A huge range of roofing materials for the roof of a country house often creates problems in inexperienced developers. They do not fully understand what factors navigate and what the materials affect the operational indicators of materials. The roof does not only protect the function, its value is significantly wider. Errors during the choice can create significant problems in the future.

The parameters of the rafter system have a significant impact on the choice of roof, there are several factors that must be taken into account, only so you can guarantee high-quality and durable coating at home.

Flat roofs

The angle of inclination of the slopes is not more than 12 °. Such roofs are used during the construction of large suburban cottages, can be exploited and ordinary.

Winter gardens, outdoor activities are located on exploited flat roofs.

There are options for arrangement on flat roofing car parking. To create operated flat roofs, you should buy the most durable and reliable roll coatings or mastic. Currently, it is an EuroBeroid based on polyester.

This material is characterized by the highest strength indicators, service life of at least fifty years. As a waterproofing, a modified bitumen is used, which does not lose plasticity at negative temperatures. On the roofing of polyester, it is possible to install heavy structures, make durable concrete reinforced ties, etc.

The second material for sealing flat roofs - liquid masts. In implementations there is a large selection, according to its technical specifications, mastic fully meet the existing requirements.

Scanty roofs

The number of slopes from one to 5-8, it all depends on the complexity of the rafter system and the architectural features of the structure. On the pitched roofs you can use any types of roofing materials: soft and hard, rolled and piece, profiled and flat, modern and traditional.

Each type has its own characteristics, selected with the conditions of operation, the selected designer project and the financial capabilities of the consumer. The cost of certain types of roof can be very significant, most developers cannot afford them.

General characteristics of roofing materials

Regardless of specific features and specifications, all roofing materials have general evaluation criteria.

1. Maximum total loads. They must withstand snow cover, gust winds, the weight of builders.
2. Operating parameters. These include durability, simplicity of installation and maintenance, original design solutions.
3. Cost.It should take into account not only the price of the material itself, but also of the challenges, special assemblies of the rafter system, the requirements for the crate, etc. Conditions. In addition, the complexity of the installation has a significant impact, the value of the wage of roofers depends on it.

Due to the fact that the roof is constantly exposed to numerous negative factors, it must be resistant to mechanical loads, deformations, hard effects of ultraviolet rays, large temperature differences. At the same time, a long period of time is to maintain a tightness and a presentable appearance of the roof, do not require a lot of time to maintain, be maintainable and replaceable.

Important factors - durability and maintainability of the roof

What are the most popular roofing for home

There is no unambiguous and universal advice on the choice of the type of roof, each of them has its own strengths and weaknesses, during choice there should be many factors. And not all of them are objective, caused by the operating conditions of the building. Many purely subjective, affecting the choice of foreign councils can not, the final decision takes only the consumer, taking into account their personal preferences.

Metal tile.

To date, the most used material for the roofing structures of various purposes. It is made of thin rolled steel, has several corrosion protection layers. Special equipment formulates a profile with replaceable sizes. External coating - especially durable polymer paints of different colors. Warranty 5-15 years, in practice is operated up to 30 years. May have a glossy or matte face surface, dust linger on glossy less.

Disadvantages - on complex roofing the number of waste increases to 15%. The likelihood of acquiring poor-quality coatings due to the complexity of quality control by consumers. Alone to know the thickness and uniformity of the zinc layer it is impossible, it is difficult to determine the parameters of painting. Another problem is the fire-fighting rules require lightning tracks on all metal roofs, which complicates the installation of the roof.

Bituminous (flexible) tile

Popularity ranks second after metallic coatings. It is made of a durable bituminous referenced on a polymer basis. The hydraulic protection layer - artificial bitumen modified by innovative additives, new manufacturing techniques increase the plasticity of the material even at negative temperatures, increase the mechanical strength and resistance to the solar rays.

The plasticity of the base and bitumen allows you to compensate for insignificant temperature fluctuations of the roof elements without any problems. The top layer is covered with stone crumb - the appearance is improved, the stability indicators for various damage increases, the operation time increases.

The angle of inclination of the roof should be at least 12 °, the material can be used on the roofs of complex geometry. Excellent technological characteristics minimize the number of unproductive waste (no more than 5%).

Disadvantages - susceptibility to UV rays, with time on the surface, mold and moss appear on the surface, which significantly worsens the appearance of the roof. Due to the fact that the technology of laying requires a solid crate and does not provide natural ventilation, during the construction of the rafter system, it is necessary to apply the most expensive waterproof OSP plate, which almost doubles the estimate cost of the roof.

Prices for various types and manufacturers of flexible tiles

Composite polymerpessage tile

Pretty complex, from a technological point of view, roofing material is made of sand (up to 70%), polymers (up to 25%) and dyes (up to 5%). The resistant to negative influences of external factors is capable of withstanding essential mechanical loads. Weight up to 21kg, service life up to 50 years, warranty up to 15 years.

The material is not afraid of static and dynamic loads. According to these indicators, significantly exceeds the indicators of natural ceramic tiles. It has a small thermal conductivity, which reduces the volume of condensate with temperature fluctuations. No pore increases freezing / defrost resistance, some species can withstand up to 200 cycles.

Disadvantages - high cost, installation complexity, coating moderately flammable. The main problem is unscrupulous manufacturers. Such companies use a secondary polymer, it is obtained after recycling. Secondary plastic in quality is significantly inferior to the primary, respectively, the actual performance characteristics of the polymer tile are not responded.

Cement tile

Put roofing coating is made of cement-sand mixture. Various dyes are added to improve the appearance.

Cement tile has a lot of weight, which requires special preparation of the solo system. This is the only roofing material that over time increases strength. The maximum values \u200b\u200bof physical strength cement mortar is gaining in a hundred years.

The roof is durable, keeps loading well, including drums. Withstand about 50 cycles of freezing / size, not afraid of sun rays. It is made of quartz sand and cement. Mineral dyes are added to change the color.

Disadvantages - the complexity of laying, highly qualified roofers are required.

Over time, mosses and mold appear on the surface. During the purchase, the size of the size should be carefully checked, the slightest violations of the technology or production on the morally obsolete equipment becomes the cause of deviation from geometry. Cement is afraid of acid media, in this connection, it is not categorically recommended to apply cement tiles to cover houses located in large industrial cities.

One of the most expensive and complex roofing coatings. Stuffed material, only the most experienced roofers are allowed to install. It is made of natural clay by pressing and firing. The technology is complex and expensive, requires a large number of special industrial equipment and intimacy of a career with suitable clay analyzes. The service life is 70 years, but there are many examples of old buildings with preserved roofing coatings.

Natural tile is considered an exclusive material, used in prestigious buildings or during the reconstruction of historical buildings. It can be repaired, the replacement of the failed for various reasons does not represent large difficulties.

The main drawback is the high cost. The price is overstated artificially, the production of material does not require such large financial investments. The complexity of the installation increases the cost of the rafter system by about 10-15%, the roof can be mounted only on the slopes with a large tilt angle.

Another disadvantage - even minor violations of the laying technology will definitely let them know during the operation of the building. Check the quality immediately after the end of the work is difficult, it is necessary to join the roof.

As popular as a metal tile, a profiled sheet enjoys.

Prices for various types of tiles

Tile

Specifications of profiled sheet

The technical parameters are slightly different from the metal tile, the service life is 15-20. The cost is somewhat lower than the metal tile, which makes it the cheapest modern roofing material, except bituminous and slate. But bituminous coatings are very rarely used by the pitched roofs of houses. Professional property has a different thickness and profile parameters, the color is classified according to international standards.

Profile as roofing

Disadvantages - the appearance does not meet modern requirements. This lack temporary, currently producers have learned to make very beautiful profiles with simple geometry. Another problem is a big sound system, but it is manifested only in cases where attic rooms are residential. Big noise occurs during a strong shower or hail, such precipitation in most regions of our country happens infrequently, noise does not bring big inconvenience.

It is made on the basis of cellulose canvas, as a waterproof used modified bitumen, the color varies with pigments. It has a wave slate.

Warranty 5-10 years depending on the type and manufacturer, but in practice it can serve for more than 20 years. Resistant to hail impacts, can bend and take the shape of the rafter system. Special coatings oppress development on the surface of fungi and mold, does not impair the initial performance in the temperature range from -40 ° C to + 80 ° C. Frost resistance not lower than 25 cycles, not afraid of chemical compounds. The price refers to the category of budget roofing.

Ondulin - budget roofing

Disadvantages: The color of the surface under the influence of ultraviolet rays changes, the edges are slightly wrapped. Ondulin burns, requires unconditional compliance with all fire safety regulations. Under the summary quality indicators, the last positions are occupied among all roofing materials.

Prices for various types of Ondulina

Galvanized steel sheet

Currently used rarely and only in folding roofs. It is installed on a solid crate, due to flexibility can copy the shape of the roof. At home is rarely applied, it is recommended for various canopies and economic attacks.

Disadvantages - design does not meet the requests of modern developers, a solid cutting case is required. Low indicators of flexural strength exclude the possibility of arranging natural ventilation of the undercase. To increase the service life, all wooden elements of the rafter system must be impregnated with antiseptics several times, if possible, use moisture-resistant plates.

Prices for steel galvanized sheets

Sheet steel galvanized

Ceramoplast

It is manufactured from a special modified polymer with increased parameters of physical strength and resistance to UV rays. Natural fillers are introduced into the composition to reduce the cost, color depends on the coloring additives. Relatively new roofing material, in appearance resembles a wavy slate. It has a variety of color gamut, the service life of 30 years.

Does not absorb moisture, respectively, is not afraid of freezing / size. Plasticity allows you to extinguish shock loads, the roof can be used in various climatic zones, except for the extreme north. Easily cuts, during the installation there is no need to use special fixtures and tools. Installation technology resembles an ordinary slate stacking.

Disadvantages - high cost does not correspond to the same high performance characteristics. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, plastic gradually loses its initial properties, becomes fragile and with minor loads cracks. It makes no sense to repair the roof, physical aging occurs on the entire roof area. The only exit is the complete replacement of the roof, which is expensive and long.

Asbesto-cement wave slate

Traditional roofing material made of cement and asbestos fillers. It can have a different amount of waves, currently applied only on non-strategic buildings. In our country, slate is manufactured from a safe asbestos, which is not listed in the list of carcinogens. Sheets may have a natural color or painted in various shades. Despite the large variety of modern roofing materials, traditional slate and today sales occupies high positions. Warranty period of at least 30 years, in practice more than fifty are operated.

The shortcomings are somewhat - high weight and low mechanical strength indicators. Great weight complicates the styling process and requires special measures to enhance the rafter system. Slate is easily cracks with minor changes in the roof linearity, the coating has to be repaired. If a strong hail fell in the region, then the roof will have to be completely changed.

Slanets

The roof of the natural natural stone serves as an decoration of any prestigious building. It is characterized by excellent indicators of the duration of operation, resistant to the effects of chemical compounds, including aggressive. Not exposed to the negative impact of urban smog.

Disadvantages - high weight, high cost, low characteristics of physical strength. Exclusive coverage is very rare. It is recommended to produce under the order, taking into account the architectural features of the roof. Such an approach allows to reduce the amount of unproductive waste and has a positive effect on the cost of roofing work.

Roofing from aluminum

It is used as a sheet roof or material for the manufacture of flat tiles. The service life is almost unlimited. Coatings easily take the necessary forms, does not require additional processing of the front surface. It is filling only for a solid crate. Aluminum can be used for the manufacture of various profiles, there are options for coating roof with smooth sheets.

Copper roof

Very beautiful, very expensive and very durable material. Over time, covered with a patina - protective anti-corrosion film. The life of at least 100 years is not afraid of negative temperatures and heating.

The main drawback is the high cost. Can be made of 100% copper or alloys with tin and aluminum. Luxury material applies only to the most expensive homes, historical or cultural buildings.

Disadvantages - it is necessary to completely exclude contact with the hardware, with such contacts, corrosion processes are accelerated by several orders. Another disadvantage - the color of the patina changes with time, areas with different shades can appear. It does not like all users.

Straw roofing

The traditional roof of the last century of poor village houses today returns to fashion among the most modern developers. Used by lovers of natural eco-friendly houses, the roof gives the structure a unique view. The works are attracted to the roofers of higher qualifications, when performing all the rules, the coating can serve up to fifty years. The roof does not require additional heat insulation, perfectly extinguished the noise. Due to the special laying technology, fire safety features are significantly increased.

Video - characteristics of different types of roof

The roof of the house is one of the key elements of its reliability, strength, thermoregulation and presentable appearance. There are a variety of roofs of private houses that differ in configuration, type of roofing materials involved, the complexity of the construction. The roof is an important supporting structure of a house intended for its protection against atmospheric precipitation and external influences, so it must be durable, sustainable and durable. Yes, and aesthetic qualities play an important role, because a well-chosen configuration and design of the roof will definite the tone to the entire building, becoming its business card.

Forms and types of roofs of private houses

At the design stage, it is necessary to choose the correct construction of the roof, based on the form of the house and its purpose. The roofs are divided into species that differ in the number of hips and rods. The main types of roofs that are in modern construction:

Single car - Easy design and comparative cheap execution makes this kind of roof popular. Used for household buildings, warehouses and garages. Rarely - for a private house.

Double - Classic roof option that consists of two parts. Makes it possible to equip the attic.

Flat - It is used mainly in the climatic belt, where a small amount of precipitation is envisaged. Otherwise, water will accumulate on the surface of the roof and flow into the house.

Walm roof - It is also called four-page. Differs complex design and high performance characteristics.

Polvalmovaya, Danish roof can be a duplex (attic) or four-page.

Tent - A variety of hip roofs for private houses, the design resembles a tent. It has simplicity of installation and high functionality.

Multi-type - consists of forceps, sets of funds, frontones and blocks. Provides a natural stack of rain and melt water.

Dome or cone The roof is mainly used on round and multifaceted buildings.

Roofs of a complex combination - Installed in private houses for two floors having an extension and economic premises. Installation of such a roof for only experienced specialists.

The choice in favor of the roof of a flat shape occurs very rarely, because it accumulates snow too quickly, it delays the stack of water, it is easily deformed if the load has been hardened incorrectly. This variant of the roof is preferred in a hot climate, where precipitation is a rare phenomenon. It is also used to overlap multi-storey houses and industrial buildings.

Flat roof is popular with houses in the style of high-tech

Of the advantages of a flat roof can be noted:

Its smaller area compared to the scope, therefore the roofing material is less on it.

Conduct installation and service on a flat roof possible without problems.

Flat roof allows you to get an additional useful area that can be used, like a terrace, a place for sports, arrange a winter garden, build a gazebo with a fireplace.

Installation of such a design passes quickly, as well as repair.

Under the conditions of a soft climate, you can make a flat roof under the garden

Single roofs

The roof of the single-sided form has a flat surface that is tilted in one direction. Very often it is satisfied with the bottled walls. When installing, this is very important to choose correctly the magnitude of the inclination so that the part of the structure is located towards the winds.

The easiest version of the pitched roof

Pluses of a single roof:

A small cost compared to the attic or dome;

The possibility of subsequent completion of the floors without a grand dismantling;

Easy installation of chimneys and stacks;

A wide choice of materials for the roof;

High coefficient of use of the area;

The ability to mount a balcony and huge windows from the ceiling to the floor.

Also very popular for houses in modern style

Special deficiencies in a single-table roofing does not happen if not counting it

Not very presentable view.

However, if we competently design the design, combine several slopes at different levels, then it turns out a completely attractive roof. It is also important to choose the correct selection of material - if you choose, for example, metal tile, then it turns out a beautiful geometry of the skate, but the professionalist will turn the house in the barn.

Duscal roofs

The row roof design is most often used for a private house in our climatic belt. Located at an angle design does not allow to accumulate water and snow. The angle of the pitched roof is determined, based on the level of precipitation in the current region - the more precipitation, the greater the angle of the pitched roof.

Pluses of a bone roof:

Practicality and opportunity to equip the attic;

No need to clean snow and water manually;

Ease of installation;

Wide design opportunities;

Most roofing materials are focused on a batch roof;

Good maintainability;

Small cost and speed of construction.

By minuses of the duplex roof in a private house include:

A large number of roofing materials that will be needed for its construction.

If the attitudes are planned, then it is necessary to take care of increasing the number of windows that complicates the design of the bartal roof.

Walm roof

The roof of the hip consists of four planes, which are arranged at an angle. Such a roof is considered one of the varieties of a four-piece roof.

Advantages of a hospital roof:

Not subject to deformation in places of cornice canopies;

Original appearance;

Can resist strong winds;

Ability to equip a attic or a attic;

Well protects the facade from precipitation, thanks to the installation of additional soles.

Photo of the house with a holm roof

The disadvantage of the hip roof is considered:

The complexity of its installation, the complexity of laying roofing materials;

Due to the skates, the area of \u200b\u200bthe attic room is reduced.

Semi-Walled Roof

The semi-walled roofs are also called Dutch. We have such structures are not as often as in Europe.

3d sketch of a half-raid roof

Pluses of half-raid roofs:

Resistance to wind and even hurricane due to the streamlined form;

Reliably protects walls and frontones at home from snow and rain;

Ability to equip under the roof of a residential or attic room;

Original and unusual design.

By cons of the roof of such a form include:

Difficulty of its installation, a large number of ribs and funds;

A large number of sawn timber;

Complex roofing finish - builders have to set many stops and subposses.

Tent roofs

The roof in the shape of a tent is one of the varieties of rolled types of roofs. It consists of four equal triangular shapes.

Stock Foto Houses with tent roof

Such an option of the roof wins in front of the bartal roof, thanks to a higher level of functionality and decorative attractiveness. The mass of the tent roof is less than that of a nippy or attic, so the load on the buildings is becoming less. The structure of the tent roof is durable, thanks to the ribs that provide support. By cons of such a type of roof, the complexity and high cost of installation can be attributed.

Multi-type

Multi-line roofs for private houses are a rather complex design, as they consist of a variety of rods, ribs, forceps, funds. Installation of such a roof is carried out only by masters with extensive experience in this area.

Multi-line variant

Pluses of multiple roof:

Attractive appearance;

Durability and strength of the structure;

Practicality;

Ability to equip under the roof additional room.

Each of which can have its own design type, protection method and original design. Before deciding on the type of roof for their home, it is necessary to deal with constructive characteristics.

The main criteria for choosing are:

• type of material;
• type and form of construction;
• the bias of the roof.

Only subject to the competent choice of these components it is possible to create a durable, durable and reliable coating that can withstand any weather conditions. Having preferred one or another type of roof, you need to navigate the climate in this area. So, the roof with a gentle bias in the area of \u200b\u200bactive precipitation in the winter is not the best option. Otherwise, constant snow accumulation subsequently will only destroy the design.

Classifice roofs in the number and shape of the skates. There are single-table, duplex and four-tight roofs. Under the skate implies the bias of the roof itself more than 10 °. There are also complex structures with combined skates. Examples are tent and multi-track roofs. Less frequent in the construction of a private house can be found conical and dome types of roof. Often in structures use several forms, such a type of roof is combined.

In detail, we will analyze each of the listed varieties of roofs of private houses, taking into account the placement in certain climatic conditions.

Single roof is the most simple design that does not require significant labor and cash costs.

The bartal roof is the same inexpensive design that is often used for homes of a wide variety of forms. Great for snow locations.

The attic roof is a type of a two-tie roof, which is distinguished by a broken profile, that is, when each slope has two levels - gentle and falling.

The hollow roof is designed to large winds, it is an excellent option for houses with bulk areas.

Walm roof with a slope of a arcuate form. It is quite difficult to make such a design, but it looks very attracts attention to yourself.

Tent roof - one of the types of Walmova. Perfect option for square houses. This type of roof is folded from the four identical triangles connected by the top like a tent.

Multi-line roof is a complex design, suitable for rectangular and square houses.

A vaulted roof - in the form of an arch, is often used to addition to the main roof.

Bubnoy roof - has the form of four rhombuses reduced to the center, suitable for buildings with a base in the form of a square.

In modern times, the surface of the roofs are increasingly used to create a magnificent landscape design.

If we talk about the practical side, the mounting of solar panels on the roofs of private houses as an alternative energy source is an excellent way to power saving.

Choose a bias for the roof

In the form of the slope of the surface of the roof is divided into flat and scanty. Under the slope implies an angle of inclination of the roof in relation to the horizon. As a rule, measured in degrees.

The arrangement of the roof slope is due to the need to remove different precipitation from its coating. If there is no inclination, the roof flow is inevitable. Yes, and the appearance of such coatings is more suitable for the buildings of economic purposes.

Choosing the degree of liplon, you need to keep in mind that the greatest load from the snow precipitation on the roof is achieved when the angle of inclination is 30 degrees. The self-cleaning of the roof (the snow itself rolls down) occurs at 45 degrees of tilt.

In addition to precipitation, strong gusts of the wind also affect the surface of the roof. An increase in the corner on a clone up to 30% contributes to an increase in wind load 5 times. But the small bias is also unacceptable, since the wind in that case, penetrating the coating joints, can disrupt the design. Therefore, it will be reasonable to choose a downhill and roof shape to entrust experienced professionals who will take into account all the nuances.

Obviously, the pitched roofs compared to flat as an order of magnitude more expensive. But still durability, strength and reliability is much more important than the initial costs. Therefore, the scope roof remains the most popular among private houses. As mentioned earlier, the slope of this type of roof is due to snow and wind load. But besides this, an aesthetic appearance has an anxiety.

Selection of building materials

The choice of roofing materials directly depends on the angle of inclination of the slopes.

Slate (asbestos cement sheet of a wavy form) - used when the roof is biased from 13-60 degrees.

Ceramic tile - this type of coating involves the bias of the roof from 30-60 degrees. With a bias of less than 30 degrees, the mounting of the ceramic tile is allowed, but in this case it is necessary to additionally organize waterproofing and ventilation of the roof.

Metal tile is the most popular material in the construction of private houses. The main advantage of this roof is that the highest angle of the slope is not normalized, but the minimum is 15 degrees.

Profile - As the main material for the roofs, it is quite rare, more often - for garages and household buildings. The laying is made when the roof is tilted, ranging from 10 degrees. The maximum angle is not normalized.

Bituminous tile is an excellent option for roofs with arcuate original forms. The angle of inclination should not be less than 12 degrees.

Bituminous slate - this kind of roof is quite rare and with a slope of at least 5 degrees. The maximum limit is not normalized, but you need to take into account the angle of the slope in order to calculate the crate. As a rule, the borders in the borders of 5-10 degrees provides for the arrangement of solid flooring.

Folding steel roof - used with an angular slope from 20 degrees.

The special group of roofing materials includes sheet glass and double glazing sheet. Most of them make only part of the roof. More often is a visor from the veranda, sometimes living room or kitchen. Undoubtedly, such a design is incredibly beautiful. What is only worth the aesthetic view of the ceiling indoors! But in order to afford a similar architectural composition, it will be necessary to allocate a considerable budget. Glass reliably withstand snowfall and wind. As a rule, it is attached to a metal profile.

Choosing a roof coating, always consider the features of climatic conditions in your area and remember - the denser the roof design, the less the angle of the slope of the skate. Only so you will ensure the durability and strength of the structure.

Aesthetic design

The color palette of materials for the roof in the collections of modern producers is very wide. With the help of color, you can select the roof with a bright contrast, thus highlighting it on a general environment of the environment, or vice versa, create a harmonious sample ensemble when the roof color will virtually merge with the other exterior elements.

All listed roofing options play not only a significant functional role in the buildings of private houses, but also can serve as an excellent aesthetic addition of impeccable exterior.

Fashion Today dictates Rules in all areas - clothes, shoes, interior design and exteriors, garden design. She did not bypassed roofs. Most recently, decorative turrets were popular, and now, multi-level complex structures, under which children's rooms or dressing rooms are arranged, simulators, home theaters, billiards and so on. But fashion is a lady capricious and changeable. And if it is entirely to rely on it, you will have to update the roof of the house every 2-3 years, which is not for everyone by pocket. It is better to listen to your taste, taking the basis of separate stylish fragments. And in order not to drown in the ocean of diversity, it is worth familiar with the finished projects of beautiful roofs of private houses.

Roofs for private houses: what to choose

The appearance of modern roofs - the flight of designer fantasy and one of the motivators, and not the most important, defining roof design for a particular building. The main thing is the engineering development under a certain form - tasks that one or other roof configuration should be done as best as possible.

An unusual attic roof with asymmetric lines will emphasize the exquisite taste of the owner of the house and will allow you to get an additional room under the roof.

For example, a flat operated and broken roof roof have different goals. The first is suitable for creating a greenhouse on the roof, the second is to have an extra living area.

On a flat roof of a private house you can arrange a beautiful green area

But the main functions for all roofs are the same:

• protection of the building from rain, snow and winds;
• good resistance to mechanical stress and ultraviolet;
• effective self-cleaning;
• environmental friendliness;
• simplicity in arrangement and repair;
• accommodality in the construction and operation, as well as durability.

Therefore, choose the form of a roof follows from your needs: what is desirable to get in the end.In addition, you need to take into account the carrier load that the roof will have on the walls and the foundation of the house. Multi-type complex roofing, and even-coated with natural tiles, it does not suit the light frame building, no matter how it would not want.

Construct multi-line roof lovers of original design for beauty and opportunities to equip several small side attic at once

Conversely, a simple bartal roof, covered by an ordinary slate, will not look at the intricate the facade of a large building.

Even the location of the house plays a considerable role when choosing a roof. If the structure is at the very beginning of the site, then do fashionable, almost to the earth itself, the skates do not make sense. For such a form, you need a space, and in the cramping conditions it will not play as it should be.

The bartal roof is simple and reliable, but there are several complex hybrid forms, for example, a semi-walled construction - when the end skates do not reach the cornice, and the side are low from the ground

Why then spend money when you can choose something easier and significantly saved on construction. By the way, classic duct roofs have not come out of fashion over the centuries. And this means much.

Beautiful roof design: options

Roofs of houses differ in design and by type of observer material.

Flat roofs

In private house-building, flat roofs are quite rare. The main reason is a large snow load compared to the scope, which falls on a flat shape, and low self-cleaning. It is believed that when the bias is 0-1 °, the water will be constantly stagnant and it will sooner or later lead to damage roofing. That is, a flat roof need a much greater care.

Flat roofing favorably combines with a common design and complemented by various small geometric details

In addition, such a project cannot be called. The rafter system, monolithic floors, insulating materials, the arrangement of flue and ventilation channels, drainage and drainage - everything should be durable and high-quality.

Minimalism and clear geometric lines produce stability and monolithic effect

Therefore, a flat roof is usually done when it is planned to use it - under the terrace, greenhouse, sauna or pool, etc. Here they are indispensable. If not, it is better to refuse from a flat roof.

In a modern individual residential building in the suburbs on a flat operated roof there are green plantings

A private house with a flat roof is unusual and interesting: an extraordinary roof creates a unique style and completes the overall image of the building.

Scope roofs

The construction of the pitched roofs costs the owners of private houses more expensive: there is more roofing, you need a more powerful supporting structure. However, they are more reliable, do not require frequent care and in form are very diverse:

• single one;
• duplex (straight, broken roofs or attic);
• four-tight (tent, hip);
• spherical;
• multi-line;
• cone-shaped;
• combined, etc.

Design of houses with a single roof

Such roofs are also called monoscota. They have one slope based on the bearing walls of different height, due to which very interesting projects are obtained.

The arrangement of a single-table roof is inexpensive, since the entire installation is the support of the canvas to the outer walls of the building of different height

If earlier, a monosicate roof is a terrace, a household, cellar, today is one of the currents of minimalism, which gives the structure a futuristic look.

The roof is beautifully streaming the building, performing several important functions at once: it creates an unusual design form of the whole house and delicately hides the second floor

Modern monoscate roofs are a whole complex of nodes and compounds capable of withstanding climatic disasters and protect the building. Therefore, more and more often you can see one-piece roofs in private home ownership.

Building attracts attention and fascinates the gaze of beautiful design and skillfully selected facing colors

In addition to stylish air design, single-sided roofs are light and not costly in the mounted. To mount such a roof will be able to anyone who has at least small knowledge in construction, even if he had never been engaged before. The main thing is to comply with the technology and the specifics of their device.

Both edges of the rafter feet have a reliable support and refer to the discharge of the revolving

The definition of a single-carbon roof reflects the essence of its device - one scope plane is formed by a rafter system.

Monoscate roofs, thanks to their configuration, are diverse, for example, roofs-canopies that are so loved by residents of Australia, known for their commitment to all fashionable manifestations.

Today, residents of Australia, known for their courage in the plan of fashionable legislation, confidently ask a new tendency to use roofs-canopies in construction

Single roofs can be attic and unbandinous, hemispherical, as well as sheds - saws, which are rare, however, you can see the walked private house. And completely in vain. Thanks to their design, with a skillful approach, you can achieve all the benefits of passive solar heating and good natural lighting.

The architect Howard Alan received a good result, which converted the roof of an ordinary Chicago house. The new roof has become a shadovaya (saw-shaped). Tests at the end of construction showed that at an outdoor air temperature -18.3 ° C on a winter sunny day the inner temperature was about +21.1 ° C.

With the conversion of the roof in the shadow, the height of the attic room has increased and their natural ventilation has simplified

Duscal roofs are the most popular types of roofs for a number of reasons:

According to the functionality, the duplex roofs are not inferior to a single one, the same simple and reliable. They consist of two slopes, which are based on, as in a monoscaption roof, on the bearing walls (or the feather-beam reference system), but the same height. The ridge skate ridge are connected. The gap between them is called a fronton or tongs.

Large windows and roofing with window holes create good lighting and interesting look against the rest of the buildings

The skates themselves until recently were traditionally the same length. But fashion makes its own adjustments and now they are often made different in size, which gives the house a kind of appearance.

The duct roof serves as roofs for the house, smoothly passing into a summer canopy for parking or a town, where you can relax and hide from the sun

Moreover, the long-rods do not mount the drainage system, since water and lowering snow quickly come from such roofs. On the one hand, it should be cheapening construction and guarantees a long service life to roofing. But on the other hand, under such a roof, a good drainage system is needed throughout the perimeter of the house, so that the foundation is not hidden.

Varieties of duplex roofs

The duct roofs are unlimited by supporting design and strengthened material, so there is a designer fantasy where to turn around.

The roof of the Dormer adds an auditory window to the attic, which serves to illuminate and ventilating the attic room, and also improves the appearance of the private house

There were so-called hybrid forms - more difficult in design, but, of course, much more spectacular. For example, semi-walled structures with end slopes that do not reach cornice.

The half-walled roof is more difficult in arrangement than the usual duplex, but it looks much original

The Danish shape of the duct roof and the Dutch, the difference between which consists in the method of cutting the hip - Danish offers small tongs, and the Dutch is the usual frontouts in the form of a trapezium.

The difference between the Danish and Dutch construction lies in the method of circumcision of the hip - from above or below

Such structures have their strengths and weaknesses. First include:

• large rigidity of the frame at the expense of corner ribers;
• the ability to withstand considerable snow loads;
• good protection of the frontones of the house from the weather and the ability to establish the usual window in the indulgent (attic) room.

Cons of semi-walled roofs:

• the complexity of the design provides for the accurate calculation of the soling system;
• a greater consumption of sawn timber and roofing sheets.

Dersighted roofs are also a type of duplex. It would seem that in our time such roofing with broken lines will not surprise anyone. However, new-fashioned elements make modern attic roofs not only respectable, good, but also amazingly attractive and functional. For many, such a roof is a blue dream, despite the cost of its arrangement.

Rich home decoration profitably emphasizes an unusual roof

The courage of architects amazing imagination. So that the house retains its individuality, select unusual forms and materials that will serve for years.

The roof flows smoothly into the walls, creating a one-piece and completed image of the entire structure.

Before mounting the attic roof, it is necessary to check the status of the foundation and bearing walls - whether they can withstand an additional load.

Beautiful roofs of wooden houses

Frame or wooden houses, unlike stone, brick, etc. The buildings are more easily and do not need a powerful foundation. This must be considered when choosing a roof. In principle, it concerns the underfloor material, since the shape of the roof can be given any. Strengthen the bearing walls before this, strengthen the foundation, set the decorative beams of the backups near the house, to which the load from the roof will be transmitted, etc. options for the sea, but the observer material is still better to select light, do not overload the supporting structures at home with natural tiles for example.

Basically for wooden buildings use:

• ordinary duplex roofs;

  Wooden walls emphasize the quality of the house

• sALTBOX roofs - asymmetrical duplex roofs - allow you to expand the house, having lowered a long scat on the completed elements;

  The asymmetric duple roof of the frame house allows you to shift the load through a long scat on the drawable elements of the house

• the roasting roof roofs are a brutal trendy direction designed just for wooden houses - a combination of simplicity and coarse natural materials.

  Roofing of roofing iron has an interesting form: the usual duplex, it unobtrusively changes the angle of the skates, as if the structure merges with the surrounding landscape

Beautiful roofs of complex designs

Recently, the roof of complex forms have become very popular among private homeowners. This is due to the original type, which such roofs give buildings, as well as the opportunity to rationally use the subcoase space. This group includes:

• walp roofs;

  Under the roof, an additional floor suffered unnoticed, while the building seems compact and coherent

• multi-line;

  Strong and reliable multi-line roofing perfectly combined with wooden beams and chimney

• combined from different species;

  The noble gray color of the combined roof is profitably echoes with a dairy shade of walls and the decorative elements of the courtyard

• vaulted roofs that are often equipped on additional buildings;
• bubnoy, tents and conical;
• the roofs of the M-shaped form are rarely used, only in special design solutions, when you need to combine 2 buildings under one roof;

  Two houses standing closely visually have individual roofs, but in fact the common ending, the load on which is very high

• butterfly roofs - look very tempting, but are complex in design.

  The roof of the butterfly looks very beautiful and unusual, but impractical at the price, absence of an attic room, the complexity of the design

Of course, this is an incomplete list of sensing roofs for a private house. In the world of building fashion, you can see the stunning patterns of engineering and designer thought.

In addition to the functional and aesthetic side, it would be nice to consider a practical aspect - the ability to use the surface of the roof for energy saving. Is it possible to install solar panels without prejudice to appearance - this question is by no means idle. Energy prices are growing with enviable constant, so a simple installation of alternative energy sources on the roof of your own home will be quite by the way.

Have your own energy sources are always useful, especially with a constant rise in price of energy resources.

What roofing material is more attractive

The choice of roofing is most often dependent on the angle of inclination of the roof. That is why you first need to choose the optimal version of the roof scenery. It is believed that the greatest snow load on the roof accounts for the shades of the slopes of 30 °. Therefore, that the roof is well self-cleaning, the angle of inclination needs to be made at least 45 °.

However, it is not necessary to arbitrarily increase the angle of inclination on the principle "the more, the better." Not better. Especially in the regions with an abundance of gusty winds.

With increasing slope inclination at 20-30%, the wind load on such a roof immediately increases 5 times.

But also reduce the slope no exit - the wind can undermine the roof of literally from the inside, having frightened through the unprotected shelves of the overlaps. So choose the form of a roof, considering the climatic conditions of a specific region, having previously calculated the angle of inclination by the formula: the length of the skate ridge is divided by ½ width of the house and multiply on 100. The result and will be the resulting angle of inclination.

Wind loads depend on slope

The greater the angle of inclination, the higher the expenses for the construction of the roof. It also needs to be taken into account when choosing a roof.

So, roofing is what better:

1. Slate - inexpensive roofing material. It is used with subtildity of 13-60 °. With a smaller slope in the joints of the joints, water will be seamless, leading to the disrepair of the already durable coating.

   A private house with a slate roof looks very stylish, however, the slate coating is highly dependent on the slope

2. Ceramic tile is a beautiful and noble underfloor flooring, which is placed when cutting the skates at 30-60 °. If the angle is less, then there are additional ventilation and waterproofing of the roof.

   Thousands of years Ceramic tile remains one of the most beautiful materials for the roof

3. Metal tile is the most perhaps the optimal coating option. It is suitable for almost any form of roof and also does not have the maximum value of the subtleness, and the minimum is only 15 °. Therefore, this roofing material is so popular.

   Metal tile - Material for those who choose stylish solutions for reasonable money

4. Bituminous tile - it looks beautifully on unusual roofs with arc-shaped elements and an angle of inclination less than 12 °. The maximum subtleness value is not limited.

   Bituminous tile is suitable for roofs of an unusual shape

In a separate group, it is worth highlighting transparent roofs - externally incredibly beautiful, but also the cost of arrangement will require a lot.

The transparent roof, transmitting light and air, will become a business card at home, give him fragility, refinement and uniqueness
