Roof swings - Available options and ways

To look at the roof of the house, it was nice to look from all sides, and all the rafter elements were reliably protected it should be accurately separated. One of these "cosmetic" operations is the fusion of the soles of the roof. It will give both the rooftop and the house itself the desired completion, and at the same time will give additional protection. Next - more about what is such a liner, which materials it requires and how it is performed.

The device of the sleeves of the roof, their benefits and purpose

Svet, it is customary to call the bottom of the roof protruding for the level of the walls of the house. It protects the foundation and walls from the rain. His width can range from 40 centimeters to a meter. In principle, according to the rules of construction, it is not at all necessary to make the binder of this part of the building.

However, some troubles may occur. For example, a strong wind, applied on the side of the roof unprotected by the sink, may simply disrupt the roofing coating. And I want to hide the wrong roof with all the layers of her "cake" - waterproofing, insulation and the ugly bottom of the rafted. According to the rules, the roof is laid after all the installation works. Also before that, the insulation of all external walls of the house and their finishing should be carried out. That is, the firm is a kind of final stage of construction and the external finishing of your home.

Fronton and cornize Sve and their difference

There are two types of sinks - horizontal, they are also called cornice and frontal. The abnormal sink is formed by the lower part of the pitched roof, and the frontal skes are inclined swells formed by the side of the skate.

#1. Outskirts.

It makes up the lower part of the inclined roof, contributing to the passage of air into the attic. This is characteristic of the roofs of an attic type. But at the mansard roofs, the air through the skes arrives inside the "roofing pie" - where the air layer is there. Then the air continues its path upstairs to the skate itself. This is how the roof ventilation occurs.

And now I will imagine that Svet will be tightly scored, for example, boards. It will not be good - ventilation will not be carried out. However, if the cover of the roof is not done at all, then the mice will be able to climb the birds or insects under the roof. The rafters will need to protect the paint, and then the fog and moisture will damage them.

Attention! Of all the above, we conclude that the binder of the eaves should be done not dense, but ventilated.

This very ventilation can be performed in several ways:

  • The most elementary option is to leave the gap between the wall of the building and the binder. If professional flooring is used for the binder, then this clearance should be from 0.6 to 1.2 centimeters, for lining or siding - from 1 to 1.5 centimeters.
  • For such options for covering the roof eaves, like metal sheets, stoves or lining, you can apply ready-made ventilation grilles that are mounted in the material.
  • If the soles are trimmed with boards, it makes gaps between them, from half a centimeter to centimeter.
  • Using sofa, you can apply perforated material created specifically for these purposes.

Rule number 1. In terms of volume, the ventilation openings cannot be less than one five-way part of the entire area for ventilation. In this case, the roof is based on bitumen, as well as a fold type requires a larger diameter of these holes than the clay tiled roof. After all, the latter still "breathes."

Rule number 2. All holes for ventilation must be covered with lattices. If it is slit, we use the grid. Such a measure will protect them from dirt, leaves, insects and birds.

It is formed by the side of the skate, located under the tilt. No need to worry about ventilation, but about proper protection from wind and moisture should be taken care. Otherwise, a strong wind blowing gusts, can drive the rain between the shellboards that protrude out. And this is already serious, as the insulation can wet, having ceased to keep warmly warm.

Attention! Therefore, when working with the finishing of the front-distance swallow, tightness comes to the fore.

Finishing the edge of Sveza

Both types of swells from the ends are unlocked elements. In the cornese swell, these are the end parts of the rafted, and for the frontal sweep - the ends of the crate. It is necessary to accurately arrange them, defending it from bad weather. In addition, the casts of the cornice require the installation along them the gutters of the drain. In general, finishing the end of the sink is the trim of the edge. And what to do with it depends on the roofing material that you applied. By the way, often in a set with roofing already there is already a set for design and edge sewing.

Before making the cover of the roof eaves, it is necessary to cut vertically, on one line, all sticking rafters or kills. Crop them need strictly at one distance from the wall. Then the ends of the rafter are combined with a strapping board, which is nourished with a frontal board (usually metallic). The frontal board is usually complete with a metal, ceramic and bituminous tiles. This detail is made of wood covered with paint or composition for protection. It is on this board in the future the drainage gutter is mounted.

Fronton Sve process so. First cut the boards of crates protruding by the wall. The cut line should be parallel to this wall. The end board (wooden or metal) is nailed to the cropped edges of the crate and to the end of the skate bar. The material for the roof, in length equal to the length of the eaves, cover the end part of the board.

Two main ways to binder soles

The variety of options for firing over the roof of the roof. This can be done perpendicularly and parallel to the scene, use whole sheets or individual planks, apply various materials and structures for fixing parts. However, in essence, the binder technology is only two.

Svet liner right by rafters

This is perhaps the easiest way. The main thing is that the plane at the lower ends of the rafter was common. This method is suitable primarily for the roofs with a small slope, not more than 30 degrees, and the removal of no more than 40 - 50 centimeters. Hem on the crate made of boards or bars and screwed to the rafters. The firmware can be placed parallel to the wall, along the end of the rafter, and you can fill and perpendicular to the plane of the rafted.

Horizontal liner

It is indispensable when the roof has a steep slope. In this case, the installation runs quickly, and the material is significantly saved. To work, it is necessary to build the so-called box from the bars, attaching it to the wall and to the rafters (from above and below). So that the water, hitting the sinks, could easily drain, the bar, located on the rafters, should be on a centimeter below the wall timber. From the corners of the roof to corners of the house nourishes the boards. When the sink is more than 45 centimeters, you will need another longitudinal bar in the middle. The remaining longitudinal bars enhance the bars, putting them into them perpendicular to the wall.

FRONTONTON SWEE - ALWAYS ON CHAIR

At the same time, we do not pay attention to the method of covering the sink of the cornice. Roll or boards fix directly on the crate. These bars or boards, which go along the front, fasten the sheaving planks.

Materials for the ber

Choosing a material for squeezing, you need to coordinate it with the style of the house. Agree - not much aesthetically, the cover of the roof is plastic white, if the house is wooden, and even dark.

The board is better planed, but the edged

It is better to take the boards of coniferous wood, width from 5 to 25 centimeters, and a thickness of 1.7 to 2.2 centimeters. Before installation, I need antiseptic, varnish or paint processing. Before work, you need to give a board a month to lie down on the street under a canopy - otherwise it will be too dry or wet, then she will be swollen.

Saving sv, between the boards make slots in a centimeter or one and a half for ventilation. When mounting the boards perpendicular to the walls of them are fixed from two sides (if the Sveom is wide, then in the third place - in the center of the board). If the boards are mounted parallel to the walls, fix them through each meter.

It is inexpensive, from $ 120 per cubic meter, or from $ 2.2 per square meter.

Wooden wall

This material is good because it is already processed (unlike boards), therefore, and is in great demand. To cover the sink, it is necessary to take a moisture-resistant lining, designed to work in these conditions. Like the board, this material is also needed to hold the month in the open air. Mounting methods are the same as for the board, only the cracks are not needed. Instead, use ready-made grills for ventilation, at a distance of each other 1.5 meters.

Cost - from $ 6 per square meter.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Siding

For the binder need siding, which has moisture protection. It is included in the kit everything you need: it is the bands in the form of the letter "P" to finish the edge, and the corners for fastening the places of the joints of the planks, and the grid for ventilation. Mount the planks perpendicular to the walls, attacking them in two, three or four places. The number of places of fastening depends on what width of the sole. Fix PVC panels along the roof of the roof is not recommended as it is not as hard as wooden planks and requires a large amount of fasteners and can be fed.

Cost - from $ 4 per square meter.

Professional flooring (Professionalist)

This material is easy to install - after all, it can be laid in large planes, and attaching with the same distance as the board. His high profile can be from 0.8 to 2 centimeters. When feeding the sinks of the roof, the straw is a gap from 0.6 to 1.2 centimeters (depends on the temperature expansion). Ventilation is made using special lattices.

Cost - from $ 9 per meter square.

Sheet metal

It may be galvanized or polymer coated steel, as well as aluminum or copper. The thickness of the sheets is from 0.6 to 0.8 millimeters, and the length is up to 6 meters. For ventilation, you can either lattice ready to insert, or perforated pieces of sheets. Where the cutting line passes, steel sheets are treated from corrosion (for aluminum and copper it is not necessary). The minus applying such materials is that a special tool is needed for cutting.

Cost - from $ 5 per square meter.

Plywood and OSP

To binder soles, taking the brand of materials that are waterproof. These stoves are hard enough, you can mount large pieces. For this make a box of wooden bars - the plates screw to it. Fasten them every 1 - 1.2 meters. Ready lattices cut for ventilation. Swees from this material certainly need to paint, otherwise it looks not very beautiful.

Plywood costs about $ 6.5 per meter square, OSP is about 2 times cheaper.

Sofit's roof liner - quickly, simple and reliable

Sophytes are planks manufactured specifically for swinging scenes. They can be made of various materials. In particular, from such as PVC, steel, copper, aluminum. Having a large color palette and various textures, sophytes can be selected for the design of any home.

Included there are the following main details:

  • Soft panels;
  • front planks (otherwise, chamfering);
  • j-shaped profiles having grooves;
  • finish planks.


The appearance of sofit and challenges may differ depending on the manufacturer and manufacturing material.

Sophisticated panels are triple, double and single, solid (for frontal) and perforated (for cornices).

It should be noted that the fusion of the roofs of the roof sofit greatly simplifies the work. For this, you do not need to attract experienced builders - and you can handle it yourself. Cut the strips according to the width of the sink and consolidate them perpendicular to the walls on profiles with grooves - that's all the trick of installation.

PVC stacks from 10 - 12 $ per square meter, and fasteners and chamfer - 5 times cheaper.

Compare prices for materials for the fusion of the roof overlooks, the price is per 1 m 2:

Most often, the installation of sofits is produced horizontally, although in some cases the mount along the rafting legs is used. For horizontal attachment, a special doom is made, how to make it described above or in the video instructions shown below. Then all the necessary elements are fixed on this crate.


1. To begin with, the J-profile of the required size is measured, for this apply a profile across the sink and apply a label.


2. Cut the profile in size with the "Bulgarian", it cuts everything quickly, and the slice remains smooth.


3. After that, the profile is attached to a wooden frame with self-tapping screws.


4. After all profiles are fixed, the distance between the two profiles is measured to find out the size of the softe plate. After that, the slats of the sofit of the required size are cut.
