Four ways to ensure the safety of installation and operation of the roof with any angle of inclination
Our article has emerged thanks to the writing season. It said: "I am building a house with a complex acute-angular roof and going to cover it now with a bituminous tile. But the workers of my ideas refuse to exercise, explaining that they simply do not resist on the slopes with a bias of 45-60. Work on such a roof? " We tried to find such devices.
Reply to the question asked by the reader turned out to be simple, and at the same time difficult. Simple- because almost all major foreign firms producing soft bitumen tiles, complete with it offer many finished fixtures that allow working on roofing with almost any angle of inclination. Astanstension is that such technical means can be used without any problems where they are produced abroad. No dealer supplies them to the Russian market: these are only necessary for the installation of the device are quite expensive (1500-3000 rubles), and therefore only professionals can afford it. The result is neither private developers nor they hire the builders do not even suspect the existence of these devices and are forced to seek the answer to the question of what to stand when installing soft tiles. We will talk about some decisions found by such "inventors." However, they do not want to limit them to the transfer. Common sense suggests that it is notable to remind one more problem associated with metal-elements for a roof covered with bitumen tiles. This applies to operation. Strict European requirements do not allow to introduce a house in order if there are no components of the security system on its roof: snowstores, hooks, bridges IT.D. Av Russia can handle the roof owner and without all this. However, we would not advise saving on the listed components. Even if you are not afraid of the threat of avalanche-like snow or ice from the roof, think at least about how to save it for a long time. Perhaps tomorrow will come to install a satellite antenna on your roof. A week later, you will need to clean the ventilation riser. Another mixed pipe. Judged from specialists solving these tasks will climb on the roof, rubbing and tile. So that it does not happen, it is worth leaving the metal-elements used on the roof, with such a calculation, so that, laying on them the boards, it was possible to calmly get to the chimney, and to the satellite antenna. Asseta is better to establish near each of the devices located on the roof, the segments of the so-called transition bridge, turning them into the service site. The costs of them are not too large - from 2 thousand rubles. For 1 p. M, while they will significantly extend the life of your roof.
Option One: Studying a worker, laying tile, in sneakers with a non-slip sole. This solution is suitable for roofs with a slope of not more than 30, and only under the condition that the person is bound by an insuruction cable. The disadvantage of this option is that the working shoes will leave on the coating of dents (especially in hot weather), as well as to rip the mineral sputter from the surface of the tile.
Option Second: Fasten on the surface of the laid tile rails with a step 60-80cm. How do it do? Sticking the next row, the film, covering the self-adhesive back side, is not entirely removed, and so that it remains on the "petals", and not at all, but through one. Then the "petals", on which the film is preserved, flex and under them nails or self-draws are attached to the roof of the cross section of 5020-5050cm (the higher the barrel, the better). The next row of bars is fixed at a distance of 60-80cm from the previous one, and gradually the "staircase" is formed on the slope in its entire width. Having finished the installation of the tiles, the bars are removed, and the bent "petals", removing the preserved film, are glued to the place (adhesive can be used). The cons of this option is the same dents and encouraged mineral crumb, but no longer over the entire surface of the roof, but only along the bars.
Option third. From cropping boards, triangles are manufactured, to one of the cathets of which are attached to the metal strip. Its ending it is bend and attached to the hypotenuse (this will reduce the risk that the triangle is torn away from the plate), the second is left straight and nailed to the roof under the bent "petal", as in the second version. These elements are attached to the roof with rows with a step of 1.5-3m in the width of the row, and then the boards are placed on them, the leg is quite wide for them. The thickness of these boards defines the pitch of triangles in the width of the row, the boards are thicker, the smaller the triangles need. The step "steps" along the length of the skate can vary in the range of 0.8-1.2m. After completing the installation of the tiles, the "steps" are cleaned, and the "petals" are glued into place.
When using this option, the roof is spoiled significantly less than in the two preceding cases. However, there is a chance that the strip under the influence of the torque resulting as a result of the operation of the load will gradually break away from the triangle or roof. This must be constantly remembered.
"Peel World" Option fourth. It is very similar to the previous one, but elements are used as the board holders, pre-made from metal strips (corners) and sheets. This solution is characterized by a high speed of installation "steps", moreover, it is more secure: here it will not break the bar under load, and the board will not eaten from the supporting area of the triangle due to the limiter. The lack of one way to make metal power elements is not easy. Therefore, you can try to replace them with powerful metal brackets intended for fastening with sneakener grids on roofing of ceramic tiles (400-800 rub. For 1 pc.). Much cheaper (from 40rub. For 1 pc.) Point snowstores will cost, specially designed for roofing soft tiles. They are a band bent at the bottom end so that a triangle has formed. Very high loads such elements may not be sustained, but the weight of the worker is quite bye.
