DETAILED GUIDE TO PROFESSIONAL TILE ROOFING TECHNIQUES

DETAILED GUIDE TO PROFESSIONAL TILE ROOFING TECHNIQUES

The roof is an important part, which many people care about and pay attention to when designing and constructing houses. To maximize the function of the roof, you need to know how to tile properly. In the article below, we will share with readers the most professional tile roofing techniques advised by leading construction experts today.

1. Familiar types of roof tiles in construction

Currently, there are 2 popular types of tile roofs, used in many projects including: roofs with wooden, iron, galvanized steel truss frames and roofs with concrete tiles.

- Roofs with wooden, iron, galvanized steel truss frames

The roof of the wooden, iron, galvanized steel truss system has the following characteristics:

• The minimum roof slope is 35 degrees, the optimal slope is 40 degrees.
• If the roof is longer than 6m, the slope should be increased (about 45 - 50 degrees) to ensure good drainage.
• The distance between 2 trusses (center to center) is between 34 - 36cm.
• The last truss should be a double truss (twice the height of the normal truss).
• The 2 trusses on the roof peak (ridge ditch) should be 4 - 6cm apart.
• The purlins (wind bridges) should be installed thicker than normal to have good load-bearing capacity, avoiding the tile roof from sagging in the middle.
• If using a wooden truss system, you should choose wood with a smooth, even surface, high hardness, and durability over time. To create aesthetics, avoid termites and water seepage.
• In areas near the sea - where the level of metal corrosion is high, stainless steel trusses should be used.

- Concrete roof then tiled

• The minimum roof slope is 30 degrees.
• If the batten is made of mortar, it is similar to the iron batten system, the distance between the 2 batten is slightly larger but does not exceed 370 mm.
• However, this type of roof is used less and less because the tiles are stuck to the concrete block, cannot expand or contract when the weather changes and are difficult to repair or replace in case the tiles leak, crack or break. Instead, people spread a layer of lito & cau phong on the concrete roof before roofing. This type of roofing meets the aesthetic factors of modern style villas.

2. Tiling technique

For the two types of roofs above, there is usually a common tile roofing technique. The tile roofing technique includes the following steps:

- Tile roofing technique

• Lay the bottom row first, from bottom to top, from left to right.
• The first tile is 3cm from the side edge.
• The last tile should be a double tile (double the height of the normal tile).
• The string should be stretched to get the standard line of the side edge and the first row of tiles and stretched again after covering 1 - 1.5m horizontally to align the rows.
• Each tile should be firmly connected to the tile bar with a specialized screw for steel or wood depending on the material used to make the tile.
• Before screwing, use a pilot drill to penetrate first, you can use a 6mm drill bit or use the specialized screw itself.
• It is recommended to lay in a straight line (overlapping the waves) to get a straight, beautiful tile roof.

- Ridge tile and edge installation technique

• The ridge tiles must be laid from the outside in, connected with dry mortar, spreading the mortar evenly at the base of the tile.
• When the mortar is hard enough, use a steel trowel to cut off the excess mortar and smooth it.
• The distance between the ridge gutters must be correct. If it is too large, the ridge tile will not cover the entire ridge gutter and cause roof leakage.
• When installing the specialized screw, the mortar must be close to the decorative side panel. Screw or use dry plastic mortar to spread evenly at the contact area.

3. Notes when performing tile roofing techniques

When performing the above tiling technique, you should note the following points:

• If the mortar sticks to the dry surface and is white, use a sponge or a dry soft cloth to wipe it clean.
• The distance between the 2 tiles must be the same for the entire tiled roof (except for the last tile) to ensure that the tiles are parallel to each other. Divide the tiles from the top of the roof down, the excess rows should be gathered in the last or second to last row.
• The water flow lines must be properly placed, the gutters must be long; the gutter wings must be wide, and there must be anti-overflow edges.
• The roof slope must be greater than 22 degrees to ensure that water leaks are avoided.
• The tile cutting line must be on the positive wave of the tile.
• For roofs in the highlands, close to the sea, the roof should be sloped from 40 - 45 degrees; the distance between the tiles is 32 - 34cm so that the roof drains quickly; avoid being blown back when there are storms and strong winds.
