In our modern time, the choice of materials for the construction of any type of low-rise housing, be it a cottage, a summer cottage or a townhouse, is so extensive that sometimes not only an ordinary person, but even an experienced builder is lost when choosing. This is no exception for roofing.
The best choice for classic roofing is metal roofing . Recently appeared, from the point of view of advertising services, "innovative" coatings have not yet proven themselves in the market, have not been studied enough and have not been tested by time. The remaining "veterans" of roofing high-quality metal tile overtakes almost all parameters and is the best in the class " price /quality ".
One of its main advantages is lightness and at the same time the strength inherent in the material. This is achieved through the use of materials such as aluminum, copper, galvanized steel, which are coated on both sides with a paint and plastic (top) coating, a primer, a passivation layer and a zinc layer closer to the metal itself. Such " cake " reliably protects against deformation of forces, temperature fluctuations and the appearance of rust. Hence the next advantage of our " metal hero " - durability. Without intervention and minor repairs, such a structure is guaranteed to serve you 50 years! Installation, unlike slate or bituminous heavy "brothers" will not be difficult. After all, 1 square meter weighs no more than 5 kg, and fastening with roofing screws is possible, for example, even on an old bituminous roof! The aesthetic side of the issue should not be ignored either. If you are not indifferent to the old style and want to give your building the look of a count's castle, then the metal tile will come in handy. It should be noted that a variety of shades and colors will give the building a more modern style. It depends on the type of topcoat. Thus, when choosing a high-quality metal tile, the following selection criteria must be observed:
- make purchases from reliable suppliers with a good reputation, choosing a manufacturer with a warranty period of 10 years or more.
- the thickness of the coating has a fairly large spread. 0.3mm to 0.7mm. The best choice would be according to the principle of " golden mean " - 0.5 mm.
- type of coverage. Of the polyester, plastisol, and purala currently offered on the market, the latter is the most popular. All these coatings are very resistant to sudden temperature changes, which is important for Russian winter conditions.
Successful construction!
