Of gray slate Say a Word

Ended in the winter idleness, and individual developers started a hot time. Need to decide on buying building materials, in particular, the better cover the roof. How to find a compromise between the desire and necessity, price and quality, product characteristics and environmental conditions

Building materials market is replete with articles for the device of the roof. Without a balanced and thoughtful approach is very difficult to make a choice in favor of some of the suggested items. After all, everyone has both strengths and weaknesses.




For example, products based on tissue and cardboard impregnated with bitumen, known to all roofing material, asphalt, Ondulin and other similar products, have one very serious drawback - flammability. That is unsafe in a fire plan, especially when the device stove heating and fireplaces. Another disadvantage of low strength and fragility. Because of what is required when installing a monolithic foundation or solid crate, which in turn increases the cost of construction. As a positive properties, we can note the low water permeability, good weather resistance, chemical resistance to acids and alkalis.

Bitumen tiles and shingles have the same properties as the roofing material. Do not forget that under strong heating of the sun, bitumen is not allocated healthy substances, and shingles while still being destroyed. The cost of tiles and bricks will be about 380 rubles per square meter, and the truss system and the basis for them will cost 480 rubles for the same meter. Lifetime, depending on operating conditions, range from 15 to 40 years.



Metal roofing, decking, roofing sheet neprofelirovanny, traditionally believed to be reliable, with good resistance to aggressive media and high strength materials for the device of the roof. And yet, with such good qualities, you may find that the device of the metal roof, much more money than initially thought. And it is not only a great value hardware, but also related spending. Metal roofing requires a waterproof film, increasing the cost of the roof, and skilled workers require considerable resources. Another cost item is the current content.

Often it happens that instead of many years of carefree operation within a few years, the metal begins to rust. This is due to violation of a protective coating during transportation or installation. The cost of one square meter of metal starts from 350 rubles, while the cost meter truss system from 240 rubles. The lifetime of the metal roof will last 15 - 20 years.



The latest in this list is, undeservedly forgotten slate. The main disadvantage of slate - its fragility, which requires caution during transportation and placement of the roof. His gray, usually does not cause elation. And manufacturers in the struggle for the buyer, began to produce colored slate. To his undoubted advantages include: incombustibility not flowability, Corrosion. Most of all, happy life of the cover - up to 50 years, and its relatively low cost of $ 100 per square meter. Truss system and the crate, a similar system under Ondulin and metal roofing, and construction and cost. Starting from 240 rubles per one square. Value of the work on the construction of the roof, in all cases is approximately 100% of the spent material.
