What to cover the bath

The roof is an important element of any building, including a bath, as it takes on the beats of the elements, be it rain, hail, snow or wind. As a rule, a single or twin roof is emitted for the bath. But the multicate is practically not used, as this leads to complication of works and in particular waterproofing.

Bath roof design

When choosing a roof design, it is recommended to be guided by some rules that are as follows:

For a bath in the form of a separate building, a row roof is well suitable. If the bath is adjacent to the house - a single-sided, whose slope is 50-60˚.
If you plan to build a small bath, the area of \u200b\u200bwhich is not more than 12-15 square meters, then for it, select a single roof. For buildings, it can be rarely erected.
When construction work occurs in the area where abundant precipitates are observed, the roof should be built at an angle of 45˚ to reduce the accumulation of snow.
In open windy terrain, to which the steppe and forest-steppe include, the roof must be used to decrease the sail. Different materials require the arrangement of various bases: for rigid materials to which the profiled sheet, tile or slate is calculated, installation of the crate is required. Under the rolled roof is required to lay solid flooring.

Selection of roof material

Since ancient times, the bath roof was covered with a grain material:

Chip. The roof looks good and is durable, especially on steep scath. Best for this case fits chips made of coniferous rocks. You can also use aspen. The material is placed in 3 layers, each element must overlap the previous one.
Turf. In the bituminous mastic first laid gravel. Then there is a brace of turf, which is a steeter in 2 layers: the first must be facing the roots up, the roots of the second layer are directed down. The main advantage of the material consists in the absence of the need for additional insulation of the ceiling surface. However, remember that the roof will be heavy. In addition, on hot days it is recommended to make the roof with water made from the turf.
TURN. This material has a small weight, the roof is easy. But it is ignorated and needs impregnation using a protective material. To this end, you can use a refractory bitumen, and oil paint is also suitable. To prevent possible roof leaks, boards that form the lower row, you need to turn to the top of the tray. When installing the upper row come around.

Among modern roofing materials there are also those covered by baths:

Ruberoid. Used for the roof, the angle of which is from 5 °. The time of useful exploitation reaches 15 years.
Slate. This material is worth applied to the roof equipped at an angle of more than 20 degrees. Service time is limited to 40 years.
Profiled sheet. Suitable for the roof, the slope of which exceeds 8 °. The material is distinguished by significant durability exceeding 50 years.
Folding roof. It is used for the roof, the angle of inclination is more than 18 °. The service life is the same as in the professional flooring.
Metal tile. You can cover the roof, which is constructed at an angle of 30 degrees. The material is durable, since it does not lose its properties over five decades.

Tough roofing

Consider the process of the roofing device for a bath with slate:

By slate should be pre-equipped the crate, withstanding a slope of 27 °. The bars must be stacked with a step of 0.8-1 meters.
To give greater reliability of the coating, the rubberoid is laid under the slate. But then the crate make solid.
Slate is recommended to lay a rotary. But if the roof has a steep slope, then the upper near the bottom. The backrest is 120 millimeters. If it is common, the backstage reaches 140 millimeters.
For fastening sheets, slate nails are used, which are anti-corrosion and have a length of about 12 centimeters. Do not forget that under them need to lay the washers made of rubber or toli.
If strong winds prevail on the ground, screw the slate with screws. The gaps, including those that were formed between the sheets, need to be embedded using bitumen mastic. The layer should be 5-6 millimeters.
A steel sheet is used for the skate to be cut along 4 parts, bend and fix in the desired place.

Soft roof for a bath

The roof that is manufactured from rolled materials is a carpet consisting of three or four layers, which is equipped in accordance with such instructions:

Secure the cover on a solid flooring, made of tin.
We lay the litter, which can use pergamine, which is fixed by bitumen mastic. At the same time, be sure to remember about the precautionary measures: work in boots and mittens. Raise the substance on the roof of buckets, which are not completely filled. When installing the underlying material, a nailed is made, which is fixed with bell nails. Put it through the horse so that it is on the other side.
Next, the mastic is applied to the litter, and the rubberoid is placed on it. The ends of the material are similar to throw through the horse. Stelim with an overlay. Displays the strips on half of their width.
After laying the runnerdoor, thoroughly smash the surface to prevent the formation of bubbles. The canvas, which falls on the descent, should be adjusted under the crate and fasten, using tolny nails and wooden slats, which are also used when attaching extreme cauldons to the eaves.
