Half-hip roof itself
Each owner of his private house wants his home to be not only reliable, durable and comfortable, but also aesthetically attractive. And in this respect, the roof construction option plays an important role. Of course, the question of what is considered beautiful is purely individual, but at the same time there are universal options for the shape of the roof, equally suitable for both large mansions and small country houses. Perhaps, it is precisely to such a variant of the roof construction that the half-hipped roof can be attributed.
Why a half-gummed roof
The issues of preliminary preparation for the construction of a half-folded roof should be approached with full responsibility:
- For roofing work it is necessary to choose only high-quality materials.
- At installation of a roof it is necessary to observe the maximum care.
- Before carrying out direct work, it is necessary to draw up a detailed drawing of the future construction and to carry out a preliminary calculation of the amount of materials needed.
The above preparation rules are relevant for the construction of roofs of any shape, but this is especially the case when the choice fell on a half-fallen roof.
The half-hinged roof is a kind of symbiosis, which combines the visual and operational characteristics of a conventional dual-slope roof and the so-called hip, that is, multi-skid. This roof design is most appropriate in areas with strong winds that will inevitably put pressure on the roof and the more streamlined its shape is, the less negative impact will be. Moreover, with the half-hinged form of the roof, it is possible to significantly expand the attic space and turn it into an additional dwelling or utility room.
It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that if you are interested in how to make a half-hinged roof with your own hands, then you need to be aware that this form of roofing is quite complex and you will hardly be able to make it yourself. Rather, the very construction of the truss system, with subsequent roofing work is still possible, but before they can be completed, a detailed scheme must be drawn, and these works should best be entrusted to specialists, since even minimal errors at the design stage are unacceptable. And with regards to the installation work, it should be said that it is more expedient to turn to the services of professionals. However, at the same time, theoretical knowledge of the main stages of the construction of this roof will be far from superfluous, in order to be able to speak with the workers "in the same language".
Stages of construction
- На первоначальном этапе сооружения полувальмовой крыши по периметру стен необходимо обустроить бетонную стяжку, в которую вертикально монтируют резьбовые шпильки, имеющие диаметр от 10 мм. Расстояние между ними выбирается произвольно, но примерно оно должно составлять 100-120 см. Сверху на эти шпильки укладывается несущий брус, который закрепляется гайками. Reward готов.
- Then it is necessary to make installation nashlonnyh and hanging rafters. Hanging rafters are installed on the outer walls, to harden the design perform the tightening and connect the rafter legs. One end of the slant rafters should have an external wall as a support, and the other end either a specially built support or an internal wall.
- The rafters are connected with a ridge girder, the rafters of the hip roof elements are attached to the rafter elements of the gable roof.
- Intermediate rafters set taking into account the width of the insulation. Then carry out the installation of transverse beams.
Properties
Speaking of this type of roof structure, as a half-hinged, it is necessary to distinguish a number of its operational characteristics.
- When building such a roof, you can make the most of the space that forms under the roof. And also a few to expand it and make it more suitable for living.
- This form of roof is much more resistant to wind loads, therefore, suitable for equipment in areas with strong winds.
- The half-hinged roof looks quite original and aesthetically pleasing. Able to emphasize individuality and highlight the structure.
- This type of roof construction combines the qualities of a dual-slope and a hip variant.
After the installation of the truss system is completed, you can proceed to the implementation of heat and waterproofing works. Layers of insulating materials must be consistently laid on the sheathing rafters and securely fasten. At the modern construction market there is a rather extensive choice of various materials and there is a choice to make from what. By the way, if there is an irresistible desire to certainly have a hand in carrying out the work, then it is the laying of insulating materials that allows it to be appeased. This work does not require special knowledge. After the layers of insulating materials are laid, you can begin to work on the laying of roofing material.
Note! Due to the fact that the semi-hinged roof has a rather complicated structure, the material consumption may be somewhat larger than a simple gable roof, and this factor must be taken into account during the planning and calculation of the amount of materials.
Summing up the above, it can be noted that before making a choice in favor of a half-gummed or some other form of roof construction, it is necessary to become familiar with the photo and video materials on this topic. To have as much as possible a detailed idea of the upcoming work and the opportunity to look at the final result.
