The construction of the roof portends the speedy end of any construction work at the facility. However, in its importance, this stage is difficult to compare with anything. The roof not only protects the house from bad weather or wind, but also plays an important role in heat and moisture regulation of any structure.
Building a roof of a private house: Designing
Roof – an integral part of the project of any house. However, let’s delimit the concepts of the roof (the supporting structure, rafters, racks and other nodes) and roof (roofing material). Then, you need to decide which roof you want to do. The shape of the roofs can be very different, from simple single -toe, which is suitable for household buildings, to the most difficult structures. In private housing construction, simple gable, holly or attic and multi -protrusion, complex, roofs are most often equipped. The roof is largely on the complexity of the perimeter of the house. The more angles you have and more difficult, the configuration, it will be more difficult to roof there.
Roofs are both cold and insulated. The latter are necessary for the arrangement of attic. By the way, such a roof weighs a lot, due to the mass of the heat insulator and a more serious rafter system. This should be taken into account when designing.
Structurally, the most important parts of the roof are: Mauerlat – or support beam. Root legs cling to it. The rafters actually, or farms, as they are also called. A horse that forms and binds the farms among themselves. On complex roofs, alternatives of the skate – lends or internal corners also appear. To maintain roofing material, a crate is perpendicular to the rafters, and the bars of the counterparty bars – for the arrangement of ventilation.
Construction of a roof of a private house: Materials
To arrange a roof of a private house, as a rule, selected and durable 150×50 boards for rafters and crate are used. The rafters gather on the ground according to a pre -assembled template, which helps to withstand the angle of rafters.
To protect the material, wood is treated with impregnations. In addition, modern polymer films also work to protect the supporting structures. A vapor barrier is laid from the inside that protects from moisture from the room. It also sprinkles insulation if it is provided for. Outside, under the roofing material, hydraulic – or wind-, moisture protection. It prevents moisture from the outside and helps in arranging roof ventilation. Water simply rolls along its surface, without getting on the constructs and in the insulation.
Mineral or polymeric materials act as a heat insulator. They are necessary for residential roofs, t. To. not only protect against cold, but also regulate the temperature during the heat.
The roofing itself must be chosen both taking into account the roof configuration, and according to the construction budget. However, cheap metal materials will be inconvenient on a complex roof, t. To. will give a lot of waste and trims. Flexible tiles are useful here much more.
Natural stone, slate or ceramic tiles require a serious rafter system. And cheaper Ondulin, Ondutis and such roofs do not serve so long. Therefore, here the choice is yours.
