Polymer-sand tile is an analognatural shingles. But this material can be called qualitatively new. This roof covering is more advantageous than analogues in many characteristics. Consider everything in order.
Reviews
Описываемый материал легче натурального в 2 раза, but it costs much less. With the help of such a coating, it is possible to provide much better quality of heat and noise insulation if we compare with metal roofing. Consumers especially note the absence of corrosion processes. It is impossible not to pay attention to strength characteristics.
Tile polymer sand is popular among privatemasters and professional builders also because of the resistance to ultraviolet radiation. It can be operated with significant temperature changes, the range varies from -65 to +100 degrees. Owners of private houses that used as a covering material described, note that during the entire life of the coating retains its attractiveness. Manufacturers ensure that full decomposition of the polymer-based film takes about 100 years.
Reviews on moisture absorption and heat conductivity
If you chose tile polymer sand,then you can count on a small water absorption coefficient. This indicates that this material will cope with the function of protection from moss, fungus, mold, as well as the effects of moisture and acid rain. This material is distributed on the market also for the reason that it has low thermal conductivity. This indicates that in the space under the roof will be maintained a constant temperature regime. Under such a roof it will be warm in winter and cool on a hot summer day. Therefore, polymer-sandy shingles are used in the arrangement of terraces and mansards.
Reviews about soundproofing and impact resistance
Специалисты советуют выбирать описываемый material due to a set of useful characteristics (by the type of insignificant heat conductivity and water impermeability). This becomes a reliable barrier to condensation. Consequently, the roofing structure is protected against destruction, which particularly applies to wood elements. Owners of private houses try to choose materials that are different in sound absorption before the roofing. When laying a polymer-sandblast roof, additional sound-absorbing interlayers will not be necessary. The roof will be noiseless in any weather. You can also count on impact resistance. Companies involved in the transportation of building materials, note that polymer sand tiles, reviews about which are often only positive, do not beat during transportation and packing. It meets the standards and requirements of sanitary, fire and radiation safety.
How and what to mount polymer sand shingles
Installation of polymer sandblasting can be madeyourself. The manufacturer took care of this, providing the back of the canvas in the upper part with a special protrusion, which is necessary for fixing to the crate. Among themselves, the components are engaged with the help of side locks, which makes it possible to form a continuous carpet, which is called a roofing covering. Polymer sand shingles, the photo of which is presented in the article, has technological holes in each element (in the number of two).
Work should start from the bottom row.The fixing system should not be rigidly applied to the grid system - each mounting must have a backlash. Then you will ensure the possibility of free movement, which is necessary for deformation expansion under temperature influence. Among other things, the roof must be able to sense the load from wind, snow, and other natural factors without deformations.
Features of installation work
Укладка полимерпесчаной черепицы должна made in such a way that after fixing on the front side there were no rust stains. In order to exclude this phenomenon, galvanized nails or anodized screws should be used as fixing elements. Nails are more preferable, as they speed up the installation work, and are also able to provide not too rigid fastening. With regard to the wind, or, as it is also called, pediment tiles, as well as ridge, these elements are strengthened with the help of anodized screws. In the course of work, there will certainly be a need for cutting the material, for this you can use a hacksaw designed for working on metal, or a Bulgarian.
Recommendations of professionals
Start work is necessary with the arrangementrafter system. It should be remembered that the total weight of the roof will be quite significant, despite the fact that the described covering material has a negligible weight, because the system will have a system of crates, as well as rafter legs. For this reason, consideration should be given to calculating the cross-section of the bar, taking into account the loads that will be imposed on it. This includes external temporal influences such as snow, wind, etc.
The most common for the wire is a barsquare section, whose side is equal to 50 millimeters. In the course of the device, the flooring should be covered with steam and waterproofing. These layers are needed to protect the roof from weathering and to avoid moisture components. This insulation will not interfere with air circulation between the elements.
Conclusion
Choosing steam and waterproofing, you can useA special insulating film, which is also called diffusion. To the grate it should be fastened with the help of staples of a construction stapler, it may have to be rented. Some home masters refuse to use these layers, while experts insist that they are present.
