How to lay shinglas tiles. Shinglas soft roof - a new standard of beauty and quality

Modern flexible tile is a unique roofing material with which you can bring any architectural idea to life, revive a country house and give a country cottage an elite look. And in this article we will consider all the advantages and disadvantages of the popular domestic bitumen shingles, which come from the Shinglas brand.

To begin with, you will be interested to know that the popular Shinglas soft roof is Russian-made. It is produced by the manufacturer of various building materials TechnoNIKOL, which is known to many for its roll-on welded roofing. And here the rule no longer works that domestic is always worse than foreign. Why? Now we'll figure it all out!

What is a flexible tile Shinglas?

So, let's first deal with the concepts so that you can understand what will be discussed next. So, the basis of the Shinglas tile is fiberglass, which provides the roofing material with sufficient elasticity and density. It is clear that the elasticity parameter directly affects the flexibility of the tile, and the final quality of the product depends on the density.

The base of the tile is covered on both sides with layers of bitumen (which is why soft tiles are called bituminous). The quality of the layer affects the elasticity of the material, wear resistance and water permeability. Next, the top and bottom layers of shingles. The top one is covered with basalt chips, which makes the product resistant to any weather conditions, plus decorative effect. And the lower layer of the tile is covered with a polymer mass and a protective layer, which should prevent further destruction of the roof sheets if some violations of the technology were made during the installation.

There is an adhesive strip underneath. Moreover, this is not just glue - it is a frost-resistant polymer mass that covers up to 60% of the shingle area and ensures reliable laying of roofing material. And finally, the protective layer is a silicone easily removable film that protects the sheets from sticking together.

As a topping for this tile, a special granulate is used, which is produced by Tegola. This is a basalt crumb of three fractions at once, i.e. the most durable and strong rock is used as raw material, which is not afraid of any weather conditions. And the granulate itself is pre-painted by high-temperature firing, so that the roofing does not change its color throughout the entire service life.

The main advantages of Shinglas

The main advantage of domestic shingles Shinglas is 100% tightness. But, of course, other indicators are also pleasing:

• Flexibility that allows you to equip the roof of the most complex configuration - from almost flat surfaces with a 12 ° slope to intricate domes.
• Light weight, and therefore there is no need to strengthen the rafters.
• Biological stability - neither corrosion nor decay threatens such a roof.
• Absolute water resistance and frost resistance. Such a roof does not absorb water at all due to its non-porous structure.
• Wind resistance is a wonderful roofing quality for the windiest areas, where ordinary corrugated board breaks in one jerk.
• Chemical resistance. Shinglas tile, thanks to its dressing and protective layers, easily tolerates both acid rain and salt ingress.
• Practical and cost-effective: low waste even at the most complex sites, affordable price and compactness valuable for transportation.

Impressive? But all this is due to the special production technology of Shinglas. And the new collection of three-layer tiles conquers at all:

Shinglas soft roof collections

In total, 22 colors, several types of shingle cuts and options for the number of layers are used to create various combinations of Shinglas soft tiles. For example, the most popular TechnoNIKOL Shinglas series are Jazz and Country. Novelties - two-layer tile "Rancho" and three-layer "Continent".

All series of flexible shingles Shinglas mainly differ in the mass of bitumen used and in the quality and color of the dressing. So, for example, the series "Ranch" is distinguished by simple colors, and "Jazz" and Country" are already for real connoisseurs of design, because they use more expensive dressing and the ability to create a bright pattern. As for the thickness of bitumen, it grows from the Ranch series to Jazz, which is why there is a difference in price.

If you are looking for a roofing material with soft, natural shades that will never go out of style, pay attention to the Country series. Here are seven model lines that bear the names of American states.

Tiles of the "Ultra" series are distinguished by unusual shapes and noticeable bright colors - blue, gray, green, red and brown. Such a roof is good for implementing a variety of design ideas.

But the Jazz series presents 7 types of spectacular imitation of a wide variety of architectural styles - from classic to modern. The thickness of this tile is quite large, and therefore the quality is one of the best series presented.

But we will talk about collections not only from the design side (color, texture, cutting), but also from the side of quality and durability. Therefore, all Shinglas collections are divided into three main groups: single-layer, two-layer and three-layer.

Single-layer tile Shinglas: neat style and practicality

A single-layer tile, as you already understood from the name, is a shingle glued to a solid base. The volume of such a roofing imitates a specially applied shadow. It looks good, and the only question is practicality.

Pay attention to the Samba series, which compares favorably with its bright colors:

On Jive, which is made according to noble classical motives:

And the popular quadrille:

Two-layer shingles Shinglas: 3D effect of volume

Multi-layer tiles are of the best quality, rich in color solutions, leave almost no waste and are easy to install. Such a tile will cost you 20-30% more than a regular single-layer one, but there are reasons for this. The main difference is in the manufacturing technology. In this case, several sheets of soft tiles are used, which are interconnected with bituminous mastic. Of course, the result is a completely new level of quality.

So, the advantages of a double tile are as follows:

• Durability. The warranty period for such a product is two to three times higher than for ordinary single-layer tiles.
• Reliability. It is clear that two layers of any material in terms of their technical performance are at least twice as good as one layer.
• Strength. It is no longer easy to damage such a roof, and certainly not an apple that has fallen from a tree.
• Ease of installation. Here, the layers are glued together in the factory, and therefore they do not need to be combined on the spot. This is a valuable item, as not all of us are aesthetes and not all of us have such a good eye to perfectly combine segments of different colors with each other.
• Design. Now you can see the volume, texture, and texture. Such a roof looks much more spectacular and more expensive than just a flat pasted image, even with a shadow. This type of soft roof is already more realistically called a tile, and not its imitation.

Two-layer tiles are also loved by professional exterior designers - for its volume, richness of color and texture. And for the fact that with its help it is quite easy to hide any flaws in the roof.

And two-layer tiles are almost indispensable when you need to cover a roof of complex shape, with all kinds of turrets and gables. But we know that modern architects have unlimited imagination!

Three-layer tile Shinglas: a new word in construction!

These tiles are the roofing of the future! Firstly, the upper third layer serves as an additional mechanical protection of the roof, and secondly, it allows you to achieve a stunning three-dimensional effect. See for yourself:

Subtleties and nuances of installation

Shinglas products can cover the roof even with a slope of less than 11 °, not to mention other angles of inclination. Moreover, it is possible to carry out the installation of this soft tile even in the cold season - you just need to hold the rolls in a warm room in advance so that they can be straightened.

What is good, the manufacturer TechnoNIKOL made sure that the adhesive base does not change its properties even at sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, it is possible to work with Shinglas tiles at negative temperatures, only you have to heat up the adhesive strip with a building hair dryer if the temperature drops below + 10 ° C.

And now let's take a closer look at all the subtleties and nuances of working with this roofing.

What will you have to deal with?

At the moment, many promotions from TechnoNIKOL are being held in Russia, where detailed master classes are held on the installation of soft tiles. As a result, sales increase significantly, because any person is inclined to purchase what he has already figured out in reality. And therefore, even in the remote corners of Russia, you can find old houses with new soft tiles - marketing is doing its job. But let's talk about the cons.

A significant disadvantage of Shinglas soft tiles from TechnoNIKOL, which can spoil the whole impression, is the need to choose colors yourself. Moreover, if you bought some series you liked at the same time, and then considered that it wasn’t enough, and after six months or a year you bought the same one, you can’t put them together. Because the shades will already be different, which will become noticeable. In addition, they come across different sometimes even in the same pack!

True, nimble consumers have found a way out. We buy 4-5 packs and just mix the colors. It turns out stylish, and no one will notice the difference. You have to be a designer! But many other manufacturers supply their products with ready-made colors, over which you do not need to rack your brains. Although who likes what.

Preparatory work

So, first of all, solve the issue of ventilation. So, if there is only a non-residential attic under the roof, ventilation is indispensable. This is important so that hot air does not collect under the roof in summer, and moisture can freely escape. You don’t want the rafters to get damp in just a couple of years, do you? Therefore, be sure to put a ventilation pipe above the level of the ridge. The fact is that shingles are almost as vapor-tight as roofing material.

If there is no need for waterproofing, then the vapor barrier cannot be forgotten - just stretch the film from the inside, under the roof.

Choosing a base

But what do you need to glue flexible tiles? For this purpose, even planed boards, OSB boards and moisture-resistant plywood are quite suitable. Such materials are not only durable, but also hold dynamic loads from nails well. But the usual lining cannot be used - it is easily split by thick nails, which have to be used to fasten the tiles. Moreover, plywood, due to its structure, in practice turns out to be much stronger than an ordinary board of the same thickness.

In any case, the main requirements for the base under the tiles are as follows:

• Absolute dryness - otherwise, then all the tiles will walk, and the solution to this problem will not be cheap.
• Rigidity - no deflection!
• Ideal evenness - such that the maximum difference in height within one square meter should not exceed 2 mm!
• Strength. Yes, shingles are light, but you can't forget about the snow, right? Remember how hard it is to remove snow on heavy days, and now imagine how much pressure it exerts with a layer of only 30 cm!

Make the rafter step 50 cm if you use a solid board, and 90 cm if you have plywood. Here is a good example:

Mounting technology

So, we proceed to laying the Shinglas soft roof, having previously laid a lining carpet on the finished base. In principle, any of those offered by the modern market is suitable here, but TechnoNIKOL itself advises taking Anderep Barrier or Anderep Prof brand carpets, because. they have a special propylene protective layer.

Although there is such a practice when the lining carpet is not laid over the entire roof, but only in the most problematic places - where there are junctions, around skylights and pipes:

But it’s better to do everything from the very beginning technologically correctly:

• Step 1. First, lay the lining carpet in the valley and fix with nails in 20 cm increments, and then mount in rows from the bottom up - so that they are parallel to the cornice, with an overlap of 10 cm in the longitudinal position and 20 cm in the transverse position.
• Step 2. Fix all edges of the lining carpet with nails at intervals of 15 cm, glue the seams with K-36 glue, and leave an additional overlap of 15 cm on the carpet in the valleys.
• Step 3. Installation of the Shinglas soft roof according to the rules is carried out from the bottom up, over the entire surface of the slopes. Then we glue and nail the tile itself.
• Step 4. Do not forget to remove the protective film from each tile. And that part of the tile that will be close to the gable overhang, additionally treat with special glue or mastic with a layer width of up to 12 cm.
• Step 5. We close the ridge with cornice tiles.
• Step 6. And now it is important to protect the edges of the base from rain and snow. Therefore, we mount metal cornice strips. They need to be laid with an overlap of 5 cm and hammered with three nails so that they flash through both planks. Fasten in a zigzag pattern, in 10 cm increments.
• Step 7. To protect the laid soft tiles from moisture during rain, lay an additional valley carpet along the valleys. Glue it along the edges and fix it with roofing nails in 10 cm increments.
• Step 8. If the angle of the roof slope is less than 12 °, then, in order to avoid leaks, lay the self-adhesive lining carpet in two layers, and increase the ventilation gap between the wooden base and the insulation to 80 mm.

We offer you two detailed master classes that will clearly explain everything to you:

That's all the difficulty. Feel free to purchase domestic tiles, and perform installation in accordance with all the rules. Then the result will surely please!

Flexible tile SHINGLAS is a modern flexible coating for pitched roofs produced by TECHNONICOL Corporation. Shinglas roofing has several shape options and many colors; it has found wide application in the construction of residential buildings, administrative and public buildings with pitched roofs, due to its durability, noise absorption, frost resistance and ease of installation.

The SHINGLAS tile is a multilayer material, the middle layer is made of fiberglass, it is treated on both sides with bitumen-polymer binders. Protective layers are provided above and below, basalt topping with coarse grains is used for the front layer, fine fraction topping is applied from below. On the lower finish coating, a self-adhesive layer of bitumen-polymer substance is provided, for the reliability of the installation of the coating, it is protected by an easily removable siliconized film. SHINGLAS multi-layer tile coating is used both for roofs with a cold attic and for mansards. Bearing structures can be metal, wood or reinforced concrete. Shinglas roofing requires a continuous sheathing and the laying of a special roll material that provides additional waterproofing. The attic similarly includes a lining layer, and flooring. Insulation is made with mineral wool insulation. A PVC hydro-windproof membrane is laid on top of the insulation; it allows air to pass through, but protects from wind and rain. From below, the insulation is also protected from evaporation from the underlying premises with a vapor barrier film. Shinglas tiles are used for pitched roofs, both when laying the primary coating, and when replacing an existing one. The slope of the roof must be 12° or more.. Installation of a shinglas soft roof includes several operations according to the instructions:

• fixing tiles of the material with roofing nails with broadened hats;
• gluing the material tiles together due to the self-adhesive layer;
• device for sealing roofing units using special mastic.

Roof base

The step of the lathing in wooden rafter roofs is taken in the range from 0.6 m to 1.5 m, the thickness of the base directly depends on it.

Rafter pitch / Lathing, mm	OSB-3 thickness	FSF plywood thickness, mm	Board thickness, mm
300	9	9	-
600	12	12	20
900	18	18	23
1200	21	21	30
1500	27	27	37

The instruction provides for several types of flooring:

• oriented strand board;
• moisture resistant plywood (FSF);
• grooved board, edged.

When installing flooring in winter, it is necessary to provide for expansion gaps due to the fact that at high temperatures such materials tend to expand. For a board 1.5 cm, for a large-panel base made of plywood and oriented boards 0.3 cm.

The laying of the shields must be carried out so that the seams between them do not coincide with each other, observe the run-up, fasten to the crate with self-tapping screws or nailed nails. All wooden structures are impregnated to protect against biological damage and fire protection.

If the installation of tiles is planned in winter or autumn, at temperatures from +5˚С and below, it is important to follow a number of rules:

• store the material in a heated room and feed it to the roof directly during the installation process;
• heat the adhesive layer with a building hair dryer before installation.

Material laying

The instruction for the installation of a flexible coating, in addition to the waterproofing carpet produced by TechnoNIKOL, provides for the installation of an additional carpet made of a special material of the OSGCh Barrier. It is a rolled, bituminous polymer material, which is glued to the flooring thanks to a self-adhesive layer. This may be necessary in places characteristic of leaks, such as valleys, cornices, frontal overhangs, ridges, ridges, places where communications pass through the roof. The material must be laid, observing certain rules:

• in the valley zone, the material is placed on both slopes of 50 cm each;
• along the cornice edge, the material is laid over the entire width of the overhang, with a spade of 60 cm in the direction of the ridge;
• along the valley, the material should be laid in a single sheet, without joints;
• if it is impossible to comply with the previous rule, the overlap must be at least 30 cm, with the material gluing together;
• additional carpets can be made from ordinary lining material, while it must be glued to the base using bituminous mastic.

The rest of the roof covering is covered with TechnoNICOL underlayment. The overlap of the tapes across the slope should be at least 10 cm, and along the slope at least 15 cm, the overlap points must be coated with bituminous mastic. The layout starts from below and gradually rises to the ridge, the material is laid parallel to the eaves. The material is fastened to a solid flooring with galvanized nails with a widened hat, fastening step 20–25 cm.
Overhangs are framed with cornice strips. Fastening is carried out with roofing nails to the flooring with a step of 12–15 cm. Gables are framed with end strips, they are fastened over the lining layer to the ends of the roof structures also with a step of 12–15 cm. fastened in increments of 0.2–0.3 cm.

SHINGLAS installation

For ease of installation, it will be useful to apply marking lines to the coating, they will help align the material when laying in both directions. The verticals are applied in increments of 1 meter, along the length of the ordinary tiles, and the distance between the horizontals is made equal to five heights of the material tile, which is 80 cm.
An ordinary flexible tile looks like a sheet of a certain shape, with dimensions of 1x0.335 m, with cutouts on one side imitating petal tiles. The number of nails with which the tiles are fastened increases with the increase in the angle of inclination of the roof.. The greater the angle of inclination, the more fasteners are used; for roofs with a slope of 45–90 degrees, an average of 2 times more nails are required than for roofs with a slope of 12–45 degrees. It is important to properly drive nails into the material, the head of the nail should not crush the material of the tile, the tie-in can cause damage. The distance from the edges to the fasteners should be 2-3 cm. The fastening points and the distance between the nails, depending on the shape of the tile sheet and the angle of inclination, can be seen in the figure. Dotted lines indicate the location of the adhesive layer.
It is important to follow the instructions for laying the material in order to achieve a correct coating. The starting strip is attached first along the cornice line. Usually, a special cornice-ridge tile is used, it has a rectangular shape and is universally suitable for both cornice and ridge. The strip can also be cut from ordinary ordinary tiles. The first row almost completely covers the first strip, it is attached 1–2 cm above it. Laying sheets from the center in both directions, it is convenient to carry out for more accurate alignment of the material. The next row of shinglas should be attached so that the bottom of the cut tiles in the next row is flush with the top edge of the tiles in the first row. By shifting to one side or the other relative to the previous tile by half a petal, all rows of the slope are performed. Where the tiles do not have a self-adhesive layer, along the edges of the roof, it is necessary to smear them with bituminous mastic by 10 cm. The tiles should not be brought to the edge of the gable plank by 2–3 cm.

A valley is a pairing of two slopes, which is an internal break in the coating. In the valley area, tiles are laid in the following order:

• if the slopes approaching the valley have different angles of inclination, the material is laid first on a more gentle slope, the tiles should cover the adjacent slope by 30 cm;
• each edge entering the opposite slope is fastened with nails;
• trimming of the material is carried out at a distance of several centimeters from the central axis of the valley towards a steeper slope;
• trimming is carried out for each tile, it is also necessary to coat the edge of each tile with bituminous mastic, in places where there is no adhesive layer.

The ridge is the junction of two roof slopes, which is an external fracture of the coating. Installation of tiles on the ridges of the coating is carried out in the following sequence:

• tiles of material adjacent to the ridge are trimmed to create a gap 0.5 cm wide;
• along the break, two lines are outlined, the width of the future ridge;
• tiles begin to be fixed from below, moving up, fastening is carried out with four nails, two on each side;
• the overlying tile should overlap the previous one by 5 cm and overlap the nails.

• Arrangement of the valley, ribs, ridge, domed roofs, junctions and penetrations

A roofing system coated with Shinglas bituminous tiles should consist of a continuous vapor barrier on the side of the room, thermal insulation of the required thickness, and a windproof film. The roof space must be ventilated. Without ventilation, damp fumes will accumulate in and above the insulation layer.

The color code on the packages of shingles is checked before laying, it must be the same. With the same code, a slight mismatch in shades is possible. To make it invisible, the material from several different packages is mixed. It is recommended to lay with diagonal stripes.

If the air temperature is below +5°C, laying the material is possible, but with some restrictions. Packages are kept in a warm room. They are lifted onto the roof in several pieces only before installation. Adhesive strips are recommended to be preheated. For this, a building hair dryer is used.

Trimming of shingles is performed on a rigid substrate (plywood sheet, board). Cutting must not be carried out on bituminous tiles that have already been laid (there is a risk of damage to them).

Packages with material are stored away from heat sources and not under direct sunlight. Heating is excluded so that the adhesive strips do not stick together with the siliconized film (it should be easily removed).

When storing packages on pallets, they are not stacked (each pallet is placed separately).

To ensure that the sheets of material are well separated from each other, each package is slightly bent, shaken before opening.

It is not recommended to walk on an already installed coating if the installation is carried out in sunny or humid, hot or cold weather (traces or stains may remain). Westmet engineers recommend leaving manholes to access the desired area on the roof.

materials

Bituminous tile Shinglas. Used as a base coat. There are more than 70 models in the catalog. Fitted according to the instructions below.

. Used for additional waterproofing and leveling of solid flooring, increase the life of the roofing system. The line includes:

• self-adhesive underlayment carpets of the ANDEREP ULTRA series. They are made of polyester, bitumen, the front surface - with a protective layer of mineral fine-grained dressing. Sprinkling increases the strength of the lining carpet. The base layer is SBS-modified bitumen, which impregnates the polyester base (used as a reinforcing layer for greater strength). The inner surface is adhesive, with a siliconized film, which is removed before installation;
• carpets with mechanical fastening. Universal carpet - ANDEREP PROF. Lightweight, the base is made of polyester, the main layer is bituminous impregnation, the front and inner surfaces are made of polypropylene, durable, non-slip. Can serve as a temporary roof up to 6 months. ANDEREP PROF PLUS: bitumen-impregnated polyester backing protected by a layer of Spunbond (non-woven polypropylene) on the outside and inside, additionally made with a self-adhesive edge (covered with a film before installation). ANDEREP GL, GL PLUS: fiberglass base impregnated with SBS-modified bitumen. The surface is protected by a layer of fine-grained dressing. On the surface there are thermoactive strips that stick together during operation, increasing the reliability of waterproofing. In the GL PLUS version, the edges are additionally protected with an adhesive layer.

Bituminous mastic is not used when laying carpets.

End carpet. It is used in valleys, at junction areas. Supplied in rolls. The basis - from polyester, reinforces a layer of the SBS-modified bitumen. The outer surface is a layer of colored basalt granules. The valley carpet is matched to the color of the roof, used in areas where the risk of leaks is increased.

Planks: adjoining, end, eaves, pediment. Used as accessories. Base - galvanized steel. Coating - polyester or granulate (protects against corrosion). When installing the roof, strips of the same color as the roofing are used.

Fasteners. TECHNONICOL completes bituminous tiles with roofing nails 45x3.5 or 30x3.5. Made of galvanized steel, have an annular knurling (five times more securely held in the flooring). The cap has been enlarged. After installation, the fastener caps are hidden by the petals of the overlying shingles.

Mastic. It is used for gluing shingles of bituminous tiles to the underlayment carpet, in areas of contiguity, laying valley carpets. TECHNONICOL №23 FIXER contains bitumen, polymers, solvents, fillers. It is a cold mastic (does not require heating before use).

. Air elements, aerators, TECHNONICOL valves are used to organize the removal of wet vapors from the under-roof space, and a sufficient amount of air is provided.

Auxiliary materials can be replaced by third party products provided they have similar characteristics.

Terminology

Flexible roof consumption rates

The useful coverage area is indicated on each package of material. For most cutting forms and collections, it is 3 m 2 /pack. Exceptions:

Mastic consumption

It differs for different nodes, sections:

• joints of lining carpet sheets - 100 g/r.m. m (mastic is used if the lining carpet does not have self-adhesive strips along the edges);
• valley carpet - 400 g/r.m. m (the edges are glued along the perimeter);
• adjoining - 750 g/rm. m (the edges are glued along the junction).

Observing the consumption rate, make sure that the mastic is applied in a thin layer (up to 1 mm). It is impossible to increase the thickness of the layer so that swelling does not form in the overlap areas.

Soft roof Shinglas from the well-known manufacturer TECHNONICOL is one of the modern bituminous materials with high performance characteristics. Its advantages include durability and attractive appearance, heat and noise insulation properties, tightness of the mounted coating and its resistance to external influences. Installation of a soft roof Shinglas can be done on its own - this is facilitated by the low weight of the material and the absence of the need for a specialized tool.

Flexible tile Shinglas

Structure and properties of the material

SHINGLAS roofing material is produced in the form of shingles with a figured edge - “petals”, which form the characteristic texture of the flooring, imitating the tiled roof and giving the building an original appearance.

The basis of the Shinglas material is a tear-resistant canvas made of fiberglass, resistant to temperature extremes, moisture and biological destruction. On both sides, a layer of modified bitumen is applied to the reinforcing base, which can not lose elasticity at low temperatures. This ensures the stability of the Shinglas roofing to cracking in frost and sudden changes in temperature.

The structure of shingles Shinglas

The outer coating is made of painted basalt chips with a binder composition, which protects the bitumen from external influences and gives an aesthetic appearance to the flooring. The pigments used in the manufacture of Shinglas shingles are sufficiently resistant to ultraviolet rays.

A special adhesive is applied to the lower part of the shingle, making it convenient to mount the sheet material on the prepared base. A special film protects the adhesive layer from contact with other shingles during storage and transportation; during the laying of the coating, the film is removed. The adhesive layer allows you to attach shingles and seals the coating, retains elasticity in cold weather, over the years its properties do not change.

Calculation principles

At the preparatory stage, it is necessary to calculate the required amount of material for arranging the roof. The total coverage area is easiest to calculate by summing up the area of ​​\u200b\u200bsimple figures into which any roof can be divided, regardless of the complexity of its shape.

The area of ​​each of the figures (rectangles, isosceles trapezoids, triangles) is calculated using standard geometric formulas. The material will be required not only for external flooring, but also for arranging various junctions and installing the lining layer. It is necessary to calculate the length of cornices, ridges, valleys, junctions with skylights, pipes and other structures, ends.

Among the materials also required for the installation of Shinglas shingles are:

• polymer-bitumen mastic, designed for gluing bitumen-based materials to various types of surfaces;
• roofing nails for shingles (galvanized);
• metal elements of the roof - eaves, wind, adjoining strips, provided with an anti-corrosion coating;
• lining self-adhesive materials - with a polyester base and an external protective and decorative dressing, baseless with an external reinforcing protective film;
• underlayment carpets (designed for mechanical fixation) - with a polyester base and a non-slip polypropylene coating, with the effect of self-tightening the fixing holes, as well as a carpet with double-sided mineral dressing;
• valley carpet - polyester base, bituminous layer equipped with basalt dressing, designed for waterproofing complex roof units;
• ventilation elements.

Scheme of laying soft tiles

The consumption of tiles depends on the type of cutting of the petals. The useful area of ​​the material is indicated on the packaging (including overlaps). Shingles waste can range from 5 to 15% depending on the configuration of the shingle.

About 80 g of roofing nails are consumed per 1 m 2 of the Shinglas roof. Installation of the valley carpet requires the use of mastic in the ratio of 400 g per 1 linear meter. For the end parts, you will need 100 g per 1 running meter; to seal the joints, 750 g of mastic per 1 running meter is needed.

Important! So that the carpet does not swell, unattractive smudges do not form, solvents should not be added to the mastic, the material should be applied in a layer no more than 1 mm thick.

Foundation preparation

The technology of laying Shinglas material provides for the arrangement of a continuous crate. To do this, a flooring made of high quality edged boards or sheet material - plywood, OSB-3 is mounted on the rafter system. The sheet material is laid apart to avoid the joints of the four corners, fastened to self-tapping screws or nailed nails. The boardwalk is mounted with a gap of up to 5 mm between the elements. A gap of 3-5 mm is also required if the work on fastening the crate is carried out in winter - in the future it compensates for the thermal expansion of the material.

Installation of soft roof SHINGLAS

Attention! If the edged board for solid purlins is not sized, it should be sorted by thickness in order to lay with a smooth change in size. The difference in height between adjacent base elements should not exceed 2 mm.

When mounting the flooring from the boards, pay attention to the annual rings: their convex side should be facing up. It is recommended to use well-dried lumber. If the wood is wet, each edge of the board is fixed with two self-tapping screws.

Before installation, the wooden elements of the roof are treated with a fire-retardant compound so that the structure lasts as long as possible.

Roof ventilation

For normal operation, the roofing system with shingles shingles must be well ventilated over the entire area. The arrangement of ventilation is carried out in such a way that there are no zones with stagnation of air in the intra-roof space. In the "dead zones" moisture accumulates, which provokes the development of rot in the wood, a set of moisture with a heater.

Arrangement of ventilation

The gap between the waterproofing and the crate should be ventilated. For this purpose, holes located at the eaves are used (after the installation of the roofing, they are covered with spotlights) and exhaust holes at the ridge. The cross section of the hood is 10-15% larger than the cross section of the ventilation hole in order to create a difference in pressure and provide effective traction. The size of the ventilation duct depends on the slope of the roof - the smaller the angle, the wider the duct should be.

Preparing to install the roof deck

A number of works are performed before laying flexible tiles, since Shinglas soft roof installation technology involves laying shingles after installing planks and arranging junctions.

Cornice. A drop bar is mounted on the edge of the cornice overhang, it is installed with an edge along the edge of the base and fixed with nails in increments of about 130 cm, with the exception of the joints - there the fasteners are located with an interval of 20-30 mm.

Lining layer. To prepare the base for laying Shinglas roofing material, it is necessary to waterproof the surface, as well as all joints and junctions of structures. For this purpose, a special lining carpet, self-adhesive bituminous cloth, bituminous mastic, nails are used.

Drip for soft roof

With a slope of 12-18 degrees in the valleys and on the cornices, sheets of self-adhesive bituminous material are attached, preferably solid, without joints. If this is not possible, shingles of flexible tiles with cut petals are laid and glued to the mastic with an overlap of at least 300 mm. There should be a gap of 20-30 mm on the eaves between the lining strip and the drip bar. The remaining free surface is covered with a lining carpet. Strips of material are mounted from the bottom up with a longitudinal overlap of 150 mm and a transverse overlap of 100 mm. Carnations are used for fastening, the step of installing fasteners is 200-250 mm.

With a slope of more than 18 degrees, an additional waterproofing layer is installed only in places with an increased risk of leaks. These include:

• Cornices. A self-adhesive bitumen sheet is laid along the eaves, its width must exceed the width of the overhang by 600 mm.
• Valleys. The same self-adhesive material is attached with a 50 cm approach to each slope. If there is no solid canvas, the overlaps should be at least 300 mm, they should be filled with bitumen.
• Ventilation outlets. A 100x100 mm square is mounted from the lining carpet, fixing it with nails in the corners and in increments of 200-250 mm.

Then the cornice strips are mounted - they are placed on top of the lining layer and fastened with nails with a step of attachment points of 100-150 mm. End strips are mounted according to the same principle. Scissors for metal are suitable for trimming parts.

Shinglas installation instructions will help create a durable and aesthetically pleasing coating. For roofing, it is desirable to use shingles from the same batch so that there are no sharp differences in tone within one roof slope. If using material with the same color code but from different batches, shingles from different packages must be mixed together before installation. This will make it possible to avoid a noticeable color imbalance.

Note! In order for the shingles to separate easily, before opening the package, the entire stack of sheets should be slightly bent and then shaken.

When installing the Shinglas roof in the cold season (outdoor temperature below + 5 ° C), it is required to store the packed material in a warm room. Before sticking the shingle, its adhesive layer is heated with a building hair dryer.

During the laying of Shingles, the material has to be trimmed. This should be done using a cutting tool with a sharp blade and a plank that is placed under the top shingle so as not to damage the bottom one.

Trimming

The shingle laying instructions state that the material should be stored out of direct sunlight so that the adhesive layer does not adhere to the protective film. It is forbidden to store pallets with packages on top of each other, so as not to compress the protective film and the adhesive layer into a single monolith.

Important! Roofing in hot weather softens and it is easy to leave marks on it when working on the roof. To prevent this from happening, special “holes” or mats made of plant fiber are used.

We mount ordinary tiles

Each shingle of an ordinary tile is fastened with roofing nails at four points (for roofs with slopes up to 45 °) or six points (for slopes with slopes over 45 °). It is important to drive the nails at a right angle, without sinking the head - it must remain in the same plane with the fixed shingle. The distance from the edge to the fastener is 2-3 cm.

The installation of ordinary shingles begins with the installation of the starting strip - it can be ridge-cornice shingles or ordinary shingles with cut petals. The strip should be laid 1-2 cm above the bend of the cornice strips, while the longer the slope and the steeper the slope angle, the more indentation is made.

Next, mount the bottom row of shingles. If the slope is not long, you can start from the corner. But it is more convenient to start from the middle, so that it is easier to align the row. Pay attention to the junction of the bottom row of shingles - it should not be at the junction of the parts of the starting strip.

The process of installation of soft tiles SHINGLAS

Shinglas shingles are mounted in diagonal ascending strips (pyramid) or vertical stripes. The elements of the second row are mounted, starting from the middle of the slope, shifting the shingle by half a petal compared to the first row. The bottom edge of the tab of the top shingle should meet the top edge of the cutout of the bottom course shingle. Laying the third row is carried out with an offset to the same half of the petal, and in the same direction.

For reliable fixation of the extreme shingles, they are smeared on the back side with bitumen-polymer mastic to a width of 10 cm from the edge. In order for moisture to flow better over the surface, their upper corners are cut off by 2-3 cm. Having completed the installation of ordinary tiles, they begin to fasten the ridge.

Conclusion

Using the recommendations for installation, you can independently make roofing from the modern material SHINGLAS. In order not to damage the roof during operation, use tools without sharp working parts to remove snow.

• Soft roof Shinglas (Shinglas) Ranch

  
  Flexible roof Shinglas Ranch is an affordable two-layer laminated tile that will not only perfectly fulfill its basic protective functions, but also give the roof a spectacular three-dimensional look. The dual structure of Shinglas Ranch increases the mechanical strength of the shingle and allows it to withstand significant climatic changes and wind loads.

Installation of flexible tiles SHINGLAS (TECHNONICOL SHINGLAS)

The main elements to ensure the normal temperature and humidity regime of the roof are vapor barrier, insulation of the required thickness (depending on the region), windproof material, ventilated under-roof space.

Flexible shingles with the same color codes and manufacturing dates should be used on the same roof. Shades of shingles from different batches may vary slightly. To avoid color imbalance, Euromet specialists recommend mixing tiles from several packages before installation. To make it easier to separate the shingles from each other, the package can be slightly bent and shaken before opening.

If the roof is being installed at a temperature below +5°C, the tiles must be stored in a warm room before installation. The self-adhesive layer of the material must be heated with a thermal (construction) hair dryer.

When cutting a soft roof, a special board should be placed under it so as not to damage the bottom coating.

During storage, Shinglas bituminous tiles should be protected from direct sunlight, since under their influence the adhesive layer can sinter with the protective film. Pallets with material cannot be stacked on top of each other.

You should not walk on the roofing in sunny and hot weather, it may leave marks and stains from shoes. It is recommended to move along the roof using special manholes.

Materials used

Flexible tile SHINGLAS differs from similar products of other Russian manufacturers in a wide range of colors and cutting shapes. Currently, about 50 different models of Shinglas shingles are presented on the domestic market.

Self-adhesive backing materials:

• ANDEREP ULTRA is a high strength, self-adhesive underlayment. High reliability of the material is achieved due to a strong polyester base and high-quality bitumen-polymer binder. The upper protective layer of the lining carpet is made of fine-grained sandy dressing.
• ANDEREP BARRIER is a baseless self-adhesive material. A thick reinforcing film is used as the top protective layer. The absence of a base allows you to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing material in case of deformation of the base.

Lining materials with mechanical fixation:

• ANDEREP PROF has a durable polyester backing and a non-slip polypropylene top cover. Thanks to a special bitumen-polymer mixture, the material can “self-heal”, that is, it maintains tightness at the points of entry of nails.
• ANDEREP GL is a lining material with two-sided protection of the polymer mixture by layers of fine-grained sandy dressing.

Valley carpet TechnoNIKOL

The TechnoNIKOL valley carpet is a rolled bitumen-polymer material. Made on the basis of polyester, has a protective coating of coarse-grained basalt granulate. It is used as a waterproofing layer in valleys and places that are subjected to the greatest loads.

Adjoining planks, eaves and gable overhangs

Metal elements with a special protective (anti-corrosion) coating.

roofing nails

Special galvanized nails are used. The diameter of the nail leg is from 3 mm, the caps are from 9 mm, the length is 25-30 mm.

Mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

Bitumen-polymer mastic for gluing shingles and other bitumen-based materials to various surfaces.

Ventilation elementsTechnoNIKOL

Elements for equipping the required number of supply and exhaust openings that provide under-roof ventilation.

Consumption of roofing material

Tiling. Each package of the Shinglas soft roof of the “Country” and “Jazz” series contains the amount of tiles sufficient to cover 2 m 2 of the roof (including overlaps). In packages of Shinglas shingles - for 3 m 2 of roofing. The calculation of the amount of material should be made taking into account the coefficient, the value of which depends on the complexity of the roof. The waste rate of bituminous tiles with cut shapes “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Dragon's tooth” together with ridge-cornice tiles is up to 5%. For the rest of the tiles, when calculating the amount of material, a waste rate of 10-15% should be taken into account (including the consumption for the starting strip, ridges and roof ribs).

Roofing nails. The required number of roofing nails is determined at the rate of approximately 80 g per 1 m 2 of the roof.

Mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER). 400 g of mastic per 1 rm is spent on the valley carpet, 100 g per 1 rm on the end parts, about 750 g per 1 rm for sealing the joints. 1 mm, this can lead to smudges and swelling of the material.

Preparing the roof base for installation

1. Device for laying under flexible tiles

Quite strict requirements are imposed on the base for soft tiles. It must be rigid, solid and even (differences in height of no more than 1-2 mm are allowed). Large-panel flooring is laid with a spacing of seams; self-tapping screws or nailed nails are used to fix it. When installing wooden flooring, you need to pay attention to fragments of annual rings and lay the material so that they are facing down with bulges. If the installation of the base from OSB-3 or plywood is carried out in the cold season, a gap of 3 mm should be left between the sheets. This will avoid deformation of the flooring during the thermal expansion of the material in the summer.

Before installing the plank flooring, it is necessary to pre-sort the boards by thickness. They are laid so that the thickness of the base changes gradually. At the same time, thicker boards are laid closer to the eaves, and thinner ones near the ridge. The joints of the boards should be located on supports, in these places the boards are fixed with at least 4 nails. If wet wood is used, the boards are fixed with 2 self-tapping screws on each side.

2. Strengthening the cornice overhang

To reinforce the cornice overhang, metal cornice strips are used. These elements protect the roofing material in the eaves zone from the effects of precipitation. Cornice strips are attached to the edge of a solid base with roofing nails. Nails are hammered in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 12-15 cm from each other. The planks are overlapped, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm. In the places of overlaps, nails are hammered in increments of 2-3 cm.

3. Installation of underlayment

The lining carpet for any slope of the roof is mounted over its entire area. In the area of ​​​​cornice overhangs and in valleys, ANDEREP self-adhesive lining material or other similar material is laid. It serves as an additional protective coating in areas of the most probable leaks.

On eaves overhangs, the width of the self-adhesive underlayment must be 60 cm greater than the width of the eaves. The width of the eave projection is measured from the plane of the inner side of the outer wall of the building, as shown in the figure. The bottom edge of the carpet should be 2-3 cm above the edge of the eaves strip.

In the valleys, a self-adhesive lining carpet 1 m wide is laid (each slope is covered by 50 cm). It is desirable that the carpet be continuous along the entire length of the valley. In the case of using two or more canvases, they are overlapped. The width of the overlaps should be 30 cm, the seams must be carefully glued.

The lining material with mechanical fixation ANDEREP or other similar material is mounted on the rest of the roof surface. Cloths are laid parallel to the cornice overhang. The installation of the lining carpet starts from the bottom of the roof slope and gradually moves up to the ridge. The width of the overlaps in the longitudinal direction must be 10 cm. The exception is organic backing materials (eg BiCARD). For them, when laying on a roof slope with a slope of up to 30 °, the width of the overlaps should be 60 cm, and if the slope is more than 30 ° - 10 cm. The overlaps of the sheets in the transverse direction are made 15 cm wide.

The lining carpet is fixed with wide-head galvanized nails, the nails are hammered at a distance of 20-25 cm from each other. Places of overlaps to a width of 8-10 cm are smeared with TechnoNICOL No. 23 mastic.

Note. When installing shingles SHINGLAS with cut shapes “Accord”, “Sonata”, “Trio”, “Beaver tail”, it is allowed to mount the lining material only in places where leaks are most likely. It is laid in strips 50 cm wide along the perimeter of the roof (and along the cornice overhangs up to 60 cm above the plane of the inner surface of the walls, see Fig.), 1 m wide in the valleys, 50 cm along the perimeter of the roof windows and 1x1 m around the passage elements. The terms and conditions of the warranty are subject to change and become the same as for products from other manufacturers. The climate in different regions of Russia differs significantly, therefore this note does not apply to all regions, but only to the Central Federal District, the Southern Federal District, the Volga Federal District, the Northwestern Federal District and the Northwestern Federal District.

4. Strengthening the gable overhangs

To strengthen the gable overhangs, metal end strips are used. They are fixed over the lining material with roofing nails in increments of 12-15 cm, the nails are hammered in a checkerboard pattern. The end planks are overlapped, the width of the overlaps should be 3-5 cm, in these places the nails are hammered in after 2-3 cm.

5. Preparing the valley

There are two ways to install Shinglas soft roof in valleys - open and “undercut” method. The preparation of the valley depends on which method will be used.

Along the axis of the valley (1), a TechnoNICOL valley carpet (3) is laid over the self-adhesive lining material (2) with a horizontal offset of 2-3 cm. On the underside, the valley carpet along the perimeter 10 cm from the edge is smeared with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic. When using the open method of arranging the valley, the valley carpet can be replaced with a metal strip with an anti-corrosion coating. This replacement is appropriate for regions with a hot climate. The valley carpet (or metal strip) is fixed with roofing nails, they are hammered at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge of the material in increments of 20-25 cm. It is desirable to lay a continuous (without overlap) valley carpet along the entire length of the valley. If this is not possible, parts of the carpet are overlapped. Overlaps are made 30 cm wide, the material in these places must be carefully glued.

When constructing a valley using the “undercutting” method, the valley carpet does not need to be installed.

6. Marking the roof slope

The markings are guide lines that, when laying soft tiles, help align it vertically and horizontally. This is especially true in the case of irregular geometry of the roof slope and the presence of any structures embedded in the roof. Vertical lines are applied in increments equal to the shingle width of an ordinary tile. 5 rows of material should be placed between the horizontal lines, so they are applied approximately 80 cm apart. It should be remembered that the marking performs only a guiding function, and is not a guideline for fixing the bituminous roof.

Installation of a soft roof Shinglas

Prior to installation, shingles from several packages are mixed or sheets are taken from them one by one.

If Shinglas is to be laid at a low temperature (below +5°C), the packages must be placed in a warm room (+20°C) for at least a day in advance. From there, several packages are served immediately before starting work. The self-adhesive strip on the tiles should be heated with a thermal (construction) hair dryer.

When working on a roof, the material should be cut on an underlay board so as not to damage the underlying roofing.

In sunny and hot weather, you should not walk on the laid roofing, as marks and stains may remain on it. You need to move along the roof through special manholes.

2. Rules for fixing ordinary tiles

Each tile shingle is fixed to the base with wide-head galvanized nails. The number of fasteners depends on the angle of inclination of the roof slope. With a slope of up to 45 °, each shingle is nailed with four nails, more than 45 ° - with six nails. Nails should be placed evenly and hammered in so that the caps do not cut into the surface of the soft roof, but are in the same plane with it (see Fig.).

The location of the fasteners for all forms of Shinglas cutting is shown in the figure. On both sides, the shingles are nailed at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edge.

3. Starting strip

For the starting strip, universal ridge-cornice shingles or shingles of ordinary soft shingles with cut petals are used.

Ridge-eaves shingles are used as a starting strip when laying Shinglas with the “Accord” and “Sonata” cutting shapes. It is laid on top of the cornice strips 1-2 cm above their inflection (see Fig.). The width of the indent from the bend of the cornice strips depends on the angle of the slope and the length of the roof slope. The longer and steeper the slope, the wider the indent should be.

When installing flexible shingles Shinglas with cutting forms “Beaver tail”, “Trio”, “Accord”, “Sonata”, shingles with cut petals are used for the starting strip. Before laying, their lower side in places where there is no adhesive layer should be smeared with TechnoNIKOL mastic. Patterns from ordinary tiles are mounted in the same way as ridge-eaves tiles.

The starting strip for sheets with the “Dragon tooth” cutting shape is made from shingles of an ordinary tile, it is not necessary to cut them. Their laying is carried out similarly to ridge-eaves tiles.

4. Laying the first, second and subsequent rows of tiles

On long roof slopes, it is recommended to start laying the material from the middle of the slope, this will facilitate its horizontal leveling. 1-2 cm recede from the initial (central) strip and the first shingle is mounted (see Fig.). At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that the junction of the shingles of the first row of tiles does not coincide with the junction of the elements of the starting strip.

Mounting must be done with diagonal stripes (see fig.).

Depending on the shape of the cut, the laying of soft roofing can be carried out in diagonal stripes, in the form of a pyramid or a vertical strip (see pictures). The shingles of the second row begin to be laid from the middle of the slope, with a horizontal offset in any direction by half a petal relative to the tiles of the first row. In this case, the lower edge of the petals of the tiles of the second row should be located at the level of the upper edge of the cutouts on the shingles of the first row.

Sheets of the third row are mounted with an offset of half a petal relative to the shingles of the second row in the same direction as when laying the previous row.

It is recommended to smear the extreme shingles of ordinary tiles in places where there is no adhesive layer with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic to a width of 10 cm from the edge of the roof. Their upper corners are cut off by 2-3 cm for more efficient water rebound.

Note: The soft roof of Shinglas of the “Jazz” series is laid with an offset of 15-85 cm relative to the previous row. In this case, there is no need to adhere to a special order, the overall pattern should turn out to be abstract (see Fig.).

5. Device valley

In the region of the valley, ordinary tiles are mounted on top of the valley carpet on two roof slopes (see Fig.). Each shingle suitable for the valley is additionally fixed in the upper part with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). Then, with the help of laces, two lines are beaten off (3). Ordinary tiles are cut along these lines, having previously placed a plank under it so as not to damage the valley carpet. The upper corners of the shingles suitable for the line 3 are cut to break the water (4). On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the bituminous roof is smeared 10 cm from the undercut line with TechnoNICOL mastic (5).

The width of the valley gutter depends on the location of the building and the size of the watercourse from the roof slopes, it can be from 5 to 15 cm. If the building is located among trees (for example, in a forest), then the gutter is made wider to facilitate the removal of leaves. With a significantly different watercourse from the slopes, in order to prevent the roofing material from being washed away with water, the gutters of the valley are shifted towards a smaller watercourse.

When constructing a valley using the “undercutting” method, first the level shingles are laid on a slope, which has a smaller slope angle (see Fig.). In this case, sheets of ordinary tiles should go onto a steeper slope by at least 30 cm. In the upper part, each shingle is additionally fixed with roofing nails (2) at a distance of at least 30 cm from the axis of the valley (1). When the slope with a smaller slope is completely covered, the tiles are laid on the second slope. On a steeper roofing slope, at a distance of 7-8 cm from the axis of the valley, a line (3) is beaten off. Sheets are cut along this line, suitable for the valley from a steeper slope (it is recommended to fit a plank under it so as not to damage the underlying material). The upper corners of the extreme shingles are cut to rebound water (4). On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, these shingles are smeared to a width of 10 cm with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic (5).

6. Arrangement of ribs for skates and skates

When applying this method, ridge-cornice tiles are used. Previously, it is divided into three parts by perforation. Ridge-cornice tiles are used when installing soft roofs Shinglas "Accord", "Sonata", "Dragon's Tooth".

Edge. The shingles facing the edge are cut so that a gap of 0.5 cm wide remains between the tiles from adjacent slopes. Two reference lines are beaten off along the edge with the help of laces. Lay flexible tiles on the edge in the direction from the bottom up. The elements are mounted with an overlap, the overlaps should be 3-5 cm wide. Euromet recommends fixing each shingle with four nails (2 on each side) so that the top one covers the fasteners of the underlying one.

Skate. Soft roofing on the ridge begins to be laid from the side opposite to the direction of the prevailing winds in the area. Its installation is carried out similarly to the installation of tiles on the edges of the roof.

When using shinglas shingles with Trio, Sonata, Dragon Tooth, Beaver Tail shingles, the elements to cover the ridge and ribs can be cut from the shingles of ordinary shingles. For the “Sonata” cutting form, its upper part will be visible, and its lower part will be closed (see fig.)

On the underside, in places where there is no adhesive layer, the elements are smeared with TechnoNICOL mastic before laying. Shelter of ridges and ribs with patterns from ordinary tiles is carried out in the same way as with ridge-cornice tiles.

Important: When installing the Shinglas soft roof of the “Country”, “Classic”, “Jazz”, “Finnish tiles” series at low (up to + 5 ° C) temperatures, it is recommended to bend the elements on a warm pipe with a diameter of about 10 cm. This will prevent them from cracking.

7. Installation of shingles SHINGLAS on curved surfaces (domes, cones)

On roofs of non-standard shape, Shinglas shingles can be laid in two ways - segmental and seamless. When using any of them, the underlayment must first be laid.

Mounting Shinglas on a domed or conical surface in a segmental way involves dividing it into segments. The size of the segments depends on the size and shape of the covered surface. The lines are beaten off with the help of laces. An ordinary tile is mounted on each segment, and ridge tiles are mounted on the joints between them (similar to a ridge and roof ribs). The width of the ridge tile must also correspond to the dimensions of the covered surface.

1) Metal tip (installed after mounting the shinglas);

2) vertical cutting lines (slope marking);

3) a whole petal of a tile;

4) 1/2 petal tiles;

5) ANDEREP lining carpet.

When laying tiles with a seamless method, special attention must be paid to the marking of the surface (see Fig.). First, on its base, marks are made with chalk in increments equal to half the petal of the tile used. From these marks on the lining carpet (5), lines are drawn to the top of the covered surface (the lines are connected at the top). Ordinary tiles are cut into separate petals, of which the first row is mounted. The next row is shifted by half a petal relative to the previous row. The material for it is cut in accordance with the applied marking lines (2). When the width of the trimmed elements becomes half the original (4), whole tile petals (3) begin to be used again for the next row. In this order, the roof is laid to the top of the surface. The top is decorated with a metal tip (1).

8. Connection device

For a smoother bending of materials, a triangular rail is nailed to the roof slope at the junction of the wall (see Fig.). It can be made from a diagonally cut wooden beam with a section of 50x50 mm, or you can use an ordinary wooden plinth. If the wall adjacent to the roof is brick, it is pre-plastered and primed. Shingles of an ordinary tile suitable for adjoining lead to a nailed lath. Strips of at least 50 cm wide are cut out from the TechnoNIKOL valley carpet. On the underside, they are treated with TechnoNIKOL bituminous mastic over the entire surface and laid on top of the tiles. The strips of the valley carpet are positioned so that they extend at least 30 cm onto the wall (and even higher in regions with heavy snow loads). The upper edge of the adjoining material is inserted into the groove and pressed with a metal apron. The structure is fixed mechanically and sealed with polyurethane, thiokol or silicone sealant.

The method of sealing the joints of the roofing with ventilation pipes and chimneys is shown in the figure. Patterns are made from a valley carpet or a metal sheet with an anti-corrosion coating, they are cut and bent in the indicated places. First, the front pattern is mounted on top of the shingles of ordinary tiles suitable for the pipe. Then lay the side and lastly the back patterns. They are brought under the shingles of the material. From the back and sides make a gutter 80 mm wide. At the shingles of the soft roof suitable for the pipe, the upper corners are cut to repel water. The underside of these shingles in places where there is no adhesive layer to a width of 10 cm is smeared with TechnoNICOL bituminous mastic.

If the pipe section is more than 50x50 cm, and it is located across the roof slope, a groove is made behind the pipe (see Fig.). This will prevent excessive accumulation of snow behind the pipe.

If the bottom of the roof slope is adjacent to the wall, a metal storm drain is mounted at the end of it (see Fig.).

9. Pass-through elements

For sealing the places where communication pipes, antennas, etc. pass through the roof. use special passage elements (see fig.). The passage element is fixed mechanically (with nail joints). Shingles of an ordinary bitm tile are laid on it, cut off and fixed to the flange with TechnoNICOL No. 23 FIXER mastic. Then a suitable roof outlet is installed on the passage element.

TechnoNIKOL roof ventilation elements are non-insulated and insulated (see fig.). They are part of the ventilation and sewerage systems. The use of polyurethane-insulated ventilation outlets is advisable in areas with long, frosty winters, since condensate does not freeze inside them. It is not recommended to install caps on sewer roof outlets, as condensate accumulates in them. If it freezes, it will interfere with normal ventilation.

For a more aesthetic appearance of the roof outlet, a cap without internal cuts can be installed on it (see Fig.). In addition to its decorative function, it helps prevent precipitation and foliage from entering the pipe.

Roof care

1. In spring and autumn, it is necessary to inspect the roof to check its condition and timely detection of defects.
2. It is recommended to remove leaves and small debris from the roofing with a brush with soft bristles. Do not use sharp tools as this may damage the tiles.
3. Items with sharp edges are removed from the roof by hand.
4. Drains, gutters and pipes should be checked periodically and cleared of debris as necessary.
5. If a large amount of snow accumulates on the roof, it is removed in layers with a non-sharp shovel. At the same time, a layer of snow about 10 cm thick is left to protect the roofing.
6. From time to time, Euromet specialists recommend checking the condition (and, if necessary, repairing) metal parts, mounting holes, openings and other elements on the roof.

Shinglas shingle roof repair

Bituminous tile SHINGLAS is a repairable roofing material. If there are minor defects in the roofing, its local repair can be carried out independently. In this case, it is important to identify and, if possible, eliminate the causes of damage to the material. These can be, for example, installation errors, scuffs from closely spaced tree branches, the presence of depressions in which water stagnates, etc.

Installation of soft tiles Shinglas (Shinglas) - special laying technology and secrets for roof care

In Shingles' home of the United States, this roofing material is #1 in popularity among home builders.

In a short time, Shingles has become famous, thanks to the quality and ease of installation, the demand for material is constantly growing.

In this article, we will look at detailed installation instructions flexible shingles Shinglas, as well as pay attention to the recommendations for the care of the roof. You can read about other types of soft roofing here.

What is Shingles

Flexible Shingles is bituminous laminate modular size, has three components: fiberglass, bituminous composition and basalt granulate. In production, two or more layers of material are sintered together, shingles are cut, packed into product packs, packs are wrapped in film.

Fiberglass provides strength, it is durable and does not corrode, does not require fungicide treatment, and does not rot. The improved bituminous composition has increased heat resistance, which allows use the material in all climatic zones with no restrictions.

Sprinkling with basalt protects against mechanical damage, UV radiation, temperature and precipitation. Sprinkling with colored basalt does not fade over time, making it possible to create unique color compositions. The consumer can choose Shingles according to their taste from 12 collections and 70 color designs.

Modules (shingles)- rectangular, with figured cutouts along the lower edge, depending on the collection, they have a different configuration. From below, the modules are sprinkled with sand to prevent sticking in packages. There is also a strip of adhesive, which secures the shingles to each other. The strip is protected before installation with a special film. The shingles are laid in rows overlapping, which provides reliable waterproofing to the coating..

All about merit

Developers appreciate this material for a reason. For more than a century of operation of roofs from Shingles, everything has become known about the merits:

1. Durability;
2. Atmospheric, bio- and chemical resistance;
3. Physical characteristics;
4. Simplicity of installation of a shinglas roof;
5. Excellent waterproofing properties;
6. Profitability;
7. Environmental friendliness;
8. Aesthetics.

Ease of installation provide physical characteristics: flexibility, low volumetric weight, easy-to-handle size.

economy give a low price in comparison with analogues and a convenient size, due to which waste is reduced to a minimum.

Environmental friendliness achieved by the possibility of recycling and the lack of impact on the ecosystem.

Aesthetics- a variety of designs and a wide color palette of materials that make each roof unique.

Flexible tile Shinglas

A few shortcomings

The disadvantages include:

• narrow temperature corridor installation: from +5 to +27° С: at lower temperatures, the tile must be heated to 20 ° C before installation, at higher temperatures it must not be loaded in order to avoid losing shape;
• it is advisable not to walk on the finished coating;
• limited angle of inclination of the roof for laying Shingles - from 12 to 40°.

Specifications

Currently, TECHNONICOL factories produce Shingles of 3 types: one-, two- and three-layer. Technical characteristics of other types of soft roofs at the link. Their technical performance is somewhat different.

Mounting Shinglas - preparing tools

For quality styling except for Shingles tools needed:

Additional materials and products convenient to buy at the same time with flexible tiles, the seller will tell you what is needed and in what quantity in order to deliver all the kit necessary for coating to the construction site, saving on additional trips. So:

1. Lining material ANDEREP;
2. Mastic TECHNONICOL No. 23 (FIXER);
3. Vapor barrier;
4. Galvanized nails;
5. Ventilation systems - aerators, exits, passage elements;
6. Drainage system;
7. Planks are eaves, face, adjunctions.

The type and amount of lining material, elements of the drainage system and ventilation systems depend on the type of flexible tiles, the area and design of the roof, and the height of the house.

Preparatory work

Roof base - roof structure- calculated in accordance with the snow load in the climatic zone, the span and the angle of inclination of the roof, given by the project of the house. The profile of the load-bearing elements is also affected by the type of system: hanging rafters; based on a Mauerlat or a structure with a central support and struts.

The distance between the rafters is taken no more than 0.9 m, an increase in the pitch leads to an increase in the profile of the beams, battens and counter battens, that is, it is simply not economical.

With a crate a little easier, its step is taken constructively 35 cm, the profile is also calculated by the calculator. The crate is necessary for ventilation of the under-roof space. Between the rafters and the crate we lay a vapor barrier material, which prevent condensate from reaching the solid flooring- the base for the installation of tiles. Read about the soft roof pie here.

Above the roof level vertical surfaces made of brick or concrete(e.g. chimneys) needs to be plastered and primed to the device of a continuous flooring.

Flooring can be made from various materials - edged boards, moisture resistant plywood or chipboard, fiberboard, OSB-3. The plates must be laid in a run-up (with offset seams), leaving a gap of 3-4 mm at the joints for thermal expansion of the material. Boards should have a humidity of no more than 15-18%. Orient the annual rings with the convex part down.

We reinforce the cornice overhangs with a metal cornice strip, fixing it with nails in a checkerboard pattern, fastening pitch 120-150 mm, we join the planks with an overlap of 3-5 cm, we fasten the joints after 2-3 cm. More details about additional elements here.

P on the flooring we put a self-adhesive lining carpet in the valleys and on the cornice overhang:

• In valleys - 1 m wide (50 cm for each slope);
• On overhangs - by the amount of overhang + 600 mm from the inner edge of the outer wall.

On the lining carpet, we reinforce the overhangs of the gables with special metal strips, their fastening is similar to the strips of the eaves.

Reinforcement of the valley is required in the case of an open method of laying Shingles: TECHNONICOL valley material is laid over the self-adhesive carpet with a horizontal shift of 20-30 mm. The lower part of the reinforcing fabric is smeared with bituminous mastic to a width of 100 mm from the edges and smoothed to the base. Instead of the valley material, a metal sheet with anti-corrosion protection can be used. The reinforcing material is fastened with nails every 20-25 cm with an indent of 20-30 mm from the edge.

Preliminary work ends with markings on the slope of horizontals and verticals, which facilitate the laying of the cover layer.

Shinglas: installation instructions

Mix 5-6 packs of Shingles before applying the topcoat to achieve a more even color transition. The technology for laying shinglas soft tiles is quite simple:

1. We start laying from the middle of the longest slope and lead from the bottom up. As a cornice shingle, we use a special ridge-cornice shingle, or a trimmed ordinary shingle.
2. Glue the bottom shingle onto the underlayment with an indent of 10-20 mm from the bend of the cornice strip and fasten with nails.
3. We mount the subsequent rows diagonally.
4. We install special exit penetration communications, aerators and ventilation, chimneys.
5. We nail a triangular rail along the perimeter of vertical surfaces and glue strips 500 mm wide cut from the valley material onto the mastic(300 for the wall, 200 for the roof), we put the edge of the strip into a shtraba and protect it with a metal apron.
6. We fix the ridge element, made of ordinary tiles and bent on a heated metal pipe Ø10 cm, each nailed with 4 nails.

Shinglas tiling

Recipe for longevity

If you want to extend for a long time exploitation its beautiful new soft-tile roof, be prepared to service it regularly:

1. Twice a year inspect surfaces, joints and junctions;
2. clear with a soft brush from fallen leaves and debris;
3. Remove garbage manually with sharp edges;
4. Clean drains and trays;
5. snow removal with a wooden or plastic shovel in layers, leaving about 10 cm of snow for protection;
6. Carry out minor repairs as necessary. You can read about roof repairs in winter here.

The manufacturer gives a guarantee for a single-layer canvas 10-15 years, two-layer up to 55 years, three-layer - 60 years. Following the installation technology of flexible shingles (all about flexible tiles here), proposed by the manufacturer, inspecting the roof twice a year and regularly caring for it, we can say with confidence that Shingles will last for my lifetime!

Shinglas installation and do-it-yourself Shinglas soft tile laying technology

This article is devoted to Shinglas soft tiles, in which we will analyze in detail the technology of laying flexible tiles, as well as consider detailed instructions for installing a Ranch soft roof on a roof.

Shinglas shingles installation

A roof made of flexible shingles Shinglas will serve for a long time without changing its appearance and functional qualities only if the roof structure provides normal ventilation of the under-roof space, reliable hydro-vapor barrier and insulation corresponding to the climatic conditions of the area where the building was built.

It is not allowed to use flexible tiles of different color shades on the same roof. All Shinglas packages intended for the same roof must have the same color codes.

Even if the color codes match, the shades of the soft roof in different packages may differ slightly. To make these differences on the finished roof invisible, Westmet specialists recommend mixing tile sheets from several packages during installation, and laying them diagonally.

It is allowed to install Shinglas at low air temperatures, however, in this case, several additional rules should be observed. If the temperature does not exceed plus 5-10 degrees Celsius, then the tiles should be delivered to the roof from a heated room - no more than 6 packs at a time. The adhesive strip on tile shingles in such weather should be heated with a building hair dryer (at a higher temperature it does not need to be heated).

If it becomes necessary to cut tiles directly on the roof, then in no case should this be done on the mounted roof. It is recommended to use a pre-prepared board, so as not to damage the already laid shingles.

Pallets with shingles should be stored in a place protected from direct sunlight, otherwise the self-adhesive strips may stick to the protective film, which will further complicate installation.

Under no circumstances should Shinglas soft roof pallets be stacked on top of each other.

To make the sheets of shingles easier to separate from each other, before opening the next package of material, it is recommended to first bend it slightly and then shake it.

Important: In order not to leave stains on SHINGLAS roofing in clear and hot weather, as well as at low temperatures and high air humidity, it is undesirable to walk on already installed tiles. To move along the roof, you need to leave manholes through which you can get to the desired place of the slope.

Necessary materials

Among all types of soft roofing, SHINGLAS has the widest range. More than 60 Shinglas colors are supplied to the Russian market.

ANDEREP self-adhesive materials:

• ANDEREP ULTRA is a high strength underlayment waterproofing material. Produced on a polyester base with a mineral coating. The fine-grained coating of the outer surface (sanding) provides additional protection. This lining carpet is most effective when using Shinglas shingles.
• ANDEREP BARRIER is a lightweight, sand-coated polyester waterproofing material. It is used as an additional protection for soft roofs from leaks in those places where they are most likely.

ANDEREP materials with mechanical fastening:

• ANDEREP PROF is a particularly lightweight roll material that can be used in combination with shingles and other types of pitched roof coverings. The specific gravity of the polyester-based waterproofing material with a non-slip polypropylene outer layer is only 0.4 kg per square meter, which greatly simplifies installation.
• ANDEREP GL is an underlay waterproofing material for roofs covered with bituminous tiles. The fiberglass base is covered with sandy dressing from the outside and inside. Special strips in the places of longitudinal overlaps acquire adhesive properties when heated, therefore, when connecting adjacent sheets of the lining carpet, it is not necessary to use special mastic.

The special lining carpet TechnoNICOL is designed for valleys that are exposed to moisture much more than the rest of the roof. The carpet for the valley is made of polyester and is covered with mineral chips on the outside. This coarse-grained protective coating based on basalt granules reliably protects the valley from leaks.

Eaves, gable overhangs and junction slats

When installing Shinglas, a number of additional elements are used, made of metal with an anti-corrosion protective coating, which also plays a decorative role. These are, in particular, junction planks, gable overhangs and cornice planks.

Fasteners - roofing nails

To fix bituminous tiles, special galvanized (galvanized) roofing nails are used. Their length is from 3 to 4.5 centimeters, the diameter of the rod is from 3 millimeters, and the diameter of the cap is at least 9 mm.

Bitumen-polymer mastic TechnoNIKOL No. 23 (FIXER)

For gluing lining materials and roofing elements, cold mastic FIXER from TechnoNICOL on a bitumen-polymer basis is used.

Roof ventilation TechnoNIKOL

For proper ventilation of the under-roof space, it is necessary that there are a sufficient number of inlet openings in the lower part of the roof, and exhaust openings in the upper part, respectively. Special ventilation elements significantly improve the movement of air in the under-roof space.

In addition to lining materials and additional elements from TechnoNICOL, it is allowed to use their analogues from other manufacturers with similar characteristics.

Consumption of shingles

The number of tiles in one package depends on the type of Shinglas. For the Country collection it is 2.6 sq.m per package, for the Ranch and Jazz collections it is 2 sq.m, and for the Western and Continent series it is 1.5 sq.m. The norm for all other Shinglas collections is 3 sq.m per package. All figures are given based on the area of ​​the finished roof (that is, taking into account all the overlaps when laying the roofing).

On roofs of complex configuration, material consumption increases. In addition, one should keep in mind the waste factor, which depends on the shape of the shingles cutting. A cut like Sonata, Dragon Tooth or Accord requires no more than 5% waste. With other forms of cutting, the waste ratio increases to 10-15%. This is due to the need to arrange the starting strips and design the ridges and roof ridges.

Approximately 80 g of fasteners (galvanized nails) are required for each square meter of the roof.

Consumption of mastic TechnoNIKOL (FIXER):

For gluing overlaps of lining materials without self-adhesive strips, about 100 g of FIXER mastic per linear meter is required.

When installing a carpet for a valley, up to 400 g of mastic per linear meter is consumed.

Gluing the joints to ensure tightness requires approximately 750 g per meter.

The mastic should be applied in a thin layer (no more than 1 mm), otherwise swelling may appear in the places of gluing.

Preparing the base for the roof

SHINGLAS bituminous tiles are laid on a solid base, which can be made of boards, plywood, large-panel panels, oriented strand boards. Wood or other materials must be dry.

The flooring should be laid evenly - so that the differences between the boards or slabs in height do not exceed 2 millimeters.

Large-panel panels are laid with a spacing of seams and fixed with self-tapping screws or special ruff nails.

Plywood and oriented strand board have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than other wood materials, so when building a plywood or OSB-3 base, a gap of 3-5 millimeters should be left between the boards.

If the flooring is made of boards, then all of them should be laid as shown in Figure 4 - with the same orientation of the annual rings visible at the ends of the boards. An incorrectly laid board is crossed out in the figure.

If boards of unequal thickness are used, then the thickest of them should be placed at the eaves of the roof, and then gradually reduce the thickness of the flooring from the eaves to the ridge.

Adjacent boards should be joined on the roof rafters, securing them at the junction with at least four nails.

If necessary, plank flooring for flexible tiles can also be made from damp wood. In this case, the boards are fixed along the edges with two self-tapping screws, and the flooring must dry before the installation of Shinglas.

Installation of cornice strips

To strengthen the cornice overhang of the roof, special cornice strips are used, made of metal with a protective coating. They are mounted along the edge of the deck, as shown in fig. 6 and are fixed with nails, which are driven in at a distance of 12-15 centimeters from each other in a checkerboard pattern. At the joints, the cornice strips are laid with an overlap of 3-5 cm.

Installation of waterproofing materials

Lining material, as a rule, is laid over the entire surface of the slopes. Where ordinary tiles will be installed, Westmet engineers recommend using a mechanically fixed underlayment, and self-adhesive waterproofing materials in valleys, at cornices and in other places with an increased risk of leaks.

ANDEREP rolled materials from TechnoNIKOL are best suited as roofing waterproofing for SHINGLAS, but other materials with similar properties can also be used.

In the valley, the self-adhesive underlayment must be 1 m wide (half a meter on each side of the valley axis).

It is advisable to lay the lining material in the valley end-to-end, that is, without overlaps. An alternative option is installation with an overlap of 300 mm with reliable gluing of the seams.

At the roof eaves, the self-adhesive carpet is fixed as shown in fig. 7. It covers the part of the cornice that protrudes beyond the line of the wall, as well as at least 60 centimeters up the slope. Waterproofing, installed in this way, avoids leaks near the eaves during sudden temperature fluctuations, melting snow on the roof, heavy rainfall and other problems with temperature and humidity in the under-roof space.

At the cornice overhang, the lower edge of the lining material should be 20-30 millimeters from the fold of the metal cornice strip.

The lining carpet, fixed mechanically, is mounted on the slope from the eaves to the ridge (that is, from the bottom up) with an overlap of adjacent canvases both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. For ANDEREP materials from TechnoNIKOL, the longitudinal overlap is 10 centimeters, and the transverse overlap is 15 cm.

If BiCARD underlays and their organic-based counterparts are used, the amount of overlap depends on the slope of the roof slopes. If the angle of inclination of the slopes is less than 30 degrees, then an overlap of at least 60 cm is required. With a more significant slope of the slope, an overlap of 10 cm is sufficient.

Cloths of lining material during installation are rolled out parallel to the roof eaves and fixed to the solid flooring with roofing nails in increments of 20-25 centimeters. The joints of the canvases should be glued with FIXER mastic, applying it in the place of overlap with a layer of 200-300 millimeters wide.

In areas with moderate temperature fluctuations and relatively low levels of precipitation (Central, Northwestern, Volga, Southern and North Caucasian federal districts), it is possible to reduce the consumption of lining materials. When using Shinglas with cuts such as Beaver Tail, Sonata, Trio or Accord, it is allowed to mount an underlayment carpet only along the perimeter of the roof (in strips of 50 cm), along cornice overhangs and in valleys, as well as in other places where there is a high risk of leakage - for example, at roof windows and through exits through the roof (ventilation shafts, chimneys, communications). However, this reduces the warranty period for a soft roof.

Outside of the listed federal districts, this condition does not apply and the laying of lining materials over the entire area of ​​​​the slopes is mandatory.

Strengthening the gable overhang

To reinforce the gable overhang, metal end gable strips are used. They are fastened over the underlayment with nails, as shown in fig. 9. Galvanized roofing nails are driven in at a distance of 12-15 centimeters in a checkerboard pattern.

Neighboring gable planks are laid with an overlap of 3-5 cm. In this place, the distance between the nails should be no more than 2-3 centimeters.

Immediately before the installation of sheets of tiles suitable for the pediment, the end strip is smeared with FIXER mastic, and the upper corner of the sheet is trimmed.

Valley preparation

There are two methods for installing Shinglas shingles in a valley. The open installation method of SHINGLAS requires the use of valley carpet, while the undercut method eliminates it.

Carpet for the valley TechnoNICOL is laid over the self-adhesive lining material already installed in the valley during the complete or partial waterproofing of the slopes (see above the section "Installation of waterproofing materials"). The scheme of laying the carpet is shown in fig. 10. The carpet for the valley is mounted along its axis, indicated by the number 1, with a horizontal offset of 20-30 millimeters. From the bottom side, the carpet for the valley must be smeared with FIXER mastic, with a layer 100 mm wide around the entire perimeter.

In addition to a special carpet, with the open method of laying shingles in the valley, it is possible to use a steel sheet with a surface that is resistant to corrosion. A metal sheet instead of a valley carpet is the most suitable option for regions with long and hot summers.

A special carpet or steel sheet is nailed with nails with a gap of 200-250 millimeters and an indent from the edge of the valley by 20-30 mm on each side.

It is best to lay sheets of waterproofing material end-to-end so that the carpet is solid. If this is not possible, then installation of a carpet with a 30-centimeter overlap is allowed. Seams in places of overlap should be carefully glued.

If this method is used, neither valley carpet nor sheet metal is required. The installation of flexible tiles by cutting is discussed in the instructions below.

Slope marking

For proper installation of Shinglas, it is recommended to apply marking lines to the flooring, which serves as the basis for flexible tiles. They perform a guiding function. The vertical lines are separated from each other by the width of one tile sheet, and the horizontal lines by five rows (see figure).

Marking lines also serve to align the sheets, but are not a guideline for their fastening with nails. Fixing tiles should be carried out according to the scheme given in the next section of the instructions.

Installation of shingles SHINGLAS

Mounting tips Shinglas

Shinglas with different color codes cannot be used on the roof of the same building.

Mixing tiles from 5-6 packs will help to avoid visible differences in the color shades of different parts of the roofing (if this is not done, then a subtle difference in color tones may be distinguishable on the finished roof).

In cold weather (at outdoor temperatures below 5-10 degrees), Shinglas must be stored in a warm place for at least a day before installation. The temperature in the room should not be lower than 20 degrees, and no more than 5-6 packages should be taken out into the cold at a time. The following packages can only be delivered to the roof after the tiles from the previous ones have been laid.

The self-adhesive strips on bituminous shingles need to be warmed up in cold weather. For this purpose, a building hair dryer is used.

Tiling fastening

Fig. 12 (scheme of fastening sheets with nails)

The tile sheets on the slope are fastened to the continuous flooring with roofing nails resistant to corrosion. These wide-headed nails are driven in in such a way that the head does not go deep into the surface of the tile sheet either directly or obliquely. The bottom edge of the cap must be exactly in line with the surface of the tile (see top image in fig. 12).

The required number of nails depends on the angle of the slopes, as well as on the SHINGLAS collection and the shape of the tiles. The recommended position of nails for different series of Shinglas is shown in fig. 12.

Important: the flexible tiles of the JAZZ and COUNTRY series are mounted with an overlap, therefore, at the junction, two adjacent sheets are fixed with one nail. To correctly determine the place of fixation, one should be guided by the assembly line, which is present on the outer surface of the tiles of these series (this line is applied during the manufacture of the roofing material).

For fastening roofing sheets of the CONTINENT series, only long nails with a wide head (4.5 centimeters long) are suitable.

Installation of the starting strip

The material for the starting strip is selected depending on the SHINGLAS series. In some collections, ridge-cornice tiles are used for this purpose, while in others, standard ordinary tiles are used.

Ridge and eaves universal tiles do not require cutting and are laid with the adhesive side down over the waterproofing lining material with a 10-20 mm offset from the cornice strip bend. The longer the roof slope and the greater the angle of its inclination, the wider this indent should be.

The starting strip for Shinglas with the shape of cutting Accord, Beaver Tail, Sonata or Trio is made from ordinary tiled sheets, from which the petals are cut. From the underside, the entire surface of the strip, with the exception of the adhesive layer, is covered with a layer of mastic, after which it is glued in exactly the same way as described above.

Under a soft roof with a Continent and Dragon's Tooth thread, the starting strip is made from shingles of an ordinary tile without cutting off the petals.

Laying the first and next rows of Shinglas

It is recommended to lay the sheets of soft roofing starting from the middle of the slope. This makes it easier to align the shingles, especially on long pitches. The first row of tiles starts from the starting strip with a gap of 10-20 millimeters between it and the lower edge of the roofing sheets.

Laying the next rows is carried out from the bottom up diagonally.

Features of the installation of ordinary tiles, depending on the shape of the cut, are shown in fig. 14 and 15.

Western and Sonata

The second row is laid from the middle of the slope with a shift in one direction or another by the width of half the petal. You can carry out installation from the center of the slope in any direction - to the right or to the left.

The lower edge of the petals after fixing the second row of tiles with nails should coincide with the upper edge of the cutouts in the previous row.

In the same way, with a shift of half a petal and alignment with the cutouts of the previous row, the third row of shingles and all subsequent ones are laid.

On fig. 16 shows a variant of the installation of Shinglas shingles from the middle of the slope in strips, and in fig. 17 - in the form of a pyramid.

With a downpour or slanting rain, the risk of moisture leakage along the edge of the roof increases. To avoid this, it is advisable to glue Shinglas shingles along the edge of the roof with FIXER mastic to a width of 100 millimeters.

At the gable, the corners of the shingles that fit the end plank must be trimmed, as indicated above, in fig. 9. This is done to organize the proper flow of water from the roof.

Shinglas series COUNTRY, RANCH and JAZZ has a number of features. The shingles of these collections are laid not with an equal offset between the rows, but with an arbitrary offset from 150 to 850 millimeters. The shift must constantly change so that the result is an abstract pattern on the roof.

Valley device

An open method of laying tiles in a valley

Ordinary sheets of a soft roof are mounted in any order from the edge of the valley to its axis (Fig. 18, mark 1). The tile is laid directly on the TechnoNICOL waterproofing valley carpet or a metal sheet and brought to the undercut line, indicated in the figure by the number 3.

Each roofing sheet from above, in addition to the usual fixation, is fastened with additional nails. However, these nails should not be driven closer than 300 mm from the axis of the valley (Fig. 18, 2).

When the tiles in the valley are laid, lines are drawn on its surface on both sides of the axis with the help of a coated beating, along which the excess tile shingles are cut off. When cutting tiles, be sure to put a board in order to avoid damage to the waterproofing in the valley.

Each sheet of soft roofing in the valley must be cut to repel water and covered on the inside with adhesive mastic to a width of 100 millimeters (where there is no self-adhesive strip, see Fig. 18, 5).

If the roof slopes are not the same in area, configuration and angle of inclination, a different volume of water may enter the valley from them. In this case, the valley chute should be shifted in the direction from which the water flow is less. Such a displacement compensates for the washout at the junction of the waterproofing carpet and the tile covering in the valley.

The gutter of the valley can have a different width - in the range from 50 to 150 millimeters. If the house is located in a forest or under the crowns of tall trees, the gutter should be made wider to make it easier to clear it of falling branches and leaves.

When using this method, the roofing is mounted from the side of the slope with a smaller angle of inclination towards the axis of the valley and then with an overlap on another slope. The width of the overlap is at least 300 millimeters from the center line towards the steeper slope.

Shinglas in the valley is fastened in the same way as with the open method - with additional nails on the upper side of the sheets, but not closer than 30 centimeters from the center line (Fig. 19, marks 1 and 2).

When the laying of tiles on a slope with a lower angle of inclination is completed, one undercut line is made using coated chipping - 70-80 millimeters from the axis of the valley on the second slope (which has a greater slope). This line is marked in Fig. 19 number 3.

Further along this line, tiles are cut, mounted in the valley from the side of the slope with a greater steepness. As with the open method, the roofing sheets in the valley should be covered with mastic on the inside and trimmed to repel water, as shown in fig. 19, mark 4.

Slope crossings (ribs and ridge)

The roof slopes intersect at the top of the roof structure, forming a ridge. A roof of complex configuration may also have lateral intersections of slopes, which are usually referred to as ribs. Roof ridges and ridges are arranged in a similar way, but installation methods may differ depending on the SHINGLAS series and the shape of shingles cutting.

A number of SHINGLAS collections are equipped with universal ridge and cornice tiles. It can be divided along the perforation lines, obtaining separate elements for the starting strips on the cornice overhangs, for the ridge and for other purposes.

In this case, we are interested in ridge tiles. After dividing the universal sheet into three parts, a ready-made element for the installation of ridges and ribs is obtained, compatible with SHINGLAS shingles of the Accord, Western, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Continent types.

Edge. Shingles of shingles that overlap the rib on both sides must be trimmed so that there is a gap of 50 millimeters between them. Coated beating lines are drawn at an equal distance from the ridge on both sides of its middle. Ridge tiles are laid along these lines. Installation is carried out from the bottom up, with the fastening of each sheet of ridge tiles with roofing nails - 2 on both sides, that is, 4 per sheet.

Ridge tiles are laid along the edge of the roof with an overlap of 30-50 millimeters - so that the top sheet covers the nail heads that fix the previous one.

Skate. On the ridge of the roof, the installation of sheets of ridge tiles is carried out in almost the same way as on the edge - with the difference that the laying is carried out in a horizontal plane. Installation should begin from the side opposite to the most typical wind direction in the area where the building is located.

For cut shingles such as Beaver Tail, Dragon Tooth, Sonata and Trio, ridge shingles can be made from standard roofing sheets. The scheme of pattern and bending of sheets is shown in fig. 20.

Please note that with the Sonata cut shape, the location of the visible part (A) and the hidden part (B) differs from the other options.

The inner side of ridge tiles made of SHINGLAS ordinary tiles, when mounted on the ribs and ridges of the roof, must be covered on the inside with FIXER mastic - everywhere except for self-adhesive strips. In addition, installation is no different from laying universal ridge-cornice tiles.

Important: at low air temperatures, it is desirable to bend the ridge and rib elements of some SHINGLAS collections on a special heated metal pipe. The diameter of the pipe should be about 100 millimeters.

Soft roofs from the Ranch, Country and Jazz collections cannot be bent at all except on a heated pipe.

Shinglas type Finnish Tile and Classic experts advise bending using a heated metal pipe at an air temperature below plus 5 degrees.

Installation of Shinglas on conical and domed roofs

One of the advantages of a soft roof is the ability to easily mount it on a roof with a curved surface.

There are two main options for installing Shinglas shingles on this type of roof.

The first one is segmental. This method involves the division of a dome or conical roof into separate segments that can be covered with ordinary tiles. And between the segments, ridge tiles are laid - just like on the ridges of an ordinary roof.

The area of ​​each segment depends on the configuration of the dome or cone.

1. Metal tip (mounted after laying the roofing).
2. Slope marking.
3. A whole petal of flexible tiles.
4. Half petal.
5. Lining waterproofing material.

According to Westmet engineers, the seamless method of installing shingles on curved surfaces (Fig. 21) is the most effective and attractive from an aesthetic point of view, but at the same time it is especially difficult.

On the base of the roof, it is necessary to draw lines spaced from each other by a width of half a petal of the selected type of flexible tile. These lines converge at the top of a cone or dome.

Shingles of flexible tiles must be divided into separate petals and form the first row of roofing from them in accordance with the markings.

The next row is mounted with a shift of half a petal with trimming of the tiles when going beyond the marking lines. If the next row cannot be laid out with whole petals, petals divided in half are used (Fig. 21 - a row of whole petals is marked with the number 3, a row of cut petals is marked with the number 4).

In the upper part, the cone or dome is closed with a metal cap (if necessary, decorative elements can be installed - depending on the wishes of the owner or the purpose of the public building).

Attachment to vertical surfaces

The connection of roofing to walls, chimneys and other vertical surfaces requires special attention. Proper connection design eliminates the risk of leaks in these vulnerable areas.

Along the joint line, and in the case of chimneys and ventilation shafts, a triangular rail or plinth is installed along the perimeter. A timber with a section of 5 by 5 centimeters, sawn diagonally, is best suited.

On fig. 22, the triangular rail is marked with the number 1.

Shinglas shingles, suitable for abutment, are laid over a triangular rail.

In order to provide waterproofing of the junction, a valley carpet from TechnoNIKOL is used (Fig. 22, 5). Strips of at least 50 centimeters wide are cut out of it, and sufficient in length to cover the entire junction line or perimeter.

The waterproofing carpet is wound on a vertical surface by at least 30 centimeters. If, according to the climatic conditions of the region, it is possible to assume a high level of precipitation in the winter (and, accordingly, a significant accumulation of snow on the roof), then it is recommended to make a wider pattern and raise the waterproofing strip even higher.

If the wall, chimney, ventilation shaft or other vertical surface at the junction is built of brick, then even before the start of roofing work, it must be plastered, and, if necessary, primed (primed).

In the upper part, the junction is covered with a metal apron (Fig. 22, 2) and treated with a sealant.

Patterns for connecting SHINGLAS shingles to chimneys and ventilation shafts can be made both from a carpet for a valley from TechnoNICOL (Fig. 23), and from a metal sheet with a protective coating (Fig. 24).

Behind pipes with a cross section of more than half a meter, a groove should be arranged in order to avoid excessive accumulation of snow.

If the roof slope is adjacent to a wall, a storm drain must be mounted on its lower edge, as shown in fig. 26.

If the roof slope ends at the junction with the wall, at the end of the slope, a storm drain made of metal with an anti-corrosion coating should be installed (Fig. 26). The chipper is made of metal resistant to corrosion.

Arrangement of roof penetrations

Holes passing through the roof to bring pipes, antennas, wires and other communications to the roof are sealed at the bottom using passage elements specially designed for this purpose.

Pass-through elements are attached to the base with roofing nails. Sheets of tiles are superimposed over the passage element, after which they are cut off and attached to the flange with adhesive mastic. After that, you can install the desired roof outlet in this place.

Ventilation outlets are produced in two versions. Insulated exits can be used on the roof of buildings that serve for housing or other use all year round, including in winter. Thanks to polyurethane insulation, condensate never freezes in them.

Non-insulated outputs are intended mainly for warm regions, as well as for buildings and structures that are used mainly in the warm season.

Decorative caps improve the appearance of the ventilation outlets. However, their use does not affect the functional characteristics of the ventilation system. Even if water, leaves and small debris get into the hood, and through it, water, leaves and small debris enter the outlet, they are freely discharged into the sewer system.

On the other hand, it is undesirable to equip outlets designed for improved ventilation directly to the sewer itself with caps. During the cold period, due to the increased humidity of the fumes, condensate can accumulate and freeze in the hood.
