Metal tile "Cascade

Metal tile "Cascade" applies when lining the roofs of low-rise buildings, private houses. This is one of the cheapest, lungs and durable materials in the domestic construction market. For the first time appeared as a cheaper alternative to roofs with clay roofs in Europe and the United States in the 50s. The Russian market came only in the late 90s, but managed to conquer his significant share of only 15 years. Metal tile sheets are not subject to rot, do not require replacement for 50-80 years, easy to install and production. However, to a certain degree of corrosion.

Advantages and disadvantages

Metal tile brand "Cascade" is a new subspecies of the classic sheets of metal tile. In addition to the new and modern design design, the sheet has become more durable and easy to install. Let's consider several advantages of the material:

• The ratio of value and quality. In addition to the fact that it is one of the cheapest materials on the construction market of the post-Soviet space, so it is distinguished by many other advantages that at such a price is a big plus;
• Easy installation. Before putting the roof, you only need to build the necessary framework and everything, you do not need anything else. Put sheets of metal tiles can any amateur builder;
• Material service life. Sheets of metal tiles are able to serve about 50 years without additional repair or replacement. The only kind of roofing on the market, which can serve longer - this is a standard tile from natural materials (the average service life of 70-90 years);
• There is a wide selection of colors and textures. Thanks to the special technology of applying painting, the colors do not fade over time in the sun and do not fade over time;
• Sheet metal tile is lung on the rise;
• Strength. Despite the fact that the material is very thin, it is characterized by special strength and resistance to mechanical effects;
• Metal tile looks great on the roof roof.

Despite its weighty advantages, the material has several drawbacks that will need to take into account when working with it:

• Sheets of metal tiles do not hold warm. This may become a serious problem, so the roof will have to be further insulated, even if the attic room is not planned to be equipped under residential;
• There is no sound insulation. During the rain or hail, it will be possible to hear the characteristic "drum" even in the house itself. To get rid of it, you will have to create an additional layer of sound insulation during the installation of the metal sprinkler;
• The durability of the roof service from the sheets of metal tiles is highly dependent on the quality of selected self-sufficiency;

Choosing a sheet of metal tiles, consider the characteristics and features of the roof and structure.

Characteristics of sheets

The main feature of the sheets of this brand Metal tile is an unusual shape and rummy face. The basis for such a decision was not aesthetic considerations, but an increase in the strength of the sheet. Due to the edges of the Cascade metal tile, it receives an additional increase in stiffness, resistance to loads. This reduces the weight of the sheet, which facilitates its installation.

Standard parameters of the sheet metal tile "Cascade" are as follows:

• The width of the sheet is 1180 mm, however, only 1130 mm are useful, the remaining 50 mm leave with the construction garbage;
• The length of one wave is about 350 mm. Based on this parameter and the angle of inclination of the roof, the optimal step for laying sheets is calculated;
• Profile height does not exceed 15 mm, which creates a clear and realistic drawing;
• Sheets are produced with different long - from 500 mm to 6500 mm. In addition to these sizes in the market, it is often found: 1200 mm, 2250, 3650 mm. The last three variations are the most popular on the market.
• There is also a selection of profile height - standard sheets go with a height of 15 mm, and premium 20 mm. There is also a profile with a height of 25 and above, but they are very difficult to find on the market.

Depending on the parameters and the type of roof, the metal tile sheet is required. According to the quality of the modern building market, one sheet thickness should not be less than 0.5 mm and more than 1 mm. If the thickness parameters do not comply with the standard, then there may be problems with operation. Also, the thickness in all areas should be the same according to the GOST and ISO standard. True, the first case provides for the minimum discrepancy in thickness at 0.05 mm. According to the ISO standard (global standard of quality), it is permissible to disconnect the thickness in different parts of a sheet of not more than 0.01 mm. The sheet metal tile "Cascade" is made only from rolled or cold steel.

A special decorative layer is applied to the metal tile sheet, which serves as additional protection. According to GOST, this layer must be applied before the material is prevented by a waveform. The sheet protected by this layer receives:

• Improved impact of ultraviolet radiation and corrosion;
• The strength of the material and the resistance to mechanical damage increases;
• Color longer retains the range even after a long time;
• Increased heat resistance.

Metal tile "Cascade" Excellent solution for both roofs with standard design and more complex.

• A hammer;
• Hacksaw for metal;
• Saw for cutting wood;

In no case do not cut the sheets of metal tile of the grinder, because This most you break the protective layers, worsen all the material indicators.
