Independent construction of the roof of a private house. How to cover the old roof with corrugated board How best to cover the roof

The roof is one of the main elements of any structure. It performs an important function - it retains heat in the interior, protects them from overheating.

The quality of the materials from which this structure is constructed depends on how completely and efficiently the building will be protected from melt water and precipitation.

Assignment of materials for roofing

When building a house, you will need to select roof covering materials for several elements, among which:

1. truss system (photo 1). To complete this element of pitched roofs, you will need bars or boards made of wood.

2. crate (photo 2) - a structure laid on rafters and taking the main load of the roof. For its construction, bars, boards made of wood, preferably coniferous, OSB, moisture-resistant plywood are used.

3. Control grille (photo 2), equipped to form a ventilation gap. Made from wood. Air circulation is carried out by a simple draft method or using special valves. In construction, sometimes instead of a wooden beam, a metal profile is used for rafters, grating, lathing and counter lathing (photo 3).

4. Thermal insulation layer , which is laid on the crate when arranging warm attics, mansards. When choosing a heater for overlapping, it is worth paying attention to its resistance to moisture, sensitivity to temperature fluctuations, and the ability to emit unpleasant odors. Usually, mineral wool, fiberglass-based products are used for overlapping.

5. Vapor barrier film , covering the insulation from the inside from the ingress of wet vapors from the premises of the house, preventing the formation of condensate.

6. Waterproofing (photo 4), preventing moisture from entering the insulation from the outside. There are a lot of waterproofing for overlapping: films, coating, sprayed and other types. The choice of the right one depends on the type and shape of the roof, insulation, features of materials.

7. Fasteners (photo 5). Fasten the elements with fasteners designed for a particular type of material.

The simplest is the overlap of a cold roof. For him, you do not need to equip the roofing "pie". You will only need wood for the construction of rafters, battens, roofing material.

What is the roof made of?

The roof should be installed immediately after the “pie” is assembled, otherwise it may be damaged by wind and precipitation. On the market there are materials for covering the roof of different types, differing in technical characteristics and prices.

metal tile

It is a thin sheet of galvanized steel, stylized as a classic tile due to profiling (photo 3, 4). It has attractive aesthetic properties obtained by coating the sheets with a decorative and protective layer of polymers. Differs in special ease. The properties depend on the characteristics of the steel, the type and class of coatings.

Slate

Durable durable material. It is distinguished by incombustibility, low cost relative to other types, good electrical insulating qualities. Easily processed, not subject to corrosion at all, low noise during the period of precipitation.

Decking is inexpensive

Steel profiled sheets have ridges of different heights and widths of wavy, trapezoidal, and other shapes. They have a protective coating in the form of layers of zinc and colored polymers. They are distinguished by simple installation (photo 6), corrosion resistance with an intact protective coating, low weight. The disadvantage is the increase in sound when it rains. The construction of a roofing "pie" helps to solve this problem.

Ceramic tiles are prestigious

Made from fusible clay, it lasts a long time, while its color only becomes more saturated. It is not sensitive to precipitation, frost, sun rays, fire, has good soundproofing properties, low thermal conductivity. The disadvantages can be considered high prices, fragility, heavy weight.

Often a situation arises when even newly built houses need a roof covering, not to mention buildings that have been built for a long time. Such a need may arise due to leaks, sagging, heat loss, etc.
No less often, this service is required simply because you need to replace the old roof with a new one. In any case, the owner is faced with a choice - to turn to specialists, or to solve the problem on his own.

To perform the work, in addition to knowledge of theory and special tools, practical skills will be required, without which it is simply impossible to successfully carry out all the operations necessary to obtain the result. Trusting this work to professionals, you provide the roof of your house with a long life.

House roof covering

The implementation of a complex of works on overlapping the roof takes place in several stages, each of which requires the utmost clarity of execution.
To do this, it is necessary to have knowledge of the main functions of the roof, namely, protective, sound and heat-insulating and aesthetic. You also need to have an idea about all the components of the roofing structure, which is traditionally called the "roofing cake" - the base, thermal insulation, vapor barrier, roofing material.

All this knowledge is fully possessed by specialists working in our Zvezda Roofing company.

Main steps:

• installation of the crate;
• waterproofing and vapor barrier device;
• roof insulation;
• roofing material installation.

The first three stages are common to all types of work. Fourth, has its own specifics depending on the selected material.

However, there are some general rules that must be applied when working with any roofing materials:

• roofing material should be laid from the bottom up (with the exception of hipped roofs) with its obligatory alignment along the overhang and cornice;
• if the roof slope has a triangular shape, the roofing material is laid from the center to two sides;
• on rectangular slopes, laying can be done both from left to right and from right to left;
• to ensure the normal ingress of water into the gutters, the roofing material should hang from the crate by 5-6 cm;
• if the roofing material is not supplied with special fasteners for mounting the coating, self-tapping screws or nails should be used.

The roof is the most important part of the house and garage, because it is most often exposed to harmful factors (precipitation, mechanical damage, sunlight). Therefore, it is the most vulnerable design. Roof failures can affect the condition of the entire building. That is why all owners of private houses need to think about how to cover the roof on their site.

How much does it cost to cover the roof in the country?

Below you can see the Moscow market prices for roofing work in a private house on the example of corrugated board, metal tiles and other popular materials.

In addition, you should also consider the cost of related work, without which you can not do at all:

• installation of the truss system 450 rubles;
• installation of insulation 300 rubles;
• installation of waterproofing 80 rubles;
• installation of the crate 110 rubles.

At the design stage, experts pay a lot of attention to choosing the right type of roof. After all, the selected material must meet all quality indicators. Not bad, if it does not differ in its high cost. An inexperienced builder can be overwhelmed by a wide range of coatings. However, our masters will instantly make the necessary calculations and select the best option. Below we will talk about the most common materials, their advantages and disadvantages.

When planning the construction of a house, special attention is paid to the choice of roofing. I want it to be of high quality, durable and affordable. Worth paying attention to. A variety of roofing materials can confuse anyone. In such situations, a thorough analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of roofing material related to the economy class will help to make a choice. About how much it costs to cover the roof in a country house or in a private house and what material is best to do this, we will burn in this article.

Metal tile - the main material

When the question arises of how to cover the roof of a private house, the answer is most often a metal tile. This material has received its wide distribution due to its clear advantages.

Advantages of a metal tile:

• availability, both in terms of price and availability of material in stores;
• simplicity and ease of installation;
• environmental friendliness - due to the fact that the metal tile is made of steel;
• long service life - more than 20 years;
• large selection of colors.

The disadvantages of this roofing material are:

• noisiness - during the rain, the sounds of drops hitting the roof will be clearly audible;
• windage;
• the need to additionally perform insulation and soundproofing of the roof;
• susceptibility to corrosion;
• a large residue of waste when roofing complex roofs;
• a minimum of rental drawings.

When choosing a metal tile, you need to calculate not only how much it costs to cover the roof in a private house based on the cost of material and roofing per square meter, but also the price of additional elements. It often happens that metal tiles are sold at a discounted price, and then, when it comes to buying additional elements, they turn out to be prohibitively expensive.

The thickness of the steel and the amount of zinc contained are important indicators of the quality of the metal tile. The higher these figures, the better. Buying metal tiles from trusted manufacturers, you can protect yourself from unnecessary hassle with poor-quality material.

The cost of a metal roof depends on many factors:

• material cost ($6-13 per sq.m.);
• the cost of installation work (amounts to 50-100% of the cost of the material);
• the cost of additional work and materials;
• design complexity.

The roof area does not depend much on the square of the house, since the building can be two- or three-story, which means that the size of the roof will depend only on the floor area and its own design features.

For more accurate cost calculation, you should use our calculator, or roof.

On average, a metal roof will cost:

• for a small house (about 100 sq. m.) - close to $ 1000;
• for a medium-sized house (about 200 sq. m.) - $ 1200-2000;
• for a large house (about 300 sq. m.) - $ 2000-3000.

Soft tiles for the roof of the house

Soft tiles are often chosen for complex construction roofs.

The main advantages of this material include:

• ease of installation;
• a huge variety of colors of the material;
• minimum waste during installation;
• environmental friendliness;
• noiselessness;
• durability (more than 30 years of operation);
• minimization of risks when buying, due to the complexity of manufacturing the material and the impossibility of forging it.

The disadvantages of soft tiles are:

• frequent breakage of material due to strong wind;
• the need to perform a solid base - a common crate;
• the impossibility of building a "residential" roof.

The price of soft tiles

Considering that the cost of soft tiles is $7-17 per sq.m., and roofing work will cost $6-40 per sq.m., for a roof made of soft tiles you will need:

• for a small house (about 100 sq. m.) - $ 1000-4000;
• for a medium-sized house (about 200 sq. m.) - $ 1200-8000;
• for a large house (about 300 sq. m.) - $ 1800-12000.

This material also requires a careful approach to the selection of additional elements and the assessment of their cost.

Wavy bitumen sheets

On corrugated bituminous sheets, people who erect buildings for household purposes or simple summer houses most often stop their choice.

Among the advantages of this material are highlighted:

• low cost;
• ease of installation - the roof can be performed even without special skills;
• ease of transportation;
• noiselessness;
• the possibility of using lightweight inexpensive crates;
• unusual shades of material;
• environmental friendliness;
• long service life (at least 15 years);
• low cost of additional elements;
• market transparency - no risk of buying a fake.

Disadvantages of corrugated bitumen sheets:

• limited design solutions;
• the possibility of leaks;
• the possibility of sagging material.

The use of special nails with specific caps (20 nails per sheet) during the installation of this material will extend the life of the roof.

Cost of corrugated bitumen sheets

The cost of the material ranges from $ 9-12 per sheet, roofing with bitumen sheets costs $ 4-5. Fully roofing from corrugated bitumen sheets will approximately cost:

• for a small house (about 100 sq. m.) - $ 800;
• for a medium-sized house (about 200 sq. m.) - $ 1000;
• for a large house (about 300 sq. m.) - $ 1200.

Keramoplast

Keramoplast is a composite material created from organic raw materials and plastic granules.

The main advantages of keramoplast:

• high rigidity;
• noiselessness;
• absolute environmental friendliness.

Among the disadvantages of keramoplast, it is especially often manifested:

• poor tolerance for temperature changes;
• fragility;
• complexity of transportation.

• for a small house (about 100 sq. m.) - $ 800-1200;
• for a medium-sized house (about 200 sq. m.) - $ 1200-6000;
• for a large house (about 300 sq. m.) - $ 1500-8000.

Composite metal tile

Composite metal tile acts as a little-used material, since few people know about its existence. Its basis is a metal sheet, and the surface is made of stone granulate.

Among the advantages of this material are noted:

• a wide selection of colors and shapes of colors;
• high anti-corrosion ability;
• noiselessness;
• durability (more than 50 years of service);
• reliability.

Besides this roofing material includes all advantages of a metal tile and a soft roof.

The downside is:

• complexity of installation;
• relatively high cost of material and additional components.

The cost of such a roof is in the following price range:

• for a small house (about 100 sq. m.) - $ 7,000-20,000;
• for a medium-sized house (about 200 sq. m.) - $ 20,000-50,000;
• for a large house (about 300 sq. m.) - $ 40,000-60,000.

The analysis of the given data shows that a roof made of corrugated bituminous coatings will cost the least, but this material also has the shortest service life, while the most expensive material - composite metal tiles - has the greatest durability among all materials and the fewest shortcomings.

How much does a roof cost: reviews from the forum

Igor M.

I was going to reconstruct the cottage. My house is not big, only 6×9. I want to dismantle the old roof, raise the floor by a meter and install a new one from metal tiles. The roof is the simplest gable. I started asking prices. On a turnkey basis, they gave me a price of 450 UAH per m2. It's just a job without materials.

I am disappointed. It is only necessary to pay 130 UAH per m2 for the metal tile itself, and plus the rafter part, insulation, etc. It's getting expensive. But I began to ask further, they said that the maximum price is now 200 UAH per m2. I spoke with the foreman. He promised to do it for 300 m2. We calculated the materials, it turned out with the work 48,000 UAH, about $ 2,000 We agreed that we would start with the first rays of the spring sun. I put money aside, I'm waiting.

Sergey B.

I undertook to remake my parents' house a little. I did the insulation. I decided to cover the roof with metal tiles. I don't need to do anything special. I did a major overhaul of the roof two years ago, just remove the slate and replace it with a metal tile.

I did not think for a long time, I phoned the specialists who had already worked for me. They say 300 rubles ($5) per square, and we will change everything. Indeed, he brought the materials, the guys came, they did everything qualitatively. In Moscow, I would hardly have invested in such a budget, except that in Ukraine their construction services are cheaper.

Alexey K.
I live in Russia, I am from Ukraine. It so happened that in two years I had to change the roof on houses in two different countries. First with the wife's parents, and then with their own. And you know me, confused by some price points. When I was engaged in replacing the roof on my mother-in-law's house, everything was for the first time. I thought for a long time what material to choose and how to make it. Although I am a busy person, it was still interesting. How do people make and from what. Therefore, he delved into the cost of materials and the quality of work.

The following year, he came to visit his parents. I looked at the old house and decided that it needed to be updated. I didn't have any issues with the roof. I knew exactly what and how I needed. In both cases, this is a house, approximately 200 m2, under a slate gable roof with an attic. Having experience, I immediately began to look for a contractor who would do all the work on a turnkey basis.

I'm still on vacation, so I left control. I was lucky with the builders and for the first and second time I came across experts in their field who can do the job well and quickly. The roof went up very quickly. But being involuntarily engaged in construction, or rather curatorship, he compiled the so-called international price list of roofing works. We will not take materials, they are almost similar, in dollar terms.

Turnkey roof manufacturing

So straight to the point:
1. Dismantling of the old roof - 250 rubles / m2; or 10 UAH/m2.
2. Production of a turnkey cold roof from metal tiles, depending on the complexity of installing rafters, mounting lathing, waterproofing, fastening counter rails, the metal tiles themselves, skates, wind slats, valleys - 1200 - 1300 rubles / m2; or 130 - 160 UAH / m2.
3. Warming - 280 rubles / m2; or 40 UAH/m2.
4. Installation of floor beams - 150 - 200 rubles / linear meter; or 35 UAH/lin.m.
5. Installation of drains, depending on the floor - 245 - 420 rubles / linear meter; or 40-55 UAH / running meter
6. Sheathing overhangs - 550 - 600 rubles / linear meter; or 70-90 UAH/rm
7. Arrangement of gables with materials for the facade, for example, siding or clapboard - 350 - 400 rubles / m2; or 60 - 70 UAH / m2.
8. Installation of a roof window - 3000 - 4000 rubles / piece; or 600 - 1150 UAH / piece.
9. Installation of draft walls and ceiling - 70 - 80 rubles / m2; or 35 UAH/m2.

Measurements in both cases were carried out free of charge, because subsequently, I took both the material and ordered the work itself. Although initially everyone said that the service was paid. The metal tile and related materials were delivered free of charge, for the same reason.
After analyzing the metal roof, I decided to look at the roof from different materials. I will indicate the prices for installation work of a cold roof when they are installed on a turnkey basis:
Bituminous tiles - 1800 - 2100 rubles / m2; or 160 - 220 UAH / m2.
Natural tiles - 1100 - 2000 rubles / m2; or 300 - 350 UAH / m2.
Roofing corrugated board - 800 - 1000 rubles / m2; or 150 - 200 UAH / m2.
Composite tiles - 1100 - 2000 rubles / m2; or 200 - 250 UAH / m2.
Euroslate, Ondulin, Aqualine - 800 - 1000 rubles / m2; or 150 - 200 UAH / m2.
Tariffs for insulation, installation of a drainage system and other works do not differ from those used when installing a roof made of metal.

Thus, we can conclude that the choice of roofing material directly depends on individual preferences, phrases, purpose and design features of the building, so it is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to the question of what is better and cheaper to cover the roof. Each material has its pros and cons, so you need to make an individual choice, based on the above data.

   Guys, by and large, what's the point in asking in the comments how much work on your roof will cost? Ask a question either to several contractors at once and compare, or if you make an estimate, you can contact the supplier directly. Serious companies will calculate everything for you for free, at the same time you will communicate with the manager more, maybe you will also get a discount for yourself. I took a metal tile in the Grandline for my double slope (gazebo + canopy). Everything was calculated, brought, neatly packaged, the third year I do not know the troubles. Who needs it, site grandline.ru

   tell me the approximate cost of the work. Hangar in the Moscow region. Roof sandwich panel. The work is to unwind. lift the top sheet from the sandwich panel into a brazen one. glue the joints with sealant tape. spin back. Our building materials. The total length of the joints is 400 meters. Some part of the roof is generally not twisted, respectively, we twist about 50 meters, thanks in advance.

4. Vladimir

   how much does it cost to cover a roof from a metal tile on a soft roof - 183 sq.m.

5. George

   If you can calculate the approximate cost of work with your materials:
   1. Remove the galvanized iron roof statue.
   2. Insulate with 150 mm basalt (or other material) slabs. with hydro and vapor barrier.
   3. Cover the roof with metal tiles.
   4. Insulate the pediments over the lining (offer an option for insulation).
   The roof is gable, area 120 sq. m.. Gables of 18 square meters. m. With Windows Of 1.8 Sq. m.
   I can send a drawing of the roof and gables to your E-mail.

Modern building technologies and roofing materials allow developers to obtain a completely high-quality and durable roof with relatively small financial losses.

But in order to have the expected end result, several conditions must be met.

1. Choosing the right roofing material, taking into account the features of the truss system. The more complex the roof, the more non-productive waste from sheet roofing materials, in some cases it can reach 15%. This has a negative impact on the final estimated cost of the roof, for them it is better to select piece cheap price segment or flexible roofing materials.

   

2. Pre-calculate the cost of installation. Most specialist companies and professional construction crews make long estimates of their work only as a distraction. They calculate the final price of services simply - within 60-80% of the cost of materials. For very complex roofs, a special coefficient is applied. If there is a desire to have a cheap coating, then it is recommended to make simple designs of truss systems with a minimum number of various architectural elements on their surfaces.

   

3. Realistically assess your own qualifications. It is very difficult to cover the roof with your own hands without practical experience in performing construction work. The results of such actions can be significant losses and the need to redo the roof. Sometimes it is better to invite an experienced roofer to help and be his assistant than to allow marriage during roofing. Moreover, it is very difficult and time-consuming to cover houses alone; safety regulations prohibit doing such work.

   

It is important to remember that a cheap roof is not one that requires minimal financial resources to cover. Two other very important factors must be taken into account: the duration of operation and the cost of periodic maintenance. There is no savings in using very cheap roofing materials if such a roof has to be serviced frequently and then completely replaced after a few years.

For example, if the price of an expensive roof is five times higher than the cost of a cheap one, but its service life is ten times longer, then it is cheaper to use expensive roofing. You can invest 50 thousand rubles in the roof, but it will be operated for 10 years, or you can invest 200 thousand rubles. and serve for 50 years. In the first case, the cost of one year of operation is 5 thousand rubles, and in the second case, 4 thousand rubles. The result of an expensive roof is a direct financial savings in the amount of one thousand rubles annually. In addition to material benefits, one should also consider beautiful appearance, ease of maintenance, etc. Smart Europeans say that they are not rich enough to buy cheap roofing materials.

In this article, we will look at the options for the cheapest house coverings based on the fact that developers at the moment have financial difficulties and cover the roof temporarily in order to solve financial problems in a few years and replace temporary roofing.

Modern manufacturers produce a wide variety of different types of the same type of material. In terms of cost and durability, they differ at times, or even an order of magnitude. The comparison table will indicate the technical parameters and cost of the cheapest types of roofing materials of each type.

Materials for inclined truss systems were considered. Flat roofs are extremely rarely used on private houses, and then only on exclusive expensive buildings. Flat roofs are used on them, coatings, respectively, are very expensive.

It is considered one of the cheapest roofing materials, the commercial name is euroslate. True, manufacturers do not specify that such slate in Europe is used only for arranging the roofs of outbuildings; it is not found in residential buildings.

It is made from secondary raw materials (waste paper) and paper production waste (substandard cellulose), modified bitumen is used as a waterproof impregnation. To change the color of the surface, they are painted with stable dyes. More expensive types of ondulin are dyed during sheet pressing, mineral dyes are added to the mass. At the final stage, stone chips can be glued to the surface.

The shape of ondulin resembles wavy slate. It is wavy coatings that have the highest performance characteristics - maximum strength with a minimum thickness, greater resistance to bending loads, minimal risks of leakage, stability of the direction of water drainage.

Cheap varieties of ondulin have an extremely limited service life, due to exposure to ultraviolet rays, bitumen loses its plasticity, microcracks appear on the surface, gradually increasing in size, the base breaks and leaks appear. The surface changes color, lichens and mosses quickly develop on it. The edges of the sheets are deformed and bent, the appearance and tightness of the roof deteriorate significantly.

Prices for various types of ondulin

Traditional material, recently banned in developed countries for use. The reason is that asbestos accumulates in the body and has carcinogenic properties. Such statements are very doubtful, many millions of our compatriots have been living in houses under a slate roof for decades, and for this reason no sharp bursts of cancer have been observed.

The service life is 30 years, but in practice it serves 50 or more. Resistant to aggressive chemical compounds, including urban smog. Modern slate is produced with a wide range of colors - it is possible to improve the design look of the house.

The cost is unmatched, it is considered the cheapest option. Sheets can have 6-8 waves, thickness up to 5 mm.

Like all roofing materials, slate has a number of disadvantages.

Asbestos-cement corrugated slate is not widely popular; it is installed on cheap rural buildings.
