Installation of keramoplast do it yourself

In connection with the development of technical progress in the field of construction, the range of roofing materials expands every year on the market. They are characterized by durability, strength, and most importantly - ease of installation and environmental friendliness. Among the large selection of materials is to highlight keramoplast, which has not only good performance properties, but also looks beautiful. Installation of ceramoplast with your own hands can be done even by a non-specialist.

What is the material

Keramoplast appeared on the market not so long ago, but is already very popular due to its characteristics.

Environmental friendliness

In the process of material production, specialists use natural components of natural origin and synthetic substances. The correct combination of components allows you to produce environmentally friendly material, which compares favorably to other types of roofing. During operation, it does not adversely affect people's health and retains its qualities for a long time.

Wide selection

If desired, you can choose the color of the material, which corresponds to individual preferences and is combined with the general mood of the house. If there is a desire to stand out, to make the roof unique and original, you can decorate it with a pattern or ornament, which will be beneficial to emphasize the taste of the owners.

Strength

If you prefer ceramoplast, you can not worry about wind and snow load on the roof, as its natural minerals guarantee the strength of the structure, regardless of disasters. Due to the low weight of the material, the pressure on the structure and foundation is reduced.

The material has excellent resistance to ultraviolet rays.

Easy installation

Following the step-by-step instructions, it is easy to install the ceramoplast. You can do this work without much effort.

Step by step installation instructions for the roof

• First of all, before you start laying the ceramoplast, you should run the crate along the rafters. They are presented in the form of boards, with a section of 150? 150 mm, and a step - 600 mm. To make the crate, you should give preference to beams, the cross section of which reaches 150? 25 mm. Laying perform adhering to a step of 380 cm, regardless of the angle of the slope of the roof.
• The next item is the treatment of all wooden structures with antiseptic preparations and fire-resistant solutions.

• To prevent the accumulation of condensate on the system rafters stack waterproofing layer.
• Keramoplast laying starts from the side opposite to the main facade of the house. This is necessary in order to hide the joints of the vertical seams. As a result, the roof will look like a seamless fabric.
• The work will be performed horizontally, taking into account the main wind direction in the region.

• In order to understand how to cover the roof of the house, characterized by a large area, ceramoplast, It is important to be guided by expert advice. First stack the first row, and then proceed to the extreme side, moving vertically. Then you can work with the remaining rows, focusing on the lower and side rows.
• Laying can be done by standard or zigzag principle. The first option involves the installation of sheets in a staggered manner, when the sheets do not shift. As a result, at the junction there are four sheets that overlap. Some experts advise to subject the corners to cutting, so that the layer does not come out thick, and the design remains unchanged. Laying the roof without offset angle, the sheets will need to be cut. It is worth remembering the angle of trimming, which is 45? C.

Zigzag method involves laying sheets in the second row with an offset of 1/2 sheet. Because the joint on one row is located in the middle of the sheet next row. If you prefer this method, you do not have to cut the sheets.

Mounts

During the installation of ceramoplast, the initial fastenings are carried out with the help of two mounting screws. Fastening is carried out in the center of the batten board. The guideline is a thread stretched across the crate, along which it will be much easier to fasten parts. Work is performed with notched nails. It is necessary to fix the first sheet using fastening details in the amount of 30 pieces. For fixing the following sheets 20 fasteners are required.

To prevent deformation of sheets during temperature changes, on the crest of the wave, in place of the fastener, you can make a hole whose diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the fastener.

Having finished laying the material, you can proceed to the installation of the ridge, which is attached to the joint area of ​​the two slopes of the roof. The peculiarity of the fastening is that the first row of ceramoplast fasteners must be closed with a skate wing. Fastening carry twelve nails.

If you need to change the angle of the ridge area of ​​the roof, it can be heated with a construction dryer from the inside of the structure. An alternative to a hair dryer can be a blowtorch. Warming up is carried out to a temperature of 50? C, which will allow to bend the sheet to the desired angle.

To completely seal the roof (to prevent precipitation and dirt from falling under the roof), wind slats are attached from the end.
