The minimum roof inclination – 5°
We offer two types of sheet metal roofing panels. One with the smooth finishing surface. The other has two strengthening ribs.
Installation
Sheet metal panels can be laid on the wooden planks. Timber materials should be dry and covered with antiseptic agent. The preferred dimensions of the planks are 22 x 100 or 25 x 100 mm. The planks should be calibrated. The distance between the plank of the roof board depends on the angle of inclination of the roof and the distance between the rafters which is usually between 20 and 60 mm. Planks are fastened to the rafters with two screws and zinc nails.
In addition planks are required for the roof eaves, ridges and valley parts, around the chimneys and roof hatches for snow barriers and other roofing protection elements. Beneath the planks an antioxidant film should be installed.
To fasten roofing panels 0,5 mm thick metal brackets are used or 20 x 60 mm metal strips produced from sheet metal panel cut out leftovers. Brackets are fastened to the planks with zinc screws or nails. The amount of brackets depends on the building location and height. The maximum speed of the wind should be taken into account as well. The minimal bracket amount in the central part of the roof is 4 items per 1 square meter and 5 items per 1 square meter closer to the roof edges and eaves. As a result the recommended distance (step) between brackets is 350 – 450 mm. Mastic should be applied in the place of seam areas.
Roofing panels can be fastened to each ocher with the help of mallet or for faster result with the help of special roof rolling tool.
The minimal required plank array close to the valleys is 500 mm for both sides and 1000 mm close to the stovepipes for both sides.
Maintenance requirements
Water and soft brush are usually used to clean the dirt from the roof. If the surface is very dirty, cleaning soap can be used as a detergent for painted surfaces. After the use of the funds, the surface should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
The steeper the roof is, the shorter the snow remains on its color coated surface without providing additional load on the overall roofing constructions. If the roof has a slight slope, the snow sticks to it, as a result it should be cleaned off the roof for safety reasons. Before cleaning the snow from the roof the instruments should carefully selected. They should not scratch or distort the surface of the panels.
