Installation of flexible tiles with your own hands: Step-by-step instructions for working. How to avoid the formation of "waves" on the tile? List of typical errors and often emerging problems when installing flexible tiles

When examining the capricted roofs from bituminous tiles, as it is not surprising, it often finds out that most problems are not a consequence of wear or other operational damage, but the result of mild roofing errors. Some of these flaws are difficult to fix, others can be fixed even a few years after the roof is edited.

When the customer announces the flowing roof, it often has its own (not always true) ideas about the causes of leakage. After carefully listening, we start your survey from a number of clarifying issues. How long does the roof flow? Were leakage in this place before? How long has roofing exploited?

If the leakage appears, it disappears for a long period, the reason is most likely in the disadvantages of the structure or the improper choice of materials. If the roof is 20 years old, the case is most likely in her dilapidation. If the house is a new (2-3 years), then the reason lies, as a rule, in the roof mounting errors. First of all, we ask you to show traces of water in the house and try to determine whether the roof is to blame. Sometimes it seems to be related to the roof of the leakage in reality turn out to be the problems of the walls of the walls or windows.

After examining the house from the inside, we go to the roof, where we narrow the search to the region with a radius of 3-4 m with a center in the area of \u200b\u200bleaving the leaks inside the house. Then check the coating - we estimate its condition, we are looking for punctures from nails or branches of trees.

Inactively derived ventilation risers and flue pipes, cable glands, fastening satellite antennas - all this may be among the possible causes of leakage. Especially carefully checking the rtandov, which are predisposed to leaks. If problems lie in Undova, we replace it entirely, not even trying to engage in small latching holes.

Bad fasteners

The most common problem with which I encounter when examining the structure. If the flooring begins, then the fastener "Self-practiced", as a result speaking Hats Nail Damage Soft Tile Plates And cause leaks. However, the pushing of nails is quite possible with time and on a well-made roof. Finding a problem nail, I pull it out, and then replacing a damaged plate.

Incorrectly laid the first row of bitumen tiles

It's amazing how often I find leaks due to the fact that the joints of the plates in the starting and the first rows coincide. This location certainly gives the leakage along the bottom edge of the skate and leads to the winding of the ends of the rafter and other structural elements.

If the design is not damaged, then the repair in this situation is simple: you need to pull out several nails and push the roofing plates of the starting and first rows metal inserts, covering unprotected joints. These plates can be fixed with nails or drops of sealant.

Of course, if the flooring is damaged, you will first have to remove several rows of roofing plates, replace damaged wooden parts, lay waterproof membrane coating and only after that restore roofing rows.

If the plates of the roof are poorly fixed, the wind raises their edges, as a result of which the water can penetrate the coating. Cases of incorrect mounting should include lack of fasteners, too high or low location of them on the plate and other flaws. Always follow the recommended plates mounting scheme and secure them "in storm" on all roofs in windy areas and on the roofs with a slope of more than 10:12.

Put nails correctly. They must pass through the mounting strip directly under the adhesive strip, where they will be covered with the petals of the plates of the next row. Open nails - the right way to the water under the roof.

The causes of leakage often become the shortcomings of the roof design, which occur as a rule, at the design stage. The project errors should include improper placement of drainage chutes or funds that guide water on the walls, the unsuccessful arrangement of auditory windows, an illiterate choice of space for a chimney, which prevents the flow of water, and overlook the roof outlines.

It is almost impossible to fix such flaws of the project, since the house is already built, but to pay close attention to the zones, where because of this, the leakage is likely, it is necessary.

This may seem strange, but the plates with a continuous adhesive strip can themselves cause the leakage. Water, hitting the plate with a continuous adhesive strip on the side, will not be able to drain down and will move to the side until it finds the output point that turns out to be at the junction between the plates. Here the leakage begins. Endovists, chimneys, inner drains, outstands - the most vulnerable places for water, allowing water to penetrate the roof. Such leaks are very difficult to detect and eliminate their cause. Therefore, it is better not to risk and use plates with intermittent adhesive strip. If you have to use plates with a continuous adhesive strip, make sure that the aprons of endands and chimneys do not direct water to the place where it can find its way under the coating.

Avoid using plates with continuous adhesive strip. Water that fell under the plate on the side does not have exit. Plates with intermittent adhesive stripe allow water to drain through each interval.

"Fracture" package

Some roofers make a big mistake, loading the package of plates on the roof, laying it with the gear of the packaging on the skate. This can cause a fracture of the plates and the separation of their layers, which will certainly affect the timing of the new roof service.

Always lay packaging on the flat surface of the roof. And further. Since cold plates are more predisposed to cracking, try to avoid roofing in cold weather, except for emergency cases.

Do not overtake roofing plates through a horse. This may damage the basics of the material and reduce the service life of the roof. Place the packages on the flat roof, and to prevent their scaling, use the stop.

Errors when device adjoins

One of the causes of leakage may be incorrectly installed adjoining elements. For example, if the apron covers the adhesive lane of the roofing plate, the plate of the next (top, over the adjoint, row) will not be glued to the bottom.

Sometimes this problem is trying to decide, shifting the apron slightly up so that its upper edge is above the edge of the roofing plate. When the nail is clogged into the element of the adjunct, the top edge of the roofing plate turns into a plot of support. As a result, the apron raises the lower edge of the next row roofing plate, creating a gap in which water can penetrate. The roofer tries to correct it, scoring the nail into the bottom edge of the nail element, which will not be closed as follows next, which can also cause leak.

The reason for many leaks is poor waterproofing of chimneys. However, before you eliminate this problem, check the layout status and make sure there are no bricks. The most common error in the waterproofing of flue pipes lies in the fact that the roofers do not close the fading of the aprons in the masonry.

The adjoining here should be made only from the leaf metal strip embedded on the machine, strictly M-figurative in the profile, gently close the apron into the solution between the rows of masonry. The adjoining made without the use of the bending machine is a serious signal indicating the insane wizard to the details. Recovering the roof with a non-male-made isolation of the chimney, immediately look for other defects.

Waterproofing of the chimney - work for a professional. The pavement places of flue pipes and roofs are potential leakage areas. If the bricklayers did not close the aprons into the solution between the rows of masonry, and the adjoining was made with nails and putty - it is very bad. The seams must be past a corner machine so that the apron can be reliably embodied between the rows of masonry.

The leakage can easily arise due to operational damage to the roof. Television or satellite antennas, light and ventilation hatches cannot be installed on any, but this happens quite often.

Destroy the integrity of the coating can be the resulting branches of trees, and excessive roof shading contributes to the growth of moss on its surface, which also leads to damage to the roof.

Under careless coating

We only have to be surprised that most of the funds do not flow, given the widespread use of self-adhesive waterproof films in the practice of roofing works as a coating in UNDOVA. Some inexpensive films have a warranty service life of only 5 years. Roofing plates with a service life of 50 years on top of the film with a resource in 5 years - it is nonsense. The only reliable way to eliminate streams in Undova is completely overlapping this problem area. When repairing endands, always apply not only waterproof film, but also a metal apron.

Repair of endanda usually means its full overlap. Starting from the top, remove the entire part of the EANDO on one roofing plate. Accuracy here is extremely important, since it depends on the care of disassembly, how well it will be able to collect again.

The roofing with trimming plates in the endows is often made incorrectly (left). Endovans with a metal apron are reliable (right).

Removing the damaged plate without prejudice to its intact neighbors - the task is not from the lungs. This job is best to perform when the plates are cold enough so that they do not stop under their feet, and at the same time warm so that they do not crack during the work. In the summer, this repair is better to do in the early morning. In winter, such works should be avoided, except for urgent cases.

	Divide the glued plates in the row below and in two rows above the plate to be deleted. This may be not easy. Roofing plates whose service life is up to 50 years old, glued very firmly. In such cases, the adhesive strip will have to trim.
	After the plates are separated from each other, you can remove nails that hold the damaged plate.
	Before removing the plate, you need to pull four more nails in a row
	Now you can pull the damaged plate, slip on its place a new one and again secure nails earlier than the released plates.

When fixing the repair plate, you should not score new nails into the holes from the previously extended - they will certainly be squeezed. Drive the nails next to the old holes, and in the latter a little bit of sealant. All sorted edges of the plates also curse the sealant.

Roof - face at home. That is why this part of the structure needs to pay special attention, but you may have considerable difficulties in the process of choosing a roofing material, since there are many "rumors" about a soft roof. Let's still find out that there is "truth", and what "lie" relatively.

Myth number 1: Soft roof - this is the same runner only more

Actually Comparison of these materials causes indignation from specialists.

In order to understand what the difference or similarity of these roofing materials, you must first find out what is the basis of the material. Ruberoid base - recycled waste paper - paper! The base of the soft roof - glassball. A glass cholester unlike paper does not rot - this is the first and most important difference!

For production, high-quality bitumen is used with the addition of SBS-innovative polymer, which is covered with glassball from both sides, which makes it a durable material compared to the rubberoid for which the usual bitumen is used.

The top layer of the rubberoid - the surface is not protected from ultraviolet rays because of what the service life is only 5 years old. The upper layer of soft roof is a stone granulate that protects bitumen from any external influences, thanks to which the service life is more than 50 years.

Myth number 2: Soft roof is a very expensive roofing material that can only afford very rich people.

Actually One of the most common myths.

First, "very rich people" are ready to buy roofing material for their home such as slate, copper, and, of course, a soft roof ... After all, right?

Secondly, yes - the flexible tile is not cheap, but compared to the above roofing materials, it is highlighted by its democracy in price.

Most likely, the owners of houses with outdated roofs gave rise to this hearing, which is known only one as roofing material - slate. So, after a certain time, each, who has a house, faces the problem of choosing a roofing material. Often the choice drops precisely on flexible tile, because it is a beautiful and reliable material. By comparing the price of an outdated slate or a poor-quality rubberoid with a flexible tile, the difference becomes so obvious that it is difficult not to notice. In this case, of course, the flexible tile is an expensive roofing material. Unfortunately, it does not happen that the cheap roof can be high-quality, reliable and durable.

Remember that save on the roof, as absurd as on the foundation. The service life of the entire building depends on the quality of the roofing material.. The question is "cheap or expensive" for every person individual.

Myth number 3: Flexible tile is cracking and breaking

Actually Such an assumption is partly true.

The fact is that each of the materials presented in the market correspond to their own characteristics of production and specifications, so let's say, "recipe" flexible tile. Some manufacturers of soft roof use an oxidized bitumen, which is the main reason for the fragility of the roofing material, it cracks in the cold and does not withstand mechanical pressure (it is impossible to move on such a roof).

However, if the flexible tile is made on the basis of the bitumen modified by polymers (SBS), it easily maintains the conditions of the Russian harsh winter. SBS is styrene-styrene styrene or artificial rubber. The unique molecular structure of polymers interacts with bitumen, increasing its flexibility, elasticity and strength in a wide range of temperatures and reducing the sensitivity of bitumen to extreme temperatures. The bending of such a material at minus temperatures shows the flexibility and absence of cracks at very low temperatures.

Myth number 4: Flexible tile is deformed in the sun and visible boards

In fact, irregularities will take place on the roof only if there were poor-quality (raw) boards, plywood or OSB plates under a solid base. We recommend using high-quality OSB plates or moisture-resistant fane, and if the edged board is still used, it should be natural drying!

Myth number 5: Flexible tile fades

In fact, the color of the flexible tile. The sputum is provided by the surface of the stone granules, which are painted with a thermochemical way, that is, the painting enzyme penetrates into the structure of the stone, and not just punishes from above, so the granules do not lose their original color. It is also protection against ultraviolet rays.

Such a delusion is born from homeowners when surveying the roof. If you begin (lift) the tip row, the color of the granulate under it will be much darker and rich. This is a very simple explanation: not those granules are subject to change, and those that are covered by subsequent gates.

The difference in the color of the tile granulate on the upper "petals" and "under the petals" arises due to the fact that bitumen having an oily dark structure, from the upper layer absorbed by the granules of the lower, Therefore, the upper gears and seem to be "faded", more faded. From here and the erroneous opinion is born that the roofing material is fading.

Myth number 6: Very complicated installation in cold weather!

Actually complicated - but it is possible!

You can not mount in rain and snowfall, the presence of a SBS modifier allows you to maintain work at negative temperatures, but some conditions must be observed:

1. Tiles before laying is stored in the warm room 2-3 days.
2. For better decisions of the adhesive layer, the tile warms up a construction hairdryer, in extreme cases, the thermopystole is lined.
3. All metal elements requiring bend are bent only in the warm room.

Bituminous glue for work It is necessary to warm in a water bath (to breed it with acetone and other additives is strictly prohibited).

Myth number 7: the need for additional spending due to a solid foundation

In fact, a solid foundation is a constructive feature of the roof of flexible tiles.

As for the home, the foundation and the roof is necessary, for example, from natural tile - a powerful doom and enhanced lines, a competent ventilation is necessary for the correct functioning of the undercase. Neglect these requirements, perceive them as an extra weight of money, at least incorrectly. Each material has its own mandatory conditions, without which its application is impossible.

We hope that your choice of roofing material will be based on convincing facts, and not on the misconceptions of the majority.

List of typical errors and often emerging problems when installing flexible tiles

1. Laying the bituminous tiles on the roof with a slope less than the maximum permissible

For such cases, the frequent occurrence of leaks is characteristic. They occur due to increased rain and wind load on the joints of the shots.

2. Length of roofing nails less than the thickness of the wooden base

Short nails, who have not pierced through the boardwalk, gradually go out from the natural deformation of wood under the action of humidity and temperature.

3. Fastening brackets

- Soft material, so some believe that it can be attached to the skate with a construction stapler. However, this tool is not suitable for this operation. The depth and uniformity of knocking out the bracket will depend on the hardness and homogeneity of the layers of wood, which can differ significantly in different sections. Because of this, according to the experience of engineers of the company "Stroimmet", it is impossible to ensure a dense, uniform fitting of the tiles to the base.

4. Low ventilation level of underpants

The accumulation of water vapor and the formation of condensate on wooden and metal structures leads to their gradual destruction.

5. Absence of vaporizolation

It becomes the cause of moisture in and other elements of roofing pie, significantly worsening their operational characteristics.

6. Laying of a continuous foundation is made without gaps

Due to the swelling of the wood in crude weather, the surface of the floor becomes uneven, may be damaged. At the same time, not only the level of tightness of the flexible tile and roof is reduced as a whole, but also the appearance of the roof is worse.

7. The shings are not glued to the lining carpet or the carpet of Endov

It becomes the cause of serious leaks of flexible tiles during the rains and during the melting period.

8. A continuous base is made of boards or sheet materials of insufficient thickness. There are no supports under the shellas of the boards

On the Skate it is dangerous to move, the foundation may not withstand the weight of workers carrying out the installation of flexible tiles, as well as snow load.

9. Exact adjoint adjoining to vertical elements (for example, chimney pipes)

Lead to a regular leakage occurrence.

10. Raches tiles are fixed by roofing nails at the top edge

Because of this, fasteners do not fall into the previous genth below. The junction area becomes especially vulnerable to wind load.

Common misconceptions when installing a soft roof

• Roofing nails should not punch a wooden base through.
• A solid base should be mounted without gaps.
• For normal ventilation of the underpantry space, it is enough for slits in the cornice zone.
• The use of vapor insulation materials when installing a soft roof is not mandatory.
• Soft roof can be used on roofs with any slope slope.

All listed statements will be erroneous!

In the process of operation of the soft roof on its surface, bloating of various diameters may occur. The cause of their formation is the violation of the technology of installation of a soft roof in terms of vapor insulation. This may be lack of vapor barrier or its irregular laying when installing the roof. The heat flux that rises from the premises upwards in the direction of the roof carries a significant amount of moisture. During the passage of roofing cake, it condenses and accumulates in the interval between roofing materials and their substrate. In the winter period, this moisture froze repeatedly and thaws, which leads to a bundle of a soft roof and its gradual destruction. In the warm season, moisture is transformed into hot steam and increases its volume to 40 times. For this reason, a swift with a diameter of more than one meter can be formed on the surface of the soft roof.

To eliminate blinks, they are cut in the form of an envelope, and the angles turn off and carefully dry the contents. The inner and outdoor side of the angles are purified from sticking dirt and moisture. After that, they are lubricated with special mastic and glued back to the roof surface. From above of the damaged area, the patch is fixed, the size of which must overlap the places of the cuts at a distance of at least 100 mm. The edges of the patchplane are applied, and the top is carefully treated with mastic. If the soft roof has been made of the materials, then you can refuse to use mastic. In this case, all gluing operations are carried out using a soldering lamp or gas burner.

The repair of the roof in Moscow is similarly carried out by most construction companies that have extensive experience in this area and qualified personnel.

The standard set of tasks of this man, as is known, includes three items: give birth to a son, plant a tree and build a house. And today among representatives of a strong sex, regardless of the profession and status, many those who seek to literally embody them. Especially easy to use modern materials and technologies make it possible to successfully lead work on the construction and repair of a country house. For example, it is possible to achieve guaranteed reliability and durability of the pitched roof, thanks to the use of a lining carpet. It forms a solid waterproofing layer along which the moisture penetrates into the underfloor space simply flows, without harming the design.

Now this progressive specialized material is produced in Russia. Anderep Corporation Tekhtonikol's lining carpets successfully compete in foreign markets and make quality for Russian consumers independent of imports. With their installation, the unprofessional builder may well cope. However, there are a number of nuances, neglect which is fraught with a decrease in efficiency. About them - below.

Preparation of the foundation and conditions of installation

The successful functioning of the lining carpet and the finish coating depends largely on competently prepared bases and conditions in which installation was carried out. Therefore, it is extremely important to prevent errors at these stages. Founding plates -PH, or moisture-resistant Phaneur need to lay no more than 3 mm with a gap. Otherwise, in the process of temperature expansion, the surface may be deformed, irregularities will be created on the lining carpet, and the roof will lose at least in aesthetic appeal. Installation of wet bases or "spring installation" can also be brought to the formation of wave-like folds on the surface or "Spring installation". For the winter design, moisture is inevitably gaining, and at positive temperatures begin to give it. The expert recommends avoiding the rush and start laying the material only when the framework of the building and the mounted surface will be in one temperature mode and in the permissible humidity. For the crate designs, the permissible moisture is no more than 20%, for solid wooden flooring (OSP and moisture resistant plywood) - no more than 12%.

Folding and waves on lining carpet can also occur if its installation is produced in different temperature and time frames. For example, a brigade can start working in the evening when the air temperature decreases and the material is hardening. At such a time, even small folds on the material will be invisible. In the morning, with increasing temperature, the lining carpet will softened, it will begin to fit tightly to the surface, and the neurosis allowed will gather in large folds. So that this does not happen, the installation of the lining carpet must be carried out in one temperature mode when it is maximum softness and advantage, that is, during the day and at one time of year.

Correct lining carpet

The need for a lining carpet today understands many. But it is important not just to put a lining carpet, but to choose a solution that is most suitable for a particular construction task. A common mistake is a replacement of specialized foods with cheap roofing materials, most often on the rubberoid. Savings in this case turns out very dubious. The strength characteristics of the runneroid below. Unlike the lining carvers, it does not have the function of "self-defense". A huge number of holes formed in the process of mechanical fasteners of its self and roofing material and increased in the process, for example, seasonal deformations, turn such a coating in the "solido". The moisture that fell into the underfloor space almost probably falls on a wooden base and can lead to its rotting and destruction. Lining carpets, unlike rubberoid, create a solid protective layer even on the surfaces of complex geometry. But among them it is important to pick up suitable. For example, any product of the Anderep line is suitable for flexible tile. But the use of specially intended for flexible tiles of economical lining rows Anderep GL and Anderep GL Plus with other roofing materials - metal sheets, ceramic tiles, etc. fraught with problems.

To do this, it is better to choose the universal ultralight lining carpets Anderep Prof and Anderep Prof Plus, and in the places of the most likely leakage roofs of flexible tiles and tiles it is recommended to use Anderep Ultra.

Anderep GL and Anderep GL Plus are based on glassball. It gives the necessary strength, but does not have resistance to stretching, respectively, materials based on it poorly withstand deformations. For higher loads, Anderep Prof, Anderep Prof Plus and Anderep Ultra are suitable for higher loads, which are based on a solid and capable polyester stretching.

Installation of "Selflessness" and Lining Carpets with Mechanical Fastening

Simple and optimal solution for installation is self-adhesive lining carpets, such as Anderep Ultra. For their attachment, you just need to remove the protective film and roll the material to the base. It fits tightly to the surface without forming aircraft. But in working with self-adhesive materials it is extremely important to comply with several conditions. The material must be laid on the maximum dry and clean surface. And the air temperature during work should be no lower than + 10˚C. In addition, in places of elevated loads, for example, in the Undova zone, you must additionally apply a mechanical mount.

The use of lining carpets with mechanical fastening is most common. This method of installation is practical and easy. However, it is extremely important to correctly calculate the required amount of fasteners - if you do not comply with the norm, with strong wind gusts, the risk of separation of the material from the surface will occur. Overalls of material canvases necessarily need to fasten with special roofing mastic. This is a rather laborious process. This year, Tekhnonikol has released modernized Anderep GL Plus and Anderep Prof Plus to the market. Unlike its "older brothers" (Anderep GL and Anderep PROF, respectively), they are equipped with special adhesive (desertless) stripes -for to fasten the canvas, it is only necessary to remove the protective film and glue the following web to the adhesive surface. The use of such materials reduces the consumption of mastic, makes the installation less time consuming and increases the reliability of the joints.

When installing any lining carpet is extremely important to ensure its maximum tension and fit to the surface. Therefore, the installation should be started after the material rolled out of the roll fully plans. The behavior of lining carpets on the roof depends largely on their base. In case of non-compliance with the moisture requirements used in the construction of wood on materials with the base of the glass cholester in the zones of the base junctions, folds may form. So that such a problem does not arise, it is necessary to reduce the fastening step to the base and provide additional mechanical fasteners in the middle, in several rows. Super-thin lining carpets with polyester are flexible and when the folds occur simply, it is simply frozen, without allowing the material to reconcile the roofing surface. But, accordingly, the price is more expensive.

Timely protection of lining carpet

Lining carpets are designed for styling under the finish coating. The bitumen mixture without special protection is not calculated for the prolonged effect of ultraviolet. Sand sprinkle on the material is intended only to ensure safe movement of a person who manufactures installation. Without the finish coating, such a material is desirable to leave no more than a week. But Anderep GL Plus, Anderep Prof, Anderep Prof Plus and Anderep Ultra, will not lose their properties under direct environmental impact over six months.

When installing the roof, for various reasons, interruptions may occur. A number of lining carpets may effectively perform the functions of a temporary roof for a sufficiently long period. Materials Anderep GL Plus, Anderep Prof, Anderep Prof Plus This ability gives a protective coating with nonwoven polypropylene (Spunbond), and Anderep Ultra-enhanced content of high-quality modifiers contained in the bitumen mixture.

Alexey Vorobiev

Thus, the correct selection of a lining carpet and a clear adherence of the manufacturer's instructions will allow those who are all used to doing themselves, to ensure reliable and durable protecting the pitched roof of the house.
