Roof coating with corrugated board

From the quality of the roof, the integrity and durability of the entire structure depends. Profiled sheeting is a profiled sheet of galvanized steel, coated with polymer paint, it is a reliable roofing material.

Covering one-or gable roof of the house with profiled sheeting can be done with your own hands even without special skills. The main thing is to choose a strong material with profile grooves that will provide a drainage of moisture for the roof.

The procedure for covering the roof with corrugated board

Before you cover the roof with roofing sheets, you need to carefully deliver them into place. The material is transported by piles that are folded onto wooden logs. Mounting the corrugated board should not start in windy weather - this can contribute to its damage.

For the works you will need:

  1. protection of metal from corrosion requires the installation of waterproofing over the crate and vapor barrier under it.
  2. To raise the profiled sheets, a rope and a hook are used on the roof. So you can gently lift and do not crumple the cover.
  3. The sheets are laid from the edge of the roof from the bottom up. At the same time, the moisture that will flow down the roof will not fall into the space under the material.
  4. On one side of the profile, there is a capillary trough, which serves to remove moisture that has fallen under the joint of the structural parts. When laying the material, this groove should be covered with a wave of the next sheet. The first profile is carefully leveled, the quality of the entire work depends on the correctness of its placement.
  5. Self-tapping screws and screwdrivers are used for fixing. Profiled sheeting is fixed to the crate with self-tapping screws with washers painted to match the color of the material. Thus, they become less noticeable in the architectural ensemble.
  6. Each screw is supplied with a neopreon gasket, which prevents the ingress of moisture. To screw them onto the screwdriver, a special nozzle is worn.
  7. Self-tapping screws are installed in a staggered manner in the lower part of the wave. The amount of installation is 6-10 pieces per square meter of coverage. The sheets are thin and the screws easily pass through them.
  8. Sheets of corrugated board are installed lapped. Each subsequent sheet is aligned with the previous one in such a way that a flat horizontal line forms on the bottom of the roof slope.
  9. Gradually covers the front part of the roof.
  10. The roof covering is laid on the other side of the gable roof. The joint of the roof is covered with a ridge. It performs a protective function at the junction of two rafters, and also decorates the structure. Skates against each other are also installed with an overlap. When attaching the screw to the skate, it is screwed into the upper wave of the leaf of the blade.
  11. On the edge of the roof are installed snow holders on the side of the porch of the house. They can be fastened in a row or in staggered order.
  12. The chimney is lined. Sheets are cut with scissors on the ground. A decorative box is made for the pipe. Joints and all complex internal corners of the construction are sealed with a sealant to prevent moisture from entering them.
  13. A chimney is installed on the chimney.
  14. The roof is ready.

The roof made of steel sheets fits perfectly into modern architecture. Bright sheets of corrugated sheet make it possible to create an attractive coating for any roof - broken or gable. It will protect the structure from atmospheric precipitation and give the roof a special style and individuality. Affordable cost and easy installation makes this material popular among consumers.
