The case is an integral element of the roofing system at home, mounted to the rafters and serves to directly fasten the sheets of metal tiles. For its manufacture, the board with dimensional dimensions at least 10 × 2.5 centimeters is perfect, the counterclaim is better to produce 5 × 5 centimeters from the bar. To secure boards and bars, use nails with a zinc coating with a length of at least 10 cm. The first board is nailed by the level of the front sink of the cornice, the second - parallel to the first at a distance of 30-35 centimeters from it. The rest are attached to the same rule. After the entire doom is mounted - do the installation of skate and windscrews.- Laying the material perpendicular to the cornice is carried out after mounting the crate. Material sheets lay on no less than 7-9 centimeters and are attached to tension.
- If you plan to lay waterproofing parallel to the eternity - it is necessary to do this after installing the heat-insulating material before installing the crate. Waterproofing is rapidly and recorded with a counterbalaxy.

To mount the laid material, use special self-tapping screws equipped with sealing gaskets. The metal tile should be allowed through the wave, one sheet of the material is recommended to fix 8 screws. During the installation of this type of roof it is very important to remember that in case of occurrence, the need to cut a sheet of metal tiles in no case cannot be used an abrasive tool. Due to excessive heating, the protective coating will be collapsed, leading to the unsuitability of the entire material. To avoid such consequences, take scissors for metal or electric saw.
