strength, self-adhesive underlayment. High reliability material is achieved due to a strong polyester base and high-quality bitumen-polymer binder. The upper protective layer of the lining carpet is made of fine-grained sandy dressing.
• ANDEREP BARRIER is a baseless self-adhesive material. A thick reinforcing film is used as the top protective layer. The absence of a base allows you to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing material in case of deformation of the base.

Lining materials with mechanical fixation:

• ANDEREP PROF has a durable polyester backing and a non-slip polypropylene top cover. Thanks to a special bituminous polymer mixture the material can “self-heal”, that is, it maintains tightness at the points of entry of nails.
• ANDEREP GL is a lining material with two-sided protection of the polymer mixture by layers of fine-grained sandy dressing.

Valley carpet TechnoNIKOL

The TechnoNIKOL valley carpet is a rolled bitumen-polymer material. Made on the basis of polyester, has a protective coating of coarse-grained basalt granulate. It is used as a waterproofing layer in valleys and places that are subjected to the greatest loads.

Adjoining planks, eaves and gable overhangs

Consumption of roofing material

Tiling. Each package of the Shinglas soft roof of the “Country” and “Jazz” series contains the amount of tiles sufficient to cover 2 m 2 of the roof (including overlaps). In packages of Shinglas shingles - for 3 m 2 of roofing. The calculation of the amount of material should be made taking into account the coefficient, the value of which depends on the complexity of the roof. The waste rate of bituminous tiles with the forms of cutting "Accord", "Sonata", "Dragon's tooth" together with ridge-cornice tiles is up to 5%. For the rest of the tiles, when calculating the amount of material, a waste rate of 10-15% should be taken into account (including the consumption for the starting strip, ridges and roof ribs).

Roofing nails. Required amount roofing nails are determined at the rate of approximately 80 g per 1 m 2 of the roof.

Mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER). 400 g of mastic per 1 r.m. are spent on the valley carpet, 100 g per 1 r.m. on the end parts, about 750 g per 1 r.m. 1 mm, this can lead to smudges and swelling of the material.

Preparing the roof base for installation

1. Device for laying under flexible tiles

To the base under soft tiles rather stringent requirements. It must be rigid, solid and even (differences in height of no more than 1-2 mm are allowed). Large-panel flooring is laid with a spacing of seams; self-tapping screws or nailed nails are used to fix it. During installation wooden flooring you need to pay attention to fragments of annual rings and lay the material so that they are facing downwards with bulges. If the installation of the base from OSB-3 or plywood is carried out in the cold season, a gap of 3 mm should be left between the sheets. This will avoid deformation of the flooring during the thermal expansion of the material in the summer.

Before installing the plank flooring, it is necessary to pre-sort the boards by thickness. They are laid so that the thickness of the base changes gradually. At the same time, thicker boards are laid closer to the eaves, and thinner ones near the ridge. The joints of the boards should be located on supports, in these places the boards are fixed with at least 4 nails. If wet wood is used, the boards are fixed with 2 self-tapping screws on each side.

2. Strengthening the cornice overhang

To reinforce the cornice overhang, metal cornice strips are used. These elements protect roofing material in the eaves zone from the impact of precipitation. Cornice strips are attached to the edge of a solid base with roofing nails. Nails are hammered in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 12-15 cm from each other. The planks are overlapped, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm. In the places of overlaps, nails are hammered in increments of 2-3 cm.

3. Installation of underlayment

The lining carpet for any slope of the roof is mounted over its entire area. In the area of ​​​​cornice overhangs and in valleys, ANDEREP self-adhesive lining material or other similar material is laid. It serves as an additional protective coating in areas of the most probable leaks.

On eaves overhangs, the width of the self-adhesive underlayment must be 60 cm greater than the width of the eaves. The width of the cornice projection is measured from the plane of the inner side outer wall buildings as shown. The bottom edge of the carpet should be 2-3 cm above the edge of the eaves strip.

In the valleys, a self-adhesive lining carpet 1 m wide is laid (each slope is covered by 50 cm). It is desirable that the carpet be continuous along the entire length of the valley. In the case of using two or more canvases, they are overlapped. The width of the overlaps should be 30 cm, the seams must be carefully glued.

The lining material with mechanical fixation ANDEREP or other similar material is mounted on the rest of the roof surface. Cloths are laid parallel to the cornice overhang. The installation of the lining carpet starts from the bottom of the roof slope and gradually moves up to the ridge. The width of the overlaps in the longitudinal direction must be 10 cm. The exception is organic backing materials (eg BiCARD). For them, when laying on a roof slope with a slope of up to 30 °, the width of the overlaps should be 60 cm, and if the slope is more than 30 ° - 10 cm. The overlaps of the sheets in the transverse direction are made 15 cm wide.

The lining carpet is fixed with wide-head galvanized nails, the nails are hammered at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. Places of overlaps to a width of 8-10 cm are smeared with TechnoNICOL No. 23 mastic.

Note. When installing shingles SHINGLAS with cut shapes “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Trio”, “Beaver Tail”, it is allowed to mount the lining material only in places where leaks are most likely. It is laid in strips 50 cm wide along the perimeter of the roof (and along the cornice overhangs up to 60 cm above the plane inner surface walls, see fig.), 1 m wide in valleys, 50 cm around the perimeter skylights and 1x1 m around the passage elements. The terms and conditions of the warranty are subject to change and become the same as for products from other manufacturers. Climate in different regions Russia is significantly different, therefore this note does not apply to all regions, but only to the Central Federal District, the Southern Federal District, the Volga Federal District, the Northwestern Federal District and the Northwestern Federal District.

4. Strengthening the gable overhangs

To strengthen the gable overhangs, metal end strips are used. They are fixed on top of the lining material with roofing nails in increments of 12-15 cm, the nails are hammered in a checkerboard pattern. The end planks are overlapped, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm, in these places the nails are driven in every 2-3 cm.

5. Preparing the valley

There are two ways to install Shinglas soft roof in valleys - open and “undercut” method. The preparation of the valley depends on which method will be used.

Along the axis of the valley (1), a TechnoNICOL valley carpet (3) is laid over the self-adhesive lining material (2) with a horizontal offset of 2-3 cm. On the underside, the valley carpet is smeared around the perimeter 10 cm from the edge bituminous mastic TechnoNIKOL. When using the open method of arranging the valley, the valley carpet can be replaced with a metal strip with an anti-corrosion coating. This replacement is appropriate for regions with a hot climate. The valley carpet (or metal strip) is fixed with roofing nails, they are hammered at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge of the material in increments of 20-25 cm. It is desirable to lay a continuous (without overlap) valley carpet along the entire length of the valley. If this is not possible, parts of the carpet are overlapped. Overlaps are made 30 cm wide, the material in these places must be carefully glued.

When constructing a valley using the “undercutting” method, the valley carpet does not need to be installed.

6. Marking the roof slope

The markings are guide lines that, when laying soft tiles, help align it vertically and horizontally. This is especially true in the case of irregular geometry of the roof slope and the presence of any structures embedded in the roof. Vertical lines are applied in increments equal to the shingle width of an ordinary tile. Between horizontal lines 5 rows of material must be placed, so they are applied approximately 80 cm apart. It should be remembered that the marking performs only a guiding function, and is not a guideline for fixing the bituminous roof.

Installation of a soft roof Shinglas

Prior to installation, shingles from several packages are mixed or sheets are taken from them one by one.

If Shinglas is to be laid at a low temperature (below +5°C), the packages must be placed in a warm room (+20°C) for at least a day in advance. From there, several packages are served immediately before starting work. The self-adhesive strip on the tiles should be heated with a thermal (construction) hair dryer.

When working on a roof, the material should be cut on an underlay board so as not to damage the underlying roofing.

In sunny and hot weather, you should not walk on the laid roofing, as marks and stains may remain on it. You need to move along the roof through special manholes.

2. Rules for fixing ordinary tiles

Each tile shingle is fixed to the base with wide-head galvanized nails. The number of fasteners depends on the angle of inclination of the roof slope. With a slope of up to 45 °, each shingle is nailed with four nails, more than 45 ° - with six nails. Nails should be placed evenly and hammered in so that the caps do not cut into the surface of the soft roof, but are in the same plane with it (see Fig.).

The location of the fasteners for all forms of Shinglas cutting is shown in the figure. On both sides, the shingles are nailed at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge.

3. Starting strip

For the starting strip, universal ridge-cornice shingles or shingles of ordinary soft shingles with cut petals are used.

Ridge-eaves shingles are used as a starting strip when laying Shinglas with the “Accord” and “Sonata” cutting shapes. It is laid on top of the cornice strips 1-2 cm above their inflection (see Fig.). The width of the indent from the bend of the cornice strips depends on the angle of the slope and the length of the roof slope. The longer and steeper the slope, the wider the indent should be.

When installing flexible shingles Shinglas with cutting forms “Beaver tail”, “Trio”, “Accord”, “Sonata”, shingles with cut petals are used for the starting strip. Before laying, their lower side in places where there is no adhesive layer should be smeared with TechnoNIKOL mastic. Patterns from ordinary tiles are mounted in the same way as ridge-eaves tiles.

The starting strip for sheets with the cut shape “Dragon's tooth” is made from shingles of an ordinary tile, it is not necessary to cut them. Their laying is carried out similarly to ridge-eaves tiles.

4. Laying the first, second and subsequent rows of tiles

On long roof slopes, it is recommended to start laying the material from the middle of the slope, this will facilitate its horizontal leveling. 1-2 cm recede from the initial (central) strip and the first shingle is mounted (see Fig.). At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that the junction of the shingles of the first row of tiles does not coincide with the junction of the elements of the starting strip.

Mounting must be done with diagonal stripes (see fig.).

Depending on the shape of the cut, the laying of a soft roof can be carried out in diagonal stripes, in the form of a pyramid or vertical stripe(see pictures). The shingles of the second row begin to be laid from the middle of the slope, with a horizontal offset in any direction by half a petal relative to the tiles of the first row. In this case, the lower edge of the petals of the tiles of the second row should be located at the level of the upper edge of the cutouts on the shingles of the first row.

Sheets of the third row are mounted with an offset of half a petal relative to the shingles of the second row in the same direction as when laying the previous row.

It is recommended to smear the extreme shingles of ordinary tiles in places where there is no adhesive layer with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic to a width of 10 cm from the edge of the roof. Their upper corners are cut off by 2-3 cm for more efficient water rebound.

Note: The soft roof of Shinglas of the “Jazz” series is laid with an offset of 15-85 cm relative to the previous row. At the same time, there is no need to follow a special order, the overall pattern should turn out to be abstract (see Fig.).

5. Device valley

In the region of the valley, ordinary tiles are mounted on top of the valley carpet on two roof slopes (see Fig.). Each shingle suitable for the valley is additionally fixed in the upper part with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). Then, with the help of laces, two lines are beaten off (3). Ordinary tiles are cut along these lines, having previously placed a plank under it so as not to damage the valley carpet. The upper corners of the shingles suitable for the line 3 are cut to break the water (4). On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the bituminous roof is smeared 10 cm from the undercut line with TechnoNICOL mastic (5).

The width of the valley gutter depends on the location of the building and the size of the water flow from the roof slopes, it can be from 5 to 15 cm. If the building is located among trees (for example, in a forest), then the gutter is made wider to facilitate the removal of leaves. With a significantly different watercourse from the slopes, to prevent the roofing material from being washed away with water, the gutters of the valley are shifted towards a smaller watercourse.

When constructing a valley using the “cutting” method, first the level shingles are laid on a slope, which has a smaller slope angle (see Fig.). In this case, sheets of ordinary tiles should go onto a steeper slope by at least 30 cm. In the upper part, each shingle is additionally fixed with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). When the slope with a smaller slope is completely covered, the tiles are laid on the second slope. On a steeper roofing slope, at a distance of 7-8 cm from the axis of the valley, a line (3) is beaten off. Sheets are cut along this line, suitable for the valley from a steeper slope (it is recommended to fit a plank under it so as not to damage the underlying material). The upper corners of the extreme shingles are cut to rebound water (4). On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, these shingles are smeared to a width of 10 cm with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic (5).

6. Arrangement of ribs for skates and skates

When applying this method, ridge-cornice tiles are used. Previously, it is divided into three parts by perforation. Ridge-cornice tiles are used when installing soft roofs Shinglas "Accord", "Sonata", "Dragon's Tooth".

Edge. The shingles facing the edge are cut so that a gap of 0.5 cm wide remains between the tiles from adjacent slopes. Two reference lines are beaten off along the edge with the help of laces. Lay flexible tiles on the edge in the direction from the bottom up. The elements are mounted with an overlap, the overlaps should be 3-5 cm wide. Euromet recommends fixing each shingle with four nails (2 on each side) so that the top one covers the fasteners of the underlying one.

Skate. Soft roofing on the ridge begins to be laid from the side opposite to the direction of the prevailing winds in the area. Its installation is carried out similarly to the installation of tiles on the edges of the roof.

When using Shinglas shingles with Trio, Sonata, Dragon Tooth, Beaver Tail shingles, the elements to cover the ridge and ribs can be cut from the shingles of ordinary shingles. For the “Sonata” cutting form, its upper part will be visible, and its lower part will be closed (see fig.)

On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the elements are smeared with TechnoNICOL mastic before laying. Shelter of ridges and ribs with patterns from ordinary tiles is carried out in the same way as with ridge-cornice tiles.

Important: When installing the Shinglas soft roof of the “Country”, “Classic”, “Jazz”, “Finnish tiles” series at low (up to + 5 ° C) temperatures, it is recommended to bend the elements on a warm pipe with a diameter of about 10 cm. This will prevent them from cracking.

7. Installation of shingles SHINGLAS on curved surfaces (domes, cones)

On roofs of non-standard shape, Shinglas shingles can be laid in two ways - segmental and seamless. When using any of them, the underlayment must first be laid.

Mounting Shinglas on a domed or conical surface in a segmental way involves dividing it into segments. The size of the segments depends on the size and shape of the covered surface. The lines are beaten off with the help of laces. Ordinary tiles are mounted on each segment, and ridge tiles are mounted on the joints between them (similar to the ridge and roof ribs). The width of the ridge tile must also correspond to the dimensions of the covered surface.

1) Metal tip (installed after mounting the shinglas);

2) vertical cutting lines (slope marking);

3) a whole petal of a tile;

4) 1/2 petal tiles;

5) ANDEREP lining carpet.

When laying tiles with a seamless method, special attention must be paid to the marking of the surface (see Fig.). First, on its base, marks are made with chalk in increments equal to half the petal of the tile used. From these marks on the lining carpet (5), lines are drawn to the top of the covered surface (the lines are connected at the top). Ordinary tiles are cut into separate petals, of which the first row is mounted. The next row is shifted by half a petal relative to the previous row. The material for it is cut in accordance with the applied marking lines (2). When the width of the trimmed elements becomes half the original (4), whole tile petals (3) begin to be used again for the next row. In this order, the roof is laid to the top of the surface. The top is decorated with a metal tip (1).

8. Connection device

For a smoother bending of materials, a triangular-shaped rail is nailed to the roof slope at the junction of the wall (see Fig.). It can be made from a diagonally cut wooden beam section 50x50 mm or use an ordinary wooden plinth. If the wall adjacent to the roof is brick, it is pre-plastered and primed. Shingles of an ordinary tile suitable for adjoining lead to a nailed lath. Strips of at least 50 cm wide are cut out from the TechnoNIKOL valley carpet. On the underside, they are treated with TechnoNIKOL bituminous mastic over the entire surface and laid on top of the tiles. The strips of the valley carpet are positioned so that they extend at least 30 cm onto the wall (and even higher in regions with heavy snow loads). The upper edge of the adjoining material is inserted into the groove and pressed with a metal apron. The design is fixed mechanically and sealed with polyurethane, thiokol or silicone sealant.

The method of sealing the joints of the roofing with ventilation pipes and chimneys is shown in the figure. Patterns are made from a valley carpet or a metal sheet with an anti-corrosion coating, they are cut and bent in the indicated places. First, the front pattern is mounted on top of the shingles of ordinary tiles suitable for the pipe. Then lay the side and lastly the back patterns. They are brought under the shingles of the material. From the back and sides make a gutter 80 mm wide. At the shingles of the soft roof suitable for the pipe, the upper corners are cut to repel water. The underside of these shingles in places where there is no adhesive layer to a width of 10 cm is smeared with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic.

If the pipe section is more than 50x50 cm, and it is located across the roof slope, a groove is made behind the pipe (see Fig.). This will prevent excessive accumulation of snow behind the pipe.

If the bottom of the roof slope is adjacent to the wall, a metal storm drain is mounted at the end of it (see Fig.).

9. Pass-through elements

For sealing the places where communication pipes, antennas, etc. pass through the roof. use special passage elements (see fig.). The passage element is fixed mechanically (with nail joints). Shingles of an ordinary bitm tile are laid on it, cut off and fixed to the flange with TechnoNICOL No. 23 FIXER mastic. Then a suitable roof outlet is installed on the passage element.

TechnoNIKOL roof ventilation elements are non-insulated and insulated (see fig.). They are part of the ventilation and sewerage systems. The use of ventilation outlets insulated with polyurethane is advisable in areas with long, frosty winters, since condensate does not freeze inside them. It is not recommended to install caps on sewer roof outlets, as condensate accumulates in them. If it freezes, it will interfere with normal ventilation.

For a more aesthetic appearance of the roof outlet, a cap without internal cuts can be installed on it (see Fig.). In addition to its decorative function, it helps prevent precipitation and foliage from entering the pipe.

Roof care

1. In spring and autumn, it is necessary to inspect the roof to check its condition and timely detection of defects.
2. It is recommended to remove leaves and small debris from the roofing with a brush with soft bristles. Do not use sharp tools as this may damage the tiles.
3. Items with sharp edges are removed from the roof by hand.
4. Drains, gutters and pipes should be checked periodically and cleared of debris as necessary.
5. If a large amount of snow accumulates on the roof, it is removed in layers with a non-sharp shovel. At the same time, a layer of snow about 10 cm thick is left to protect the roofing.
6. From time to time, Euromet specialists recommend checking the condition (and, if necessary, repairing) metal parts, mounting holes, openings and other elements on the roof.

Shinglas shingle roof repair

Bituminous tile SHINGLAS is a repairable roofing material. If there are minor defects in the roofing, its local repair can be carried out independently. In this case, it is important to identify and, if possible, eliminate the causes of damage to the material. These can be, for example, installation errors, scuffs from closely spaced tree branches, the presence of depressions in which water stagnates, etc.

Installation instructions for soft roof SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS)

Soft roof TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS (multi-layer, two-layer, single-layer bituminous tile SHINGLAS). Installation instructions for soft roofing SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS).

Installation of soft tiles Shinglas (Shinglas) - special laying technology and secrets for roof care

In Shingles' home of the US, this roofing material is #1 in popularity among home builders.

In a short time, Shingles has become famous, thanks to the quality and ease of installation, the demand for material is constantly growing.

In this article, we will look at detailed instructions for installation flexible shingles Shinglas, as well as pay attention to the recommendations for the care of the roof. You can read about other types of soft roofing here.

What is Shingles

Flexible Shingles is bituminous laminate modular size, has three components: fiberglass, bituminous composition and basalt granulate. In production, two or more layers of material are sintered together, shingles are cut, packed into product packs, packs are wrapped in film.

Fiberglass provides strength, it is durable and does not corrode, does not require fungicide treatment, and does not rot. The improved bituminous composition has increased heat resistance, which allows use the material in all climatic zones no limits.

Sprinkling with basalt protects against mechanical damage, UV radiation, temperature and precipitation. Sprinkling with colored basalt does not fade over time, makes it possible to create unique color compositions. The consumer can choose Shingles according to their taste from 12 collections and 70 color designs.

Modules (shingles)- rectangular, with figured cutouts along the lower edge, depending on the collection, they have a different configuration. From below, the modules are sprinkled with sand to prevent sticking in packages. There is also a strip of adhesive, which secures the shingles to each other. The strip is protected before installation with a special film. The shingles are laid in rows overlapping, which provides reliable waterproofing to the coating..

All about merit

Developers appreciate this material for a reason. For more than a century of operation of roofs from Shingles, everything has become known about the merits:

1. Durability;
2. Atmospheric, bio- and chemical resistance;
3. Physical characteristics;
4. Simplicity of installation of a shinglas roof;
5. Excellent waterproofing properties;
6. Profitability;
7. Environmental friendliness;
8. Aesthetics.

Ease of installation provide physical characteristics: flexibility, low volumetric weight, easy-to-handle size.

Economy give a low price in comparison with analogues and convenient size which reduces waste to a minimum.

Environmental friendliness achieved by the possibility recycling and no impact on the ecosystem.

Aesthetics– variety of designs and wide color palette materials to make each roof unique.

Flexible tile Shinglas

A few shortcomings

The disadvantages include:

• narrow temperature corridor installation: from +5 to +27° С: at lower temperatures, the tile must be heated to 20 ° C before installation, at higher temperatures it must not be loaded in order to avoid losing shape;
• it is advisable not to walk on the finished coating;
• limited angle of inclination of the roof for laying Shingles - from 12 to 40°.

Specifications

Currently, TECHNONICOL factories produce Shingles of 3 types: one-, two- and three-layer. Technical characteristics of other types of soft roofs at the link. Their technical performance is somewhat different.

Mounting Shinglas - preparing tools

For quality styling except for Shingles tools needed:

Additional materials and products convenient to buy at the same time with flexible tiles, the seller will tell you what is needed and in what quantity in order to deliver all the kit necessary for coating to the construction site, saving on additional trips. So:

1. Lining material ANDEREP;
2. Mastic TECHNONICOL No. 23 (FIXER);
3. Vapor barrier;
4. Galvanized nails;
5. Ventilation systems - aerators, exits, passage elements;
6. Drainage system;
7. Planks are eaves, face, adjunctions.

Type and quantity of lining material, elements drainage system and ventilation systems depends on the type of flexible tiles, the area and design of the roof, the height of the house.

Preparatory work

Roof base - roof structure - calculated in accordance with the snow load in the climatic zone, the span and the angle of inclination of the roof, given by the project of the house. The profile of the load-bearing elements is also affected by the type of system: hanging rafters; based on a Mauerlat or a structure with a central support and struts.

The distance between the rafters is taken no more than 0.9 m, an increase in the pitch leads to an increase in the profile of the beams, battens and counter battens, that is, it is simply not economical.

With a crate a little easier, its step is taken constructively 35 cm, the profile is also calculated by the calculator. The crate is necessary for ventilation of the under-roof space. Between the rafters and the crate we lay a vapor barrier material, which prevent condensate from reaching the solid flooring- the base for the installation of tiles. Read about the soft roof pie here.

Above the roof level vertical surfaces made of brick or concrete(e.g. chimneys) needs to be plastered and primed to the device of a continuous flooring.

Flooring can be done from various materials- cutting board moisture resistant plywood or chipboard, fiberboard, OSB-3. The plates must be laid in a run-up (with offset seams), leaving a gap of 3-4 mm at the joints for thermal expansion of the material. Boards should have a humidity of no more than 15-18%. Orient the annual rings with the convex part down.

We reinforce the cornice overhangs with a metal cornice strip, fixing it with nails in a checkerboard pattern, fastening pitch 120-150 mm, we join the planks with an overlap of 3-5 cm, we fasten the joints after 2-3 cm. More details about additional elements here.

P on the flooring we put a self-adhesive lining carpet in the valleys and on the cornice overhang:

• In valleys - 1 m wide (50 cm for each slope);
• On overhangs - by the amount of overhang + 600 mm from the inner edge of the outer wall.

On the lining carpet, we reinforce the overhangs of the gables with special metal strips, their fastening is similar to the strips of the eaves.

Reinforcement of the valley is required in the case of an open method of laying Shingles: TECHNONICOL valley material is laid over the self-adhesive carpet with a horizontal shift of 20-30 mm. The lower part of the reinforcing fabric is smeared with bituminous mastic to a width of 100 mm from the edges and smoothed to the base. Instead of the valley material, a metal sheet with anti-corrosion protection can be used. The reinforcing material is fastened with nails every 20-25 cm with an indent of 20-30 mm from the edge.

Preliminary work ends with markings on the slope of horizontals and verticals, which facilitate the laying of the cover layer.

Shinglas: installation instructions

Mix 5-6 packs of Shingles before applying the topcoat to achieve a more even color transition. The technology for laying shinglas soft tiles is quite simple:

1. We start laying from the middle of the longest slope and lead from the bottom up. As a cornice shingle, we use a special ridge-cornice shingle, or a trimmed ordinary shingle.
2. Glue the bottom shingle onto the underlayment with an indent of 10-20 mm from the bend of the cornice strip and fasten with nails.
3. We mount the subsequent rows diagonally.
4. We install special exit penetration communications, aerators and ventilation, chimneys.
5. We nail a triangular rail along the perimeter of vertical surfaces and glue strips 500 mm wide cut from the valley material onto the mastic(300 for the wall, 200 for the roof), we put the edge of the strip into a shtraba and protect it with a metal apron.
6. We fix the ridge element, made of ordinary tiles and bent on a heated metal pipe Ø10 cm, each nailed with 4 nails.

Shinglas tiling

Recipe for longevity

If you want to extend for a long time exploitation its beautiful new soft-tile roof, be prepared to service it regularly:

1. Twice a year inspect surfaces, joints and junctions;
2. clear with a soft brush from fallen leaves and debris;
3. Remove garbage manually with sharp edges;
4. Clean drains and trays;
5. snow removal with a wooden or plastic shovel in layers, leaving about 10 cm of snow for protection;
6. Carry out minor repairs as needed. You can read about roof repairs in winter here.

The manufacturer gives a guarantee for a single-layer canvas 10-15 years, two-layer up to 55 years, three-layer - 60 years. Following the installation technology of shingles shingles (everything about flexible shingles here), proposed by the manufacturer, inspecting the roof twice a year and regularly caring for it, we can say with confidence that Shingles will last for my lifetime!

Shinglas installation and do-it-yourself Shinglas soft tile laying technology

This article is devoted to Shinglas soft tiles, in which we will analyze in detail the technology of laying flexible tiles, as well as consider detailed instructions for installing a Ranch soft roof on a roof.

Shinglas shingles installation

A roof made of flexible bitumen shingles Shinglas will serve for a long time without changing its appearance and functional qualities only if the roof structure provides normal ventilation of the under-roof space, reliable hydro-vapor barrier and insulation corresponding to climatic conditions the area where the building was built.

It is not allowed to use flexible tiles of different color shades on the same roof. All Shinglas packages intended for the same roof must have the same color codes.

Even if the color codes match, the shades of the soft roof in different packages may differ slightly. To make these differences on the finished roof invisible, Westmet specialists recommend mixing tile sheets from several packages during installation, and laying them diagonally.

It is allowed to install Shinglas at low air temperatures, however, in this case, several additional rules should be observed. If the temperature does not exceed plus 5-10 degrees Celsius, then the tiles should be delivered to the roof from a heated room - no more than 6 packs at a time. The adhesive strip on tile shingles in such weather should be heated with a building hair dryer (if more than high temperature She doesn't need heating.

If it becomes necessary to cut tiles directly on the roof, then in no case should this be done on the mounted roof. It is recommended to use a pre-prepared board, so as not to damage the already laid shingles.

Pallets with shingles should be stored in a place protected from direct sunlight, otherwise the self-adhesive strips may stick to the protective film, which will further complicate installation.

Shinglas soft roof pallets should never be stacked on top of each other.

To make the sheets of shingles easier to separate from each other, before opening the next package of material, it is recommended to first bend it slightly and then shake it.

Important: In order not to leave stains on the SHINGLAS roofing in clear and hot weather, as well as at low temperatures and high air humidity, it is undesirable to walk on already installed tiles. To move along the roof, you need to leave manholes through which you can get to the desired place of the slope.

Necessary materials

Among all types of soft roofing, SHINGLAS has the widest range. On Russian market more than 60 colors of Shinglas are supplied.

ANDEREP self-adhesive materials:

• ANDEREP ULTRA is a high strength underlayment waterproofing material. Produced on a polyester base with a mineral coating. The fine-grained coating of the outer surface (sanding) provides additional protection. This lining carpet is most effective when using Shinglas shingles.
• ANDEREP BARRIER is a lightweight, sand-coated polyester waterproofing material. It is used as an additional protection for soft roofs from leaks in those places where they are most likely.

ANDEREP materials with mechanical fastening:

• ANDEREP PROF is a particularly lightweight rolled material that can be used in combination with both shingles and other types of coatings for pitched roof. The specific gravity of the polyester-based waterproofing material with a non-slip polypropylene outer layer is only 0.4 kg per square meter, which greatly simplifies installation.
• ANDEREP GL is an underlay waterproofing material for roofs covered with bituminous tiles. The fiberglass base is covered with sandy dressing from the outside and inside. Special strips in the places of longitudinal overlaps acquire adhesive properties when heated, therefore, when connecting adjacent sheets of the lining carpet, it is not necessary to use special mastic.

The special lining carpet TechnoNIKOL is designed for valleys that are exposed to moisture much more than the rest of the roof. The carpet for the valley is made of polyester and is covered with mineral chips on the outside. This coarse-grained protective coating based on basalt granules reliably protects the valley from leaks.

Eaves, gable overhangs and junction slats

When installing Shinglas, a number of additional elements are used, made of metal with an anti-corrosion protective coating, which also plays a decorative role. These are, in particular, junction planks, gable overhangs and cornice planks.

Fasteners - roofing nails

To fix bituminous tiles, special galvanized (galvanized) roofing nails are used. Their length is from 3 to 4.5 centimeters, the diameter of the rod is from 3 millimeters, and the diameter of the cap is at least 9 mm.

Bitumen-polymer mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

For gluing lining materials and roofing elements, cold mastic FIXER from TechnoNICOL on a bitumen-polymer basis is used.

Roof ventilation TechnoNIKOL

For proper ventilation of the under-roof space, it is necessary that there are a sufficient number of inlet openings in the lower part of the roof, and exhaust openings in the upper part, respectively. Special ventilation elements significantly improve the movement of air in the under-roof space.

In addition to lining materials and additional elements from TechnoNICOL, it is allowed to use their analogues from other manufacturers with similar characteristics.

Consumption of shingles

The number of tiles in one package depends on the type of Shinglas. For the Country collection it is 2.6 sq.m per package, for the Ranch and Jazz collections it is 2 sq.m, and for the Western and Continent series it is 1.5 sq.m. The norm for all other Shinglas collections is 3 sq.m per package. All figures are given based on the area of ​​the finished roof (that is, taking into account all the overlaps when laying the roofing).

On roofs of complex configuration, material consumption increases. In addition, one should keep in mind the waste factor, which depends on the shape of the shingles cutting. A cut like Sonata, Dragon Tooth or Accord requires no more than 5% waste. With other forms of cutting, the waste ratio increases to 10-15%. This is due to the need to arrange the starting strips and design the ridges and roof ridges.

Approximately 80 g of fasteners (galvanized nails) are required for each square meter of the roof.

Consumption of mastic TechnoNIKOL (FIXER):

For gluing overlaps of lining materials without self-adhesive strips, about 100 g of FIXER mastic per linear meter is required.

When installing a carpet for a valley, up to 400 g of mastic per linear meter is consumed.

Gluing the joints to ensure tightness requires approximately 750 g per meter.

The mastic should be applied in a thin layer (no more than 1 mm), otherwise swelling may appear in the places of gluing.

Preparing the base for the roof

SHINGLAS bituminous tiles are laid on a solid base, which can be made of boards, plywood, large-panel panels, oriented strand boards. Wood or other materials must be dry.

The flooring should be laid evenly - so that the differences between the boards or slabs in height do not exceed 2 millimeters.

Large-panel panels are laid with a spacing of seams and fixed with self-tapping screws or special ruff nails.

Plywood and oriented strand board have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than other wood materials, so when building a plywood or OSB-3 base, a gap of 3-5 millimeters should be left between the boards.

If the flooring is made of boards, then all of them should be laid as shown in Figure 4 - with the same orientation of the annual rings visible at the ends of the boards. An incorrectly laid board is crossed out in the figure.

If boards of unequal thickness are used, then the thickest of them should be placed at the roof eaves, and then gradually reduce the thickness of the flooring from the eaves to the ridge.

Adjacent boards should be joined on the roof rafters, securing them at the junction with at least four nails.

If necessary, plank flooring for flexible tiles can also be made from damp wood. In this case, the boards are fixed along the edges with two self-tapping screws, and the flooring must dry before the installation of Shinglas.

Installation of cornice strips

To strengthen the cornice overhang of the roof, special cornice strips are used, made of metal with a protective coating. They are mounted along the edge of the deck, as shown in fig. 6 and are fixed with nails, which are driven in at a distance of 12-15 centimeters from each other in a checkerboard pattern. At the joints, the cornice strips are laid with an overlap of 3-5 cm.

Installation of waterproofing materials

Lining material, as a rule, is laid over the entire surface of the slopes. Where ordinary tiles will be installed, Westmet engineers recommend using a mechanically fixed underlayment, and self-adhesive waterproofing materials in valleys, at cornices and in other places with an increased risk of leaks.

ANDEREP rolled materials from TechnoNIKOL are best suited as roofing waterproofing for SHINGLAS, but other materials with similar properties can also be used.

In the valley, the self-adhesive underlayment must be 1 m wide (half a meter on each side of the valley axis).

It is advisable to lay the lining material in the valley end-to-end, that is, without overlaps. Alternative option– installation with an overlap of 300 mm with reliable gluing of the seams.

At the roof eaves, the self-adhesive carpet is fixed as shown in fig. 7. It covers the part of the cornice that protrudes beyond the line of the wall, as well as at least 60 centimeters up the slope. Waterproofing, installed in this way, avoids leaks near the eaves during sudden temperature fluctuations, melting snow on the roof, heavy rainfall and other problems with temperature and humidity in the under-roof space.

At the cornice overhang, the lower edge of the lining material should be 20-30 millimeters from the fold of the metal cornice strip.

The lining carpet, fixed mechanically, is mounted on the slope from the eaves to the ridge (that is, from the bottom up) with an overlap of adjacent canvases both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. For ANDEREP materials from TechnoNIKOL, the longitudinal overlap is 10 centimeters, and the transverse overlap is 15 cm.

If BiCARD underlays and their organic-based counterparts are used, the amount of overlap depends on the slope of the roof slopes. If the angle of inclination of the slopes is less than 30 degrees, then an overlap of at least 60 cm is required. With a more significant slope of the slope, an overlap of 10 cm is sufficient.

Cloths of lining material during installation are rolled out parallel to the roof eaves and fixed to the solid flooring with roofing nails in increments of 20-25 centimeters. The joints of the canvases should be glued with FIXER mastic, applying it in the place of overlap with a layer of 200-300 millimeters wide.

In areas with moderate temperature fluctuations and relatively low levels of precipitation (Central, Northwestern, Volga, Southern and North Caucasian federal districts), it is possible to reduce the consumption of lining materials. When using Shinglas with cuts such as Beaver Tail, Sonata, Trio or Accord, it is allowed to mount an underlayment carpet only around the perimeter of the roof (in strips of 50 cm), along cornice overhangs and in valleys, as well as in other places where there is a high risk of leakage - for example, at roof windows and through exits through the roof (ventilation shafts, chimneys, communications). However, this reduces the warranty period for a soft roof.

Outside of the listed federal districts, this condition does not apply and the laying of lining materials over the entire area of ​​​​the slopes is mandatory.

Strengthening the gable overhang

To reinforce the gable overhang, metal end gable strips are used. They are fastened over the underlayment with nails, as shown in fig. 9. Galvanized roofing nails are driven in at a distance of 12-15 centimeters in a checkerboard pattern.

Neighboring gable planks are laid with an overlap of 3-5 cm. In this place, the distance between the nails should be no more than 2-3 centimeters.

Immediately before the installation of sheets of tiles suitable for the pediment, the end strip is smeared with FIXER mastic, and the upper corner of the sheet is trimmed.

Valley preparation

There are two methods for installing Shinglas shingles in a valley. The SHINGLAS open installation method requires the use of a valley carpet, while the undercut method eliminates it.

The TechnoNICOL valley carpet is laid over the self-adhesive lining material already installed in the valley during the complete or partial waterproofing of the slopes (see the section “Installation of waterproofing materials” above). The scheme of laying the carpet is shown in fig. 10. The carpet for the valley is mounted along its axis, indicated by the number 1, with a horizontal offset of 20-30 millimeters. From the bottom side, the carpet for the valley must be smeared with FIXER mastic, with a layer 100 mm wide around the entire perimeter.

In addition to a special carpet, with the open method of laying shingles in the valley, it is possible to use a steel sheet with a surface that is resistant to corrosion. A metal sheet instead of a valley carpet is the most suitable option for regions with long and hot summers.

A special carpet or steel sheet is nailed with nails with a gap of 200-250 millimeters and an indent from the edge of the valley by 20-30 mm on each side.

It is best to lay sheets of waterproofing material end-to-end so that the carpet is solid. If this is not possible, then installation of a carpet with a 30-centimeter overlap is allowed. Seams in places of overlap should be carefully glued.

If this method is used, neither valley carpet nor sheet metal is required. The installation of flexible tiles by cutting is discussed in the instructions below.

Slope marking

For correct installation Shinglas is recommended to be applied to the flooring, which serves as the basis for flexible tiles, marking lines. They perform a guiding function. The vertical lines are separated from each other by the width of one tile sheet, and the horizontal lines by five rows (see figure).

Marking lines also serve to align the sheets, but are not a guideline for their fastening with nails. Fixing tiles should be carried out according to the scheme given in the next section of the instructions.

Installation of shingles SHINGLAS

Mounting tips Shinglas

Shinglas with different color codes cannot be used on the roof of the same building.

Mixing tiles from 5-6 packs will help to avoid visible differences in color shades of different parts of the roofing (if this is not done, then a subtle difference in color tones may be distinguishable on the finished roof).

In cold weather (at outdoor temperatures below 5-10 degrees), Shinglas must be stored in a warm place for at least a day before installation. The temperature in the room should not be lower than 20 degrees, and no more than 5-6 packages should be taken out into the cold at a time. The following packages can only be delivered to the roof after the tiles from the previous ones have been laid.

The self-adhesive strips on bituminous shingles need to be warmed up in cold weather. For this purpose, a building hair dryer is used.

Tiling fastening

Fig. 12 (scheme of fastening sheets with nails)

The tile sheets on the slope are fastened to the continuous flooring with roofing nails resistant to corrosion. These wide-headed nails are driven in in such a way that the head does not go deep into the surface of the tile sheet either directly or obliquely. The bottom edge of the cap must be exactly in line with the surface of the tile (see top image in fig. 12).

The required number of nails depends on the angle of the slopes, as well as on the SHINGLAS collection and the shape of the tiles. The recommended position of nails for different series of Shinglas is shown in fig. 12.

Important: the flexible tiles of the JAZZ and COUNTRY series are mounted with an overlap, therefore, at the junction, two adjacent sheets are fixed with one nail. To correctly determine the place of fixation, you should focus on the assembly line, which is present on the outer surface of the tiles of these series (this line is applied during the manufacture of the roofing material).

For fastening roofing sheets of the CONTINENT series, only long nails with a wide head (4.5 centimeters long) are suitable.

Installation of the starting strip

The material for the starting strip is selected depending on the SHINGLAS series. In some collections, ridge-cornice tiles are used for this purpose, while in others, standard ordinary tiles are used.

Ridge and eaves universal tiles do not require cutting and are laid with the adhesive side down over the waterproofing lining material with a 10-20 mm offset from the cornice strip bend. The longer the roof slope and the greater the angle of its inclination, the wider this indent should be.

The starting strip for Shinglas with the shape of cutting Accord, Beaver Tail, Sonata or Trio is made from ordinary tiled sheets, from which the petals are cut. From the underside, the entire surface of the strip, with the exception of the adhesive layer, is covered with a layer of mastic, after which it is glued in exactly the same way as described above.

Under a soft roof with a Continent and Dragon's Tooth thread, the starting strip is made from shingles of an ordinary tile without cutting off the petals.

Laying the first and next rows of Shinglas

It is recommended to lay the sheets of soft roofing starting from the middle of the slope. This makes it easier to align the shingles, especially on long pitches. The first row of tiles starts from the starting strip with a gap of 10-20 millimeters between it and the lower edge of the roofing sheets.

Laying the next rows is carried out from the bottom up diagonally.

Features of the installation of ordinary tiles, depending on the shape of the cut, are shown in fig. 14 and 15.

Western and Sonata

The second row is laid from the middle of the slope with a shift in one direction or another by the width of half the petal. You can carry out installation from the center of the slope in any direction - to the right or to the left.

The lower edge of the petals after fixing the second row of tiles with nails should coincide with the upper edge of the cutouts in the previous row.

In the same way, with a shift of half a petal and alignment with the cutouts of the previous row, the third row of shingles and all subsequent ones are laid.

On fig. 16 shows a variant of the installation of Shinglas shingles from the middle of the slope in strips, and in fig. 17 - in the form of a pyramid.

With a downpour or slanting rain, the risk of moisture leakage along the edge of the roof increases. To avoid this, it is advisable to glue Shinglas shingles along the edge of the roof with FIXER mastic to a width of 100 millimeters.

At the gable, the corners of the shingles that fit the end plank must be trimmed, as indicated above, in fig. 9. This is done to organize the proper flow of water from the roof.

Shinglas series COUNTRY, RANCH and JAZZ has a number of features. The shingles of these collections are laid not with an equal offset between the rows, but with an arbitrary offset from 150 to 850 millimeters. The shift must constantly change so that the result is an abstract pattern on the roof.

Valley device

An open method of laying tiles in a valley

Ordinary sheets of a soft roof are mounted in any order from the edge of the valley to its axis (Fig. 18, mark 1). The tile is laid directly on the TechnoNICOL waterproofing valley carpet or a metal sheet and brought to the undercut line, indicated in the figure by the number 3.

Each roofing sheet from above, in addition to the usual fixation, is fastened with additional nails. However, these nails should not be driven closer than 300 mm from the axis of the valley (Fig. 18, 2).

When the tiles in the valley are laid, lines are drawn on its surface on both sides of the axis with the help of a coated beating, along which the excess tile shingles are cut off. When cutting tiles, be sure to put a board in order to avoid damage to the waterproofing in the valley.

Each sheet of soft roofing in the valley must be cut to repel water and covered on the inside with adhesive mastic to a width of 100 millimeters (where there is no self-adhesive strip, see Fig. 18, 5).

If the roof slopes are not the same in area, configuration and angle of inclination, a different volume of water may enter the valley from them. In this case, the valley chute should be shifted in the direction from which the water flow is less. Such a displacement compensates for the washout at the junction of the waterproofing carpet and the tile covering in the valley.

The gutter of the valley can have a different width - in the range from 50 to 150 millimeters. If the house is located in a forest or under the crowns of tall trees, the gutter should be made wider to make it easier to clear it of falling branches and leaves.

When using this method, the roofing is mounted from the side of the slope with a smaller angle of inclination towards the axis of the valley and then with an overlap on another slope. The width of the overlap is at least 300 millimeters from the center line towards the steeper slope.

Shinglas in the valley is fastened in the same way as with the open method - with additional nails on the upper side of the sheets, but not closer than 30 centimeters from the center line (Fig. 19, marks 1 and 2).

When the laying of tiles on a slope with a lower angle of inclination is completed, one undercut line is made using coated chipping - 70-80 millimeters from the axis of the valley on the second slope (which has a greater slope). This line is marked in Fig. 19 number 3.

Further along this line, tiles are cut, mounted in the valley from the side of the slope with a greater steepness. As with the open method, the roofing sheets in the valley should be covered with mastic on the inside and trimmed to repel water, as shown in fig. 19, mark 4.

Slope crossings (ribs and ridge)

Roof slopes intersect at the top roof structure, forming a skate. A roof of complex configuration may also have lateral intersections of slopes, which are usually referred to as ribs. The construction of ridges and ribs (ridges) of the roof is carried out in a similar way, but the installation methods may differ depending on the SHINGLAS series and the shape of the shingles cutting.

A number of SHINGLAS collections are equipped with universal ridge and cornice tiles. It can be divided along the perforation lines, getting individual elements for starting strips on cornice overhangs, for ridge and for other purposes.

In this case, we are interested in ridge tiles. After dividing the universal sheet into three parts, a ready-made element for the installation of ridges and ribs is obtained, compatible with SHINGLAS shingles of the Accord, Western, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Continent types.

Edge. Shingles of shingles that overlap the rib on both sides must be trimmed so that there is a gap of 50 millimeters between them. Coated beating lines are drawn at an equal distance from the ridge on both sides of its middle. Ridge tiles are laid along these lines. Installation is carried out from the bottom up, with the fastening of each sheet of ridge tiles with roofing nails - 2 on both sides, that is, 4 per sheet.

Ridge tiles are laid along the edge of the roof with an overlap of 30-50 millimeters - so that the top sheet covers the nail heads that fix the previous one.

Skate. On the ridge of the roof, the installation of sheets of ridge tiles is carried out in almost the same way as on the edge - with the difference that the laying is carried out in a horizontal plane. Installation should begin from the side opposite to the most typical wind direction in the area where the building is located.

For beavertail, dragontooth, sonata and trio cut flexible shingles, ridge shingles can be made from standard roofing sheets. The scheme of pattern and bending of sheets is shown in fig. 20.

Please note that with the Sonata cut shape, the location of the visible part (A) and the hidden part (B) differs from the other options.

The inner side of ridge tiles made of SHINGLAS ordinary tiles, when mounted on the ribs and ridges of the roof, must be covered on the inside with FIXER mastic - everywhere except for self-adhesive strips. In addition, installation is no different from laying universal ridge-cornice tiles.

Important: at low air temperatures, it is desirable to bend the ridge and rib elements of some SHINGLAS collections on a special heated metal pipe. The diameter of the pipe should be about 100 millimeters.

Soft roofs from the Ranch, Country and Jazz collections cannot be bent at all except on a heated pipe.

Shinglas type Finnish Tile and Classic experts advise bending using heated metal pipe when the air temperature is below plus 5 degrees.

Installation of Shinglas on conical and domed roofs

One of the advantages of a soft roof is the ability to easily mount it on a roof with a curved surface.

There are two main options for installing Shinglas shingles on this type of roof.

The first one is segmental. This method involves the division of a dome or conical roof into separate segments that can be covered with ordinary tiles. And between the segments, ridge tiles are laid - just like on the ridges of an ordinary roof.

The area of ​​each segment depends on the configuration of the dome or cone.

1. Metal tip (mounted after laying the roofing).
2. Slope marking.
3. A whole petal of flexible tiles.
4. Half petal.
5. Lining waterproofing material.

According to Westmet engineers, the seamless method of installing shingles on curved surfaces (Fig. 21) is the most effective and attractive from an aesthetic point of view, but at the same time it is especially difficult.

On the base of the roof, it is necessary to draw lines spaced from each other by a width of half a petal of the selected type of flexible tile. These lines converge at the top of a cone or dome.

Shingles of flexible tiles must be divided into separate petals and form the first row of roofing from them in accordance with the markings.

The next row is mounted with a shift of half a petal with trimming of the tiles when going beyond the marking lines. If the next row cannot be laid out with whole petals, petals divided in half are used (Fig. 21 - a row of whole petals is marked with the number 3, a row of cut petals is marked with the number 4).

In the upper part, the cone or dome is closed with a metal cap (if necessary, decorative elements can be installed - depending on the wishes of the owner or the purpose of the public building).

Attachment to vertical surfaces

The connection of roofing to walls, chimneys and other vertical surfaces requires special attention. Proper connection design eliminates the risk of leaks in these vulnerable areas.

Along the joint line, and in the case of chimneys and ventilation shafts, a triangular rail or plinth is installed along the perimeter. A timber with a section of 5 by 5 centimeters, sawn diagonally, is best suited.

On fig. 22, the triangular rail is marked with the number 1.

Shinglas shingles, suitable for abutment, are laid over a triangular rail.

In order to provide waterproofing of the junction, a valley carpet from TechnoNIKOL is used (Fig. 22, 5). Strips of at least 50 centimeters wide are cut out of it, and sufficient in length to cover the entire junction line or perimeter.

The waterproofing carpet is wound on a vertical surface by at least 30 centimeters. If, according to the climatic conditions of the region, it is possible to assume a high level of precipitation in winter period(and, accordingly, a significant accumulation of snow on the roof), it is recommended to make a wider pattern and raise the waterproofing strip even higher.

If the wall, chimney, ventilation shaft or other vertical surface at the junction is built of brick, then even before the start roofing works it must be plastered, and, if necessary, primed (primed).

In the upper part, the junction is covered with a metal apron (Fig. 22, 2) and treated with a sealant.

Patterns for connecting SHINGLAS shingles to chimneys and ventilation shafts can be made both from TechnoNIKOL valley carpet (Fig. 23) and from sheet metal with a protective coating (Fig. 24).

Behind pipes with a cross section of more than half a meter, a groove should be arranged in order to avoid excessive accumulation of snow.

If the roof slope is adjacent to a wall, a storm drain must be mounted on its lower edge, as shown in fig. 26.

If the roof slope ends at the junction with the wall, at the end of the slope, a storm drain made of metal with an anti-corrosion coating should be installed (Fig. 26). The chipper is made of metal resistant to corrosion.

Arrangement of roof penetrations

Holes passing through the roof to bring pipes, antennas, wires and other communications to the roof are sealed in the lower part using passage elements specially designed for this purpose.

Pass-through elements are attached to the base with roofing nails. Sheets of tiles are superimposed over the passage element, after which they are cut off and attached to the flange with adhesive mastic. After that, you can install the desired roof outlet in this place.

Ventilation outlets are produced in two versions. Insulated exits can be used on the roof of buildings that serve as residential or other uses. all year round, including in winter. Thanks to polyurethane insulation, condensate never freezes in them.

Non-insulated outputs are intended mainly for warm regions, as well as for buildings and structures that are used mainly in the warm season.

Decorative caps improve the appearance of the ventilation outlets. However, their use does not affect functional characteristics ventilation system. Even if water, leaves and small debris get into the hood, and through it, water, leaves and small debris enter the outlet, they are freely discharged into the sewer system.

On the other hand, it is undesirable to equip outlets designed for improved ventilation directly to the sewer itself with caps. During the cold period, due to the increased humidity of the fumes, condensate can accumulate and freeze in the hood.

Soft tiles give any house a completely different look: the structure becomes beautiful and aesthetically attractive. The tile always looks noble, which cannot be said about the widespread asbestos-cement sheet (popularly referred to as slate), it is more solid, and gives the house a certain kind of prosperity.

Of course, not only from the use of a soft roof, the house acquires this eye-catching appearance. An important role in such cases is played by both the manufacturer and the skill of the workers performing the installation. But the services of workers require additional money, and their cost can often even be equal to the cost of the roof itself.

That is why many people, when purchasing a soft roof, tend to install it on their own, without any help from installation companies. This, of course, requires certain skills, without which the installation of a Shinglas soft roof is simply not possible. But if you already have experience construction works, just watch the video, which will show the features of laying tiles of this type (and there are a lot of such videos on the Runet), and also read the instructions, which we will try to present as briefly and at the same time as completely as possible.

Roofing is best done during dry and warm seasons. Many expect that they will cope in one light day, but the cases are different, the circumstances are different, and it may well happen that instead of the expected day, the installation will take about a week. That is why it is better to know the long-term weather forecast in advance so that rain, hail or a storm warning do not take you by surprise.

There can be no question of styling in the winter. Unless you live in southern Italy, and you are not embarrassed by a piercing wind at 25 degrees Celsius. In the conditions of Russia, such a global depressurization of a dwelling in cold weather is highly discouraged.

Shinglas produces a wide variety of types of soft roofs, we list here the main ones:

1. The two-layer laminated tile of the Ranch.
2. Two-layer laminated tile Country.
3. Two-layer laminated tile Jazz.
4. Two-layer laminated tile Western.
5. Three-layer laminated tile Continent.
6. And others.

You can find more details directly on the Shinglas website or in an online store selling this type of roofing. Differences in it are insignificant, and affect more appearance than on the quality of building materials. One package contains enough roofing to cover two square meters, so based on this figure and the size of the roof, you can accurately calculate how many packs of soft roof you need.

You should not save, and it is better to use a soft roof. Although the ease of installation makes the price per 1 sq. m. acceptable, for average incomes. Today we will consider the Shinglas roof, laying technology, properties, pros and cons. Most importantly, the service life of this coating is about 60 years, of course, subject to technology.

• ANDEREP GL - the principle of the device and structure is similar to that of soft tiles, it is also fixed mechanically, and does not require the use of mastics to seal the joints. Apply mainly under a soft tile.

1. Roofing nails. This is a steel fastener covered with stainless steel on top, the diameter of the nail head is not less than 9 mm. And also the diameter of the rod is not less than 3 mm. Fastener consumption per 1 sq. m. is 80 gr.

And now we will tell you why we settled on the Shinglas tile.

Because both tiles and all auxiliary materials and components are made by the same manufacturer Techno Nicol and can be bought in one place. Which is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

Installation of shingles Shinglas

As we all understand that the installation consists of many stages. The first step is to create

Foundations for laying

It should start with the fact that work should be carried out in a warm, rainless season.

We attach a membrane film to the rafters, which will protect the insulation from moisture.

We fix the film with the help of a counter-lattice.

Insulation is laid on the underside of the membrane between the rafters. We fix the counter-rail on the counter-lattice in increments of 20 cm.

We choose the most best option, this is OSB-3 (oriented strand board), but plywood and other building materials can also be used.

It should be fixed in the form brickwork using nails and screws. The seam between the plates must be left 3-4 mm. for thermal expansion.

When using shingles from the Western and Continent collection, the base must be at least 12 mm thick. For other collections, a thickness of 9 mm is sufficient.

Lining technology

We have examined the types of lining option above, it should be noted that ANDEREP self-adhesive lining layer is used for the valley area, it is advisable to use one roll for the entire length, but if this does not work out, then the overlap should be at least 30 cm and do not forget to carefully glue the joint . The width of the lining carpet should be chosen 1 m, 50 cm from each edge.

In the area of ​​the cornice overhang, ANDEREP self-adhesive material is also used.

The material is laid on the very width of the eaves, as well as about 60 cm inside the building.

This installation method prevents water ingress.

The entire remaining surface of the roof is covered with lining material with a mechanical type of fastening. Laying can be carried out both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction. From the bottom up, in the longitudinal method, the overlap is not less than 10 cm. Parallel to the cornice overhang, the overlap is not less than 15 cm. With any method, the joints must be processed by the Fixer to the full width. The lining carpet is attached to the roof surface with roofing fasteners.

It should be noted here that after the lining material is attached, markings are applied. The marking allows you to lay evenly soft tiles, both vertically and horizontally, but this does not mean that tiles should be nailed along these lines. Everything is simple vertically, the strip is equal to the width of the tile itself, and horizontally every five rows minus 80 cm.

Shinglas shingles installation technology

We fix the starting strip, this begins. You can use a special ridge-cornice tile or the tile itself, only after cutting off the petals.

We retreat about two centimeters from the edge of the roof and stick it on top of the lining layer and nail it.

After that, we begin the installation of the initial row, experts recommend starting, from the center of the roof and unforgettably, retreat 2 cm from the edge of the starting layer.

The next layer is mounted in the same way from the center, but shifting to the left or right to the floor of the petal. So we continue to glue and nail the tiles for each subsequent row, and do not forget to shift.

Tiles in each pack may vary slightly in shade, so several packs should be mixed. The tiles are nailed with galvanized nails, the main thing is that the hats are in the same plane with the roof surface.

For different shapes tiles different amount of fasteners and fastening method.

So for the Dragon Tooth, the overlap of two layers of tiles is simultaneously fastened with a nail to make it easier to hammer in, the manufacturer marks the front surface of the roof with a thin line.

The Continent collection should only be fastened with nails 45 mm long.

The edge of the tile along the edge of the roof should be glued with impregnation to a depth of about 100 mm. this allows the roof to be protected from side rain. It is recommended to heat the adhesive layer with a building hair dryer.

We bring the top row to the ridge and cut it by 2-3 cm, to the edge of the metal bar, to beat off water. On the other side of the roof, the sequence is the same. Ridge tiles are also used for arranging ribs. Near the ribs and slopes, the coating is cut so that there is a gap of about 50 mm. Ridge tiles, laid from the bottom up, with an overlap of about 5 cm. Fastening is done with nails, 2 pcs. from each side. plaster and primer. Ridge tiles are laid on top of a row of tiles.

With an overlap on the prepared wall, but not less than 300 mm.

We carefully process all joints, seams and surfaces.

Roof care

As with any type of flooring, shinglas shingles require maintenance and repair.

1. Checking should be done every fall and spring.
2. When removing branches and leaves, use only soft brushes.
3. Periodically clean gutters of debris.
4. If a large layer of snow accumulates in winter, it must be removed in layers. You can only use a wooden shovel. Professionals recommend leaving 5-8 cm of snow as a protective layer.

In case of damage to the roofing, it can be restored.

1. Eliminate the cause of the damage.
2. Dismantle the old section, damaged shingles.
3. Carry out the installation of a new section of the coating using a hair dryer and bridges.
