Installing a quality roof is not just a matter of aesthetics. Roof repairs often begin when the old coating wears out.
And this poses a danger to the inhabitants of the house. Firstly, with strong gusts of wind, heavy slate, in which it was previously customary to “dress” the roof, can damage neighboring buildings or, in the worst case, harm people’s health. Secondly, an old roof is a danger to the structure of the building itself: even leaks that are imperceptible at first glance can lead to mold and the gradual destruction of the upper part of the building.
Budget but noisy
What are the best materials to use if you are planning a roof repair?? Of course, I want it to be cheap and beautiful. It happens, but the question of durability and quality of construction in this case remains open. For example, ondulin is an economical and quite attractive material. And besides, it is also very easy to mount. But not everyone knows that Ondulin is essentially a prestigious cardboard saturated with bitumen. Therefore, he is so easy. On the other hand, sheets of this roofing material simply fasten, so even a layman can cope.
The flexible tile is similar to Ondulin. But in quality it surpasses a cheaper analogue. This material has excellent heat and sound insulation properties.
It is possible to cover the roof with the help of a profiled sheet. Although it looks simple, it has many colors. The material is also light, but thin, so the additional layer will not hurt. Of the minuses, you can call bad sound insulation: in the rain you will probably have to make the sound on the TV louder.
A more prestigious option
For those who do not plan to save, spectacular ceramic tiles are suitable, which can be seen on the roofs of old houses in Europe. It has practically no minuses, with the exception of complex installation and high cost. Alternatively, you can use a metal tile: it is cheaper, but it looks just as good. True, like a profiled sheet, it has very poor sound insulation. As you can see, there are a lot of analogues to outdated slate, you just need to correctly assess your financial capabilities. Repair of the roof on a house with an area of 50 square meters will cost at least 40-50 thousand rubles. And these are only the services of specialists, at least the same amount will have to be paid for the material itself.
