After the construction of the roof structure and covering it with modern roofing materials, it's time to line the roof with your own hands. Not only the appearance of the roof and the house, but also the quality of roof ventilation, which affects its durability, depends on what material you will use for lining. In this article, we will tell you what is needed to make the roof look finished and beautiful.
Liner methods
Now you have already completed almost all the work with the roof, and the question arose before you of how to make a filing (lining) of the cornice part of the roof. There are two ways to bind:
- with the use of an additional frame and an inclination relative to the wall of 90 degrees;
- without the use of a frame and an inclination relative to the truss system of 45 degrees.
The peculiarity of the lining is that the work associated with it is carried out at a height, so it is necessary to use scaffolding or "envelopes" known to many builders.
Lining material
The market range of materials allows you to think about which one is better to choose for the finished roof design, for example, there are roof soffits.
Attention. For lining cornices, we do not recommend using cheap plastic. It is not durable, quickly loses its appearance, during the operation of the house, the lining will have to be redone repeatedly.
The eaves and canopy of the roof can be decorated with wooden clapboard, in the assortment of which you can find natural colors of wood or stained wood. Such standard roof eaves will be very practical.
Also often used for lining metal corrugated board. It is made from the same material as the main roofing. In this regard, on the lining and on the roof, a durable and equal in strength coating is obtained.
Most often, white tones of corrugated board are used in filing. The strength of this material allows you to make a lining of considerable size, while there is no danger of wind loads.
Successfully combined as a finished roof design, metal corrugated board and stucco cornice. Due to the installation of the profile, its frequency, ventilation is provided to the roof.
Vinyl siding can be used along with the profile. This material is lightweight and easy to install.
There is also a special material for lining - spotlights.It is aluminum plates with factory perforation.
This material is quite highly valued, but it also stands at its best:
- functionality;
- beauty.
No less functional lining from calibrated dry boards. Only it needs to be opened with paints and varnishes for a durable and impeccable service.
Tool set
To design the filing of the roof, it is not enough to have an edged board or lining.
Need to purchase:
- metal plates and corners;
- hacksaw;
- screws;
- screw driver;
- rope;
- forests.
You can see the importance of having these tools by reading the instructions for lining.
Performing basic work
The main works on filing the roof include several stages:
- Preparing the cornice for lining. Preparation is made after the installation of the truss system, when the crate is laid on the base. The rafters should be parallel to the wall of the house, for this it is necessary to saw off their ends along one line. If the width of the lining differs at the ends, this will completely ruin the finished look of the roof.
- As a rule, sawing of rafters is carried out in a vertical position. On the line that was formed after sawing off, the first board of the crate and filing is laid.
If you plan to insulate the walls, then this must be done before the lining. This is especially important if the cornice filing is carried out in a horizontal direction, and not in the direction of the rafters. Otherwise, the upper zone of the wall will not be insulated, which increases heat loss.
Advice. Therefore, carry out the lining relative to the insulated wall.
- When choosing a material for lining, pay attention to its quality.Because this material will always be subject to the vagaries of the weather. Wooden lining, for example, should not be wet, but not very dry either. It is better to use a lining that has been stored in a ventilated area for at least one month.
- Preferring to use an edged board as a lining, you can provide the roof with good ventilation around the entire perimeter. Yes, it should be noted that when making a clapboard filing, ventilation grilles should be installed.
- It is important which stitching method you choose. For a roof with a slight slope, it is more advisable to line it with an angle similar to the angle of the slope. In this case, the filing material is mounted parallel to the wall, directly on the rafters. It is important that the bottom line of the rafters form a flat plane.
- To align the binder, it is necessary to correctly install the elements of the installation material on both sides of the same plane. Only after that screw the remaining elements. In this case, if the contact of the roof slopes is angular, it is necessary to fasten the lining or boards on both sides to the corner rafter.
- With a horizontal lining from the rafters to the wall, it is necessary to make a frame for filing, which is attached to the rafters on one side, and on the other hand, to the place where the rafters approach the wall element. At the point of contact of the roof slopes, the board does not stand on edge, but flat. Thus, a rigid structure is formed, which will not depend on the wall. It is better to use metal plates as fasteners.
- For reliable fastening of the lining, profile or board, at least two screws must be screwed into the fastening points.
- Important points.If the filing is made of wooden elements for weather protection, it must be treated with a protective antiseptic and a high-quality paint and varnish coating. Processing is carried out in dry weather. For the long-term preservation of the lining, it is necessary to equip the drainage system.
The main thing is that the roof "breathes". Therefore, it is necessary to provide ventilation with the quality of the lining. Of course, the appearance of the house consists of many components. Some of them are roofing and lining. Harmony in this respect speaks of the good taste of the owner of the house.
