Installation of a ridge with flexible shingles tiles. Soft roofing Shinglas is a new standard of beauty and quality. Soft tiles "Shinglas"

I have already written several articles on the topic of roofing materials: (MC) compared to metal tiles (MC) and.

Today it’s the turn to talk about the installation of Shinglas tiles from the site. Helped me with installation flexible tiles two people more experienced at this than I am, so I learned a lot from them. But it’s also possible to install flexible tiles with your own hands. Most importantly, do not forget to use insurance, since the roof is very slippery - both OSB and underlay carpet and even the flexible tiles themselves. Well, call at least one assistant who will play the role of a loader and throw sheets of warheads onto your roof.

For my roof, I chose domestically produced flexible tiles as the roofing material. Shinglas from the collection Country with title Michigan. In terms of price, it is noticeably cheaper than foreign ones (almost 2 times), and in terms of quality, according to reviews, it does not differ (except perhaps in the color range, and I’m not sure about that).

Together with flexible tiles(150 sq.m. ordinary and 15 sq.m. cornice and ridge) were also purchased:
— Metal drainage system GrandLine 90 mm
— Roof ventilation Vilpe + Huopa penetrations.
— Corrector for repairing scratches (needed when working with metal)
— Tytan rubber roofing sealant
— Gun for sealant
— Mastic “Fixer” — 15.6 kg (6 kg was enough in the end)
— Underlay carpets – 150 sq.m. Adnerep (not enough, had to buy another roll, think about overlaps!)
— Drip strip 100×60 white Atlas coating (aka cornice strip)
— Wind bar for soft roof 60x30x90 white Atlas coating

We also purchased 3 thousand nails for roofing nailers.

Installation of flexible Shinglas tiles. Stage 1. Cornice and front boards

Cornice and front boards I decided to make it Scandinavian wooden boards"ladder". Planed boards 20mm thick and 6 meters long. At first they were “ruffled” with a grinder with a special attachment (they weren’t so beautiful, but I think everything was absorbed much better and deeper). After which I primed them, let them dry, then sanded them with 180 grit sandpaper. After that, two coats of paint were applied over several days.

At the beginning, I nailed a board that was spread in half lengthwise; it acts as a mortgage for attaching the second board from above.

The boards were attached to the rafters finishing nails nailer 15GA Freeman. After securing and trimming, I filled all the cracks and nails and gave all the boards another coat of paint. After which I painted all the ends with a special compound (for greater protection). I bought Swedish paint - Teknos. The soil is theirs too. Well, the protection of the ends is similar.

Installation of flexible Shinglas tiles. Stage 2. OSB-3, cornice and wind strips, as well as Anderep underlay carpet

The next step was to attach the OSB to the sheathing, and then immediately lay the lining carpet (so that the OSB does not get wet or swell - such precedents happen).

Let me remind you that the sheathing on my roof is spaced at 350 mm intervals (initially metal), so I had to add 5 more rows of sheathing so that the OSB joints would fit on the sheathing.

It is very important to align the OSB exactly along the cornice, and you need to install it while immediately holding the cornice strip (drip cap) in your hand. Moreover, you first need to temporarily tighten the hooks drainage system into place in at least three places (at the edges and in the middle cornice boards). After this, it will be clear how long to release the eaves strip (water and snow should roll off it into the middle of the gutter, and not to the beginning), and therefore the release of the OSB. In my case, the OSB protruded 4 cm beyond the outer sheathing.

After fixing the first OSB sheets along the cornice, you can attach the cornice strip, and then the lining carpet on top of it. It is better to mount the plank using a thread pre-stretched along the slope. Then, using this evenly placed bar, it will be convenient to evenly mount the flexible tiles.

For the cornice I took a thick self-adhesive Anderep Ultra carpet. For the remaining parts of the slope - Anderep Prof (it is thinner and requires gluing layers with mastic, but it is enough for my eyes for my slope of 26 degrees). The carpet is attached from below to the previous layer using mastic, and mechanically from above - with nails. We overlapped 10 centimeters, everything was plentiful, but thin layer coated with mastic.

On the gables, it is better to initially release a little more OSB, and then cut the threads with a circular saw in place, this will be more accurate. That's what we did. Moreover, you also need to let out more of the carpet, and then bend it back and, after sawing off the OSB, cut it to the right place. But if you make a little mistake, it’s okay. A metal wind strip will immediately stand there and cover the carpet. It will already be attached to it flexible tiles onto a layer of mastic 10 centimeters long.

By the way, our wind bar was not immediately ready for use; it had an extra bend. As they explained to me in the Grand Line, this was done for better water flow, you just need to roll this bend yourself and press it against the bar. We did this with a hammer through a piece of wood. And we didn't really like it. But there’s nothing to be done; it turns out to be a half-do-it-yourself plank.

I moved the wind bar 1 cm away from the wooden top front board in order to remove moisture away from the wood. Also, the metal strips covered the board vertically by about 1.5 cm. I liked the final look.

A necessary thing when installing flexible tiles: a broom!

Installation of flexible Shinglas tiles. Stage 3. The tile itself

First of all, a special material is placed on the cornice along its entire length. cornice tiles, and we laid it so that it almost completely covered the cornice strip, leaving about 1.5 centimeters uncovered.

I’ll say right away that when installing flexible tiles on my roof, we did not do everything according to the instructions. Reality sometimes diverges greatly from instructions, and this happened this time too.

For example, it turned out that it is much more economical and convenient to install flexible tiles from the edge, rather than from the center of the slope. To do this, take two sheets flexible tiles and cut them into pieces 20cm-80cm and 40cm-60cm. We also take a third sheet 100 cm long. Now we begin to mount from the edge one above the other: 100, 80, 60, 40, 20. We have the first five rows. Now we will simply add a whole sheet to each of the rows and the seams will be at a distance of 20 cm from each other. Thus, from the scraps we will only have those parts that we cut off at the other end of the slope, and those usually also go into smaller pieces. I have about 2 squares of scraps left from the entire roof, that is, 1%, instead of the 5-10% stated by the manufacturer.

ATTENTION. This method only works for flexible tiles Country and Jazz, since the pattern there is not orthogonal, but random. With orthogonal tiles you need to do it differently and most likely it makes sense to start from the middle of the slope.

Installation of flexible Shinglas tiles. Stage 4. Vilpe ventilation pipes

It seemed most convenient to us to make penetrations not in a specific place with perfect accuracy, but in approximately in the right place(and then connect the penetration through the corrugation to a specific pipe). This allowed us to start installing the penetration in a place immediately after a solid piece of flexible tiles and trim everything to a minimum, and make all the seams not above the penetration, but in other places.

The only thing we didn’t do according to the instructions was that we didn’t tighten the screws, but replaced them with screw roofing nails, and we simply didn’t fasten the 3 screws that screw down the penetrations; we didn’t need extra holes in the roof, since we planted it firmly for mastic.

This is what it looks like in the end:

True, the roof is visible mainly to the neighbors; I can only see it from the other end of the site, so don’t particularly choose flexible tiles for their beauty. It’s better to choose for durability: two-layer and laminated: country or jazz. Jazz is the same, just a little thicker.

Currently, the roofing materials market is quite diverse. For the construction of a roof, anyone can choose an option in accordance with their preferences and practical problems: from ordinary asbestos-cement slate to expensive composite tiles.

Soft tiles Shinglas differs from other types of flexible tiles in the expanded color scheme And unusual cutting her scales.

One of the most convenient to install and at the same time reliable materials is soft (flexible) tiles.

SHINGLAS soft tiles are rightfully considered the standard in the segment of flexible roofing materials. If you follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations during installation, the roof will have an aesthetically attractive appearance and will last for a long time. The technology for laying Shinglas is quite simple, so installation can be done without the involvement of professional roofers.

Conditions for laying soft tiles

It is important to remember that it must be at least 12% - only in this case can soft tiles be used as a roofing material. If the roof slope is less, then moisture will be retained at the joints and such a coating is unlikely to last long.

The air temperature should exceed 5 degrees Celsius, so professionals advise installation in the summer. This is due to the fact that the shingle - a sheet of tiles - is attached to the roof surface not only with nails, but also with the help of a special self-adhesive layer, which is located on the inside of the sheet. Under influence solar heat sheets of soft tiles are soldered together, which ensures the overall tightness of the coating. At negative temperatures this process does not occur, so the insulation may be of poor quality.

At temperatures above 25 degrees it is also not recommended, or all work must be done very carefully and not step on already installed areas of the roof. And if it is necessary to carry out installation in the cold season, the sheets of flexible tiles should be kept at room temperature, and when laying use a hot-air burner or a hair dryer.

Preparing the base

First of all, you should think about installing under-roof ventilation. Creation air gap between the base of the roof and the rafter system is necessary to prevent accumulation excess moisture, which can lead to the formation of mold and subsequent rotting of the coating. Proper ventilation provided with the following elements:

• holes at the roof eaves for air flow;
• air gap between thermal insulation and roofing;
• holes in the upper part of the roof (at the ridge) for air outflow.

Shapes of cutting Shinglas tiles. Different shapes allow you to experiment with stylistic design roofs.

To ensure good air draft during ventilation, the lower holes should be placed evenly along the eaves, and the upper ones should be 10-15% larger than the lower ones. Ventilation duct between the roofing covering and the thermal insulation there should be at least 50 mm, and if the angle of inclination of the roof is less than 20%, then the width of the air gap should be 60-80 mm. By following this method of ventilation, the base of the roof will remain dry for a long time, therefore, the roof itself will last longer.

FSF plywood, chipboards, OSB, edged boards with an indicator are most often used as the base material for soft Shinglas tiles relative humidity no more than 20%. Most popular in given time the material for the sheathing is OSB board European standard, which has moisture-resistant grinding on both sides. Installation of such slabs should be carried out with a spacing of seams and a gap of 3 mm, since the possible thermal expansion of the material must be taken into account. If edged boards are used as sheathing, then the maximum gap between them should be no more than 5 mm. To increase service life everything wooden elements, including rafters, should be treated with antiseptics and fire retardants.

Installation of the lining layer

Device roofing pie Shinglas: 1 - flexible Shinglas tiles; 2 - self-adhesive lining carpet; 3 - OSB-3; plywood; 4 - sheathing;
5. Rafter system.

When the roof slope is from 12 to 18 degrees, an additional waterproofing sheet is laid on the base under the soft Shinglas tiles along the entire surface of the slope. Laying is carried out from the bottom up with an overlap in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. Fastening to the base is done using galvanized nails with a wide head, and the overlapping areas are coated with special bitumen mastic.

If the roof slope is more than 18 degrees, installation of an additional waterproofing carpet will be required only in places where leaks are most likely. In the valley roll material laid 1 m wide, 500 mm for each slope, while overlaps should be avoided when laying the material along the entire length of the valley. Skates are getting stronger insulating material at the rate of 250 mm per slope (clause 2.4 of SNiP Ts-26-76), and along the eaves overhangs backing layer must be at least 400 mm wide (clause 2.6 of SNiP Ts-26-76). The overlap areas must be coated with bitumen mastic.

The top of the underlayment is reinforced with cornice and end metal strips to protect the edges of the sheathing. Installation of these elements is carried out with an overlap of 50 mm and using roofing nails.

Laying soft tiles Shinglas (Shinglas)

After strengthening the roof overhangs with metal strips, you can proceed to laying soft tiles. All installation work can be done by one person; you only need the following tools:

Roofing system "Shinglas": 1 - ridge/eaves tiles; 2 - ordinary tiles; 3 — point aerator; 4 - pipe sealing; 5 - lining carpet; 6 — valley carpet; 7 — gable plank; 8 - solid base for tiles; 9 — cornice strip (drip); 10 — sealing the joint with the wall; 11 — abutment strip; 12 - dormer window; 13 - drainage system.

• work gloves;
• hammer;
• roofing nails (galvanized with a wide head);
• bitumen mastic;
• trowel for applying mastic;
• chalk rope;
• roulette.

You should start with the installation of Shinglas ridge-eaves tiles, which are laid on top of the previously fixed metal strips. You need to lubricate it first back side sheets with bitumen mastic, and they should be secured to the base of the roof using galvanized nails with a wide head. As a starting strip, you can use not only special ridge-eaves tiles, but also patterns from ordinary sheets with cut petals.

Before you begin laying Shinglas shingles, you should mix shingles from different packs, as they may differ in shades. On the inner surface of each shingle there is a special protective film that must be peeled off before laying the material.

The valley carpet is used for waterproofing the area of ​​internal bends (valleys) and junctions on pitched roofs.

Installation of the first row of tiles is carried out from the center of the slope to the edges - this will make it more convenient to align it horizontally. The shingles are attached to the base of the roof with the same galvanized nails, but you need to ensure that the heads of the nails do not cut into the material, but are flush with it.

The second row is also laid from the center, offset to the left or right by half a petal, with the bottom edge of each petal being flush with the top edge of the cutouts in the previous row. All subsequent rows are installed in the same way. Places where there is no self-adhesive layer, for additional protection need to be coated with bitumen mastic.

To prevent unevenness when laying rows of soft tiles, you can make appropriate markings on the slope using a chalk rope. Along the edges of the slope, the shingles of the tiles must be trimmed and additionally coated with mastic. And the place where the smoke or ventilation pipe it is necessary to additionally insulate it using a lining carpet, then coat the exit point and the passage element itself with bitumen mastic. It is also recommended to make a groove when installing the pipe to prevent snow from accumulating in this place in winter.

When laying shingles, you don’t need to coat each sheet with mastic - this will only ruin it appearance roofs. The laying technology must be fully observed; you should not try to lay out any specific design with soft tiles - it must be abstract.

To ensure that the roof lasts a long time and its appearance does not deteriorate, you need to follow the following recommendations:

• the condition of the roof should be checked in spring and autumn, when leaks are most likely;
• various small debris from the roof should only be removed with a soft brush;
• various items with sharp corners delete only manually;
• We must not forget to periodically clean the gutters so that water flows from the roof unhindered;
• if it accumulates in winter a large number of snow, it should be removed only with wooden shovels to avoid mechanical damage roofs;
• carry out repairs if necessary various elements roofing and grounds.

The technology for laying soft Shinglas tiles is quite simple and does not require the use of additional equipment. If you follow all the recommendations of professionals, your roof will last a long time and will be pleasing to the eye for many years.

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

TECHNONICOL company began production of soft tiles in 2000.

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 flexible Shinglas tiles, and also pay attention to recommendations for roof care. You can read about it by following the link.

Shingles flexible tiles bituminous multilayer material modular size, has three components: fiberglass, bitumen composition and basalt granulate. In production, two or more layers of material are sintered together, shingles are cut, placed into commercial bundles, and the bundles are packed 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, 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.

Roof tile structure

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 line there adhesive composition, ensuring fastening of 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 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:

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

D The durability of the coating is explained by the durability source material to the influence of atmospheric factors: wind, precipitation, high and low temperatures; influence biological factors: Shingles does not rot, is not affected by fungus and mold; it is not afraid of corrosion; it is resistant to acids and alkalis, which also gives excellent insulating qualities.

Easy installation provide physical characteristics: flexibility, small volume 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– 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 the tiles must be heated to 20° C, at higher temperatures they should not be loaded to avoid loss of shape;
• It is advisable not to walk on the finished coating;
• limited for styling Shingles – from 12 to 40°.

Shingles Specifications

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

Single layer

Double layer

Three-layer

* thickness of 1 layer of material

Installation of Shinglas - preparing tools

For high-quality styling except Shingles tools needed:

• Hammer;
• Roulette;
• Pencil;
• Master OK;
• Coated tape.

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:

1. ANDEREP;
2. TECHNONICOL mastic No. 23 (FIXER);
3. Vapor barrier;
4. Galvanized nails;
5. Ventilation systems – aerators, exits, passage elements;
6. Drainage system;
7. 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 snow load V 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.

Roofing pie

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

It’s a little easier with lathing, its step is taken constructively to be 35 cm, profile the same . 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. About the soft roof pie.

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

Flooring can be done 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.

Additional elements

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.

We cover the remaining parts of the slopes from bottom to top with a lining carpet with mechanical fastening. The overlap of horizontal joints is 10 cm, the vertical overlap of panels is 15 cm.

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

Strengthening the valley is required in case open method Shingles styling: valley material is laid on top of the self-adhesive carpet with a horizontal shift of 20-30 mm. Bottom part The reinforcing sheet is coated with bitumen mastic to a width of 100 mm from the edges 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.

Bypass ventilation

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:

1. We start laying from the middle of the longest slope and work from the bottom up. As a cornice we use a special ridge shingle or a cut ordinary shingle.
2. 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.
3. We install subsequent rows diagonally.
4. We install special exit penetrations communications, aerators and ventilation, chimneys.
5. 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.
6. Fastening ridge element , made from ordinary tiles and bent on a heated metal pipeØ10 cm, nailing each with 4 nails.

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:

1. Twice a year carry out an inspection surfaces, joints and junctions;
2. Cleanse use a soft brush to remove fallen leaves and debris;
3. Manually remove garbage with sharp edges;
4. Clean drains and gutters;
5. Snow removal with a wooden or plastic shovel in layers, leaving about 10 cm of snow for protection;
6. Carry out if necessary. About you can read the link.

The manufacturer guarantees a single-layer fabric for 10-15 years, a two-layer fabric for up to 55 years, a three-layer fabric for 60 years.. Following the technology for installing flexible shingles tiles (all about) proposed by the manufacturer, inspecting the roof twice a year and regularly caring for it, we can confidently say that Shingles is enough for my lifetime!

In contact with

In the article we will deal with the technology of laying soft roofing “Shinglas”. First, let's talk about what this roofing material is and on what basis it is made. And then we will move directly to the technology of installation on the roof.

What is the soft tile "Shingals"

This material is presented on Russian market from the manufacturer - TechnoNIKOL Corporation. Production was established jointly with the international company Chova. This material is shingles small size rectangular shape. It is made from fiberglass, which is coated on both sides with improved bitumen, and on the top front side also stone granulate. The latter is not only decorative layer, but also a kind of protection from harmful effects sun rays.

In addition, basalt coating copes well with mechanical loads, it does not fade, so the Shinglas roof retains its original color throughout its entire operation. In addition, the front surface has a rough plane, which means that an avalanche-like descent from soft Shinglas tiles never occurs.

The reverse side of the bitumen panels is sprinkled with sand so that the sheets do not stick together during storage in bundles. Here the treatment was carried out with a sticky mixture, which includes bitumen. This mixture is an additional fastener. With its help, roof tiles are sintered under the influence of positive temperatures and the sun. The bitumen mixture is covered with a silicone film, which is removed before installation.

It should be noted that the Technonikol company today offers Shinglas tiles in 14 collections and 70 shades. This huge variety makes it possible to decorate the roofs of houses to suit any, even the most demanding taste. At the same time, the manufacturer gives a 50-60 year guarantee for its products, which also captivates many consumers.

Let us add that installation of Shinglas is a fairly simple process. The main thing is to strictly follow the rules for laying the material, which are recommended by the manufacturer himself.

Technology for laying Shinglas bitumen shingles

Let's start with the fact that installation bitumen shingles produced only in continuous sheathing. These can be boards, moisture-resistant plywood (FSF) or OSB-3 boards (moisture-resistant). The boards are laid on rafter system with a small gap within 1 cm. The same applies to panel materials, only their installation is carried out in a checkerboard pattern, that is, with the sheets of one row offset in relation to the adjacent ones in half the slab.

Please note that the base for bitumen shingles must not only be strong, but also very smooth. The permissible error in height difference is up to 2 mm, no more. This is a strict parameter on which the quality of the final result depends.

Now sequentially for all operations performed.

Installation of drip

The purpose of this element is to prevent precipitation in the form of water from entering under the roof structure. The shape is a square, made of galvanized sheet steel, painted on both sides.

The drip cap is laid on the edge of the roof overhang and hammered into the sheathing roofing nails in a checkerboard pattern every 15 cm.

The standard length of the drip is 2 m. Therefore, these strips are laid overlapping relative to each other with an offset of at least 3 cm.

Laying underlay carpet

This roll material is based on bitumen-polymer binder. Today TechnoNIKOL Corporation offers four types of this coating. At the same time, he divides the species into two groups:

Self-adhesive lining materials.

WITH mechanical fixation.

The first group includes:

ANDEREP ULTRA, which is based on polyester, coated with a bitumen-polymer mixture and sand on the front side;

ANDEREP BARRIER– baseless material, in top layer which a thick reinforcing film is inserted.

The second group includes:

ANDEREP PROF with a polyester base and a polypropylene top coating;

ANDEREP GL– baseless material with double-sided sand coating.

It should be noted that the lining material is laid first in areas of the valley and eaves overhangs. Installation starts from the first. That is, a roll 1 m wide is rolled out so that it covers two adjacent roof slopes of 50 cm on each side. The protective polymer film is immediately removed from the laid strip.

On our website you can find contacts construction companies that offer roof design and repair services. You can communicate directly with representatives by visiting the “Low-Rise Country” exhibition of houses.

Then the lining and overhangs are covered. The strips are simply laid out parallel to the cornice so that they cover 40 cm eaves overhang and 60 cm of roof. If the cornice is more than 40 cm, then you will have to lay not one strip of material, but two: one above the other in the direction from the overhang to the ridge. In this case, the strips are laid with an overlap of 10 cm. The horizontally laid strips must also cover part of the material laid on the valley. Here the overlap is 15 cm.

Regardless of whether the material chosen for the roof covering is self-adhesive or with mechanical fixation, it is recommended to secure the laid strips with galvanized roofing nails with a fastening pitch of 20-25 cm along the entire perimeter.

Now the remaining planes of the sheathing open from the lining carpet are covered with it. Simply lay the strips overlapping each other, coating the edges with Fixer bitumen mastic and punching them with nails.

Installation of gable strips

This element of the roofing structure is necessary in order to protect the continuous gable planes of the roof from rain and wind. Installation is carried out in exactly the same way as installing a drip.

Marking the slope

In fact, this stage of the Shinglas soft roof installation technology is important, although many craftsmen do not use it. It makes it easier to install shingles exactly along the intended lines. Therefore, markings are made vertically every 70 cm - this is the distance where five rows of roofing material can be placed at once. And horizontally – 1 m, this is the length of Shinglas bitumen tiles.

Laying the valley carpet

This is a rolled material based on polyester, treated on both sides with a bitumen-polymer composition. It is laid on valleys to increase the waterproofing layer, because valleys are subject to loads from precipitation more than other areas of the roof structure.

The valley carpet in the form of a strip is laid so that its edges cover the edges of the laid lining material. Fastenings are made with bitumen mastic and nails. First, mastic is applied along the edges of the lining material in a strip of 10 cm. Then the valley carpet is laid out and additionally fastened around the perimeter with roofing nails in increments of 20-25 cm. In this case, the distance from the edge of the laid strip to the fastening point is 3 cm.

This is a strip of the same material as Shinglas bitumen shingles, the same length and width. Only there are no shingles in its design. If this soft blood element is not available, then you can use ordinary tiles, from which the shingles are cut off.

The installation of the starting strip must begin from the middle of the overhang, laying the elements in different directions towards the gables of the roofing structure. The material itself is self-adhesive, so the back side must be removed protective film and lay the strip on the roof, pressing it to the surface. Additionally, it is attached to the sheathing with roofing nails along the perimeter in 15 cm increments.

Please note that the starting strip is laid with a distance of 1.5 cm from the edge of the cornice. If ordinary tiles are used as the starting strip, then it is laid on bitumen mastic, which is first applied to the underlay carpet.

Installation of ordinary tiles

Laying bitumen shingles should begin from any edge of the roof. The shingle is laid so that its lower edges recede from bottom edge starting strip by 1.5-2 cm. The material itself is attached to the roof slope with four nails. The nails are driven in at a distance of 2.5 cm from the edges of the cut shingles. This is done so that the tiles next row covered the caps of the fasteners.

I would like to add that if the angle of inclination of the roof slopes exceeds 45°, then it is recommended to drive not 4, but 6 nails into the laid tiles.

Formation of the valley and gables

Everything is quite simple here. It is necessary to leave a gutter from the valley carpet with a width of 10 cm. That is, 5 cm are laid from the axis of the valley in both directions. It is up to this parameter that the Shinglas bitumen tiles will be laid.

Therefore, along the gutter line bitumen mastic is applied 10 cm wide.

Panels are being laid bitumen material, the edges of which are pressed against the mastic strip.

The edges are pierced nails.

They do the same with gables. That is, they apply mastic, lay tiles, which are pierced with nails. Please note that the nail heads must remain under roofing materials, laid on top of what has already been laid.

Ridge formation

The technology of laying Shinglas on the roof is not just a covering, it is full formation the rest roofing elements, where the ridge plays an important function. It is through it that the roof ventilation will be carried out. Therefore, before finishing the ridge part of the roof, a special element is installed, which is also produced by the Technonikol company. It forms the ridge of the roof and leaves holes for ventilation.

The ridge element is attached to the sheathing, and then covered with a starting strip, which is simply nailed down. The starting strip is laid not along the ventilation element, but across it, having first cut the strip into several parts, usually into three.

In principle, that’s all regarding the installation of Shinglas bitumen shingles.

Video description

The video shows and describes the sequence of operations for laying Shinglas bitumen shingles:

As mentioned above, Shinglas soft roofing consists of several collections. So there are some differences in the installation process bitumen coating different models.

If the model is being laid “ Jazz", then the displacement of shingles of one row relative to another should be carried out in the range from 15 to 85 cm. That is, there is no specific parameter.

Trio, Tango, Sonata shifted by half the width of the tile petal.

Model Chord laid so that its right petal overlaps the joints of two adjacent tiles of the lower row.

Conclusion on the topic

Shinglas roof covering is a real opportunity to solve the problem of obtaining a high-quality roofing structure that will last at least half a century for little money. Of course, if the soft roof itself is laid according to the manufacturer’s rules. But, as the information from the article shows, this is not the most difficult process, which does not require special tools, equipment and materials. In addition, the Technonikol company offers full set own production. That is, tiles, roofing coverings, mastic, ventilation elements, as well as drip edges and gable strips.

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

A roofing system covered with Shinglas bitumen shingles must consist of a continuous vapor barrier on the room side, thermal insulation of the required thickness, windproof film. The under-roof space must be ventilated. Without ventilation, moist fumes will accumulate in and above the insulation layer.

The color code on packages of flexible tiles is checked before installation; it must be the same. With the same code, there may be a slight discrepancy in shades. To make it invisible, material from several different packages is mixed. It is recommended to lay it in diagonal stripes.

If the air temperature is below +5°C, laying the material is possible, but with some restrictions. The packages are kept in a warm room. They are lifted onto the roof in several pieces just before installation. It is recommended to preheat the adhesive strips. A hair dryer is used for this.

Shingles are trimmed on a rigid backing (sheet of plywood, board). Cutting should not be performed on already laid bituminous shingles (there is a risk of damage to them).

Packages with material are stored away from heat sources and not in direct sunlight. Heat is avoided so that the adhesive strips do not stick to the siliconized film (it should be easy to remove).

When storing packages on pallets, they are not stacked (each pallet is placed separately).

To ensure that the sheets of material are well separated from each other, each package is slightly bent and shaken before opening.

It is not recommended to walk on an already installed coating if the installation is carried out in sunny or humid, hot or cold weather(marks or stains may remain). Westmet engineers recommend leaving manholes for access to the desired area on the roof.

Materials

Shinglas bituminous shingles. Used as a base coat. There are more than 70 models in the catalog. Install according to the instructions below.

. Used for additional waterproofing and leveling of continuous flooring, increasing service life roofing system. The line includes:

• self-adhesive underlay carpets of the ANDEREP ULTRA series. Made from polyester, bitumen, front surface - with protective layer from fine-grained mineral powder. Sprinkling increases the strength of the underlay carpet. The main layer is SBS-modified bitumen, which impregnates the polyester base (used as a reinforcing layer for greater strength). The inner surface is adhesive, with a siliconized film, which is removed before installation;
• carpets with mechanical fastening. Universal carpet - ANDEREP PROF. Lightweight, base - polyester, main layer - bitumen impregnation, Facial and inner surface- made of polypropylene, durable, non-slip. Can serve as a temporary roof for up to 6 months. ANDEREP PROF PLUS: the bitumen-impregnated polyester base is protected by a layer of Spunbond (non-woven polypropylene) on the outside and inside, with an additional self-adhesive edge (covered with film before installation). ANDEREP GL, GL PLUS: fiberglass base impregnated with SBS-modified bitumen. The surface is protected by a layer of fine-grained coating. On the surface there are thermoactive strips that stick together during operation, increasing the reliability of waterproofing. In the GL PLUS version, the edges are additionally protected by an adhesive layer.

When laying carpets, bitumen mastic is not used.

Valley carpet. Used in valleys and junction areas. Supplied in rolls. The base is made of polyester, reinforced with a layer of SBS-modified bitumen. The outer surface is a layer of colored basalt granules. The valley carpet is matched to the color of the roof and is used in areas where the risk of leaks is increased.

Planks: junctions, end, cornice, pediment. Used as additional elements. The base is galvanized steel. Coating - polyester or granulate (protects against corrosion). When installing the roof, planks of the same color as the roofing are used.

Fasteners TECHNONICOL supplies bitumen shingles with roofing nails 45x3.5 or 30x3.5. Made of galvanized steel, they have a ring knurl (they are held in the flooring five times more reliably). The diameter of the cap is increased. After installation, the fastener caps are hidden by the tabs of the overlying shingles.

Mastic. Used for gluing bituminous shingles to the underlayment, at junction areas, and for laying valley carpets. TECHNONICOL No. 23 FIXER contains bitumen, polymers, solvents, fillers. Is cold mastic(does not require heating before use).

. To organize the removal of wet fumes from the under-roof space, aeroelements, aerators, TECHNONICOL valves are used, and a sufficient number of vents are provided.

Auxiliary materials can be replaced with products from third-party manufacturers, provided they have similar characteristics.

Terminology

Consumption rates for flexible roofing

The useful coverage area is indicated on each package of material. For most cutting forms and collections it is 3 m 2 /pack. Exceptions:

Mastic consumption

Varies for different nodes and sections:

• joints of lining carpet fabrics - 100 g/linear. m (mastic is used if the lining carpet does not have self-adhesive strips along the edges);
• valley carpet - 400 g/linear. m (the edges are glued around the perimeter);
• abutments - 750 g/linear. m (the edges are glued along the junction).

Observing the consumption rate, make sure that the mastic is applied in a thin layer (up to 1 mm). It is impossible to increase the thickness of the layer so that swelling does not form in areas of overlap.
