At what temperature can Icopal glue be used? Installation of soft roofing. Installation of the bottom covering

Installation work is carried out in stages, in several steps, each of which is fundamentally important for the quality of the entire roofing system.

Preparatory work

No matter how reliable the coating soft roof, the roof may “move” or leak if the fastening is done without proper preparation. That's why preliminary work before laying the roof are very important and should be carried out by professionals in several stages.

Creating a rafter system

The rafters bear the main load from flexible tiles, so you need to make the correct calculation taking into account the weight of the roofing pie, wind and snow exposure.

Advice. Securely fasten the rafter legs, treat the wooden elements with special protective equipment to improve the reliability of the design.

Vapor barrier device

After installation, the rafters must be laid vapor barrier film which will protect roofing pie and insulation against condensation. The film is laid overlapping, and the resulting seams are taped.

Insulation

In order for the thermal insulation to hold securely, a block must be nailed between the rafter legs, which will hold the insulation boards. Choose correct thickness Thermal engineering calculation will help with insulation. Thermal insulation boards are laid staggered and covered with a wind and moisture protective film, which is secured with a counter beam.

Advice. The counter beam must be nailed parallel to the rafters to create a free ventilation duct to remove excess moisture from the under-roof space.

Installation bitumen shingles should be carried out only on a flat, solid base, for which it is preferable to use lathing and solid flooring made of moisture-resistant plywood or OSB. The boards are fixed with special galvanized nails.

After laying the base, preparation for the installation of a soft roof is completed - you can begin the main work.

Installation of bitumen roofing: materials used

When installing flexible bituminous shingles, we recommend using high quality materials IKOPAL brands, which are manufactured in accordance with European standards and certified according to Russian standards. To install a soft roof, you will need the following materials.

Roof covering includes:

• SBS-modified with a fiberglass base with colored slate coating on the top side;
• ridge- cornice strip similar composition for arranging cornices, ridges, ribs;
• valley carpet - a rolled protective material that is used to strengthen soft fused roofing in valleys and other vulnerable places;
• underlay carpet - roll waterproofing, the installation of which is mandatory stage in roofing installation work.

Advice. Underlay carpet laid over the entire roof surface from bottom to top parallel to the eaves overhang. Avoid wrinkles!

Additional components/materials

• Metal abutment strips, gable strips, and drip edges are needed to remove moisture from the edges of the roof and give it a complete appearance.
• Fastening bitumen shingles is impossible without special galvanized nails with a head size of 8 mm or more.
• IKOPAL mastic and adhesive-sealant are used to seal joints, overlaps, and other joints and seams.
• Elements such as deflectors, roof space fans or flanges for passing pipes provide the outlet ventilation systems on the roof.
• The IKOPAL drainage system, including gutters, brackets, funnels, elbows, and fastenings, allows you to effectively drain external water.

Vapor barrier

The instructions for installing the roof indicate the need to create a reliable vapor barrier layer. As a vapor barrier, it is worth using a durable four-layer reinforced membrane “IKOPAL Polycraft”, which not only protects against condensation, but also effectively reflects heat, reducing energy costs.

Advice. Lay the vapor barrier with an overlap of 100-150 mm and seal it with double-sided tape.

Thermal insulation

Installation of bitumen shingles involves the use of a heat-insulating material such as non-combustible mineral wool density from 30 kg/m3.

Windproof membranes

ICOPAL Monarperm hydro-windproof membranes, which are laid on top of the thermal insulation without a ventilated gap, help protect the insulation from wind and water.

Don't try to save money on materials for bitumen roofing, since this will lead to deterioration in quality and a reduction in maintenance-free use roofing covering.

Laying roofing material: installation instructions

The preparatory measures have been carried out, the base for the roof is ready - which means you can proceed directly to the installation of flexible tiles.

1. Install the underlay carpet

Ready first level base we lay a special waterproofing layer - underlay carpet “IKOPAL” K-EL or “Felix”. We unfold it from bottom to top parallel to the eaves overhang, fix it to the base along the top edge every 40 cm, along the bottom every 10 cm. We seal the overlaps with mastic.

2. Install the planks

We nail the cornice and end strips onto the underlayment using roofing nails in a zigzag pattern. The overlap is 3-5 cm, the pitch between nails is 10 cm.

3. Install the cornice strip

We remove the strip from the ridge-eaves protective film, we retreat from the inflection point cornice strip 10-20 mm, fix the strip joint to joint. In places of perforations and along the edges we nail.

4. Install the valley carpet

The carpet to protect the valley is installed in two layers: the top one matches the color of the main covering, and an additional layer of lining carpet is used as the bottom one. It is fastened with nails in increments of 20 cm. The valley carpet is laid in the direction of the valley axis with the edges fixed every 10 cm.

Advice. In order not to damage the valley carpet when cutting flexible tiles, a plywood sheet should be placed under it.

5. Installing ordinary bitumen shingles

To avoid visual defects when installing a soft roof, it is recommended to mix the shingles from four or six packs to balance the shade before installation. After this, you can proceed directly to covering the roof with bitumen shingles.

Roof installation starts from the middle eaves overhang and moves towards the ends. To lay the first row, we retreat 1 cm from the lower edge of the eaves flexible tiles and on this line we fasten the lower edge of the row petals, having previously removed the lower protective film from the shingles. Fastening is done with four or six (at a large slope) nails per shingle.

Advice. When using rectangular shingles, the number of nails should be increased to 5 per flat roofs and up to 7 on slopes with an inclination angle of more than 45 degrees.

During further installation of row tiles, we make sure that the petals of each subsequent row coincide with the cutouts of the previous one. In the area of ​​the ends, we cut the shingles along the edges, glue them to the end strip with mastic, and seal the seams with the appropriate adhesive.

Installation of tiles in hard-to-reach places

The installation of soft roofing in areas adjacent to a wall or chimney, in the area of ​​openings for laying pipes, communications, and on the roof ridge requires special attention and control. Failure to comply with installation technology in these places can damage the tightness and appearance of the coating.

The main rule when constructing installation passages or placing a soft roof on lifting strips when installing chimneys is to fix the shingles bitumen mastic and be sure to seal the seams with IKOPAL adhesive-sealant.

For installation ridge tiles use ICOPAL Combi ridge-eaves strip tiles measuring 25 by 33 cm. The instructions require that ordinary shingles be brought to the level where their fastening points will be covered with ridge tiles. The latter is laid parallel to the ridge, bending over the slope, then fixed with two nails on each side.

The overlap when laying ridge tiles should be 5-10 cm and cover the fastenings of each previous element. The final tile is fixed with mastic.

Advice. It is not difficult to divide the IKOPAL ridge-cornice strip into separate tiles: just break it into three parts in places with perforations.

Summary

Step-by-step instructions for installing flexible tiles will allow you to create a reliable, durable, beautiful roofing covering that will protect the building from leaks and atmospheric influences for a long time.

Correct installation technology along with use quality materials from the manufacturer ICOPAL will ensure long-term preservation of the operational and aesthetic characteristics of the roof.

Thrifty and forward-thinking homeowners choose ICOPAL - beautiful and durable bitumen shingles combine the best features of an ideal roof: environmental friendliness, durability and natural beauty. Company " Important House» performed by a professional Icopal installation– choose your version of a stylish roof from a European manufacturer, and we will turn your architectural ideas into reality.

ICOPAL company operates in the market roofing materials since 1986. Today the company is one of the world leaders in the production of bitumen shingles: many production sites all over the world (including Russia) provide the production of stylish and high-quality flexible roofing.

An important advantage of the brand is A complex approach for the design and installation of roofing - Icopal produces several series of durable and beautiful shingles, as well as a wide range related materials: valley, cornice and ridge strips, cushioning carpets and roofing adhesive. High quality auxiliary materials and a wide palette of colors make it possible to install an attractive and durable roof without much difficulty.

Russian homeowners choose Icopal flexible roofing for its practicality: the tiles easily withstand frost northern regions and the heat of the south, has high tear resistance and low windage. This means that wind and snowfall will not in any way affect the tightness and appearance of the roof. Flexible roof holds up well on slopes with a slope from 11 0 to 110 0. And combined with high efficiency and at an affordable price flexible roofing ICOPAL becomes the best option for private construction and cozy dachas.

Flexible tiles ICOPAL - the choice of the economical owner

The basis for bitumen shingles is fiberglass - a durable and reliable inorganic material that is resistant to rotting and organic damage. Mineral fiberglass is almost eternal: it is not afraid of either temperature changes or corrosion. The use of high-strength fiberglass gives Icopal flexible roofing resistance to mechanical damage– snow falling off the roof will not affect operational properties tiles.

Fiberglass is impregnated with SBS-modified bitumen on both sides. Polymers in bitumen impregnation are responsible for plasticity and resistance to deformation. Important point– similar bitumen is used in all components for shingle installation. With the integrated use of ICOPAL materials, you can not worry about the tightness of the roof for 40 - 50 years.

Upper, decorative layer The tiles are made from dust-free granules of slate or basalt. A wide range of shades and the strength of mineral chips will allow you to long years decorate your Vacation home , pick up architectural solution to match the building or surrounding terrain, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation and precipitation will allow the roof to be perfectly preserved appearance for several decades.

The bottom of the shingles is covered with an additional bitumen layer - it provides higher tightness and ensures faster and stronger adhesion during installation.

Among the wide variety of ICOPAL flexible tiles, it is worth highlighting three main collections:

Ikopal Plano (Finland)

A wide palette of shingle shades and the strict shape of the sheet allows you to create expressive compositions. The series is intended for installation on slopes with a slope of 11.3 0. Distinctive feature production - the use of several types of powder: coarse colored crumbs is applied to the upper side, fine-grained granules together with adhesive bitumen are applied to the lower side.

Siplast Versit (France)

A spectacular and expressive series for lovers of the classics. There are also several types of powder used in production: coarse-grained colored chips are applied to the upper side of the shingles, and fine-grained granules are used on the bottom. Centered outside there is an intermittent strip of adhesive bitumen, the center inside equipped with a non-removable strip of protective film.

The series is presented in several stylish collections: Versit Carre is presented in a palette of 12 expressive shades, Versit Ekale is presented in two classic colors (graphite gray and bauxite red).

Siplast Toisite

The series is intended for installation on slopes with a slope of 16 0. The double fiberglass base provides higher mechanical strength. The series is also presented in several collections: Toisite Carre (a palette of five shades), Toisite Ekeil (two classic shades), Toisite Ogive (presented in two strict “stone” colors).

ICOPAL soft roof installation technology

Flexible bitumen shingles are produced in the form of shaped modules of compact sizes. They are laid in overlapping rows, creating the visual effect of real tiles. A private house , decorated with high-quality tiles, stands out from its neighbors.

Each package of tiles contains Icopal instructions on installation. However, more rational decision There will be a search for professional roofers - the craftsmen know all the intricacies of installing flexible roofing. Only when high-quality installation shingles, you can be sure of the durability of the roof.

Basic rules for proper installation:

• Use shingles from several packages at the same time. This is necessary for alignment color range, since the smallest shades of mineral chips may vary slightly - this is not visible up close, but from a short distance the color transition will be striking.
• Do not lay shingles during precipitation - rain or snowfall negatively affects the quality of gluing, and leaks are possible in the future. It is also undesirable to carry out roofing work when negative temperatures, since severe frost reduces the adhesive properties of bitumen.
• Use a reliable one over the entire roof area lining material. A carpet from Icopal is perfect.
• Special attention it is necessary to pay attention to difficult areas: junctions, valleys, etc.

When installing an ICOPAL roof, you must follow the following scheme:

1. To lay flexible tiles, you need a rigid, level base. First you need to create a base of edged boards, OSB or plywood. We check that the surface is perfectly smooth - without nicks or irregularities. The humidity of the base should be average (no more than 20%).
2. We install ventilation. On slopes with a low slope (15° - 25°) the ventilation outlet is 33 cm2, for slopes with a higher slope (25° - 85°) - 16 cm2 per square meter.
3. To ensure the tightness of a roof with a slope of up to 85 0, we use ICOPAL underlay carpet. It acts as additional waterproofing.
4. We install valleys.
5. We install cornice protection and drip edges.
6. We mark with chalk lines.
7. We glue the shingles. If the roofing installation is carried out during the cold season, then the boxes with tiles should be stored in a warm room, and for additional fixation it is permissible to use a hair dryer. In the most “problematic” places (near all protruding structures), it is advisable to additionally secure the shingles with nails.
8. We install additional elements and roofing connections.

The company "Vazhny Dom" offers the most attractive prices for turnkey installation of flexible roofing. We strictly follow the instructions from the manufacturer and guarantee fast and accurate Icopal installation. The reliability of your roof is our main goal.

1.1. Construction of the base for the roof

1.1.1. Before installing the base under the roof, you must select the type of gutter fastening:

• long metal brackets are mounted on fillets and continuous sheathing;
• metal short brackets pre-fixed to the front board.

1.1.2. The base for flexible tiles must be solid, rigid and even:

• the difference in height should not exceed 1 - 2 mm;
• fastening is carried out with galvanized (ribbed, spiral) nails;
• Place the joints of the boards along the length on supports, hammer in at least 4 nails at the joints.

1.1.3. When making the roof base and to obtain quality surfaces a combined method is used: sparse lathing + moisture-resistant plywood or OSB:

• the lathing is performed in increments that are a multiple of the sheet size;
• moisture-resistant plywood or OSB is fastened with galvanized nails in increments of 300 mm along the sheathing and in increments of 150 mm at the joints of the slabs.

*– exact figures are determined by design calculations depending on the slope of the slopes, the presence of sheathing, snow load region, etc.

1.1.6. Shingles and accessories should be stored indoors or under an awning, stacking no more than 12 packages on top of each other and brought to the installation site as needed.

1.2. Installation of underlay carpet

1.2.1. An ICOPAL K-EL or FEL’X underlay carpet is laid on the base under the flexible tiles over the entire surface of the slope (Fig. 1). The underlayment carpet is laid from bottom to top parallel to the eaves of the roof with an overlap of 100 mm in the longitudinal direction and 150 mm in the transverse direction. The top edge of the underlayment is attached to the base using roofing nails at 400 mm intervals, the bottom edge at 100 mm intervals, and the underlay must be laid flat, without folds. The overlaps are sealed with ICOPAL roofing adhesive (the longitudinal overlaps of the ICOPAL K-EL underlayment are sealed with a self-adhesive strip applied along the edge of the roll). If on winter period Only the underlay carpet will be installed on the roof; its stability should be ensured by nailing the central part of the carpet to the base at 500 mm intervals.

1.3. Installation of metal cornice and end strips

Eaves and end strips are laid on top of the underlayment with an overlap of 30-50 mm and nailed with roofing nails in a zigzag pattern at intervals of 100 mm

1.4. Installation of cornice strip

The self-adhesive ridge-eaves strip ICOPAL Combi is laid along the eaves overhang, having previously removed the protective film from the bottom surface of the strip. The strip is laid joint to joint with a distance of 10-20 mm from the bend point of the cornice strip. The cornice strip is nailed along the edges and near the perforations, followed by covering the joints and fastening points with ordinary tiles (Fig. 3).

1.5. Installation of valley carpet

1.5.1. Two types of carpets are used to waterproof the valley. The ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet, matching the color of the shingles, is used as a top carpet, an additional layer of ICOPAL K-EL/FEL’X underlay carpet is used as a bottom carpet. Pre-lining carpets that approach the valley from the slopes are cut at the junction in the direction along the valley. The ICOPAL K-EL/FEL’X underlayment is laid along the axis of the valley and secured to the base with roofing nails at intervals of 200 mm. Pinta Ultra is laid along the axis of the valley, the edges of the roll are secured with roofing nails at intervals of 100 mm (Fig. 4).

If necessary (valley length from 10 m), the transverse overlap of the valley carpet is made 150 mm wide and sealed with ICOPAL roofing adhesive.

1.5.2. In the valley, the tiles are cut so that along the axis of the valley there remains open lane valley carpet with a width of 150 - 200 mm (see Fig. 5). When cutting tiles, to avoid damage to the valley carpet, place a sheet of plywood under the tiles. Each row of tiles is glued to the valley carpet using ICOPAL roofing adhesive, and the seams are sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant.

1.6. Installation of ordinary tiles

1.6.1. To avoid possible differences color shades use tiles mixed from 4-6 packages. Laying of ordinary tiles begins from the center of the eaves overhang in the direction of the ends (Fig. 6).

The first row of tiles is installed in such a way that the lower edges of the petals are located 10 mm above the lower edge of the eaves tiles (see Fig. 7).

The petals of the first row should cover the joints and fastening points of the eaves tiles. Before installing shingles, it is necessary to remove the protective film from the underside of the shingles (Fig. 8).

Each shingle is secured with 4 roofing nails 30mm above the cut-outs and along the edges. (4 nails/1 shingle). For slopes greater than 450, use 6 nails per shingle (two additional nails upper corners shingles). Subsequent rows of tiles are mounted in such a way that the ends of the petals are at the same level as the cutouts of the tiles of the previous row (see Fig. 9).

1.6.2. Installation of tiles rectangular shape ICOPAL Plano Claro is made in such a way that the central part of the wide blade of the upper row overlaps the joints of the tile fastenings of the lower row. Other petals should cover the places where the tiles of the lower row are attached (Fig. 10, 11).

1.6.3. When installing ICOPAL Plano Claro, each shingle is secured with 5 roofing nails at a distance of 30 mm above the cutouts and along the edges. (5 nails/1 shingle). For slopes greater than 450, use 7 nails per shingle (two additional nails at the upper corners of the shingle).

1.6.4. At the ends, the tiles are cut along the edge with a roofing knife and glued to the end strip with ICOPAL roofing adhesive, the seams are sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant. (Fig. 12).

1.7. Installation of roofing in places of installation openings

1.7.1. Sealing of passages through the roof of ventilation and communication pipes, antenna devices, etc. carried out using special passage elements secured mechanically.

1.7.2. The flange of the pass-through element is installed in the following order:

• using the template, mark and cut a hole in the lining carpet and base;
• ICOPAL roofing adhesive is applied to the lower surface of the flange, then the base of the passage element is installed (in this case, the lower edge of the flange is overlapped onto the already laid row of flexible tiles) and secured with nails along the perimeter of the flange at intervals of 150 mm;
• rows of flexible tiles laid on the surface of the flange are trimmed and glued with ICOPAL roofing adhesive;
• The seams are sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant.

1.7.3. Installation of the flange of the passage element on the finished roofing is carried out in the following order:

• install the passage element on the finished roof and outline it along the internal contour or template;
• cut a hole in the base of the roof;
• ICOPAL adhesive-sealant is applied to the lower surface of the passage element
• secure the base pass-through element with self-tapping screws;
• The required roof outlet is mounted on the installed flange, which is secured with self-tapping screws to the top of the flange (Fig. 14).

1.8. Installation of roofing at junctions with walls and chimneys

1.8.1. At the point where the slope adjoins the wall, a wooden triangular strip 50x50 mm is installed. The underlayment and ordinary tiles are placed on the batten. A strip of ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet is glued along the wall using ICOPAL roofing adhesive. The strip is placed on the wall by 300 mm, on the slope by 150 mm. The strip placed on the slope is also glued to the roofing adhesive ICOPAL. The upper part of the junction is covered with a protective apron made of galvanized steel, which is mechanically secured and sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant.

1.8.2. You can also use, instead of a strip of ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet, a wall apron made of galvanized steel fixed in the groove. Fastening the tiles to the apron is similar to fastening to the end strip (see paragraph 1.6.4.). The wall apron is covered from above with a protective apron (drip cap) made of galvanized steel.

1.8.3. The junction of the ramp to brick chimney performed using a pattern made from ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet or galvanized metal, manufactured directly on the job site. The resulting patterns are cut and folded, as shown in Fig. 15.

At the junction of the slope with the chimney, a wooden triangular strip 50x50 mm is packed to the base. The underlay carpet is placed on the rail. Ordinary tiles are placed on the batten from the underside of the chimney. The lifting strip for the lower part of the chimney is mounted so that it extends 300 mm onto the chimney wall and 150 mm onto the flexible tiles (Fig. 16). Then the side lifting strips are installed, which are placed under the tiles. The last to be installed is the upper lifting strip, which is also placed under the tiles (Fig. 17, 18). Fastening the lifting strips is similar to clause 1.8.1.

If the sections brick pipes more than 0.5x0.5 m and they are placed across the slope, it is recommended to install a groove (see Fig. 19) to prevent snow from accumulating behind the pipe.

The rows of tiles extending onto the side and top lifting strips are attached to ICOPAL roofing adhesive, the seams are sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant (Fig. 20).

1.9. Installation of ridge tiles

1.9.1. The ridge is mounted with tiles from the ICOPAL Combi ridge-eaves strip, breaking it into three parts at the perforation points. The size of the resulting tiles is 250x333 mm.

1.9.2. Row tiles are brought to a level at which the attachment points of the last row are covered with ridge tiles. Having removed the protective film from the bottom side, the ridge tiles are laid with the short side parallel to the ridge and bent onto both sides of the slope, then secured to 4 nails, 2 on each side of the slope. The ridge tiles are laid with an overlap of 50-100 mm in such a way as to cover the attachment points of the previous ridge tiles (Fig. 21). The last ridge tile is glued with ICOPAL roofing adhesive.

2. Calculation of material consumption*

* - the data given in the table includes 5% for trimmings (flexible tiles) and 15% for overlaps of the underlayment carpet.

Ridge and cornice strip Combi, 1 pack. – 10 m.p. ridge/ribs or 16 m.p. cornice.

Valley carpet Pinta Ultra, 1 roll. – 10 m.p. valleys.

Consumption of roofing adhesive ICOPAL

Consumption of ICOPAL adhesive-sealant – 6 ml/m.p. with a seam thickness of Ø 8 mm.

Check the condition of the roof twice a year (spring and autumn);

Remove debris, branches and leaves from the roof using a soft brush;

Ensure unhindered drainage of water from the roof;

Remove snow from the roof only if it can fall and create a hazard, or if it affects the strength of the structure. When removing snow, a 10 cm thick layer should be left to protect the roofing;

Do not use sharp objects to remove debris and snow;

For preventive purposes, it is necessary to inspect and, if necessary, repair installation openings, holes and cracks.

Download instructions

Designed for use on pitched roofs with a slope of 12 degrees. Shingles and accessories should be stored indoors, stacking no more than 12 packages on top of each other. In hot weather, bitumen products must be stored in the shade and brought to the installation site as needed. This will ensure easy separation of the film from the adhesive surface of the tile. Icopal bituminous shingles best option for self-installation.

Weather conditions for installation and foundation for the roof

The base for bitumen shingles must be solid, rigid and even. The material for the base structure can be tongue-and-groove boards, moisture-resistant plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). It is recommended to carry out roofing work at an air temperature of at least +5 degrees Celsius. However, tiles can be laid at temperatures below the recommended +5 degrees (up to -15 degrees inclusive), but the following conditions must be observed:

• Carry out installation only in the absence of precipitation
• The base for the tiles and underlayment must be dry and free of snow and ice.
• The underlayment carpet must be laid over all areas of the slopes
• Before installation, shingles must be stored in a heated room for at least two days and delivered to the installation site as needed.
• Self-adhesive layer on back side shingles must be heated with a hair dryer
• Mastic and glue must be heated in a steam bath

Important: OSB boards or plywood should be laid with joints spaced apart. Leaving 1-2mm gaps between the plates.

Experienced roofers use the following technique: roofing nails are inserted between a sheet already attached to the roof and a new one. As soon as new leaf The OSB will be nailed down and the nails will be removed. This method is simple and allows you to get uniform gaps of the desired size.

When laying bitumen shingle roofing you will need:

1. Underlay carpet produced by K-EL or Felix
2. Valley carpet Pinta Ultra
3. Combi ridge-eaves strip in color and texture matching the tiles
4. Cornice and end strips
5. Sealant and mastic
6. Nails, roofing knife and hammer

Each package of tiles contains brief instructions for installation of roofing.

Installation of underlay carpet

Installation begins with laying K-El or Felix underlay carpet over the entire surface of the slope. The underlayment is designed to provide an additional waterproofing layer and increase the service life of the roof. The underlayment smooths out unevenness of the roof base and also serves as temporary protection in case of a break. construction work. The material is laid from bottom to top parallel to the eaves of the roof with an overlap of 10 cm in the longitudinal direction and 15 cm in the transverse direction. The top edge is attached to the base using roofing nails at intervals of 40 cm, the bottom edge at intervals of 10 cm.

The overlaps are sealed with Icopal mastic. If the roof structure has a valley, then an additional layer of underlayment is laid in it. To do this, the lining carpets that fit the valley are cut at the junction in the direction along the valley. Additional underlayment is then laid along the axis of the valley and secured to the base with roofing nails at 20 cm intervals.

Installation of metal cornice and end strips

Installation of valley carpet

To waterproof the valley, Icopal Pinta Ultra valley carpet is used that matches the color of the bitumen shingles. It is laid along the axis of the valley. The edges of the roll are attached to the roof with nails at intervals of 10 cm.

Installation of cornice strip

The self-adhesive ridge-eaves strip Icopal Combi is laid along the eaves overhang, having first removed the protective film from the bottom of the strip. The strip is laid end-to-end with a distance of 1-2 cm from the bend point of the cornice strip. The cornice strip is nailed along the edges and near the perforation points, followed by covering the joints and fastening points of ordinary tiles.

Installation of ordinary tiles

Important: To avoid possible differences in color shades, tiles are used mixed from 4-6 packages.

Laying of ordinary tiles begins from the center of the eaves overhang towards the ends. The first row of tiles is mounted in such a way that the lower edges of the petals are located 1 cm above the lower edge of the eaves tiles.

Before installing asphalt shingles, it is necessary to remove the protective film from the underside of the shingles. The petals of the first row should cover the joints and fastening points of the eaves tiles. Each shingle is secured with 4 roofing nails 3cm above the cutouts and along the edges. 4 nails per shingle. For slopes greater than 45 degrees, use 6 nails per shingle. Two additional nails are at the top corners of the shingles. At the ends, the tiles are cut along the edge with a roofing knife and glued to the end strip with Icopal bitumen mastic. The seams are sealed with Icopal glue-sealant. Subsequent rows of tiles are sealed in such a way that the ends of the petals are flush with the cutouts of the tiles of the previous row. To ensure that the adhesive layer on the back side of the ordinary tiles does not stick prematurely to the surface of the valley carpet, the film on the loose parts of the shingles is not removed before trimming. In the valley, the tiles are cut in such a way that a strip of the valley carpet 15-20 cm wide remains open along the axis of the valley. When cutting the tiles, in order to avoid damage to the valley carpet, a sheet of plywood is placed under the tiles. Not shot film removed, and each row of tiles is glued to the valley carpet with bitumen mastic, and the seams are sealed with adhesive-sealant. The installation of rectangular Icopal Claro tiles is carried out in such a way that the central part of the wide lobe of the upper row overlaps the joints of the tiles of the lower row. Other petals should cover the attachment points of the tiles of the lower row. When installing Icopal Claro shingles, each shingle is secured with 5 roofing nails at a distance of three centimeters above the cutouts and along the edges. Five nails per shingle. For slopes greater than 45 degrees, use 7 nails per shingle. Two extra nails over the corner of the shingle.

Installation of roofing in places of installation openings

Sealing of openings through the roof of ventilation, communication pipes and antenna devices is carried out using special passage elements. The flange of the pass-through element is installed in the following order:

• Using the template, holes are marked and cut in the lining carpet and base.
• Bituminous mastic is applied to the lower surface of the flange.
• Then the base of the passage element is installed, and then secured with nails around the perimeter at intervals of 15 cm.

The rows of bitumen shingles laid on the surface of the flange are trimmed and glued with Icopal bitumen mastic. The seams are then sealed with adhesive sealant. The connection of the slope to the brick chimney is made using a pattern made from Icopal Pinta Ultra valley carpet or galvanized metal, manufactured directly on the job site. At the junction of the slope with the chimney, a wooden triangular strip measuring 5x5 cm is nailed to the base. The lining carpet is placed on the strip. Ordinary tiles is installed on the rail from the bottom side of the chimney. Lifting strip with bottom the chimney is mounted so that it extends 30 cm onto the chimney wall and 13 cm onto the bitumen shingles. Then the side lifting strips are installed, which are placed under the tiles. The last to be installed is the upper lifting strip, which is also placed under the tiles. The rows of tiles extending onto the side lift strips are secured with Icopal bitumen mastic. The seams are sealed with glue-sealant.

Installation of ridge tiles

Row tiles are brought to a level at which the attachment points of the last row are covered with ridge tiles. The ridge is mounted with ridge tiles from Icopal Combi ridge-eaves strip, breaking them into three parts at the perforation points. Having removed the protective film from the bottom side, the ridge tiles are laid with the short side parallel to the ridge and bent onto both sides of the slope. Then they are secured to four nails, two on each side of the slope. The ridge tiles are laid with an overlap of 5-10 cm in such a way as to cover the attachment points of the previous ridge tiles.

The last ridge tile is glued with Icopal bitumen mastic or using construction hair dryer. Upon completion of the installation of bitumen shingles, all seams, ends, valleys, junctions, and installation passages must be sealed with Icopal adhesive-sealant. The adhesive is resistant to ultraviolet radiation and retains elasticity, providing protection against moisture ingress into joints.

Recommendations for the use of Icopal bitumen shingles roofing

• It is necessary to check the condition of the roof twice a year - in spring and autumn, if necessary, repair installation openings, holes and cracks
• Remove debris, branches and leaves from the roof surface using a soft brush
• Ensure unhindered drainage of water from the roof
• Remove snow from the roof only if it can fall and create a dangerous situation, or if it affects the strength of the structure. When removing snow, leave a layer of 10 cm thick to protect the roof covering.
• Do not use sharp objects to remove debris and snow
