Do-it-yourself multi-tip roof - types, design and
Building their own house, people care not only about the functionality and practicality of design solutions, but about the aesthetic side of the issue, therefore, roofing often results in a complex and expensive process due to the complexity of its shape. The multi-chiseled roof is one of the most complex and labor-intensive types of roofing structures, which is nevertheless often used in the construction of private houses, thanks to the original appearance. However, every experienced master knows how many difficulties are fraught with the installation of such a roof, so it’s quite difficult to build it with your own hands.
Special features
Multi-roof roof is a complex structure, which consists of several conjugate roofs, because it has more than two gables and more than two slopes. A house with such a roof resembles a fabulous tower or a palace. Despite the complicated installation and a large amount of resources spent on the device, such a constructive solution is often used in private housing because of the high decorative effect. The construction of a multicortized roof is performed in the following cases:
- Initially. Then, when creating a project, an accurate calculation of the roof loads is performed, a truss framework is created, and then installation takes place directly.
- With the reconstruction of buildings. The house often grows with its owners, as needed, supplemented with the necessary living space. In order to “make friends” the roof of the main structure and extension, the installation of a multi-girder roof structure is carried out.
- When organizing vertical lighting attic. The device of a multi-gable roof is carried out in order to refuse expensive dormer windows in favor of more accessible ordinary ones.
- In the construction of buildings of complex layout. If the house has a lot of rooms or a complex shape, then the multi-tong construction allows for a more aesthetic overlap.
Note! The roof consisting of 2-3 forceps weighs more than usual, so before starting to assemble the structure, an accurate calculation of its weight is performed. Based on these calculations, they determine the load that will lie on the foundation of the structure, and whether it will sustain such a weight.
Device
The multi-tip roof is not much different from the usual one, its roofing pie also consists of a truss frame, topcoat, insulation and waterproofing. However, due to its unusual shape, additional elements appear in the construction, which increase the complexity of installation. The roof structure of this type consists of the following parts:
- Mauerlata. Mauerlat timber is an element of the rafter frame of the roof, which fits on the upper belt of the supporting walls, where the ramps are laid. Its function is to distribute the load on the weight of the structure, to soften the pressure, to prevent the rafters from tipping over.
- Rafters. Rafter legs are arranged in pairs along the ridge of the roof, forming the plane of the slope. They are located at an angle, thereby forming a roof slope.
- Endova. Endovoy is the internal angle formed at the junction of adjacent rays.
- Edge. The outer angle formed by the mating slopes, called the edge. Skate - a special case of the edge of the roof.
- Crate. Solid or sparse base of the boards or plywood is called crate, it is attached roofing.
Experienced roofers note that some elements of the roof frame of a multi-holed roof need additional reinforcement and waterproofing. In particular, the valleys and the ribs, due to the nature of the structure, are under increased stress and often cause leakage.
Virtues
Multichip roofing device отличается повышенной сложностью, однако, ее монтаж может принести пользу, если правильно выполнить расчет и определить уклон скатов. Такая конструкция обходится дороже, чем другие виды крыш, но ее оригинальный внешний вид сторицей окупают затраты. Virtuesми многощипцовых крыш считают:
- Space saving. The design of the multi-tongue type allows more rational than other types of roofs to use the roofing space for the organization of the attic.
- The possibility of using vertical lighting in the attic. If the house is equipped with an attic, then most often you have to install attic windows, which are expensive, but give little light. Vertical lighting mounted on additional tongs successfully solves this problem.
- Improved outflow of water and outfall of snow. Steep slopes allow snow and water to slide off the roof from the roof, facilitating its maintenance.
- Spectacular appearance. A house with a multicore roof favorably differs from similar “neighbors”, with the help of this architectural element it acquires individuality.
Take into account, a multi-roof, if correctly perform the calculation and installation, can withstand intense weight, wind and snow loads. However, many additional elements lead to the fact that it weighs more than other types of roofing.
disadvantages
A multi-roof roof is rarely built with its own hands, since even at the design stage it requires special knowledge and certain experience. If other types of roofing can be made according to standard schemes and projects, then it requires an individual approach. The disadvantages of a multicore roof are:
- Large amount of waste. The device, the shape of the roof with a complex design forces to cut lumber and roofing in the installation process, because of which there is a lot of waste.
- Увеличение расхода материалов. Device такой кровли требует большего количества материалов, чем другие виды крыш, поэтому обходится дороже.
- The difficulty of creating a project and installation. If the house is being built with your own hands, it is better to make a simpler form of the roof, since it is too difficult to independently calculate and build a multi-tongue type.
Important! Experienced roofers consider the main drawback of polychip constructions to be a complex form, in the valley of which water and snow accumulate, leading to an increase in the load on the roof frame, and subsequently to leaks.
