Flat roofs are used both in multi-storey and low-rise urban buildings. They allow you to save on lumber, since when they arrange, a cumbersome rafter system is not required, and the installation of the insulation and the roofing coating is carried out on the slab overlapping the upper floor. For drainage on a flat roof, a bias is created, according to which excess moisture flows into the pipes of the inner drainage system. In rustic construction, flat roofs are also used and the construction is mounted on some of them. We will tell you about the features of the planning of such houses, consider some options for their arrangement and operation.

Features of planning houses with a flat roof

For the climate of the middle strip of the house with flat roof are not the most popular choice, but at the same time unusual design Fits fans, and the ability to equip on the roof the recreation area makes attractive projects of this kind. Buildings with flat operated roofs have their advantages and disadvantages and are used in areas with a temperate snow formation and a relatively mild climate. To advantages should be attributed:

• original appearance;
• lack of complex and cumbersome rafter systemsusceptible to wind exposure;
• the possibility of using a flat roof as an exploited space;
• the absence of an external drainage system on the facades of the building, since instead of it is an internal drainage system.

Flat roofs have some drawbacks, namely:

• increased overlap strength requirements, which should withstand snow;
• the need to create a slope towards drainage pipes, which means there will be an increase in the mass of roofing pie;
• high requirements for the quality of multilayer waterproofing;
• frequent prophylactic and overhaul.

Design and arrangement of flat roofs are conducted on the basis of the standard from 002-02495342-2005 "Roofs of buildings and structures. Design and construction. " In this document, the principles of the design of roofing pie and the construction of flat roofs are presented. When creating a project, it is necessary to take into account not only the presence of ventilation channels, but also water pipes through which moisture with a flat roof is removed.

The flat roof allows you to create a cozy residential space with the same or different height of the ceilings for a comfortable stay.

In Standard from 002-02495342-2005, attention is paid to exploited and inversion roofs with earthy and herbal coatings, as well as methods of waterproofing and additional testing for the strength of the roofs of a flat type on SNiP 2.01.07. The added ground layer with waterproofing, paths from paving slabs and the presence of fencing require the strengthening of the design of the overlap, as well as the construction of a staircase to exit the roof. On flat roofing it is necessary to make a bias from 2 to 5 degrees towards the drain pipe to ensure the outflow of excess moisture.

The operated roof involves the multilayer roofing structure and the specific design of the ferrite of the drainage system

The plane roof overlapping is manufactured in one of the following ways:

1. Using standard reinforced concrete slabs.

   Flat roof overlapping standard reinforced concrete slabs It is made with seams and mounting the reinforced belt

2. Complete concreting of armooyeas and reinforced overlap with a support for internal partitions and outer walls building.

   Solid concreting flat roof is made with support for bearing external wall walls

3. Reinforced concrete overlap using professional flooring and support for carrier steel beams.

   Beams to create a flat roof overlap are attached to bearing walls, and professional flooring and fittings are stacked on them, then concrete is poured

A durable overlap allows telecommunications equipment, ventilation and air conditioning systems on a flat roof, as well as equip the exploited space. The planning of the house with a flat roof is influenced by the internal placement of the drainage system, chimneys heating system, staircases, as well as the location of the garage. The stairs for the roof lifting can also be mounted on the outside of the building, which significantly increases the living space.

Examples of projects of houses with a flat roof

Houses with a flat roof in panel urban construction are used for many years. With the advent of new waterproofing materials, high strength is not difficult to equip such construction on the building of any floor built from different materials. In rustic construction, it is rather difficult to break the stereotype of the fear of snow load on a flat roof. It should be noted that the reinforced concrete overlap over the strength exceeds any of the pitched roofs, which is made of lumber.

Flat roofs are successfully used both in the multi-storey and low-rise buildings.

Buildings of this type have a complete appearance and a concise design. Consider examples of flat roofs on houses of different floors built in different styles and from various materials.

One-storey houses

One-storey buildings are designed to stay a small family and seemingly small sizes do not interfere with plane-roof space necessary for a comfortable existence.

One-storey house with a flat roof is suitable for a small family

On the roof the mine of the ventilation system and chimney, and excessive moisture is removed through the drain pipe on the facade, which does not spoil general form at home. The owner of such housing should keep in mind that over time, the living area may have to expand, so for this, certain areas should be reserved.

The design of the house with a flat roof allows you to expand the living space due to the extension of the garage and the terrace

Two-storey houses

For two-storey house The layout at which the garage, hall, living room are located on the ground floor kitchen space with dining room. On the second floor there is a study, a seating area with a large open loggia or terrace. The presence of cars in the family implies equipment of access roads.

A two-storey house with a flat roof allows you to place all the necessary spaces.

In the houses of this type, the ventilation channels, chimneys and the drainage system are combined into one block and are located inside the building, and the garage room is equipped with a separate ventilation. Accommodation is intended for year-round accommodation and has all the advantages of their own country structure.

With light color, concrete construction in two floors can be made by weightless

Houses with an exploited roof

The operated roof involves the use of a stronger overlap of the upper floor, multilayer waterproofing and strong fencing. On such roofs there are seating areas with solarium, lawn and other vegetation. In addition, technical blocks with air conditioning systems, ventilation and telecommunication equipment are placed in the operated part of the roof.

The operated roof requires reinforced overlap and multilayer waterproofing to effectively remove excess moisture.

At some part of the area stacked paving tile, Furniture and light canopies are installed, so the total weight of the roof exploited should be taken into account when building overlapping. When complying with the installation and use of high-quality materials, such a roof can serve for many years in the medium strip climate.

Frame houses with a flat roof

Fast-free frame houses Must have a durable overlap of the upper floor, which is carefully sealed, since the parts of the frame in the event of moisture penetration may be susceptible to rotting.

Frame house It has a high construction rate and low material costs, but requires carefulness to the strength and waterproofing of the overlap

When arranging a flat roof in the homes of this type, it is necessary to carefully consider the coordination of snow load with the strength of the building and the reliability of overlapping the second floor.

The design of a frame building with a large inhabited space and a solid appearance perfectly fits into the surrounding landscape.

High-tech houses

Stylish, bright, flying facilities, glittering with glass and nickel-plated metal, strict concrete structures and wide stairs leave an unforgettable impression of houses in the style of Hi-tech. The building seems to be hanging without any support, has big windows, high ceilings and extensive interior space.

Houses built in high-tech style, distinguishes the abundance of light, glass, metal and concrete

The house built in such a style is expensive and very labor-intensives in production, since it is a monolithic concrete structure.

Sip panels at home

The heat insulating sip panels are easily and quickly mounted with any weather with vertical racks and have significant strength. Built from panels House needs durable overlap with good waterproofing.

Houses with flat roofs of modern sip-panels are quickly built and have good thermal insulation

From sip-panels you can quickly build reliable buildings of various configurations.

A two-storey house from sip-panels is quickly mounted on any architectural project for a lightweight foundation.

Wooden houses

The house built from the bircaw or timber is durable, warm and environmentally friendly. Wooden houses can be tested under a flat roof with the condition for the anti-view and antiseptic impregnation of the designs of the last crown and overlapping the top floor.

The drainage with a flat roof is made by pipes located both inside and outside the building.

Wooden house with a flat roof is very organically pushed into the surrounding space.

Houses from foam blocks

Budget version of the house of foam blocks with monolithic reinforced concrete frame. The reinforced concrete belt is placed on the top of the walls of the second floor, and the overlap of a flat roof is placed on it and on the inner bearing walls.

Warm I. economy houses Foam blocks are often completed with a flat roof, which is a logical continuation of the architectural style.

Watering, ventricular and chimneys are mounted inside the building and are not displayed on the facade. The strength of such a house allows you to equip the operated flat roof.

Concrete foundation and overlap with walls of the house can be built of warm foam concrete with a natural stone trim

Modular houses

These houses are collected from the standard set of ready-made modules located in the desired order. Such buildings are equipped with flat roofs and have good thermal protection properties.

Modular house - a building that is collected from standard block modules and is connected to a single integer depending on the functional purpose

Modules are created on the basis of the finished functional elements and are made in a single building with a suitable stylized finish.

The module is a self-sufficient unit with a certain purpose and a residential space is collected from such modules.

Houses from reinforced concrete panels with flat roofs

This type of houses includes all urban development and some types of low-rise country buildings. The high degree of standardization allows you to build at home using a set of panels and slabs of overlapping, as well as build flat roofs through specialized blocks.

Panel houses have high strength and belong to the quick-scale structures of the standard type

Reinforced concrete products possess not only durability, but also high heat insulating characteristics.

Not so popular like scanty.

Most often their rarity is associated with climate features in middle lane: accumulation of snow on the roof, the formation of puddle during rains.

But the ease of construction of such structures and ensuring the decorativeness of the building can serve as a good help when deciding on the choice of the roof design.

And on such a roof, you can equip additional areas that are especially in summer time will be good place For recreation and pastime.

Like any constructive solution of building elements, straight structures may have positive parties and disadvantages. In the presence of the roof features, it is important to identify those directions that will affect the solution of the design of such a roof.

Advantages flat roof are:

• Primary such roof perfectly performs building protection functions from external influences;
• not required great effort and costs (material, physical) for its construction;
• long service. The flat system does not require expensive maintenance with the right installation of all major and additional elements of the roof;
• the ability to install additional amenities on the roof, up to the pool and garden sites and saunas;
• good thermal insulation indicators.

To negative factors of home improvement with flat roofs include:

• Accumulation of snow or rain puddes on the coating;
• there is a risk of freezing or forming a blocking of the inner drainage;
• mechanical cleaning of the external layer required from snow and leaves;
• the inability to use leaf or piece species;
• there is no possibility to check the condition of roofing pie (in particular the insulation)However, drainage systems and ventilation moves are much easier to check.

The lack of an attic floor in the presence of a flat roof design may be worth or disadvantage depending on preferences.

Types of flat roofing

Despite the fact that the design of a flat roof is quite simple and does not require special skills for its design, these roofs have varieties. Classify them depending on additional purpose and technical features.

The varieties of flat systems include:

• Exploited. The main requirement for this option is the rigidity of the base in which important condition is the preservation of the integrity of the waterproofing layer. The base can be made of a concrete screed or. Requirements for material strength and its resistance to static and dynamic load. The most common external coating for a flat design is paving slabswhich is installed on additional stands or sand pillows;
• non-exploitable. Considering the fact that the roof of this type is designed to perform exclusively the protection functions of the building from external factorsThe special requirements for the stiffness of the insulation layer or the strength of the base is not. The arrangement of such a roof is much easier than the construction;
• classic. When arranging a classic type on the base, a vapor insulation layer is placed in order to ensure the protection of the insulation (minvati or foam) from moisture. Waterproofing provide bituminous materials;
• inversion. The roofing structure involves the location of the waterproofing layer at the insulation, which prevents moisture accumulation in the insulation. At the same time, the temperature differences that destroy the waterproofing are minimal under the insulation.

In order to make a house project with a flat roof, you need to think over the coating option in advance.

Where to start design

The purpose of the design of any roof lies in proper choice and calculation of quantity essential materials , as well as in a clear expression, what load will carry all the elements involved in the design.

The project is a plan. In the project plan, each stage of work should be displayed.

The project is most convenient to perform in a special program.which will help not only display the future structure, but also help calculate the size of the materials, their load.

Design is made by steps:

• Sketch of the roof is performed. At this stage, the color is approved, the geometric shape of the future roof, with the indicators of the roof size, the load of materials is calculated taking into account regional atmospheric influences. It should be remembered that snow load on a flat roof is more significant than on pitfall structures;
• calculation of the section of beams and lengths of the rafter system boards. It is very important to correctly determine the pitch of the crate, since it is precisely the rafter design withstands the entire load;
• a schematic drawing of the roof is performed. At this stage, the location of all additional elements of roofing structures is taken into account.

After performing the drawing, the roof is processed by the preparation of the estimate - Costs for materials, structural elements and tools (if necessary), which are required to fully perform work on the arrangement of a flat roof.

It is not necessary to get involved in the decorative features of these elements - it is most important to pay attention to their functional features.

Lightweight flat roof

The flat system of lightweight design is installed in the regions with a minimum amount of precipitation.

The construction of a lightweight roof is very similar to the creation of a classic flat design structure.

However, there is some features of its construction:

• At the stage of installation of supporting beams, it should be noted that they will hold the entire design. Secure them need through anchors. The cross section should be calculated taking into account the maximum burden of snow;
• the doomed laid on the beams should be solid, no gaps, more than 2.5 cm thick;
• waterproofing, placed on the crate, stackedwhich is bonded by a hot way. The edges of the film should go beyond the roof line;
• on the waterproofing layer, a solid insulation without gaps. Docking places close up mounting foam;
• further place OSB plates or waterproof plywood board.

This is how the cake of a lightweight system looks like. All layers are bonded by anchors and are coated with an outer layer of waterproofing.

Operated flat roofing

The flat roof that performs additional features, except for protecting the building from cold, wind, snow and rain.

The main advantage of such a roof is the possibility of arranging free space at its discretion: Install the platform for recreation, terrace, court, bath and even pool.

Such roofs are ideal for both cottages and a cottage.

In order for the necessary buildings on the roof to be reliably equipped, it is necessary to take care, first of all, the strength of the foundation.

• thermal insulation;

Conclusion

Thus, there are several options. Special attention in the construction of a direct design should be given to ensuring ventilation and the creation of conditions in the design to prevent moisture.

The originality of the straight roof can be in the arrangement on it additional areas for recreation, and this option should be considered in the process of creating a project. If everything is right to calculate and use qualitative materialsSuch a design will not give up the scope options.

Useful video

In this video, you will see one of the projects of the house with a flat roof:

In contact with

The domestic consumer has long been familiar with the peculiarities of a flat roof, and believes that it is used for multi-storey state buildings. But modern manufacturers decided to expand their market, and found a new scope for her.

This is surprising, but appeared with a flat roof, characterized by the same set of functional features. It is primarily suitable for the terrain in which snow winters and strong wind streams occur at the time concomitant of their manifestation.






Their power will promptly blow up large layers of snow, and the roof will always be clean. And powerful hurricanes will not be scary to cover the roof. The fact is that it will actually won't.



But this is only part of its capabilities. It will be possible to place a lot of useful buildings for different times of the year. It may be a greenhouse or little Sad.A, can the dance site. Other options based on the strength of its owner are also available.



But so that everything succeeds well, it is necessary to study the nuances of creating such structures. Now we will deal with the consideration of many issues related to this topic. To begin with, we advise you to get acquainted with the photo of houses with a flat roof, which have already proven their suitability for various purposes.



What is the benefit of this roof design?

If we talk only about a private house, then they lie down in the following moments:

This version of the roof will take a smaller area in comparison with the most gentle scanty modifications. This will help to save on the number of materials.

The process of its construction is noticeably faster than the installation of the twin or hip version. Due to this feature to create modern houses Flat roof is noticeably more profitable.






The safety and safety of the necessary rafter work processes is ensured. She is pretty spacious with her difficult to fall.



Differs from double design the fact that there is no need to exercise dismantling work with outdated coating. It can be used as an additional waterproofing or protection. This will help save energy and time.



Its surface is suitable for use as an additional area for the organization of a flower bed, a cozy terrace, greenhouses.



You can mount various transparent elements to help organize beautiful view On the open starry sky at night or clouds with the sun in the daytime. And a charging review opens to admire the rain or severe storm - there are fans of this state of nature.



Helps to fit the house under the basics of the style of minimalism. He now scored noticeable popularity.



And what are the shortcomings? - Unfortunately, they are ...

If there is no strong wind, this option generously collects a lot of snow on its surface. It will be necessary to clean it often to use the territory for your purposes. Sometimes it can lead to noticeable leaks.



Cleaning snow will often have to be using mechanical means. They can damage the roof.



The roof structure is characterized by a special complexity in comparison with other types of forms. It will have to organize a lot of drainage. They, in turn, often clog.



From the scope of the roof coating, water flows independently and it happens very quickly. She does not have time to apply noticeable damage.





On a flat version, water usually stands in place and accumulates as the precipitation drops durable. We will have to control the humidity of the insulation and make the coating at a small angle so that the water gradually found the drains.






It will take less materials for it than for scope. But the creation itself is more complicated. There are many subtleties about which not everyone knows and therefore often such an option of the roof does not go out as he thought.



Because of this, many believe that the flat roof in a private house is not the best way. But now domestic producers have learned about positive western experiences and learned how to create the right materials.



And specialists in assembly work adopted the methods of quality work in this direction, and the situation began to change in best side. This approach has already been able to take care of Russia.



Is it suitable for frame versions of houses?

Yes, today you can see the frame house with a flat roof, increasingly and it is perceived by the ordinary thing. This roof can be two directions. For operation and without it.



If the roof is used, then it is adapted to convenient movement of people along its coating. This uses a rigid version of a screed or another hard base option. Due to pressure from the movement of people, the roof can give to flow. In this regard, it is necessary to consider the creation of reliable insulation from water.








But there is a version without manifesting a person. Usually, no one walks or rarely appears to clean its surface. The load on its area is distributed over the entire surface. But she has one significant problem. The service life is too small. Although such a version due to, possible, satisfying the situation of features, is often used.



There is also a classic version of a flat roof. It is often referred to as a mild roof. It is formed by the bearing stove. Thermal insulation on it is stacked over the coating for vapor barrier. And then over the thermal insulation, the bitumen version of waterproofing in the form of rolls is rolled.



Due to the favorable features, this option is used to form such a modification of the roof in a frame house more often than any other.






But experts also identify the inversion version for the formation of a flat roof. Sometimes this modification helps create a house style with a flat roof, taking into account the creative thoughts of an experienced designer. It is distinguished by the fact that the waterproofing will have to be applied to the waterproofing carpet.



This will help protect against the change in the temperature effects and ultraviolet rays from the Sun, which is important if it is located in the open area and under their direct access. And this version allows you to increase the service life - the force of exposure to waterproofing from the processes of melting or freezing of snow precipitation is noticeably reduced. It is quite suitable for installing furniture, montaming of the greenhouse.



Important moments

For high-quality arrangement of a flat version of the roof in any case, the laying will be required proper option carpet. It will help soften the base in the case of temperature or mechanical exposure. This will help ensure the durability of the coating.





Now, based on the impact of Western culture, the Russians have become increasingly paying attention to this roof option. The domestic user has realized that a cup of coffee at any time on such a roof a wonderful option. Here is the open sky at any time. And there is constant access to clean air. This is an excellent option, but the scope roof cannot offer this.






Of course, to afford such a roof may not all. Typically, the maximum for Russian is access to the balcony. But over time, it will become a reality for each inhabitant of our country.






If you have the opportunity to create it today should not be doubted this is the best option. Today, hai-tech houses are gaining great popularity and based on their basis mainly flat roof. She became already full of their companion.



Stock Foto Houses with flat roof























In Ukraine, projects of houses with a flat roof are fairly in demand. Our brother is more familiar with ordinary classic roofs, and there is a simple explanation. "The roof, that's it and the roof that would protect from snow and rain, which means that it should all drain and delay anything. If you make it flat, then where do you go natural precipitation? " - So many people think. In Ukraine, such houses are also uncommon. Here they are exclusive. So, let's try to figure out that the truth is, and what you need to really fear.

Project of the house with a flat roof - pros and cons

1. Cleaning. On a flat roof, snow and water can really linger. If it is made incorrectly and poorly, then all this will gradually leak into the house, and, even, may be pretty to upset the ceiling of the upper floor. Therefore, the design stage is very important on which the slope is calculated. Yes, yes, do not be surprised, it is the slope. Even the smoother roof must have at least a small tilt, which will not be visually visited, but which will be enough for water drain. More difficult in winter when snow lies on the roof. After all, he can linger even on the coolest roof, not to mention flat. He will melt in a thaw, then again freeze, as a result of which a solid ice crust is formed on the roof. And this is a high probability of leakage, especially in the spring. Therefore, the roof must be regularly brushed from snow. But for those whom the shovel is not hunting, you can install the "antiy" system, which will heat the snow and ice right on the roof.
2. Heat insulation. Classic roofs, thanks to the attic room, create an air layer, which is significantly insulates the house. A flat roof, as the attic does not form, does not have a similar interlayer and therefore it is necessary to warm it efficiently. She also needs good thermal insulation. The projects of houses with a flat roof initially must contain complete information about roofing materials and their quantity.
3. Easy installation. On the one hand, the flat roof is easier to make than a hollow, semi-unlighted, tent or twin. Here it is not necessary to rafters, no runs, no skates. Everything is extremely simple. But, on the other hand, the roof requires high-quality installation of the roof, whatever it flows and did not feel. In this regard, such a roof is much more complicated.
4. Application. The project of the house with a flat roof is good because such a roof can be inventing the application. But to do it, again, it is necessary at the design stage. A wonderful terrace may turn out on a flat roof. It is enough to make fires for safety. You can make a small canopy and put the sun beds. They will not harm too. On such a roof, you can even make a tennis court if the dimensions of course allow. Modern materials And the development allows you to make a herbal lawn and plant plants. Such application is especially good in urban conditions, where every bush is on gold weight.

It turns out that projects of houses with a flat roof have a lot of advantages, and their entire unclaimed in the expanses of Ukraine is related to what we have later than in the West, new developments appear in the construction sector and new materials. Yes, and to teach people to work with such innovations. But it is time to change stereotypes and keep up with the times.

Projects of houses with a flat roof from DOM4M

The project of the house with a flat roof can be bought on the website of the company DOM4M. The price of such projects will not be more expensive than on projects of other houses, for example. It depends rather from the size of the house and its complexity, rather than on the type of roof. Of course, the more "frills" will be at home, and the more difficult to embody their reality, the cost will be more expensive. Therefore, houses with a flat roof can fit into different budgets. As they say, everyone in need and if possible.

It should be not just a living area, but also possess high functionality, convenience and comfort. The frame house with a flat roof can fully satisfy these needs, and besides, it is the most quick-scale and economical project.

Benefits and disadvantages of frame houses with a flat roof

Contrary to attractive value, they did not acquire special popularity in countries in the territory of the former soviet Union. While more prudent Canadians and residents of the Nordic European countries have long used such houses for the construction of budget projects.

Such an alignment is associated with the fact that modern houses with a flat roof are not perceived by our people, because they are accustomed to using various non-residential areas for economic needs, and keep there any objects there. Also, the appearance of such houses seems pretty simple, and requires great effort from the designer to at least somehow fix it.

Its benefits can also include durability, lightness and reliability of the design. On average its value compared to brick house, cheaper by 30%, and the presence of the second floor or attic equates their cost. But the technology of construction of frame houses does not allow to build buildings more than two floors, because weak place Frame houses is the strength of the frame and interlated overlap at large loads.

Benefits:

• Smaller roof surface and as a result, reducing the costs of installing a rafter system and roof roof;
• Low Sailing Building allows them to apply them in regions with strong winds;
• Singness of the roof allows you to save on the installation of a drain system, and in the winter time the snow layer will not fall, and will serve as an airbag that holds heat;
• Project one-storey house Flat roof is always much easier and cheaper in comparison with conventional brick houses;

Disadvantages:

• The flat roof requires a rather complicated precipitation system;
• In winter, for flowing snow and ice, heated surface of the roof;
• Need to regularly monitor the roof state, carry out minor repairs cracks;

Types of flat roofs


In flat roofs there are no uniform design features. Therefore, they are separated by the type of use and design on:

• Inversion;
• Ordinary;
• Operated;
• Non-exploitable;

The main stages and technology construction of frame houses

Design

In the process of designing houses with a flat roof, the presence of a skate is envisaged, that is, the differences between two opposite walls. Typically, there is a slope between the facade and the back of the house, because most of the plane roof houses have a rectangular shape.

Two methods apply for the roof improvement.

1. The first - when the ceiling and the roof form one whole partition, But in this case, to ensure the slope, the ceiling will also be directed at an angle.
2. In the second case, a slight space is added Between the ceiling and roof overlap.

Bookmark Fundament

Since one-story frame houses are relatively low, so you can do without a particularly powerful foundation. Relative to the roof, the main load will fall on the perimeter around the upper edge of the building, and on the rafter system, if the roof will have a space.

Therefore, special attention should be paid to the fortress of the rafter system, especially if the roof will have a small slope, the load will be more than that of the roof with a large tilt angle.

Construction of walls

Walls in frame houses are easy enough. First, install the lower strapping on which the floor and carrier supports for the second floor or roof are installed on the designer. After, the internal and external trim is mounted on the resulting design, and the space between them is filled with a special insulation.

If a single-row roof is provided, the space below it is also filled with insulation and a special layer of waterproofing. The skeleton for a single roof consists of a wood grid paved on top of the rafted. This provides sufficient rigidity for subsequent laying of decorative coating.

Exterior finish

During the construction of frame houses, it should be particularly carefully chosen by the materials for the decorative lining of the house. This is due to the fact that houses with a flat roof and unsuccessful decor have a fairly simple and non-primary look, and sometimes associated with economic buildings.

But this can be avoided by appropriate decorative materials, the range of which is quite large enough.

Erecting flat roof

For the arrangement of the roof, you can use almost all roofing materials, the only thing to take into account is that they all must have the necessary characteristics and organically combine with the design of the building.

Despite the fact that the roof looks completely different, still it should have a minimal tilt for the drainage of precipitation. In the regions with a small amount of precipitation, it is permissible to arrange the roof with a minimum slope - from 5 degrees, and in a region with a large number, from 10 degrees.

At the same time, it should be formed not only by the slope of overlapping, but also due to the bulk of bulk insulation. Even a relatively large angle of inclination will not cause additional difficulties in the process of insulation and roof.

After all, almost all works have to do under their feet, and not at the height and in dangerous conditions, as with the roof of standard duplex roofs.

Lightweight roof construction



• After the bearing walls are erected, and the upper screed is installed, you can lay and fix the support beams for overlapping the roof. Depending on the alleged weight of the roof design, and the maximum values \u200b\u200bof falling precipitation, calculations are carried out relative to the step and the size of the required beams. Consequently, the larger the load on the overlap, the denser and thicker it is necessary to place beams. Typically, the beam step is 0.5-1 m, and the cross section used is from 100 × 100 mm to 150 × 150 mm.
• The layer of boards, plywood, drywall is layered on a layer of bearing beams. Then, the film and vapor polypoletor, and the resulting joints are covered with a wide scotch with a wide scote pullery to the resulting surface.
• Next, on a layer of waterproofing, a layer of heat insulation made from mineral Wat. or foamflast. Gaps and holes must be filled with mounting foam. If the heat insulator is able to absorb moisture, it is necessary to ensure that it is necessary to provide for it. A layer of moisture-resistant plywood is placed on top of this.
• At the end, all this "pie" is covered with a layer of soft tiles or an eurruberoid.

At the end you have a pretty warm and reliable roof, the surface of which can be used for its needs.

Construction of solid flat roofing

Flat solid roof has a significant weight, but in turn it can withstand sufficiently heavy loads. That is why the walls of the building should have enough big reserve Strength, and the overlap should be performed using metal beams, because wooden is unable to withstand a large weight.

For insulation, the ceiling is used quite large, to half a meter, a layer of claympsite, covered on a layer of plywood and waterproofing. On the top of which the concrete screed with the reinforcing grid inside. Such a roof is able to withstand quite high weight, and rarely needs to be repaired.

Solid roof with concrete slabs

This roof is quite quick-scale, but has a lot of weight and requires the use of heavy machinery. Therefore, it is necessary to have a powerful foundation and strong walls.

On top of the slabs, the floors are placed by a layer of boards on which the clamzite is placed, and the layer of reinforced concrete is poured on top. This overlap is strong enough due to its monolith, but also requires additional insulation both from above and below.

Insulation for roofing

The most accessible and cheap are falling inspected insulation, Such as ceramzite or perlite sand. But in comparison with polymer or mineral insulation, they have less heat insulation and with their help it is quite difficult to achieve a perfectly smooth inclined surface.

Mineral Wat-based insulation Although they have sufficiently high thermal insulation, but they are pretty soft. This fact causes measures to strengthen the upper waterproofing layer.

Usually, plywood sheets are placed on top of mineral wool and make cement screedthat distributes the load and gives additional rigidity. But cement has a lot of weight, and therefore the design should be strong enough.

Penodoneglo is a novelty in the market of insulation. This material is characterized by its unique qualities - it is racks to high temperature, does not give in to biological corrosion, high-strength, has a rather long service life due to low expansion and narrowing with temperature drops.

Extrusion polystyrene foam It is also a high-quality new product in the market of insulation and has unique characteristics, among which: in terms of heat insulation, this is the lowest-deplexing substance, has high strength, stealing chemical and biological effects, it practically does not absorb moisture. Thanks to all these characteristics, he is the best insulation at the moment, but as a result - a high price.
