Metal tile: installation instructions and video materials on laying

Choosing to cover the roof of metal tile, the developer assumes that the coating will be reliable and will last long enough. You can count on this result only if the installation technology is accurate. If laying of such a material as a metal tile - installation instructions should be studied regardless of whether the owner plans to conduct roofing work independently or will hire workers. In any case, the knowledge of the technology and nuances of work with the material will allow you to monitor the installation process.

Metal tile is a practical and beautiful material for covering the roof. Thanks to a large assortment of profile forms and coloring, you can pick up the most suitable option for any building.

The coating of metal tile is quite durable, however, errors in the work can significantly reduce its service life. Therefore, even before the start of work, it is necessary to study how it is necessary to carry out a roof of a metal tile - the instruction will help to understand all the subtleties and nuances of the workflow.

Getting ready for work

Before proceeding with the practical performance of work, you need to prepare well: learn text instructions, watch video materials. In addition, you need to buy all the necessary materials and prepare the tools so that in the installation process it has not had to stop the process due to the lack of screws or the absence of the necessary tool.

Preparing tools

In the process of work, masters will need:

  • The usual medium sized hammer;
  • Screwdriver having a special nozzle that allows you to twist the screws for metal tile;

Tip! To work on the roof, it is more convenient to work with power tools on batteries so that you should not stretch the extension cords and then get confused in the wires.

Tip! To cut the metal tile is not easy, so it is better to choose a tool with an electric drive. For example, an electrolovik, cutting electrical scissors for metal, a saber electric saw. But you can use the manual hacksaw with the teeth from the wins or manual scissors for metal. But the grinder is forbidden to apply for work with metal tile.

Cooking material

For high-quality performance, it will be necessary:

  • Naturally metal tile. Its quantity is determined by an area that is planned to be covered.

Tip! It must be remembered that the metal tile is the material oriented material, that is, the sheets have the top and bottom and turn them over, as a convenient developer cannot be. Because of this, the circumstances when laying the material on the roof of a complex shape greatly increases the consumption of material due to a large amount of waste.


Mounting Works - Instructions

The whole process of structural structures can be divided into several stages:

  • Preparation of "Roofing Cake";
  • Construction of flooring under the laying of metal tile;
  • Styling of material;
  • Installation of protective and functional elements of the roof.

Preparing roofing pie

If the device is planned to be a metal and hardware, then during the construction of the rafter system, the elements are placed in increments of 55 to 90 cm.

Tip! If a warmed roof is built, the step of the rafter is usually selected depending on the width of the insulating plate plates, since these plates are inserted between the beams of the rafting system.

Tip! Despite the fact that the single-row laying assumes a smaller number of joints and, accordingly, greater reliability, it is better to plan a double-row laying on long skates. The fact is that working with a large length sheets is much more complicated.


Construction of the crate


Laying sheets

Having finished the structure of the flooring, you can start the installation of metal tiles - the instruction gives a complete idea of \u200b\u200bworking with the material.

Tip! If it is necessary to cut the sheets, the location of the cut must be immediately painted with a special polymer anti-corrosion paint, chosen under the color of the metal tile. The same paint is used if the protective polymer coating is randomly damaged during the installation.

Sheets are attached with special hardware - screws. They have a hexagon head with a coating chosen under the color of metal tiles. The self-tapping screw is installed with an elastic washer that provides tightness of the connection.

Tip! To perform roofing works involving movement on the already laid metal tile, special shoes are used - without a heel and with a soft sole. Moreover, the cover is allowed only to the wave deflection and in those places of the roof, where the elements of the crates are located.

Styling of metal tile from the bottom corner of the skate begins. Materials are stacked with an adhesive width in one wave. First, it is recommended to assemble a block of 3-4 sheets of metal tile, while engaging them. And only then, aligning this block, attach it to the metal tile.

Installation of additional elements of the roof

Having completed the laying of the main coating, start the last stage of installation - installing additional elements:


So, the installation of the roof covering using metal tiles is a process that cannot be classified overly complex. However, during the work, it is very important to take into account the specific features of the metal tile and strictly observe the technique of laying this material on the roof.
