The variety of tile species allows roofing in accordance with financial capabilities and taste. Each type of tile has certain features of the installation and requirements for the preparation of the surface.
1
The tile differs in shape, sizes, color and manufactured from various materials. Each type of tiles has the recommended amount of the adhesion of the elements when mounting. When calculating the tile flow, you must take into account the useful or working width of the material. Usually a useful width is indicated in the technical documents.

The main component of the ceramic tile is a natural clay. There are two species - ordinary and affluent. Alfo has a protective coating from moisture and atmospheric impact. Natural has a higher water absorption. Interesting in that over time, various shades of red are becoming over time under the influence of moisture and sunlight. Natural tile is represented as a piece element with dimensions of 330 × 420 mm or 415 × 250 mm. It is used on roofs having a bias of 22 to 60º. Has a high cost. The high weight of natural tile - 40 kg per m² requires the strengthening of the rafter system and the device of a reliable foundation.
3
Cement-sand tile is made of cement, the filler serves as sand. According to the form and sizes are similar to ceramic. Easier and cheaper than natural tiles. Reacts to low temperatures and high humidity, therefore it has a smaller service life compared to genuine tiles.
4
Bituminous tile - Soft roofing material. It is made of fiberglass, which is impregnated with bitumen, covered with mineral crumb top. Flexible elements and small size are convenient for covering the roof of a complex configuration. It has a small weight.
5
Metal tile.convenient in the installation due to the large size of the sheets and their small weight. It is a steel sheet covered from both sides by a polymer coating. The length of the sheet varies from 0.5 to 6 m, width 1, 16-1, 19 m. More comfortable sheets for mounting a length of 4, 5 m. Weight 4-6 kg per m² depends on the thickness of the metal. Well suited for operation in Russian climatic conditions.
6
Composite tile differs from metal tile with a multilayer coating. The coating is performed from aluminum, zinc and silicon alloy. Next is applied basalt spraying. Weight - about 7 kg per m². Size 1330 × 410 mm.
7
Principle devices of roofing design Almost the same for all types of tiles. Here it is necessary to pay attention to the correct choice of insulation, a vapor insulating membrane and waterproofing materials that are suitable for this type of material. The shaft step depends on the size and weight of the tile.

Elements of ceramic tiles are small, so when preparing for work, it is important to carefully calculate the consumption of material. The size of the allen elements depends on the corner of the roof of the roof. For the waterproofing device, the rolled membrane material is recommended. The membrane membrane fabrics with an adhesive of 10 cm. To ensure the power of the rafter, the timber is mounted every 60 cm. On the crate use the timber 50x50 mm or 40x60 mm. If the inclination of the roof is less than 20º, the installation of solid flooring is required. Natural tile is attached to the crate of screws through special mounting holes.
9
For laying flexible tile, a solid solid base device is required. The base is mounted from moisture-resistant plywood or edged board. Delta elements flooring should not exceed 2 mm. Between the sheets of plywood leaves a gap of 3 mm, it will warn the deformation of the base when a moisture change. To ensure waterproofing to the base of the stelted lining carpet from rolled bitumen polymer materials. Places of contact of the flexible tile with metal plates of the roof design should be missed by bitumen mastic. In more detail with the rules for laying bituminous tiles, you can get acquainted here.

Before starting the installation, metal tiles or composite tile is performed device crate. Sheets are attached to the crate using self-tapping screws with an overlap in a width of 60 mm, in length - 100 mm. When installing, follow the rules:
do not use the grinder for cutting the material;
use screws with sealing washers;
in order not to damage the polymer sheets of sheets, lay the material in soft shoes, occur only to the wave deflection;
remove the protective film from the sheets immediately after they are edited.
Choosing a tile, consider the size of the material and geometry. Pay special attention to the manufacturer's company. The cost of the roofing device is large, work is to be time consuming. It is important to choose a quality material that will last long and will not require a replacement.
