In the modern world return to our roots, traditions have become a kind of trend. It is also related to both types of roof materials that are used for the installation of roofs. One of them is shingle - it is the roof, which is made in the form of plates of wood size 600 mm 10*12*400. Shingles are made with a special cleaver, which split off of the wooden plates of chocks. Shingle can be with or without it (batten), with wedge-profiled squared cross-section - one edge narrower, and the other is wider, in the wider edge is made slot in which, when constructing the roof, is put by narrow edges shingle.
Conifers (larch, spruce and pine) are most commonly used for the building of shingle, because they contain resins that are natural antiseptics and prevent the formation of mold and mildew. Due to the resin content, these woods can bear sunlight and temperature effects. Wooden roof of conifers (especially larch) serves is very long. Before installation on the roof shingle is impregnated by special antiseptics.
Shingle on inhabited houses we recommend to install in three layers of overlapping with angle of flexion at least 23% - it is necessary to improve the waterproof properties of the roof. Shingle is installed on crate with cross-section 50x50 mm, taking into account that distance between the axles purlins should be: for a 3-layer roof - third of the length shingle, for a 2-layer roof - half length of shingles. Installation of shingles occurs from the eaves to the ridge, and row from the right to the left. Shingle is leaded by narrow edges into the grooves and nailed the top and bottom and herewith the following row of installation must overlap the sutures of installation of previous row. Shingle can be used for lining of facades.
Shingle roof is long-live (20-40 years), gives individuality and originality to any object.
