ROOFS FOR HOUSES

Warm SIP roof

 

To begin with, what is the SIP panel? It is an innovative building material, which involves the use of OS panels with a high level of moisture resistance, timber and polystyrene foam, which are glued in layers in the form of a “sandwich”.

Advantages of using SIP panels for the erection of a roof

SIP-panels compare favorably with classical building materials used for the construction of the roof. Among the main advantages are:

-fast installation;

-No need for additional vapor barriers and insulation of the roof;

-Significant indicators of resistance to heat transfer;

-A high level of rigidity of the plates, which provides the ability to withstand considerable stress;

-Excellent noise insulation;

-long life.

Quick installation

For laying and fixing the SIP panels requires installation of mauerlat, as well as ridge and junction bars, which takes many times less time than the installation of rafters. Another undeniable advantage is the possibility of installing SIP-panels at any time of year, since precipitation and the range of temperature parameters have no adverse effect on either the boards themselves or the foam used to fill the joints between them.

Insulation and vapor barrier of the roof

Given the fact that the very fact that the SIP panel in a layer of the “pie” has a heater, which provides low thermal conductivity, it can be argued that this structure is a barrier between the warm air inside and the cold outside. In this case, the level of air permeability of this insulation allows warm air to penetrate outward, which eliminates the need to arrange a vapor barrier layer.

House heating

To date, the energy efficiency of SIP panels is the highest in comparison with other materials used in the arrangement of the roof. Thus, to heat a house with a warm SIP-roof requires significantly less heat, which saves costs for a comfortable temperature in the house in the cold season.

Load on the roof

Using SIP-panels for the arrangement of the roof, the structure assumes a solid monolith of sufficiently durable plates that can withstand much greater loads on the roof plane than the rafters of traditional materials.

Soundproofing

Insulation used in SiP-panels provides a high level of sound absorption. At the same time, the flat and smooth surface of the board itself allows the installation of roofing materials that increase the soundproofing performance. These include:

-flexible tiles;

-rubberoid;

-melted roofing;

-andulin.

Longevity

Service life of SIP-panels is 80 years, which guarantees the duration of use of this material without loss of quality.

Among the disadvantages in the use of SIP-panels for the erection of the roof should be noted only a considerable cost and the need to install a system for forced ventilation. But these factors largely pay for themselves by reducing the cost of heating the house.

Thus, it can be noted that the installation of a warm SIP-roof is quick and easy, it has high rates of resistance to heat transfer, provides excellent noise insulation and saves on heating.

How to choose the right roofing material

To achieve a result that will have an attractive appearance and qualities necessary for the normal functioning of the roof, professionals recommend paying attention to the following factors:

-Facade and roof must match visually;

-must be accessible to the surface treatment;

-the price of the material;

-The weight of the material used (must be taken into account in the design of the roof);

-Appearance, satisfying the taste of the owner;

-The roof must meet certain requirements.

A variety of materials are used to cover pitched roofs, the main ones are:

Metal roofing .

This material is characterized by an impressive list of advantages:

-High service life;

-Durability against mechanical damage:

-resistance to moisture;

-Wear resistance;

-Resistant to external factors, retains color;

-Reliably protects from the effects of UV radiation;

-Low weight.

The weight of metal allows you to recognize it as the best option for roofs with unusual configurations, attics, as well as large areas. Using this material is relatively inexpensive, but you should consider the following components. Metal is accompanied by increased noise, especially in rainy days, to prevent this drawback will require high-quality sound insulation of the roof, you need to use double crate and waterproofing. In addition, the installation must be done with the utmost care to avoid dents.

 

Ceramic tiles

The use of modern technology has significantly improved the quality and appearance of clay tiles for several decades.

It is characterized by the following qualities:

-reliability;

-durability;

-durability;

-Resistance to moisture;

-Absolutely does not transmit ultraviolet.

For all its positive qualities, it has disadvantages: a large mass and a significant price.

Ondulin:

Ondulin is one of the economical options for covering the roof of the house. The material consists of pressed cardboard impregnated with bitumen. Its forms imitate slate. The material is presented in a variety of colors. The advantages of this material are reliability, ease, simplified installation procedure, does not require additional soundproofing. Ondulin is mounted on a deck of slats.

Slate:

The most common material due to its low cost. Slate roof has certain positive qualities: it is durable and resistant to fire, confidently withstands mechanical damage, can withstand considerable stress. However, slate over time under the influence of moisture its edges crumble, and on the shaded areas of the roof appears lichen.

Trapezoidal sheeting:

Given the reliability and durability of corrugated sheeting, experts quite often use it to cover roofs.

Advantages:

-Comparatively low weight of the material, allowing its use in combination with various structures;

-durability;

-Environmental friendliness;

-Installation does not require special skills, is carried out in a short time;

-A large choice of colors;

-Installation is carried out at any temperature.

Disadvantages:

-high noise level during rain;

-Significant amount of material for complex roofs;

-corrosive

-cuts and holes must be painted;

-accompanied by additional thermal insulation;

-To prevent condensation caused by temperature differences, requires waterproofing.

Flexible roofing or shingles

Flexible tile – seamless coating, made of fiberglass impregnated with bitumen, on the outside is applied a thin basalt layer of different colors. This material has all the positive qualities of metal:

-strength;

-Thermal and sound insulation;

-Provides sealing.

This material is designed for owners whose homes are characterized by originality and unusual designs.
