VENTILATED EFFICIENT ROOFS

NATURAL, VENTILATED ROOFS CURVED TILE INSTALLATION SYSTEM Through the ages different cultures have viewed the roof as something to protect the home from outside forces: a refuge or shield. Today, in addition to continuing to provide cover, roofs have also developed to adapt to new artistic ideas and efficiency standards, two essential factors in roofing for modern society. The need to reduce energy consumption, and CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions to meet Horizon 2020 energy objectives, has resulted in a shift in recent years towards the use of materials and systems in building coverings...

PREPARING THE ROOF SLOPE Once the underlying roof structure is complete, the roof will be built by first installing the thermal insulation layer, which can be made from various materials (such as polystyrene, mineral wools, polyurethane, reflective insulation and natural fibres). The thickness of the insulation must be calculated depending on the climate zone where the roof is situated. A vapour barrier is installed immediately below the insulation to restrict the passage of warm, moist air from inside the house to the roof insulation. Once the thermal insulation is installed and correctly...

EAVES The first batten to be installed at the eaves must be at least 2 cm taller than the rest of the battens to maintain the roof gradient in the first row of tiles. To achieve this additional height, a taller batten can be used or a strip of wood can be added to a batten to make it taller than the others. Depending on the pitch, more or fewer tiles will be fixed to the supporting structure. In the case of unique features such as eaves, edges, hips, valleys, joints and ridges, all tiles and special pieces must be fixed to the supporting structure at these points. The fixing methods used to...

To ensure the roof is waterproof, particular care must be given to valley installation. A valley is installed from the bottom of the slope to the top and before the roof tiles are fitted. 1.- The ridge batten supports (fixed or adjustable, as desired) are screwed to the apex of the roof slopes. The supports are bent to take on the same angle as the roof slope. The supporting surface for the valley will be covered with a breathable, waterproof sheet, like the rest of the slope. When installing the battens, the pattern will be interrupted when reaching the bottom of the two slopes which meet...

JOINTS WITH WALLS OR CHIMNEYS ROOF MAINTENANCE There may be joints between the roof and upper or lateral walls or around chimneys and other protruding features. The accumulation of micro-organisms, moss, plants and other debris on tiles, valleys and gutters can impede the drainage of rainwater and the drying of roof tiles. This may lead to problems and cause leaks. Adequate sealing of these joints using multi-use waterproof flashing tape is critical to ensure the roof is fully waterproof: Roof tiles are made from a natural material and so should never be treated with any product which could...
