Organized drainage after installation of the roof. Installation of Tegola classic soft tiles. Pigtail installation method

The need to protect your home from atmospheric influences pushed a person to create various types roofs and roofing materials. Historical development shows how materials and design forms have changed. Today, there are many technologies for installing and covering roofs, which are adapted not only to the aesthetic expectations of the end user, but also to the climatic and design features.

This is what a roof looks like soft roof th Tegola

One of the newest and most promising roofing materials is Tegola soft roofing. Bituminous shingles includes 7 models and 2 types of coloring. In production, basalt granulate is used, which has a number of advantages:

• Frost resistance (up to -70 degrees Celsius);
• Heat resistance (deformation does not occur even at a temperature of 1100 degrees);
• Resistance to wind load;
• High impact resistance (eg hail);
• Waterproof;
• Environmental friendliness;
• Aesthetics;
• Features of painting (coloring occurs during the process of ceramization, which helps to increase color fastness);
• Ease of use.

Installation of soft roof Tegola

Installation of Tegola soft roofing is quite simple and there is no need to talk about difficulties, since this type roofing has increased elasticity and light weight. Considering these advantages, we can say with confidence that Tegola soft roofing can be used even taking into account the most complex configurations.

Roof installation occurs in several stages:

• Preparing the base. The base can be used, for example, wooden sheathing. The main thing is that the base is completely dry;
• A layer of waterproofing is laid on a pre-prepared base;

It must be remembered that installation must take place at a temperature not lower than +6 degrees Celsius. If the air temperature is lower, the bitumen will harden and will need to be reheated using a hair dryer.

• The material must be laid strictly in rows. It's worth starting bottom edge. It is also important to know that the first row should consist entirely of petals that have a truncated shape;
• All subsequent rows must be laid on top of each other “overlapping”. To improve the quality of fastening, it is better to secure each petal with nails, of which 4 pieces will be needed for each sheet;
• The size of the gaps should not exceed two millimeters;
• It is best to start installation from the slope that has the smallest size or slope from bottom to top and then move to the ridge of the roof;
• Then, ridge elements reinforced with nails are laid on top.

It is important to know that the installation of a soft roof should be carried out taking into account the direction of the wind.

Video of installation of Tegola soft roofing

To install the roof yourself, you can use the video instructions, which will help you look at the installation process in more detail and delve into the details, watch the video.

There are several points that must be taken into account during installation:

• It is necessary to begin work by taking measurements of the roof, since it is from the accuracy of such measurements that the number of tile petals will be calculated in the future;
• Then comes the preparation of the base;
• Next, a layer of additional waterproofing is laid using lining material;
• Only after completing all the above steps, you can begin installing the tiles;

It is better to fasten Tegola soft roofing using galvanized nails (FeZn).

• When installing, you must move from bottom to top;
• The outer row must be brought to the ridge, bent over the edge and fixed;
• All ridge elements must be cut from the same tile petals.

Tegola soft tiles are actively used in the construction of administrative and residential buildings, offices and private houses. This fact suggests that the highest Italian quality is now available to everyone, thanks to the latest technologies And flexible system pricing.

(Important details for installing soft roofs)

Soft roofing (Tegola, Tegola) is laid on a solid base made of moisture-resistant plywood or tongue-and-groove or edged boards with impregnation. For additional waterproofing, a roll is used backing layer.

In case of slope slope less than 1:3, the lining layer is placed on the entire surface. For a slope of more than 1:3 - only along the perimeter of the slope, in places of valleys, joints, etc.

Installed in the eaves part eaves overhangs(“drippers”) or gutters drainage system. To create the first row, cut off the petals from the whole strip.

Laying should begin from midline stingray The first row is glued with Ecobit bitumen mastic and fixed with nails in the upper part.

The following strips are laid with an offset, creating a specific pattern. Each strip is secured with 5 nails (if the slope of the slope exceeds 60°, use 2 additional nails in the upper corners). Each nail must also penetrate the bottom sheet of soft tiles (see installation diagram on the tile packaging).

The petals of soft tiles are glued to self-adhesive strips. When laying in warm weather, just press the petal, cold weather It is necessary to heat the self-adhesive dots. 1. Galvanized nails with a head diameter of 9 mm 2. Self-adhesive dots

Ridge elements are cut from whole petals (to form a cone). From the resulting elements, skates and ribs are laid. The overlap is made from the wind side. Fastening with two nails and bituminous mastic "Bitustik". IN winter period It is recommended to heat the ridge element during molding. 1 - the last row tiles (brought to the line of the ridge, the protruding part is bent over the ridge and fixed on the opposite slope); 2 - cut out ridge element; 3 - fixing nail; 4 - self-adhesive dots.

The valley is laid with an overlap and trimming of the strips of the adjacent slope along the central line of the valley. 1 - Nikofol waterproofing membrane; 2 - bitumen mastic "Ecobit"; 3 - zone not pierced by nails; 4 - base for tiles: high moisture-resistant plywood (FSF) with a thickness of 9.5 mm, tongue-and-groove or edged boards with a thickness of 25 mm or more, OSB sheets; 5 - fixing nail; 6 - top sheet flexible tiles(cut along the “lace”, the upper corner is cut at 60°).

To decorate a pediment or chip, we recommend using special metal elements. Cut off the outer strips in the upper corner and use Ecobit bitumen mastic. 1 - pediment metal drainage apron; 2 - fixing metal clamp (at least 3 pieces per meter); 3 - bitumen mastic "Ecobit"; 4 - fixing nail; 5 - self-adhesive dots; 6 - top sheet of soft tiles (the angle is cut at 60°); 7 - base for soft tiles: plywood moisture resistant thick from 9.5 mm, tongue-and-groove boards or edged boards with a thickness of 25 mm or more, OSB sheets; 8 - ventilation chamber(from 5cm); 9 - sheathing for the base of the roof; 10 - supporting structure; 11 - self-tapping screw with a protective cap.

For the second option use wooden beam triangular section, boards and lining layer 1 - board; 2 - pressure board; 3 - fixing nail; 4 - lining layer; 5 - cut sheet of flexible tile; 6 - base for soft tiles: moisture-resistant plywood with a thickness of 9.5 mm, tongue-and-groove boards with a thickness of 25 mm or more, OSB sheets; 7 - ventilation chamber (from 5cm); 8 - sheathing for the base of the roof; 9 - supporting structure; 10 - beam of triangular section.

The connection to a vertical wall should be made using special metal aprons. 1 - wall-mounted metal drainage apron (scanning 25 cm); 2 - additional metal drainage apron (ream 12.5 cm; fastening in a groove); 3 - fixing metal clamp (at least 3 pieces per meter); 4 - bitumen mastic "Ecobit"; 5 - fixing nail; 6 - self-adhesive dots; 7 - top sheet of soft (flexible) tiles (the angle is cut at 60°); 8 - additional waterproofing membrane "Safety Poly"/"Icebar" 1 meter wide, respectively welded or glued in places where snow is likely to accumulate; 9 - base for soft tiles: moisture-resistant plywood with a thickness of 9.5 mm, tongue-and-groove boards or edged boards with a thickness of 25 mm or more, OSB sheets; 10 - groove in the wall for attaching the apron.

Roof covering technologies change and improve every year. Today there are many different materials, adapted to the design features of structures and climatic conditions regions. Tegola tiles also have these characteristics, which have established themselves as a reliable, durable and aesthetically attractive roofing material.

Tegola is the world's leading manufacturer of flexible tiles

Tegola Corporation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of bitumen-based flexible roofing. The company began its activities back in 1976 and to this day sets quality standards for tiles. Tegola Corporation accounts for about 50% of the entire European market for flexible tiles. The lineup has 47 types and more than 100 colors of roofing material.

In addition, components and accessories for roofing are produced under the Tegola brand:

• rolled waterproofing materials;
• materials roofing pie(vapor diffusion and vapor barrier membrane, base for tiles, thermal insulation boards);
• drainage systems;
• caps for chimneys and ventilation shafts;
• metal aprons;
• decorative elements of the roof (spire, cornice molding, cap, drainage funnel).

Structure and characteristics of flexible tiles

Tegola soft roofing is a bitumen tile coated with a basalt granulator. Such finishing provides zero water absorption to the material and gives the roof greater strength.

The characteristics of a material can be judged by its components. In the manufacture of Tegola soft tiles, fiberglass, bitumen, flint sand and granules are used.

Fiberglass- the basis of the material, has reinforcing properties and holds the shape of the tile. The Tegola company keeps the glass fiber manufacturing technology a secret, guaranteeing an increase in strength by a third compared to similar coatings from other manufacturers. The density of fiberglass is 125 g/m2.

A layer of fiberglass is impregnated on both sides natural bitumen which is enriched with oxygen. Natural bitumen is mined in Venezuela and is the most resistant to significant temperature fluctuations. Bitumen determines the flexibility and elasticity of the tiles.

Apply on top of bitumen basalt granulator. Thanks to this coating, the soft roof acquires the following qualities:

• resistance to mechanical damage;
• UV resistance;
• non-flammable.

The basalt is crushed, sifted and sorted by size. After this, the granules are painted and undergo ceramicization - fired in a high-temperature oven. The properties of the granules are similar to those ceramic products. As a result of such events, the tiles acquire a rich color that retains its brightness throughout its entire service life.

The use of granules of different fractions increases protective properties material and ensures a tight fit of the roofing covering

The lowest layer of shingles is flint sand. It facilitates installation (prevents slipping) and prevents the tile sheets from sticking together during transportation and storage.

Advantages of Tegola soft roofing

The advantages of Tegola flexible tiles include:

The elasticity of Tegola soft tiles protects the roof from displacement and damage during shrinkage of the building, which is quite possible during the construction of a new house

Variety of Tegola flexible tile models

Tegola Corporation produces flexible tiles in several series.

Line Super represented by 5 types of tiles:

Premium Line- designer flexible tiles, the color scheme of which repeats the shades of natural roofing materials from the last century. The Architect and Master models imitate the ancient appearance of the roof, while Castello, Versailles and Liberty give the structure the appearance of a medieval castle.

Line Exclusive- flexible tiles coated with zinc-titanium, aluminum or copper. Each of the metals has a well-recognized appearance and gives the building an aristocratic feel.

Copper-coated tiles are an exclusive development of Tegola Corporation. The copper layer reliably protects the upper bitumen and improves the performance properties of the tiles. The metallized coating reflects the sun's rays, reducing the thermal effect on the polymer-bitumen layer. Models of the Exclusive series have thermo-adhesive dots that guarantee the roof’s resistance to gusts of wind.

Flexible roofing with metal coating can last about 100 years even in harsh climates

Photocatalytic and photovoltaic tiles deserve special attention.

Soft photocatalytic roofing "Aktiruf" has a titanium dioxide coating. Thanks to this processing harmful substances from the air (volatile chemical and organic substances, bacteria and viruses) under the influence sun rays disintegrate into water molecules and secure connections which are washed away by the rain. Flexible tiles "Aktiruf" are available in three colors: blue, gray and light blue.

Tegosolar tiles- source of electricity. Photovoltaic cells made of three-layer silicon are mounted on a bitumen base. Solar battery suitable for any Tegola bitumen shingles, does not harm environment, does not require maintenance and reduces energy costs.

Advantages of photovoltaic tiles from Tegol:

• quick installation;
• no amplification required load-bearing elements designs;
• does not contain glass - the surface can be walked on;
• the surface does not create glare;
• self-cleaning surface;
• performance solar panels during cloudiness 60-65%.

Bituminous tiles Nordland- best option for harsh climates with significant temperature fluctuations. It is used for the restoration of old roofs and the installation of roofs for new buildings. Nordland tiles are produced in accordance with European quality standards EN544 and have the corresponding ISO9001 certificate.

Tegola tile installation technology

Preparatory work

Installation of Tegola tiles is carried out on a dry, level, clean base made of moisture-resistant plywood, edged, tongue-and-groove boards or reinforced concrete slabs.

The base should not have differences in height of more than 2 mm

Before laying flexible tiles, the roof must be prepared - additional waterproofing must be carried out using roll materials. It is important to adhere to the following recommendations:

1. If the roof slope has an inclination angle of up to 30°, then the lining layer must be laid over the entire surface of the roof. Laying is carried out parallel to the cornice, transverse overlap - 20 cm, longitudinal - 10 cm.
2. If the angle of the roof is more than 30°, then the waterproofing is laid along the eaves in two rows, in the valleys, around the chimney pipes, skylights and ventilation shafts.

Tegola recommends using the following materials as a lining layer:

1. Bitumen membrane on a polyester basis “Sefety” with a thickness of 2 or 3 mm. The membrane is fixed with bitumen mastic along the lower edge, and along the upper edge and on the sides - with roofing nails at intervals of 10 cm. The overlaps must be glued with mastic.
2. Self-sealing self-adhesive membrane “Icebar”, made of SBS bitumen with a protective polymer layer. Protective film is removed from the membrane, the material is placed on the base and rolled with a metal roller.

To lay soft tiles you will need the following tools:

1. burner or hair dryer;
2. metal scissors;
3. tape measure and pencil;
4. coated padding;
5. spatula or gun;
6. hammer and sharp knife.

Roof markings

Let's consider an example of laying Tegola Gothic tiles with sheet dimensions of 1000 * 337 * 3.0 mm, coating weight - 8.5 kg/m2.

Before you begin laying the soft roof, you need to mark the roof. The work is performed in the following sequence:

1. Draw a straight line (XY) parallel to the ridge line. The line should be 19.4 cm from the roof eaves.
2. Mark the middle of the drawn line (A).
3. On both sides of the central point at a distance of 1.5 m, mark two additional points (B and C).
4. Using a coated cord as a compass with a length of about 2 m and one end at point C, make a notch above central point A. Repeat the same action for point B. Designate the intersection of two arcs as point D.
5. Draw a straight line passing through points A, D and the top of the roof. This axis will center line stingray
6. Parallel to line AD, draw straight lines every 16.6 cm.
7. From the XY line, draw horizontal parallel lines to the top of the slope. The pitch between the lines is 14.3 cm.

Fastening tiles

Installation algorithm for Gothic tiles:

1. The first row is formed from sheets of tiles with cut petals. Strips 19.5 cm wide are laid out along the cornice line and fixed at the bottom edge with mastic and at the top with nails.
2. The next row should begin to be laid from the vertical line AD.
3. Each subsequent row is laid out with an offset of 16.6 cm to the right.
4. The entire roofing surface is formed in this order.

To fix the tile sheets, galvanized roofing nails improved fit (twisted, ribbed) with a head diameter of at least 9 mm and a diameter of the nail itself - from 3 mm. Each sheet is secured with four nails, which must go through the upper edge of the lower roofing sheet.

If the roof has a steep slope (more than 60°), then the tile sheet should be secured with six nails. The upper corners of the canvas are fixed with two nails at a distance of 2.5 cm from the edge

Laying roofing in valleys and installing a ridge

A waterproofing membrane is installed in the valleys. Sheets of tiles are mounted on top of the membrane and secured with nails. Distance of fasteners to valley and layer bitumen mastic should not be less than 30 cm.

After the “valley carpet” is ready, begin arranging the ridge:

1. The top row of tiles must be brought to the ridge line.
2. The protruding part of the canvas is bent over the edge of the roof and fixed on the slope.
3. Ridge elements are “cut out” from sheets of tiles and then overlapped on the ridge. The overlap must be at least 5cm.
4. The laying direction is chosen according to the prevailing wind direction.

Advice! To give strength ridge element, bottom side It is better to warm up the tiles a little and coat the perimeter with bitumen mastic

Alternatively, the ridge can be made of metal.

Tegola tiles: installation

Let's give useful tips, which will help create a reliable roofing covering from Tegola soft tiles.

1. In order to align the joints in the overlap between the canvases waterproofing membrane, can be used hot air and a spatula.
2. Laying tiles should begin with a smaller slope with a flatter angle of inclination.
3. The length of the fastening nails is selected depending on the thickness and type of roof sheathing.
4. You cannot lay tiles from different batches on the same roof - differences in shades are possible.
5. It is convenient to cut the tile sheet with a knife with a hook-shaped blade.
6. It is recommended to carry out installation work in shoes with soft soles.
7. Installation of a soft roof must be carried out at an air temperature of at least 5°C. Otherwise, the tile sheets must be heated construction hairdryer to soften the bitumen layer.

Tegola tiles are color variety And a large assortment soft roof. The material is easy to install and affordable, and its performance qualities are not inferior to elite ones roofing coverings from the shallows.

  Soft roofing made of flexible tiles has become a distinctive feature of modern house construction. , which is characterized by many positive qualities. It is hardly possible to find a person who will not be attracted by the modern design of this roof and ease of installation.

  Tegola roofing undoubtedly occupies a leading place today among the available options for arranging the roof of a house. All that is required from the homeowner, given enough simple technology styling is to choose color scheme and the shape of the shingles. Customer reviews, in which they directly advise choosing this particular product, do not leave even a fraction of a doubt about this.

  Advantages of the material

  In some respects, Tegola roofing compares favorably with analogues from many manufacturers. The main advantages of the material include:

  • Durability. Fiberglass, which performs a reinforcing function, and a surface layer of basalt granulate or metal sheet provide plates with increased strength characteristics.
  • Frost and heat resistance. Tegola soft roofing retains its size and shape and does not lose performance in the widest possible range. temperature range, from minus 70⁰ up to plus 110⁰.
  • Resistance to mechanical damage, in particular, increased impact resistance.
  • Easy to install. Waste when laying the material is minimal - about 3-5 percent. The installation process is extremely simple, which ensures minimal installation time for the roof.
  • Environmental friendliness. Tegola tiles themselves do not emit toxic elements and do not adsorb them from the external environment.
  • Exclusivity. Not a single series is visually similar to tiles from other manufacturers.
  • High quality. Production is organized on modern innovative equipment, and products undergo quality control at important production stages.

  We will also add the chemical neutrality of the material, ultraviolet resistance, moisture resistance, sound insulation, wide color palette– about 200 options, variety of shapes.

  Description of production

  

  A mandatory element of soft tiles from any manufacturer is fiberglass, which is impregnated with bitumen. However, each manufacturer brings its own developments to the production process. What are the features of Tegola technology??

  • Use of high quality natural bitumen, modified with additives and enriched with oxygen, allows you to change the structure of bitumen from molecular to polypropylene. The result is an absolutely moisture-resistant material that is resistant to sudden temperature fluctuations.
  • Fiberglass, used as a basis, manufacturer know-how. As a result, the strength of the product increased by 30% compared to products from other manufacturers.
  • Basalt granulate covering shingles, passes pre-treatment, which provides the coating with special color saturation and durability. The granulate is crushed, after which it is sifted into fractions of three sizes, which are colored with permanent dyes. The next stage, as a result of firing it at a temperature of about 650⁰, the mineral pigment is ceramized, that is, it turns into glass.
  • Thanks to the combination of different factions, the protective properties of tiles are significantly increased, the fixation of the granulate to the bitumen layer is improved, and the bitumen is additionally protected from external influences.
  • Silicon sand, applied to the back of the shingle, makes it easier to work with the material: It is easier to transport, store and use because it prevents them from sticking together.

  Types and prices

  The construction market offers consumers more than 40 models of Tegola tiles. Let's look at some popular collections, soft roofing Tegola Nordic, Alpine, Classic.

  • Tegola Nordic

  

  Products in this series have the form of hexagonal petals connected to each other. The color range is quite varied, but the color is uneven: the petals in the upper part are darker than in the lower part. Due to the play of shades, a unique mosaic effect is created.

  • Alpin

  

  The rectangular petals of the tiles are arranged asymmetrically, which provides the roof with original look. The fact is that due to their uneven lighting, the appearance of both a constant play of color and a change in shape is created.

  • Classic

  

  Installation
  

  This roofing is easy to install, so its installation is accessible to almost everyone.

  Preparatory work

  Tegola is installed under the roof continuous sheathing. It is filled from edged or tongue-and-groove boards, moisture-resistant plywood or OSB boards. The base surface must be smooth, clean and dry. We allow a height difference of no more than 2 mm. The same applies to expansion joints.

  On a note

  Tegola sheets can also be mounted on a concrete screed.

  Roof calculation
  

  Calculations are performed in the following order:

  • Having calculated the area of ​​the slope, the value is rounded to tenths.
  • For further calculations, you need to find out the packaging of the selected material. The area of ​​the slope is divided by the resulting number and the required number of packages is obtained.

  Calculation example

  Let's say a slope with an area of ​​15 square meters. m., it is supposed to cover Tegola tiles Nordic. The packaging surface of the material according to packaging is 3.45 square meters. m.

  15: 3,45 = 4,34.

  Thus, for this slope it is necessary to purchase 5 packages of material.

  Roof markings

  Coated lace is used to draw lines.

  • Stepping back 195 mm from the cornice, parallel ridge bar draw an XY line,
  • We denote the midpoint by the letter A.
  • We mark two more points located at a distance of approximately 150 cm to the right and left of point A.
  • We measure the lace with length L, AB
  • Through A, D and the top of the roof we beat off the center line of the slope.
  • Parallel to AD at a distance b=165 mm, draw a line Z.
  • We beat off parallel horizontal lines (143 mm pitch) from XY to the top.

  This marking was made for Tegola Nordic. Markings for another type are made according to the manufacturer’s recommendations specifically for this product.

  Waterproofing

  

  Despite the exceptional performance qualities, it may be necessary to attach a lining material to the soft roof of the tegol, which serves as additional waterproofing.

  • "Safety". To attach the bitumen membrane, mastic is used, which is applied to the lower edge of the material. It is fixed along the top, as well as on the sides, using roofing nails. The fastening pitch is 100 mm. The overlaps are also glued with mastic.
  • "Icebar". SBS bitumen membrane is a self-adhesive, self-sealing material. After laying, a metal roller is passed over it to improve the quality of the fit.

  Roof components require special attention.

  On roof slopes with a slope of up to 30°, waterproofing is laid along the entire slope. The underlay carpet is installed parallel to the cornice with a transverse overlap of 200 mm and a longitudinal overlap of 100 mm.

  For large angles of inclination, waterproofing material is laid in two rows along the eaves overhang, as well as in all problem areas, chimney exits and ventilation shafts, around attic windows.

  Laying the covering

  Tegola roofing is cut without much effort, it easily takes the required shape, it is quite simple to adjust. A cleaner cut is ensured by using a knife with a hook-shaped blade.

When choosing finishing materials for the roof, experienced specialists pay attention to several factors. The main ones are: product quality, performance characteristics, ease of installation and attractive appearance. Tegola's soft roof meets all the above requirements one hundred percent. All that is required from the master is the choice of color scheme and form of execution of the elements, as well as installation in relation to the previously selected technology.

Bituminous shingles or soft roofing is a modern building finishing material based on fiberglass, supplemented with modified bitumen.

The roof has good hydrophobic characteristics and is not subject to corrosion and rotting. The main advantage of a soft roof is the ability to use it on any relief areas, since the material easily takes the desired shape and is characterized by good tightness of butt joints. The use of soft roofing on domes and onion roofs is especially important.

High-quality asphalt shingles are made from fiberglass, which is highly dense. Fiberglass makes the product elastic, durable and frost-resistant. The main material for the manufacture of soft roofing is natural bitumen, additionally enriched with oxygen inclusions. Some manufacturers make soft roofing from modified bitumen. This substance consists of bitumen with polymer additives that improve the coating’s resistance to temperature changes. Bitumen shingles based on modified bitumen have a longer service life.

Additionally, the soft roof is sprinkled with granulate - crushed stone, most often based on basalt. This coating protects the tiles from solar radiation, mechanical damage, improves the strength and aesthetic appeal of the material.

When choosing bitumen shingles, first of all, pay attention to the strength of the material; the granules should adhere well to the surface without falling off it. We suggest considering a number of requirements for high-quality bitumen shingles:

• high level of fire safety;
• attractive appearance;
• variety of design and color solutions;
• ease of installation;
• quality composition;
• long service life;
• resistance to temperature fluctuations and ultraviolet radiation;
• affordable price.

Considering all these indicators, Tegola soft roofing is an excellent option for roof finishing. Affordable cost is combined with good quality and ease of installation.

Features of Tegola soft roofing

Tegola soft roofing is a universal material for finishing residential, commercial and administrative buildings. With its help, relief roofs of any complexity are created. Tegola has an attractive appearance, original design and long service life.

The products are manufactured in Italy and have all the certificates confirming high quality. Distinctive features of Tegola soft roofing:

• economical use;
• ease of installation;
• product certification;
• environmental Safety;
• resistance to adverse environmental influences;
• attractive design.

The tiles consist of modified bitumen, which significantly improves the performance properties of the material. Pure glass fiber is used as a reinforcing layer, ensuring environmental safety of the materials. The strength indicators of Tegola bitumen shingles, compared to other manufacturers, are one third higher, this is explained by the secret reinforcement technology.

Natural bitumen is used to impregnate fiberglass, which gives the product durability, practicality and resistance to corrosion. Roofing materials are also resistant to sudden temperature fluctuations, precipitation, and ultraviolet radiation.

The tiles do not change color throughout their entire service life. This quality is achieved by ceramizing basalt-based granules. In the production process, three types of granules are used, in relation to the sizes: large, small and medium, this ensures tight sealing of the roofing material and long service life.

Structure and structure of Tegola soft tiles

Tegola bituminous shingles are a multilayer material. Basalt granulate with a ceramized structure performs a protective function. Its main characteristic is moisture resistance. Firing under high temperature improves the quality of the stone. The unique technology allows color pigments to be fixed in such a way that the roof does not fade throughout its entire service life.

Basalt-based granulate reliably protects the coating from mechanical stress and ultraviolet radiation. Each shingle is evenly coated with three sizes of granulate.

The next layer is bitumen. In the production of Tegola soft tiles, exclusively high quality materials are used. Venezuelan bitumen has unique mechanical properties. The transformed molecular structure improves strength characteristics, gives additional hydrophobicity, flexibility and elasticity. Tegola soft roofing is suitable for both southern and northern latitudes.

Fiberglass is also used in the production process. This material is the core of the shingles. The special recipe guarantees a high interweaving of glass fibers. A special resin ensures the connection of bitumen with fiberglass.

Among the advantages of Tegola soft tiles, we note:

• moisture resistance - through such a roof moisture will not get into your house;
• color fastness - does not fade under the influence of ultraviolet radiation;
• environmental safety - although the roof is located outside, this factor is still especially important in the process of building a house, the material is made from natural and safe substances;
• resistance to wind loads and precipitation;
• special bitumen strips that ensure high-quality gluing of tiles and high tightness;
• light weight, so the coating does not require reinforcement of the rafter system;

• the multilayer structure has good performance characteristics;
• detailed waterproofing system;
• resistance to changes in temperature;
• good sound and heat insulation characteristics;
• convenient transportation;
• complete tightness of roofing systems;
• installation on any roof configuration;
• varied color palette.

The high popularity of Tegola soft roofing is explained by the above-mentioned advantages of this material. Manufacturers are constantly developing new model ranges and color solutions. The elasticity of the material prevents damage to the roof even when the building shrinks.

Design solutions for Tegola soft roofing

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the features of various model ranges of Italian soft roofing Tegola:

It tolerates temperature fluctuations and adverse weather conditions very well. The material does not lose elasticity even when exposed to severe frosts. The tiles have a special oval shape, which gives the structure a touch of classicism.

This collection has the shape of hexagonal petals, the upper part of which is covered with a self-adhesive component. Thus, the strength of the tile joint and the moisture resistance of the coating are improved. The appearance of the tiles is distinguished by iridescent shades and mosaic patterns.

Tegola from the Alpin series is distinguished by a high-quality ceramized coating that prevents the destruction of the material under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. For the Alpin model, exclusive granules are used. Inorganic color pigments are used to color each granule, and ceramization is used to improve the durability of the coating. Next comes the process of glazing the granules, which are susceptible to temperature influence.

The model has an unusual appearance; during the installation of the tiles, the parts are laid with a large overlap. Thus, it is possible to achieve the effect of a volumetric roof that organically fits into any exterior. There are four color options for this model.

Tegola's detailed roof installation technology ensures the speed and ease of this process. Work should begin by determining the parameters and shape of the roof, as well as by drawing up an installation diagram for the soft roof.

The high elasticity of the tiles ensures ease of installation. Initially, prepare a smooth and solid base. Most often, it is made of wood. Waterproofing material is laid on the wooden sheathing.

Pay special attention to the temperature regime. The minimum temperature is +6 degrees. At lower rates, it is necessary to constantly heat the bitumen with special devices.

Do-it-yourself installation of soft tiles begins from the bottom edge, gradually moving to the top. the first row is formed using special truncated petals. The next rows are laid with a slight overlap. To improve the strength characteristics of the coating, the tiles are fixed with special fasteners in the form of nails with large heads. Four fasteners are required to secure one sheet. A compensation gap of two millimeters is maintained between the sheets. Particular attention is paid to the ridge zone; in these places the sheets should be connected as tightly as possible.

Do-it-yourself installation of Tegola soft tiles

The base for installing the Tegola roof must be absolutely flat. This can be a wooden surface or a concrete surface, with a maximum allowable difference of two millimeters. In addition, the following requirements for the foundation are distinguished:

• minimum humidity;
• purity.

If the work of laying the coating is carried out in the winter season, then a construction hair dryer is used to heat the bitumen layer. Tegola soft roofing can be cut using any cutting tools. Although, according to the advice of experts, ideal evenness can be achieved by using a knife with a hook-shaped blade.

The sequence of installation work for working with Tegola bitumen shingles:

1. Laying the initial row with special sheets.

2. Fixing the bottom row with mastic, fastening the top row with nails.

3. Laying rows in relation to the diagram while maintaining the required offset.

4. Fastening each sheet with four nails.

5. Laying the material on the sides is done in such a way as to bend the tiles and fix them on the other side.

During the installation process, you will need tools in the form of:

• tape measure and pencil;
• spatula and gun;
• hammer;
• construction hair dryer;
• metal scissors.

Pay special attention to marking the roof; the quality of the work performed depends on the correct execution of this process. The next stage is laying roll waterproofing. When the roof slope is more than thirty degrees, the waterproofing is installed parallel to the cornice.

Next comes the installation of the first row; read the instructions for the specifics of this process. Since each manufacturer produces the first row in relation to individual technology. The tiles are laid directly onto the waterproofing.

Pay special attention to the ridge zone; in these places it is recommended to heat the tiles for a more airtight fit. Lay tiles in relation to the direction of the wind.
