In modern conditions, a roof from corrugated board ─ a corrugated metal sheet ─ is more and wider due to relative cheapness, slight weight, ease of installation and at the same time high strength. The material for the corrugated board is mainly galvanized steel, which provides the roof with good protection against corrosion and durability. Additional coverage of sheets with polymer materials gives even greater protection against adverse weather conditions. A wide selection of color solutions meets high aesthetic requirements. As you can see, the roof of corrugated board is the perfect coating of the roof of almost any object, including large.
If necessary, the installation of a roof from corrugated board can be performed on their own. In this case, you need to follow simple rules, and there will be no problems:
A layer of waterproofing should be laid between the sheets of corrugated board and the insulation and air access due to sagging of the insulating film;
sheets are attached to a crate impregnated with an antiseptic;
All fasteners are carried out in the lower part of the trapezoid of the corrugated board with galvanized screws with a diameter of 4.8 mm with rubber gaskets, and there should be 5-8 pieces per square meter;
holes should be drilled for screws of slightly larger diameter than that of screws;
Self -tapping screws should be screwed strictly vertically, while you can use a screwdriver or drill at low speed;
Between themselves, the sheets are fastened with the extreme shelves with the help of rivets with a diameter of 3.2-6.6 mm, and the joints should be covered with a layer of silicone sealant;
Moving along the sheets of corrugated board should be carefully, between the “waves”, using special shoes or “skis” to avoid damage to the surface and deformation of the sheet;
It is best to cut the sheets of corrugated board with an electrician or cut -off electronics;
damage to the coating or layer of galvanizing corrugated board when using cutting tools must be immediately eliminated;
sawdust and chips after processing the sheets need to be immediately removed, and the pruning places should be covered with a layer of paint to protect against corrosion.
Of course, as in any work, when installing a roof from corrugated board, there are many nuances that are known only to professionals. Given the special climatic conditions, the roof in St. Petersburg is a very important part of buildings and structures. The sheets of corrugated board, qualitatively mounted on the roof, allow you to do without repair and replacement of the roof for many years, and a somewhat “plain” form of corrugated steel from galvanized steel is more than compensated by its low cost and durability.
It should be noted that sheets made of profiled galvanized steel, although strong, require a “delicate” bypass.
During storage and transportation, they should be laid on wooden pallets with a thickness of at least 20 cm.
When processing sheets from corrugated board, it is unacceptable to use abrasive tools in order to avoid hot particles to enter the coating that can be damaged. You can use caution, scissors for cutting tin, manual hacksaw or disk electric saw. Processed edges need to be painted with paint to protect against corrosion.
At least once a year, the roof from corrugated board should be thoroughly cleaned, removing the fallen foliage and small branches brought by the wind to the roof.
In case of damage to the coating of corrugated board or a deep scratch on the galley, it is desirable to paint over the damaged place with aerosol paint of a suitable shade.
The roof of corrugated board is a great replacement for flexible and ceramic tiles, metal tiles and other types of roofing materials. The price-quality ratio of such a roof is optimal. A huge selection of color shades allows you to give a roof an elegant look, and ease of installation ─ perform it yourself.
