Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS)

The main elements for ensuring normal temperature and humidity conditions of the roof are vapor barrier, insulation of the required thickness (depending on the region), windproofing material, and a ventilated under-roof space.

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

If the roofing installation is carried out at temperatures below +5° C, the packages with tiles must be kept in a warm room before installation. The self-adhesive layer of material must be heated using a heat (construction) hair dryer.

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

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

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

Materials used

SHINGLAS flexible tiles differ from similar products of others Russian manufacturers a wide range of colors and cutting shapes. Currently, there are about 50 different models of Shinglas flexible tiles on the domestic market.

Self-adhesive backing materials:

ANDEREP ULTRA – self-adhesive underlay carpet increased strength. High reliability of the material is achieved due to a durable polyester base and high-quality bitumen-polymer binder. Upper protective layer The lining carpet is made of fine-grained sand.
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 integrity waterproofing material in case of base deformation.

Lining materials with mechanical fixation:

ANDEREP PROF – has a durable polyester base and a non-slip polypropylene top coating. Thanks to a special bitumen-polymer mixture, the material can “self-heal”, that is, it maintains tightness in places where nails enter.
ANDEREP GL is a lining material with double-sided protection of the polymer mixture by layers of fine-grained sand.

TechnoNIKOL valley carpet

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

Junction strips, cornice and gable overhangs

Metal elements with a special protective (anti-corrosion) coating.

Roofing nails

Special galvanized nails are used. The diameter of the nail stem is from 3 mm, the head is from 9 mm, length is 25-30 mm.

TechnoNIKOL mastic No. 23 (FIXER)

Bitumen-polymer mastic for gluing flexible tiles and other bitumen-based materials to various surfaces.

Ventilation elements TechnoNIKOL

Elements for equipping the required number of supply and exhaust openings to provide under-roof ventilation.

Roofing material consumption

Roof tiles. Each package of Shinglas soft roofing series “Country” and “Jazz” contains a quantity of tiles sufficient to cover 2 m 2 of roofing (including overlaps). In flexible packaging Shinglas tiles- for 3 m 2 of roof. 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 of bituminous shingles with cutting shapes “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Dragon Tooth” together with ridge-eaves tiles is up to 5%. For the rest of the tiles, when calculating the amount of material, waste should be taken into account at the level of 10-15% (including 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 roofing.

TechnoNIKOL mastic No. 23 (FIXER). For the valley carpet, 400 g of mastic per 1 line of space is consumed, for the end parts - 100 g per 1 line of space, for sealing the junctions - about 750 g per 1 line of space. Do not dilute the mastic with solvents and apply it in a thicker layer 1 mm, this can lead to leaks and swelling of the material.

Preparing the roofing base for installation

1. Installation of flooring under flexible tiles

Quite strict requirements are imposed on the base for soft tiles. It must be rigid, continuous and even (differences in height of no more than 1-2 mm are allowed). The large-panel flooring is laid with staggered seams; self-tapping screws or rough nails are used to secure it. When installing wooden flooring, you need to pay attention to fragments of annual rings and lay the material so that their bulges face down. If the installation of a base made of OSB-3 or plywood is carried out in the cold season, a gap of 3 mm wide should be left between the sheets. This will avoid deformation of the flooring during thermal expansion of the material in the summer.

Before installing the boardwalk, you must first sort the boards by thickness. They are laid so that the thickness of the base changes gradually. In this case, thicker boards are laid closer to the eaves, and thinner ones are laid near the ridge. The joints of the boards must be located on supports; in these places the boards are fixed with at least 4 nails. If damp wood is used, the boards are secured with 2 screws on each side.

2. Gain eaves overhang

To strengthen the eaves overhang, metal eaves strips are used. These elements protect roofing material in the cornice zone from the effects of precipitation. The eaves strips are attached to the edge of the solid base with roofing nails. The nails are driven in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 12-15 cm from each other. The planks are laid overlapping, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm. In places where there are overlaps, nails are driven in increments of 2-3 cm.

3. Installation of underlay carpet

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

On eaves overhangs, the width of the self-adhesive underlayment should be 60 cm greater than the width of the eaves overhang. The width of the cornice overhang is measured from the plane inside the outer wall of the building, as shown in the figure. The bottom edge of the carpet should be 2-3 cm above the rib cornice strip.

A self-adhesive lining carpet 1 m wide is laid in the valleys (each slope is covered by 50 cm). It is desirable that the carpet be continuous along the entire length of the valley. If two or more sheets are used, they are laid overlapping. The width of the overlaps should be 30 cm, the seams should be carefully taped.

Underlay material with mechanical fixation ANDEREP or other similar material is installed on the remaining surface of the roof. The canvases are laid parallel to the eaves overhang. Installation of the underlayment begins from the bottom of the roof slope and gradually moves up to the ridge. The width of the overlaps in the longitudinal direction should be 10 cm. An exception is organic-based lining materials (for example, 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 with a slope slope of more than 30° - 10 cm. The overlaps of the sheets in the transverse direction are made 15 cm wide.

The underlay carpet is secured with galvanized nails with wide heads; the nails are driven in at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. Overlapping areas 8-10 cm wide are coated with TechnoNIKOL No. 23 mastic.

Note. When installing SHINGLAS flexible tiles with cutting shapes “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Trio”, “Beavertail”, it is allowed to install 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 eaves overhangs up to 60 cm above the plane of the inner surface of the walls, see figure), 1 m wide in the valleys, 50 cm along the perimeter of the roof windows and 1x1 m around the passage elements. The terms and conditions of the warranty change and become similar to those for products from other manufacturers. The climate in different regions of Russia is significantly different, so this note does not apply to all regions, but only to the Central Federal District, Southern Federal District, Volga Federal District, Northwestern Federal District and Northwestern Federal District.

4. Strengthening 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 driven in a checkerboard pattern. The end strips are laid with an overlap, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm, in these places the nails are driven in every 2-3 cm. When installing a Shinglas soft roof, the gable strips are coated with mastic and the upper corners of the outer shingles are cut off.

5. Preparing the valley

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

Along the axis of the valley (1) on top of the self-adhesive lining material (2) a TechnoNIKOL valley carpet (3) is laid with a horizontal offset of 2-3 cm. On the bottom side, the valley carpet is coated around the perimeter 10 cm from the edge bitumen mastic TechnoNIKOL. When using the open method of constructing a valley, the valley carpet can be replaced with a metal strip with an anti-corrosion coating. This replacement is appropriate for regions with hot climates. The valley carpet (or metal strip) is secured with roofing nails; they are driven in at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge of the material in increments of 20-25 cm. It is advisable to lay a continuous (without overlaps) valley carpet along the entire length of the valley. If this is not possible, parts of the carpet are laid overlapping. The overlaps are made 30 cm wide; the material in these places must be carefully glued.

When installing a valley using the “cutting” method, there is no need to install a valley carpet.

6. Marking the roof slope

The markings are guide lines that, when laying soft tiles, help to align them vertically and horizontally. This is especially true in the case of incorrect geometry of the roof slope and the presence of any structures embedded in the roof. Vertical lines are applied in increments equal to the width of the shingles of ordinary tiles. 5 rows of material should be placed between the horizontal lines, so they are applied approximately 80 cm from one another. It should be remembered that the markings only serve as a guide and are not a guide for fixing the bitumen roof.

Installation of soft roofing Shinglas

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

If Shinglas will be installed at low temperatures (below +5°C), the packages must be placed in the oven for at least 24 hours in advance. warm room(+20°C). From there, several packages are served immediately before work begins. The self-adhesive strip on the tiles should be heated using a heat (construction) hair dryer.

When working on the roof, the material should be cut on a supported board so as not to damage the underlying roof covering.

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 using special manholes.

2. Rules for fixing ordinary tiles

Each shingle is secured to the base with galvanized nails with wide heads. The number of fasteners depends on the angle of inclination of the roof slope. For a slope of up to 45°, each shingle is nailed with four nails; for slopes greater than 45°, with six nails. The nails should be positioned evenly and driven in so that the heads do not cut into the surface of the soft roof, but are in the same plane with it (see figure).

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

3. Starting line

For the starting strip, use universal ridge-eaves tiles or shingles of ordinary soft tiles with cut petals.

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

When installing flexible Shinglas tiles with cutting shapes “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 must be coated with TechnoNIKOL mastic. Patterns from ordinary tiles are mounted in the same way as ridge-eaves tiles.

The starting strip for sheets with the “Dragon Tooth” cutting shape is made from ordinary tile shingles; there is no need to cut them. Their installation is carried out similarly to ridge-eaves tiles.

4. Laying the first, second and then next rows roof tiles

On long roof slopes, it is recommended to start laying the material from the middle of the slope, this will make it easier to level it horizontally. 1-2 cm are retreated from the initial (central) strip and the first shingle is installed (see figure). In this case, you should pay attention to the fact that the joint of the shingles of the first row does not coincide with the joint of the elements of the starting strip.

Installation must be done in diagonal stripes (see figure).

Depending on the cutting shape, the soft roof can be laid in diagonal strips, in the form of a pyramid or a vertical strip (see pictures). The shingles of the second row begin to be laid from the middle of the slope, with a horizontal shift in any direction by half a blade relative to the shingles of the first row. In this case, the lower edge of the tabs of the second row of shingles should be located at the level of the upper edge of the cutouts on the shingles of the first row.

The sheets of the third row are mounted offset by half a blade relative to the shingles of the second row in the same direction as when laying the previous row.

It is recommended to coat the outer shingles of ordinary tiles in places where there is no adhesive layer with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic to a width of 10 cm from the edge of the roof. Their upper corners are cut by 2-3 cm for more efficient water removal.

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

5. Valley device

In the valley area, ordinary tiles are mounted on top of the valley carpet on two roof slopes (see figure). Each shingle suitable for the valley is additionally secured in the upper part with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). Then, using laces, beat off two lines (3). The ordinary tiles are cut along these lines, having first placed a board under them so as not to damage the valley carpet. The upper corners of the shingles approaching line 3 are trimmed to remove water (4). On the bottom side in places where there is no adhesive layer bitumen roof coat 10 cm from the cutting line with TechnoNIKOL 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 range 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. When the water flow from the slopes is significantly different, to prevent water from washing away the roofing material, the valley gutter is shifted towards a smaller water flow.

When installing a valley using the “cutting” method, first the shingles and levels are laid on a slope that has a smaller slope angle (see figure). In this case, sheets of ordinary tiles must extend onto the steeper slope by at least 30 cm. In the upper part, each shingle is additionally secured 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, tiles are laid on the second slope. On a steeper roof slope, at a distance of 7-8 cm from the valley axis, mark a line (3). Along this line, sheets approaching the valley from a steeper slope are cut (it is recommended to adjust a board under it so as not to damage the underlying material). The upper corners of the outer shingles are cut to remove water (4). On the bottom side, in places where there is no adhesive layer, these shingles are coated to a width of 10 cm with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic (5).

6. Arrangement of ribs of slopes and skates

When applying this method, ridge-eaves tiles are used. It is first divided into three parts by perforation. Ridge-eaves tiles are used when installing soft roofing Shinglas “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Dragon Tooth”.

Edge. The shingles facing the edge are cut so that there is a gap of 0.5 cm wide between the tiles from adjacent slopes. Using laces, two approximate lines are beaten along the edge. Lay flexible tiles on the edge in the direction from bottom to top. The elements are mounted with an overlap, the overlaps should be 3-5 cm wide. The Euromet company recommends securing each shingle with four nails (2 on each side) so that the top one covers the fasteners of the underlying one.

Horse. The soft roofing on the ridge begins to be laid on 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 flexible tiles with cutting shapes “Trio”, “Sonata”, “Dragon Tooth”, “Beaver Tail”, elements for covering the ridge and ribs can be cut from shingles of ordinary tiles. For the “Sonata” cut shape, it will be visible top part, and the one being closed is the lower one (see fig.)

On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the elements are coated with TechnoNIKOL mastic before installation. Covering the ridges and ribs with patterns from ordinary tiles is carried out in the same way as with ridge-eaves tiles.

Important: When installing soft roofing Shinglas series “Country”, “Classic”, “Jazz”, “Finnish tile” in conditions of 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 SHINGLAS flexible tiles on curved surfaces (domes, cones)

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

Installation of Shinglas on a dome or cone surface using a segmental method involves dividing it into segments. The size of the segments depends on the size and shape of the surface to be covered. The lines are broken off using laces. Mounted on each segment ordinary tiles, and at the joints between them - ridge tiles (similar to the ridge and ribs of the roof). The width of the ridge tiles must also correspond to the dimensions of the surface to be covered.

1) Metal tip (installed after installing the shingles);

2) vertical trim lines (slope marking);

3) a whole petal of tiles;

4) 1/2 petal of tile;

5) ANDEREP underlay carpet.

When laying tiles using the seamless method, special attention must be paid to marking the surface (see figure). First, marks are made on its base with chalk in increments equal to half the petal of the tile used. From these marks on the backing carpet (5), lines are drawn to the top of the surface to be covered (the lines are connected at the top). Ordinary tiles are cut into individual petals, and the first row is assembled from them. The next row is shifted by half a petal relative to the previous row. The material for it is cut in accordance with the marked 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

To bend the materials more smoothly, a triangular shaped strip is nailed at the junction of the wall and the roof slope (see figure). It can be made from diagonally cut wooden beam with a cross section of 50x50 mm or use an ordinary wooden plinth. If the wall adjacent to the roof is brick, it is pre-plastered and primed. The shingles of ordinary tiles suitable for the abutment are placed on a nailed strip. Strips with a width of at least 50 cm are cut out of the TechnoNIKOL valley carpet. On the bottom side, they are treated with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic over the entire surface and laid on top of the tiles. The valley carpet strips are positioned so that they extend onto the wall by at least 30 cm (and in regions with heavy snow loads even higher). The upper edge of the junction material is inserted into the groove and pressed with a metal apron. The structure is fixed mechanically and sealed using polyurethane, thiokol or silicone sealant.

Method for sealing joints between roofing and ventilation pipes and chimneys are shown in the figure. From a valley carpet or metal sheet with anti-corrosion coating They make patterns, cut them and bend them in the indicated places. First, install the face pattern on top of the regular shingles that fit the pipe. Then the side and lastly the back patterns are laid. They are placed under shingles of material. A gutter 80 mm wide is made on the back and sides. The upper corners of the soft roof shingles that fit the pipe are cut to allow water to drain away. The underside of these shingles, in places where there is no adhesive layer, is coated with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic to a width of 10 cm.

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

If the bottom of the roof slope is adjacent to the wall, a metal storm barrier is installed at the end of it (see figure).

9. Pass-through elements

For sealing places where communication pipes, antennas, etc. pass through the roof. use special passage elements (see figure). The passage element is secured mechanically (with nail connections). The shingles of ordinary bitumen tiles are laid on it, they are cut and fixed to the flange with TechnoNIKOL No. 23 FIXER mastic. A suitable roof outlet is then installed on the penetration element.

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

For a more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the roof outlet, you can install a cap on it without internal cuts (see figure). In addition to its decorative function, it helps prevent precipitation and leaves from entering the pipe.

Roof care

In spring and autumn, it is necessary to inspect the roof to check its condition and timely identify defects.
It is recommended to remove leaves and small debris from the roofing with a soft-bristled brush. Do not use sharp tools, as this may damage the tiles.
Objects with sharp edges are removed from the roof by hand.
Drains, gutters and pipes should be checked periodically and, if necessary, cleared of debris.
In case of accumulation on the roof large quantity The snow is removed in layers with a non-sharp shovel. At the same time, a layer of snow approximately 10 cm thick is left to protect the roofing.
From time to time, Euromet specialists recommend checking the condition (and, if necessary, repairing) metal parts, mounting holes, openings and other elements located on the roof.

Roof repair from flexible Shinglas tiles

SHINGLAS bituminous shingles are a repairable roofing material. If there are minor defects in the roofing covering, local repairs can be carried out independently. It is important to identify and, if possible, eliminate the causes of material damage. This could be, for example, installation errors, abrasions from nearby tree branches, the presence of depressions in which water stagnates, etc.

Installation of soft tiles Shinglas - special installation technology and secrets for roof care

In Shingles' homeland, the USA, this roofing material is #1 in popularity among individual developers.

Behind for a short time Shingles has gained fame, thanks to the quality and ease of installation, the demand for the material is constantly growing.

In this article we will look at detailed instructions for installation Shinglas flexible tiles, and also pay attention to recommendations for roof care. You can read about other types of soft roofing by following the link.

What is Shingles

Shingles flexible tiles bituminous multilayer material modular size, consists of three components: fiberglass, bitumen composition and basalt granulate. In production, two or more layers of material are sintered together, shingles are cut, laid into commodity bundles, and packaged in film.

Fiberglass provides strength, it is durable and does not corrode, does not require treatment with fungicides, and is not subject to rotting. The improved bitumen composition has increased heat resistance, which allows use the material in all climatic zones no limits.

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

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

All about the advantages

It’s not for nothing that developers value this material. Over more than a century of operation of Shingles roofs, everything has become known about the advantages:

Durability;
Atmospheric, bio- and chemical resistance;
Physical characteristics;
Easy installation of shinglas roofing;
Excellent waterproofing properties;
Economical;
Environmental friendliness;
Aesthetics.

Easy installation provide physical characteristics: flexibility, low volumetric weight, convenient size to use.

Economical give a low price in comparison with analogues and convenient size, thanks to which waste is reduced to a minimum.

Environmental friendliness achieved by the possibility of recycling and the absence of impact on the ecosystem.

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

Flexible tiles Shinglas

A little about the disadvantages

The disadvantages include:

narrow installation temperature corridor: from +5 to +27° C: with more low temperatures Before installation, the tiles must be heated to 20° C; at higher temperatures, they cannot be loaded to avoid loss of shape;
It is advisable not to walk on the finished coating;
the roof slope angle for laying Shingles is limited – from 12 to 40°.

Shingles Specifications

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

Installation of Shinglas - preparing tools

For high-quality styling except Shingles tools needed:

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

Lining material ANDEREP;
TECHNONICOL mastic No. 23 (FIXER);
Vapor barrier;
Galvanized nails;
Ventilation systems – aerators, exits, passage elements;
Drainage system;
Cornice strips, end strips, abutments.

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, and the height of the house.

Preparatory work

Roof base - truss structure - calculated in accordance with the snow load in climatic zone, span and roof angle specified by the house design. To profile load-bearing elements the type of system also affects: hanging rafters; resting on a mauerlat or structure with a central support and struts.

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

It’s a little easier with lathing, its step is taken constructively to be 35 cm, the profile is also calculated by a calculator. The lathing is necessary for ventilation of the under-roof space. Between the rafters and the sheathing we lay a vapor barrier material, which will prevent condensation from accessing the solid flooring– base for installation of tiles. Read about the soft roof pie here.

Extending above roof level vertical surfaces made of brick or concrete(e.g. chimneys) need to be plastered and coated with primer before installing a continuous flooring.

Flooring can be made from various materials - edged boards, moisture-resistant plywood or chipboard, fiberboard, OSB-3. The slabs must be laid staggered (with offset seams), leaving a gap of 3-4 mm at the joints for thermal expansion of the material. Boards should have a moisture content of no more than 15-18%. Orient the annual rings with the convex part down.

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

P On the flooring we place a self-adhesive underlayment in the valleys and on the eaves 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.

Along the lining carpet, we reinforce the gable overhangs with special metal strips; their fastening is similar to the cornice strips.

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

Preliminary work ends with marking horizontal and vertical lines on the slope, making it easier to lay the covering layer.

Shinglas: installation instructions

Before laying the top coat, mix 5-6 packs of Shingles to obtain a more uniform color transition. The technology for laying soft shingles tiles is quite simple:

We start laying from the middle of the longest slope and work from the bottom up. As a cornice we use a special ridge-cornice shingle, or cut ordinary shingles.
Glue the bottom shingles onto the underlayment with a distance of 10-20 mm from the bend of the cornice strip and fasten with nails.

Installation of Shinglas flexible tiles

A roof made of Shinglas flexible bitumen tiles 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 the climatic conditions of the area where the building is 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 soft roofing in different packages may vary slightly. To ensure that these differences on the finished roof are invisible, Westmet specialists recommend mixing sheets of tiles from several packages during the installation process, and laying them diagonally.

Installation of Shinglas at low air temperatures is allowed, but in this case several additional rules must be followed. 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. Adhesive strip on shingles in this weather should be heated with construction hair dryer(with more high temperature it does not need heating).

If there is a need to cut tiles directly on the roof, then under no circumstances should this be done on the installed covering. 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 protective film, which will complicate installation in the future.

Pallets with soft Shinglas roofing should never be stacked on top of each other.

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

Important: to avoid leaving stains on the SHINGLAS roofing covering in clear and hot weather, as well as at low temperatures and high humidity air is not advisable to walk on already installed tiles. To move on the roof, you need to leave holes through which you can get to to the right place stingray

Necessary materials

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

Self-adhesive materials ANDEREP:

ANDEREP ULTRA - lining waterproofing material of increased strength. Manufactured on a polyester base with a mineral coating. A fine-grain coating on the outer surface (sand coating) provides additional protection. This underlayment is most effective when using Shinglas bituminous shingles.
ANDEREP BARRIER is a lightweight sand-coated polyester waterproofing material. Used as additional protection soft roof against leaks in those places where they are most likely.

ANDEREP materials with mechanical fastening:

ANDEREP PROF is an especially lightweight rolled material that can be used in combination with both flexible tiles and other types of coverings for pitched roofs. 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 a lining waterproofing material for roofs covered with bituminous tiles. The fiberglass base is covered with sand on the outside and inside. Special strips in places of longitudinal overlaps acquire adhesive properties when heated, so when connecting adjacent sheets of the lining carpet there is no need to use special mastic.

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

Cornice, gable overhangs and abutment strips

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

Fasteners - roofing nails

To fix bitumen shingles, special galvanized (galvanized) roofing nails are used. Their length ranges from 3 to 4.5 centimeters, the shaft diameter is from 3 millimeters, and the cap diameter is at least 9 mm.

Bitumen-polymer mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

It is used for gluing lining materials and roofing elements. cold mastic FIXER from TechnoNIKOL on a bitumen-polymer basis.

Roof ventilation TechnoNIKOL

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

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

Consumption of flexible tiles

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 - 2 sq.m, and for the Western and Continent series - 1.5 sq.m. The norm for all other Shinglas collections is 3 sq.m per package. All figures are based on area finished roof(that is, taking into account all overlaps when laying the roofing).

On roofs with complex configurations, material consumption increases. In addition, you should keep in mind the waste coefficient, which depends on the cutting shape of the flexible tiles. Cutting such as Sonata, Dragon Tooth or Accord involves no more than 5% waste. With other forms of cutting, the waste rate increases to 10-15%. This is explained by the need to construct starting strips and design ridges and roof ridges.

For every square meter of roof, approximately 80 g of fasteners (galvanized nails) are required.

Consumption of TechnoNIKOL mastic (FIXER):

Gluing overlaps of lining materials without self-adhesive strips requires about 100 g of FIXER mastic per linear meter.

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

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

Mastic should be applied thin layer(no more than 1 mm) otherwise swelling may appear in the gluing areas.

Preparing the base for the roof

SHINGLAS bituminous shingles are laid on a solid base, which can be made of boards, plywood, large-panel panels, or 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 seams staggered and fixed with self-tapping screws or special rough nails.

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

If the flooring is made of boards, then they should all 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 eaves of the roof, 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, the plank flooring for flexible tiles can also be made from damp wood. In this case, the boards are fixed at the edges with two self-tapping screws, and before installing the Shinglas, the flooring must dry.

Installation of curtain rods

To strengthen the eaves overhang of the roof, special eaves strips made of metal with a protective coating are used. 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 secured underlayment, and self-adhesive waterproofing materials in valleys, at eaves and in other places with an increased risk of leaks.

SHINGLAS is best suited for roofing waterproofing roll materials ANDEREP from the TechnoNIKOL company, however, other materials with similar properties can be used.

In the valley, the self-adhesive underlayment should 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. An alternative option is 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 wall line, as well as at least 60 centimeters up the slope. Waterproofing installed in this way allows you to avoid leaks near the eaves overhangs during sudden temperature fluctuations, melting snow on the roof, heavy precipitation and other problems with temperature and humidity in the under-roof space.

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

The underlay carpet, fixed mechanically, is mounted on the slope from the eaves to the ridge (that is, from bottom to top) 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 lining materials and their organic-based analogues 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. For a more significant slope of the slope, an overlap of 10 cm is sufficient.

During installation, sheets of lining material are rolled out parallel to the roof eaves and fixed to the continuous 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 overlap area in a layer 200-300 millimeters wide.

In areas with moderate temperature changes and relatively low levels of precipitation (Central, Northwestern, Volga, Southern and North Caucasus 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 install the lining carpet only around the perimeter of the roof (in stripes of 50 cm), along eaves overhangs and in valleys, as well as in other places where there is a high risk of leakage - for example, attic windows and through exits through the roof (ventilation shafts, chimneys, communications). However, this reduces the warranty period for the soft roof.

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

Gain gable overhang

To strengthen the gable overhang, metal gable end 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.

Adjacent 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 installing the tile sheets suitable for the gable, the end strip is coated with FIXER mastic, and the upper corner of the sheet is trimmed.

Preparing the valley

There are two methods for installing Shinglas roof tiles in a valley. Public method SHINGLAS styling requires the mandatory use of a carpet for the valley, and the cutting method allows you to do without it.

The TechnoNIKOL valley carpet is laid on top of a self-adhesive lining material that has already been installed in the valley during complete or partial waterproofing of the slopes (see the section “Installation of waterproofing materials” above). The carpet laying diagram 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. On the bottom side, the valley carpet must be coated with FIXER mastic, a layer 100 mm wide around the entire perimeter.

In addition to a special carpet, when using the open method of laying flexible tiles in the valley, you can use a steel sheet with a corrosion-resistant surface. 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 at intervals of 200-250 millimeters and a distance of 20-30 mm from the edge of the valley on each side.

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

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

Marking the slope

For correct installation It is recommended to apply shinglas to marking lines on the flooring that serves as the basis for flexible tiles. They perform a guiding function. The vertical lines are spaced from each other by the width of one sheet of tile, and the horizontal lines are spaced by five rows (see figure).

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

Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS

Tips for installing Shinglas

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

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

IN cold weather(at outside temperatures below 5-10 degrees) Shinglas must be stored in a warm place for at least 24 hours before installation. The room temperature should be no 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 be delivered to the roof only after the previous tiles have been laid.

Self-adhesive strips on asphalt shingles need to be warmed up in cold weather. A hair dryer is used for this purpose.

Fastening ordinary tiles

Fig. 12 (diagram of fastening sheets with nails)

Sheets of shingles on the slope are attached to the continuous decking with roofing nails that are resistant to corrosion. These nails with a wide head 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 should be exactly in line with the surface of the shingle (see top image in Figure 12).

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

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

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

Installation of the starting strip

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

Universal ridge-eaves tiles do not require cutting and are laid with the adhesive side down on top of the waterproofing lining material with a distance of 10-20 millimeters from the bend of the eaves strip. The longer the roof slope and the greater the angle of its inclination, the wider this indentation should be.

The starting strip for Shinglas with the cutting shape of Chord, Beaver Tail, Sonata or Trio is made from ordinary tile sheets, from which the petals are cut. On the bottom side, 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.

For a soft roof with Continent and Dragon Tooth cutting, the starting strip is made from shingles of ordinary tiles without cutting off the petals.

Laying the first and subsequent rows of Shinglas

It is recommended to lay soft roofing sheets starting from the middle of the slope. This makes it easier to level the shingles, especially on long slopes. 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.

The next rows are laid from bottom to top diagonally.

Features of installation of ordinary tiles depending on the cut shape 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. Installation can be carried out from the center of the ramp 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.

In Fig. 16 shows an option for installing Shinglas flexible tiles from the middle of the slope in strips, and in Fig. 17 - in the shape of a pyramid.

During heavy rain or slanting rain, the risk of moisture leaks 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 meet the end strip must be trimmed as indicated above in Fig. 9. This is done to organize proper drainage of water from the roof.

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

Valley device

Open method of laying tiles in the valley

Ordinary sheets of soft roofing are mounted in a random order from the edge of the valley to its axis (Fig. 18, mark 1). The tiles are laid directly on the TechnoNIKOL valley waterproofing carpet or metal sheet and brought to the cutting line indicated in the figure by number 3.

In addition to the usual fixation, each roofing sheet is secured with additional nails on top. However, these nails cannot be driven closer than 300 millimeters from the valley axis (Fig. 18, 2).

When the tiles in the valley are laid, lines are drawn on its surface on both sides of the axis using coated trim, along which the excess tile shingles are cut off. When cutting tiles, be sure to lay down a board to avoid damage to the waterproofing in the valley.

Each sheet of soft roofing in the valley must be cut to remove 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, different volumes of water may flow into the valley from them. In this case, the valley gutter should be shifted to the side where the water flow is less. This displacement is compensated by erosion at the junction of the waterproofing carpet and the tile covering in the valley.

The valley gutter can have different widths - in the range from 50 to 150 millimeters. If the house is located in the forest or under the canopy 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 covering is mounted on the side of the slope with a smaller angle of inclination towards the axis of the valley and then overlapping onto the other slope. The width of the overlap is at least 300 millimeters from the center line towards the steeper slope.

The shingle in the valley is attached in the same way as with open method- additional nails on the top side of the sheets, but no closer than 30 centimeters from the center line (Fig. 19, marks 1 and 2).

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

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

Crossing slopes (ribs and ridge)

The roof slopes intersect at the top of the roof structure, forming a ridge. A roof of complex configuration may also have lateral intersections of slopes, which are usually called ribs. The installation of roof ridges and ridges is carried out in a similar way, but installation methods may differ depending on the SHINGLAS series and the cutting shape of the flexible tiles.

A number of SHINGLAS collections include universal ridge-eaves tiles. It can be divided along the perforation lines, obtaining individual elements for starting strips on eaves overhangs, for ridges 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 flexible tiles of the Accord, Western, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Continent types.

Edge. The shingles that overlap the rib on both sides must be trimmed so that there is a gap of 50 millimeters between them. Lines are drawn with coated padding 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 each sheet of ridge tiles secured 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 heads of the nails that secure the previous one.

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

For Beaver Tail, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Trio shingles, ridge shingles can be made from standard roofing sheets. The diagram for cutting and folding 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 other options.

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

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

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

Experts advise bending shingles of the Finnish Tile and Classic type using a heated metal pipe at an air temperature below plus 5 degrees.

Installation of Shinglas on conical and domed roofs

One of the advantages of a soft roof is the ability to install it on a roof with a curved surface without much difficulty.

There are two main options for installing Shinglas flexible tiles on roofs of this type.

The first of them is segmental. This method involves dividing a dome or conical roof into separate segments that can be covered with ordinary tiles. And between the segments, ridge tiles are laid - exactly the same as on the ridges of a regular roof.

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

Metal tip (installed after laying the roofing).
Marking the ramp.
A whole petal of flexible tiles.
Half a petal.
Lining waterproofing material.

According to Westmet engineers, the seamless method of installing flexible tiles 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 complex.

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

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

The next row is mounted with a shift of half a petal with trimming of the tiles when they go 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 with the number 4).

At the top, the cone or dome is covered with a metal cap (if necessary, it is possible to install decorative elements- depending on the wishes of the owner or the purpose of the public building).

Connection to vertical surfaces

The junction of the roof covering to the walls, chimneys and other vertical surfaces require special attention. Correct device connections reduces the risk of leaks in these vulnerable areas to zero.

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

In Fig. 22 triangular strip is marked with the number 1.

Shinglas shingles matching the joint are laid on top of the triangular strip.

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

The waterproofing carpet extends at least 30 centimeters onto the vertical surface. If the climatic conditions of the region suggest high level precipitation in winter (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 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 sealant.

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

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

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

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

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 specifically designed for this purpose.

Passage elements are attached to the base using roofing nails. Sheets of tiles are laid on top pass-through element, after which they are cut and attached to the flange with adhesive mastic. After this, you can install the roof outlet required in this location.

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

Non-insulated outlets are intended mainly for warm regions, as well as for buildings and structures that are used primarily in warm time of the year.

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

On the other hand, it is not advisable to equip exits intended for improved ventilation directly to the sewerage system itself with caps. During the cold season due to high humidity vapors in the hood can cause condensation to accumulate and freeze.

Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS)

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

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

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

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

Materials used

SHINGLAS flexible tiles differ from similar products from other Russian manufacturers in a wide range of colors and cut shapes. Currently, there are about 50 different models of Shinglas flexible tiles on the domestic market.

Self-adhesive backing materials:

ANDEREP ULTRA is a self-adhesive underlay carpet with increased strength. High reliability of the material is achieved due to a durable polyester base and high-quality bitumen-polymer binder. The top protective layer of the lining carpet is made of fine-grained sand.
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 the event of deformation of the base.

Lining materials with mechanical fixation:

ANDEREP PROF – has a durable polyester base and a non-slip polypropylene top coating. Thanks to a special bitumen-polymer mixture, the material can “self-heal”, that is, it maintains tightness in places where nails enter.
ANDEREP GL is a lining material with double-sided protection of the polymer mixture by layers of fine-grained sand.

TechnoNIKOL valley carpet

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

Junction strips, cornice and gable overhangs

Roofing material consumption

Roof tiles. Each package of Shinglas soft roofing series “Country” and “Jazz” contains a quantity of tiles sufficient to cover 2 m 2 of roofing (including overlaps). In packages of Shinglas flexible tiles - for 3 m 2 of roofing. 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 of bituminous shingles with cutting shapes “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Dragon Tooth” together with ridge-eaves tiles is up to 5%. For the rest of the tiles, when calculating the amount of material, waste should be taken into account at the level of 10-15% (including consumption for the starting strip, ridges and roof ribs).

Roofing nails. The required number of roofing nails is determined at the rate of approximately 80 g per 1 m 2 of roofing.

Preparing the roofing base for installation

1. Installation of flooring under flexible tiles

2. Strengthening the eaves overhang

To strengthen the eaves overhang, metal eaves strips are used. These elements protect the roofing material in the eaves area from the effects of precipitation. The eaves strips are attached to the edge of the solid base with roofing nails. The nails are driven in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 12-15 cm from each other. The planks are laid overlapping, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm. In places where there are overlaps, nails are driven in increments of 2-3 cm.

3. Installation of underlay carpet

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

4. Strengthening gable overhangs

5. Preparing the valley

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

Along the axis of the valley (1) on top of the self-adhesive lining material (2) a TechnoNIKOL valley carpet (3) is laid with a horizontal offset of 2-3 cm. On the bottom side, the valley carpet along the perimeter 10 cm from the edge is coated with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic. When using the open method of constructing a valley, the valley carpet can be replaced with a metal strip with an anti-corrosion coating. This replacement is appropriate for regions with hot climates. The valley carpet (or metal strip) is secured with roofing nails; they are driven in at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge of the material in increments of 20-25 cm. It is advisable to lay a continuous (without overlaps) valley carpet along the entire length of the valley. If this is not possible, parts of the carpet are laid overlapping. The overlaps are made 30 cm wide; the material in these places must be carefully glued.

When installing a valley using the “cutting” method, there is no need to install a valley carpet.

6. Marking the roof slope

Installation of soft roofing Shinglas

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

If Shinglas will be installed at low temperatures (below +5°C), the packaging must be placed in a warm room (+20°C) for at least a day in advance. From there, several packages are served immediately before work begins. The self-adhesive strip on the tiles should be heated using a heat (construction) hair dryer.

When working on the roof, the material should be cut on a supported board so as not to damage the underlying roof covering.

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 using special manholes.

2. Rules for fixing ordinary tiles

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

3. Starting line

For the starting strip, use universal ridge-eaves tiles or shingles of ordinary soft tiles with cut petals.

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

Installation must be done in diagonal stripes (see figure).

The sheets of the third row are mounted offset by half a blade relative to the shingles of the second row in the same direction as when laying the previous row.

5. Valley device

In the valley area, ordinary tiles are mounted on top of the valley carpet on two roof slopes (see figure). Each shingle suitable for the valley is additionally secured in the upper part with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). Then, using laces, beat off two lines (3). The ordinary tiles are cut along these lines, having first placed a board under them so as not to damage the valley carpet. The upper corners of the shingles approaching line 3 are trimmed to remove water (4). On the lower side, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the bitumen roof is coated 10 cm from the cutting line with TechnoNIKOL mastic (5).

6. Arrangement of ribs of slopes and skates

When using Shinglas flexible tiles with cutting shapes “Trio”, “Sonata”, “Dragon Tooth”, “Beaver Tail”, elements for covering the ridge and ribs can be cut from shingles of ordinary tiles. For the “Sonata” cutting shape, its upper part will be visible, and the lower part will be closed (see figure)

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

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

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

Installation of Shinglas on a dome or cone surface using a segmental method involves dividing it into segments. The size of the segments depends on the size and shape of the surface to be covered. The lines are broken off using laces. Row tiles are mounted on each segment, and ridge tiles are installed at the joints between them (similar to the ridge and ribs of the roof). The width of the ridge tiles must also correspond to the dimensions of the surface to be covered.

1) Metal tip (installed after installing the shingles);

2) vertical trim lines (slope marking);

3) a whole petal of tiles;

4) 1/2 petal of tile;

5) ANDEREP underlay carpet.

8. Connection device

To bend the materials more smoothly, a triangular shaped strip is nailed at the junction of the wall and the roof slope (see figure). It can be made from a wooden beam cut diagonally with a cross-section of 50x50 mm or use an ordinary wooden plinth. If the wall adjacent to the roof is brick, it is pre-plastered and primed. The shingles of ordinary tiles suitable for the abutment are placed on a nailed strip. Strips with a width of at least 50 cm are cut out of the TechnoNIKOL valley carpet. On the bottom side, they are treated with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic over the entire surface and laid on top of the tiles. The valley carpet strips are positioned so that they extend onto the wall by at least 30 cm (and in regions with heavy snow loads even higher). The upper edge of the junction material is inserted into the groove and pressed with a metal apron. The structure is secured mechanically and sealed using polyurethane, thiokol or silicone sealant.

The method of sealing the junction 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, install the face pattern on top of the regular shingles that fit the pipe. Then the side and lastly the back patterns are laid. They are placed under shingles of material. A gutter 80 mm wide is made on the back and sides. The upper corners of the soft roof shingles that fit the pipe are cut to allow water to drain away. The underside of these shingles, in places where there is no adhesive layer, is coated with TechnoNIKOL bitumen mastic to a width of 10 cm.

If the bottom of the roof slope is adjacent to the wall, a metal storm barrier is installed at the end of it (see figure).

9. Pass-through elements

Roof care

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

Installation of soft tiles Shinglas - special installation technology and secrets for roof care

In Shingles' homeland, the USA, this roofing material is #1 in popularity among individual developers.

In a short time, Shingles has gained fame; due to its quality and ease of installation, the demand for the material is constantly growing.

In this article we will look at detailed installation instructions Shinglas flexible tiles, and also pay attention to recommendations for roof care. You can read about other types of soft roofing by following the link.

What is Shingles

Shingles flexible tiles bitumen multilayer material modular size, consists of three components: fiberglass, bitumen composition and basalt granulate. In production, two or more layers of material are sintered together, shingles are cut, laid into commodity bundles, and packaged in film.

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

All about the advantages

It’s not for nothing that developers value this material. Over more than a century of operation of Shingles roofs, everything has become known about the advantages:

Durability;
Atmospheric, bio- and chemical resistance;
Physical characteristics;
Easy installation of shinglas roofing;
Excellent waterproofing properties;
Economical;
Environmental friendliness;
Aesthetics.

Easy installation provide physical characteristics: flexibility, low volumetric weight, convenient size to use.

Economical They offer a low price compared to analogues and a convenient size, thanks to which waste is reduced to a minimum.

Environmental friendliness achieved by the possibility of recycling and the absence of impact on the ecosystem.

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

A little about the disadvantages

The disadvantages include:

narrow installation temperature corridor: from +5 to +27° C: at lower temperatures, the tiles must be heated to 20° C before installation; at higher temperatures, they should not be loaded to avoid loss of shape;
It is advisable not to walk on the finished coating;
the roof slope angle for laying Shingles is limited – from 12 to 40°.

Installation of Shinglas - preparing tools

For high-quality styling except Shingles tools needed:

Lining material ANDEREP;
TECHNONICOL mastic No. 23 (FIXER);
Vapor barrier;
Galvanized nails;
Ventilation systems – aerators, exits, passage elements;
Drainage system;
Cornice strips, end strips, abutments.

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

Preparatory work

Roof base - truss structure- calculated in accordance with the snow load in the climatic zone, the span and the angle of inclination of the roof specified by the house design. The profile of the load-bearing elements is also influenced by the type of system: hanging rafters; resting on a mauerlat or structure with a central support and struts.

Extending above roof level vertical surfaces made of brick or concrete(e.g. chimneys) need to be plastered and coated with primer before installing a continuous flooring.

P On the flooring we place a self-adhesive underlayment in the valleys and on the eaves 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.

Along the lining carpet, we reinforce the gable overhangs with special metal strips; their fastening is similar to the cornice strips.

Preliminary work ends with marking horizontal and vertical lines on the slope, making it easier to lay the covering layer.

Shinglas: installation instructions

Before laying the top coat, mix 5-6 packs of Shingles to obtain a more uniform color transition. The technology for laying soft shingles tiles is quite simple:

We start laying from the middle of the longest slope and work from the bottom up. As a cornice we use a special ridge-cornice shingle, or cut ordinary shingles.
Glue the bottom shingles onto the underlayment with a distance of 10-20 mm from the bend of the cornice strip and fasten with nails.
We install subsequent rows diagonally.
We install special exit penetrations communications, aerators and ventilation, chimneys.
We nail a triangular strip along the perimeter of the vertical surfaces and glue strips 500 mm wide cut from valley material onto the mastic(300 for the wall, 200 for the roof), we put the edge of the strip into a fine and protect it with a metal apron.
Attaching the ridge element, made from ordinary tiles and bent on a heated metal pipe Ø10 cm, nailing each with 4 nails.

Laying Shinglas tiles

A recipe for longevity

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

Twice a year carry out an inspection surfaces, joints and junctions;
Cleanse use a soft brush to remove fallen leaves and debris;
Manually remove garbage with sharp edges;
Clean drains and gutters;
Snow removal with a wooden or plastic shovel in layers, leaving about 10 cm of snow for protection;
If necessary, carry out minor repairs. You can read about roof repairs in winter by following this link.

Installation of Shinglas and do-it-yourself technology for laying Shinglas soft tiles

This article is devoted to Shinglas soft tiles, in which we will examine in detail the technology of laying flexible tiles, and also consider detailed instructions for installing Rancho soft roofing on the roof.

Installation of Shinglas flexible tiles

A roof made of flexible Shinglas bitumen tiles 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 water vapor barrier and insulation that corresponds to the climatic conditions of the area where the building is 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 soft roofing in different packages may vary slightly. To ensure that these differences are invisible on the finished roof, Westmet specialists recommend mixing sheets of tiles from several packages during the installation process, and laying them diagonally.

Installation of Shinglas at low air temperatures is allowed, but in this case several additional rules must be followed. 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 shingles in such weather should be heated using a hair dryer (at higher temperatures it does not need heating).

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 complicate installation in the future.

Pallets with soft Shinglas roofing should never be stacked on top of each other.

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

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

Necessary materials

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

Self-adhesive materials ANDEREP:

ANDEREP ULTRA is a lining waterproofing material of increased strength. Manufactured on a polyester base with a mineral coating. A fine-grain coating on the outer surface (sand coating) provides additional protection. This underlayment is most effective when using Shinglas bituminous shingles.
ANDEREP BARRIER is a lightweight, sand-coated polyester waterproofing material. Used as additional protection of soft roofs from leaks in those places where they are most likely.

ANDEREP materials with mechanical fastening:

ANDEREP PROF is an especially lightweight rolled material that can be used in combination with both flexible tiles and other types of coverings for pitched roofs. 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 facilitates installation.
ANDEREP GL is a waterproofing lining material for roofs covered with bituminous shingles. The fiberglass base is covered with sand on the outside and inside. Special strips in places of longitudinal overlaps acquire adhesive properties when heated, so when connecting adjacent sheets of the lining carpet there is no need to use special mastic.

Cornice, gable overhangs and abutment strips

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, abutment strips, gable overhangs and cornice strips.

Fasteners - roofing nails

Bitumen-polymer mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

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

Roof ventilation TechnoNIKOL

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

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

Consumption of flexible tiles

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 - 2 sq.m, and for the Western and Continent series - 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 overlaps when laying the roofing).

For every square meter of roof, approximately 80 g of fasteners (galvanized nails) are required.

Consumption of TechnoNIKOL mastic (FIXER):

Gluing overlaps of lining materials without self-adhesive strips requires about 100 g of FIXER mastic per linear meter.

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

Gluing 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 gluing areas.

Preparing the base for the roof

SHINGLAS bituminous shingles are laid on a solid base, which can be made of boards, plywood, large-panel panels, or 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 seams staggered and fixed with self-tapping screws or special rough nails.

If boards of unequal thickness are used, then the thickest of them should be placed at the eaves of the roof, 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.

Installation of curtain rods

Installation of waterproofing materials

Rolled materials ANDEREP from the TechnoNIKOL company 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 should 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. An alternative option is installation with an overlap of 300 mm with reliable gluing of the seams.

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

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

Strengthening the gable overhang

Adjacent 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 installing the tile sheets suitable for the gable, the end strip is coated with FIXER mastic, and the upper corner of the sheet is trimmed.

Preparing the valley

There are two methods for installing Shinglas roof tiles in a valley. The SHINGLAS open installation method requires the mandatory use of a carpet for the valley, and the undercut method allows you to do without it.

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

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

Marking the slope

For proper installation of Shinglas, it is recommended to apply marking lines to the flooring that serves as the base for the flexible tiles. They perform a guiding function. The vertical lines are spaced from each other by the width of one sheet of tile, and the horizontal lines are spaced by five rows (see figure).

Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS

Tips for installing Shinglas

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

In cold weather (at outside temperatures below 5-10 degrees), Shinglas must be stored in a warm place for at least 24 hours before installation. The room temperature should be no 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 be delivered to the roof only after the previous tiles have been laid.

Self-adhesive strips on asphalt shingles need to be warmed up in cold weather. A hair dryer is used for this purpose.

Fastening ordinary tiles

Fig. 12 (diagram of fastening sheets with nails)

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

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

Installation of the starting strip

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

For a soft roof with Continent and Dragon Tooth cutting, the starting strip is made from shingles of ordinary tiles without cutting off the petals.

Laying the first and subsequent rows of Shinglas

The next rows are laid from bottom to top diagonally.

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

Western and Sonata

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.

In Fig. 16 shows an option for installing Shinglas flexible tiles from the middle of the slope in strips, and in Fig. 17 – in the shape of a pyramid.

At the gable, the corners of the shingles that meet the end strip must be trimmed as indicated above in Fig. 9. This is done to organize proper drainage of water from the roof.

Valley device

Open method of laying tiles in the valley

In addition to the usual fixation, each roofing sheet is secured with additional nails on top. However, these nails cannot be driven closer than 300 millimeters from the valley axis (Fig. 18, 2).

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

The shingles in the valley are secured in the same way as with the open method - with additional nails on the top side of the sheets, but no closer than 30 centimeters from the center line (Fig. 19, marks 1 and 2).

Crossing slopes (ribs and ridge)

A number of SHINGLAS collections include universal ridge-eaves tiles. It can be divided along the perforation lines, obtaining separate elements for starting strips on eaves overhangs, for the ridge and for other purposes.

Edge. The shingles that overlap the rib on both sides must be trimmed so that there is a gap of 50 millimeters between them. Lines are drawn with coated padding 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 each sheet of ridge tiles fastened 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 heads of the nails that secure the previous one.

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

For Beaver Tail, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Trio shingles, ridge shingles can be made from standard roofing sheets. The diagram for cutting and folding 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 other options.

The inner side of ridge tiles made from ordinary SHINGLAS tiles when installed 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-eaves tiles.

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

Experts advise bending shingles of the Finnish Tile and Classic type using a heated metal pipe at an air temperature below plus 5 degrees.

Installation of Shinglas on conical and domed roofs

One of the advantages of a soft roof is the ability to install it on a roof with a curved surface without much difficulty.

There are two main options for installing Shinglas flexible tiles on roofs of this type.

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

Metal tip (installed after laying the roofing).
Marking the ramp.
A whole petal of flexible tiles.
Half a petal.
Lining waterproofing material.

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

At the top, the cone or dome is covered 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).

Connection to vertical surfaces

The junction of the roof covering to walls, chimneys and other vertical surfaces requires special attention. Proper installation of connections reduces the risk of leaks in these vulnerable areas to zero.

In Fig. 22 triangular strip is marked with the number 1.

Shinglas shingles matching the joint are laid on top of the triangular strip.

The waterproofing carpet extends at least 30 centimeters onto the vertical surface. If, based on the climatic conditions of the region, one can assume a high level of precipitation in winter (and, accordingly, a significant accumulation of snow on the roof), then it is recommended to make a wider cut 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 of roofing work 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 sealant.

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

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

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 specifically designed for this purpose.

Passage elements are attached to the base using roofing nails. Sheets of tiles are laid over the passage element, after which they are cut and attached to the flange with adhesive mastic. After this, you can install the roof outlet required in this location.

Ventilation outlets are produced in two versions. Insulated outlets can be used on the roof of buildings that are used for housing or other use all year round, including in winter. Thanks to polyurethane insulation, condensation never freezes in them.

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

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

On the other hand, it is not advisable to equip exits intended for improved ventilation directly to the sewerage system itself with caps. During the cold period, due to the increased humidity of evaporation, condensation can accumulate and freeze in the hood.

Nine cutting shapes and 74 colors - TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS flexible tiles have a unique product range! Amazing and diverse collections allow you to choose the only right roofing solution, giving an impeccable appearance to the entire building.

The technology for laying flexible tiles is quite simple, but there are general features installation, as well as the nuances of fastening for each type of cutting form, which we will consider below.

Transportation and storage

Firstly, packaging with TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS flexible shingles is lightweight, so it is easy to carry by hand and does not require the use of lifting mechanisms and special devices. In small quantities they can be transported even in a personal car. However, during the transportation stage it is very important not to spoil the material. Thus, in no case should pallets with materials be placed on top of each other - they can deform the shingles of the tiles. Packages of tiles can only be carried edgewise (as shown in the figure).

During installation, packaging, like individual shingles, should not be folded at the bend of the ridge.

Another feature is that before opening the package, you need to bend it a little and shake it. This will make it much easier to remove caked shingles.

To minimize color imbalance (formation of color spots) of the roofing shingles from 5-6 packages should be mixed together.

Marking

Immediately before installation, markings are applied to the underlay carpet. It is a general guideline by which sheets of flexible tiles can be aligned vertically and horizontally during installation. That is, the shingles are not laid clearly along the lines of these markings. But it is especially helpful if the roof has curves or slopes.

Considering the dimensions of any roof, it is best to do the markings using construction laces.

The markings are applied in the form of a grid, in which the horizontal lines have a pitch equal to five rows of tiles (70-75 cm), the vertical ones - one meter, the size of one shingle of flexible tiles.

Range

The range of flexible tiles produced by TECHNONICOL includes nine forms of cuts: “continent”, “Atlantic”, “western”, “fighting tooth” - forms of multilayer tiles, “chord”, “sonata”, “brix”, “beaver tail”, “ trio" - forms of single-layer tiles.

Each of the forms is presented in a variety of colors.

For example, the “continent” cut form is represented by a series of a similar name with four shades: “Europe”, “America”, “Asia”, “Africa”. The largest collection of colors is available in the “dragon tooth” cut - 18 shades in the “Jazz” and “Country” collections.

You can decide on the cutting shape, collection and shade, as well as try on one or another collection on a model of a residential building at TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS.

Installation

Let's look at TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS in detail, using the example of a two-layer flexible tile with a “dragon tooth” cut shape.

On long slopes, the shingles are laid from the bottom up - from the eaves overhang to the roof ridge, from the center of the lower edge, to make it easier to align the tiles horizontally.

The installation process of flexible tiles begins with laying the starting strip along the eaves. It is made from special ridge-eaves tiles. It does not have “petals” of any form of cutting, consists of three parts and is attached to 12 roofing nails - six nails at the top, six at the bottom. Subsequently, they will be covered by the first row of tiles.

You can also make the starting strip yourself - from shingles of ordinary single-layer tiles, carefully cutting off the “petals” of the shingles with a roofing knife. In the case of “dragon tooth” cutting, the starting strip is made from ordinary tiles, without trimming.

The starting strip is laid on the underlay carpet with an indentation of 1-2 cm from the bend of the eaves overhang. If the roof slope is more than 45 degrees, the indentation must be increased by a couple of centimeters. When laying the first row of flexible tiles, the back side of the material is well coated with TECHNONICOL FIXER bitumen mastic and additionally fixed with roofing nails.

All shingles have back side There are special protective strips. When laying multi-layer tiles in the “dragon tooth” cut of the “ ”, “ ” and “ ” collections, unlike all other types and collections, the protective film is not removed. This film is needed exclusively for transporting shingles so that they do not stick together.

When working with other forms and collections, the film is removed, as it protects the adhesive layer.

The process of installing dragon tooth shingles has one more feature - the strips are laid with a vertical seam offset of at least 15 cm so that the “petals” of the top row completely cover the fastening of the underlying row.

The first row is laid from the bottom edge of the starting strip with an indentation of 1-2 cm, completely covering the nail fastening of the starting strip. On the gable side, the fastening area must be coated with TECHNONICOL FIXER mastic - approximately 10 cm wide and no more than 1 mm thick.

Let us remember that shingles are laid from the central axis of the roof, so at the gable overhang of long slopes, the shingles may have to be cut to the required width. But we must take into account that it should not be less than 20 cm and is secured with at least two nails.

The upper corner of the outer shingle at the gable strip is trimmed to ensure water drainage.

A common point for all forms of cutting is that during the laying process, each subsequent row of strips is laid offset by half a petal.

TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS are mounted on galvanized roofing nails with a wide head of 30 mm, 3.5 cm long. Each cutting shape has its own number of nailing points.

They are nailed along a special line found on every shingle and applied at the factory. This is very convenient - it is extremely difficult to make a mistake.

Note that the number of nails on the shingles also depends on the angle of the roof - if it is less than 45 degrees. For example, in “dragon tooth” cutting, five nails are enough for one shingle; if the angle is larger, then eight.

They should fit smoothly and the head should not “recess” into the tile. In this case, each nail should fasten two shingles at once - along the marked line, the upper shingle and the upper part of the lower shingle. This directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire structure made of flexible tiles. Important! When fastening three-layer flexible tiles of the “continent” and “Atlantic” cutting shapes, you must use roofing nails 45 mm long.

The general layout of the placement of nail fasteners and the location of mastic application, depending on the shape of the cut and the angle of inclination of the roof, is shown in the diagram:

For more comfortable and safe installation of flexible tiles, as well as storage of materials and placement of tools, TECHNONICOL offers special brackets. They can be adjusted according to the angle of the roof by 40, 50 and 60 degrees, and do not damage the materials being installed.

The main part of the bracket is nailed on top of the laid layer of tiles - the upper part to the base of the roof. When laying subsequent strips, it is covered with tiles.

Dismantling the brackets is also not difficult - the roof shingles are carefully bent, the fasteners (screws or nails) are pulled out, after which the bent shingles are put in place.

What is good about Dragon Tooth and why Shinglas Ranch is chosen in both the North and the South

In the steppe, near Orenburg, appeared athletic facilities, which resemble a UFO from above.

The domes of the complexes are covered with tiles with a volume of 6000 m2 white.*

Square and rectangular shingles cut "Dragon Tooth" form a 3D roofing pattern with smooth color transitions. The 3D look looks great on rooftops** and blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.

Installing shingles

Arrangement of valley, ribs, ridge, domed roofs, junctions and penetrations

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

Self-adhesive strips on asphalt shingles need to be warmed up in cold weather. A hair dryer is used for this purpose.

Fastening ordinary tiles

Fig. 12 (diagram of fastening sheets with nails)

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

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

Installation of the starting strip

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

For a soft roof with Continent and Dragon Tooth cutting, the starting strip is made from shingles of ordinary tiles without cutting off the petals.

Laying the first and subsequent rows of Shinglas

The next rows are laid from bottom to top diagonally.

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

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.

In Fig. 16 shows an option for installing Shinglas flexible tiles from the middle of the slope in strips, and in Fig. 17 - in the shape of a pyramid.

At the gable, the corners of the shingles that meet the end strip must be trimmed as indicated above in Fig. 9. This is done to organize proper drainage of water from the roof.
