So, the foundation is laid, the walls were erected, and you approached the most responsible step – the construction of the roof of the house. A qualitatively made roof will protect you from bad weather, hold the heat in the house, and the features of the selected roof shape will maximize the useful area of the space. What you need to know, starting its construction?
The main element of the roof structure is rafters. For them, a trimming board is used, the width of which is chosen depending on the size of the roof of the house and the load attributable to it.
After installing the rafter structure, the roof is sheathed with boards or other material, for example, plywood – it depends on which roof you are going to use. And the choice of roofing material is no less responsible step. Depending on the financial capabilities, the necessary strength, aesthetic preferences and the type of construction, the type of roof is selected.

Also, budget materials include corrugated board made of galvanized steel, the reliability of such material is certainly significantly higher, in the addition of corrugated board several colors are produced. The category of cheap materials includes well -known slate (straight or wavy).
Having gleaned ancient traditions, manufacturers offer an extensive spectrum of various tiles. Classic is clay tiles, the main advantages of which are environmental friendliness, beautiful appearance, wealth of paints (when coating glaze) and high wear resistance. Her cheaper analogue has become cement-sand tiles. The so -called metal tile, covered with colored polymers, is also in demand at the moment. This type of roof will provide a neat appearance, high protection against atmospheric conditions and corrosion. Another type of “tiled coating” is bitumen tiles, this flexible tile has an excellent appearance, and due to the use of modern technologies is much stronger, more reliable and durable than ordinary roofing material.
Also, do not forget about the drainage system of the roof of your home. A high -quality drainage system organizes the correct drainage from the roof and protects the house and space near it from dampness and excessive moisture. Such a system should be reliable, withstanding water loads, and in winter – snow.
