Decking is a universal facing material that is often used to cover roofs of houses. It has a sufficient level of strength, but it can easily be damaged during installation. This is because walking on corrugated board at the time of its laying on the roof can cause deformation of the material and loss of its original qualities.
In order to mount the roof from corrugated board and not damage the material during installation, you need to follow some rules. They are simple, and therefore even a beginner will not have questions regarding their compliance.
Rules for installing a profiled sheet
One of the most difficult tasks is to lift the material to the roof surface. Despite its light weight, it can be easily deformed due to strong gusts of wind, not calculated pressure or other factors.
To prevent deformation of the material when walking on its surface, all work should be carried out only in shoes with soft rubber soles. It should not be slippery to prevent an accidental fall of a person.
Another method to guarantee the absence of damage to the profiled sheet when it is mounted on the roof is its strong and reliable grip with the frame, which plays the role of a crate. In the process of fastening, you need to use special screws with a neoprene gasket. Such a gasket will protect against moisture seepage under the roofing and condensation.
It is strictly forbidden to fasten profiled sheets with steel nails or rivets. This is because such methods do not guarantee a reliable installation. This is especially true for regions where windy and rainy weather is often.
On which roofs can you lay corrugated board?
You can mount the profiled sheet only on the bases of the roofs, the angle of which is at least 12 degrees. If the angle of inclination is more than 30 degrees, it is necessary to lay sheets of material with an overlap, reliably fastening them together. All seams obtained during the installation process should be carefully lubricated with sealants that are resistant to moisture and ultraviolet rays or bitumen mastic.
Before starting installation, it is recommended to prepare all the necessary tools:
- Hacksaw for metal;
- Screwdriver;
- Tape measure for measurements;
- Marker for marking;
- Electric saw and jigsaw.
Preliminary preparation will reduce installation time and save energy.
