The adornment of every nice roof

The roofing tiles count to the proven roofing materials. They are valid as long-lasting and easy-care and serve the protection and the optics of the house. At the same time they connect tradition and modern age in skilful manner. Today roofing tiles with a variety appear in forms and application possibilities, so that it will be difficult for some house-owner absolutely to decide on a form and colour.

The kind of the roofing is depending on the inclination of the roof, so that according to least roof inclination different roofing kinds can be used: Beaver’s tail cover, hollow frying pan cover, monk’s nuns-brick cover, grooved tile cover, flat roof frying pan cover or Verschiebeziegeldeckung. The so-called beaver’s tail is valid as the oldest roofing tile form. He owes their name to his typical lower edge which is formed as a round arch. Today the beaver’s tail cover is used with pleasure with the sanitation by old buildings, however, an adornment is also for new buildings. Because the beaver’s tail bricks have no fold, they are used predominantly on more precipitous roofs. Indeed, they can be used with suitable additional measures also with more level roof inclinations.

If the house owner has decided in arrangement with his speciality company now on a roofing kind, now the selection of the colour follows. Indeed, this is not necessarily a light job. Since who stands as an owner of a house now before the colour choice for the roofing tiles, can choose from variously colours. Whether deep black, extravagant Deep-blue or a natural red sound, the assortment in colours has grown during the last years on and on. Indeed, everywhere not all colours are permitted. Therefore, it is recommendable to catch up the approval of the responsible building control office before the roofing of the roof, so that later the bad awakening does not come.

The specific features of a professional flat roof repair.

At a house with flat roof it can seem that on account of the low inclination water puddles form after long rainfall which can lead then to damages to the roof. Also other factors can come which make a sanitation of the flat roof necessary.
Who takes into consideration a flat roof sanitation, needs with it an optimum protection before external influence and it no other measures are as a rule about long years. A flat roof sanitation can be explained with variously flat roof kinds: Industrial roof, bungalow roof, aluminium roof, bitumen roof etc. flat roofs can be divided into so-called warm roofs and cold roofs. With warm roofs roof isolation and heat insulation lie as a rule immediately on the weight-bearing construction, while with the cold roofs between the insulating layer which lies on the weight-bearing constructions and exists the roof isolation an additional layer and there the air can circulate.

Indeed, every flat roof does not need compelling a warm isolation, with underground parking possibly she is not necessarily necessary. Should a flat roof be completely redeveloped, must be respected to a sufficient slope, so that the sediment water can be derived easily. This can be reached by a slope insulation or by dividing layers or balance layers. The choice of the materials for the flat roof sanitation is directed after whether the flat roof sanitation with or without heat insulation should be explained. Then thus are used, for example, polyurethane or Polyurea. It is worked with a Polyurethan local foam system, an optimum heat insulation is reached thus and the sanitation of the flat roof is fast concluded on account of the time advantage. With all variations of the flat roof sanitation the weight-bearing weight must be considered for the roof structure. This is valid particularly when the old sealing package on the roof remains and increases then by additional sealing positions the weight-bearing weight.

Restoration of the roof after energetic graduations

Only one well dammed up roof can guarantee a healthy space climate with low heating costs. Mostly the way leads there, just at older houses, about an energetic roof renovation. Older roofs are dammed up often badly or sealed only insufficiently. The result are warm bridges, drafty space climate and of course extremely high heating costs.
Because the energetic standards have changed in the course of the years very much, today it is for many house-owners considerable to let carry out an reflective roof renovation by specialists. Now after a professionally explained roof renovation the attic is optimally heatinsulated and the heating costs sink. Indeed, this is not always easy to realise, because just older houses often show very winding roof structures. Therefore, these works always had to go to an expert will leave, so that the expenditure also pays off really. With an energetic roof renovation the dangers of construction damages make also clearly minimise, because moist damages and mould damages by an energetic roof renovation to begin with avoided. Besides, the house-owners who plan an energetic roof renovation can fall back on conveyor means of the KfW conveyor bank. Thus not only the costs can be better planned, also the value of the real estate will increase after an energetic roof renovation substantially.

Therefore, house-owners should push her renovation plan not on the long bank, but think in progress Heinz and energy costs savings of a renovation of the roof. To come to the pleasure of the conveyor means of the KfW-conveyor bank, it repays to find out on the web page of the KfW-conveyor bank about the directives and request forms for the subsidies for an energetic roof renovation. Thus an energetic modernisation is worthwhile equally twice: Subsidies of the state and decrease of the heating costs and energy costs.

Roof repair – Much more than only the repair of the roof

To a comprehensive roof sanitation counts much more, than the repair of a roof. At the same time the sanitation is a good opportunity to think of insulating measures and the use of renewable energy. Just in times steadily of rising energy costs the insulating works which are explained within the scope of a roof sanitation make sense. Thus the running costs can be lowered, the space climate improves itself and the real estate profited from a value increase.
Before the owner thinks about insulating measures in the course of a roof sanitation, it is recommendable to find out about the different aid programmes. Thus some costs can be saved under circumstances. Should the roof sanitation of an inclined roof walk along with an energetic modernisation, the owner of the real estate should think to himself to begin with about the use of the attic. If the attic is required merely as a storeroom, the additional insulation of the uppermost floor cap is a reasonable lysis. Should the attic be used as a living space, it is advisable also the roof-sloping from below and on top to insulate with as well as on top ground to think gable and partitions. Basically there are several possibilities to incorporate the insulation with a roof sanitation. Speciality companies consult moreover. The insulation counts to the most often explained insulating procedures between the rafters.

Beside this interrafter insulation can occur according to actual fact, an insulation outside on the rafter. This over rafter insulation is often used in the course of a new roofing of the roof. An other possibility of the insulation is the underrafter insulation which can come, for example, with half-timbered houses to the train. Who pays attention with the roof sanitation to an optimum insulation, can save in future energy costs and heating costs and apply, besides, for conveyor medicine with the KfW conveyor bank.

Timely cleaning and the moss rake extends the life span of the roof!

In the course of the years older roof roofings become unsightly. Soiling, mosses, lichens and algae settles on the roof roofing and affects the optics of the house. Indeed, it is with the subject Roof cleaning not only about the external appearance of the roof, because without roof cleaning and roof moss rake severe damages to the roof structure can threaten. Bricks become porous, rainwater can run off only insufficiently, humidity collects and forms with it an ideal culture medium for mosses. The fine roots penetrate into the roofing tiles and shorten thus their life span.

Timely roof cleaning and the moss rake is extremely important for the life span of a roof. The roof cleaning had to go ideally to the expert will leave, because he can identify beside the realisation of the roof cleaning also any damages to the roof. With the professional roof cleaning depositions, mosses and lichens become careful, but thoroughly from the roof roofing remotely. If damages to roofing tiles are discovered, besides, the damaged bricks are renewed in the course of the roof cleaning. So that the environment of the house is not affected with the roof cleaning, professional speciality companies cover the suitable surfaces like garden pond, conservatory etc. with plastic tarpaulins.

Then the thorough and environmentally friendly cleaning of the roof surface occurs by means of high-pressure rays. Chemistry is not used, on this occasion, as a rule, so that the roof cleaning is carried out enviromentally. In this manner the whole roof surface is pore-deeply cleaned and now the roof as well as the roof tiles are free of contaminations, algae and moss. After the professional roof cleaning a roof coating can be raised in the connection. She shows a reasonable alternative to a complete new roofing of the roof and is offered by experienced speciality companies.

Individuality with the house roof – roof colours completely by wish

Long ago it is not any more a standard to cover the house roofs in classical Brick-red. Now also with the house roof the individuality has entered. If it was up to now rather in such a way that the house owners have limited her individual colour wishes to the facade of the house, on balcony railing or window frame, now the coloured trend has reached also the house roofs.

Indeed, it is not in such a way that the sceneries are littered now with coloured spots of paint, no, it becomes seldom really coloured. Besides, the construction specifications orientate themselves increasingly by the wishes of the developers, indeed, the colour choice must be also brought with the house roof with the architectural circumstances in the surroundings in harmony. Also, therefore, there remains in many places rather by a discreet colour choice. But also there the house-owners can scoop from an extensive colour palette. Today the manufacturers offer varied bricks whose softly subtle colours adapt themselves harmoniously in the landscape. Besides, the house-owner has the choice between bright lustre icings and Engoben. With it new creation possibilities are also opened by the colour choice of the house roofs and the roof scenery receives new impulses.

However, in practice coloured roof roofing are not always accepted by the authorities. Often reaches in these cases a clearing conversation with the responsible person responsible and the presentation of an original of pattern. Many brick works offer to these pattern services, so that the house-owner can request free of charge for a roofing tile in the tone in which the roof should be covered. If it concerns not a new roofing, but around a roof coating, these criteria decisively decide on the quality of roof colours: Binding agent, colour pigments and fillers. To decide now on a roof colour, the house-owner should consult extensively to quality, durability, UV permanence and environmental friendlines

The flat roof sanitation develops a little bit differently, than the sanitation of a sloping roof.

A flat roof is stronger delivered on account of the construction as a rule to the effects of the weather, than a sloping roof. On a flat roof, for example, the rainwater stops much longer and the prevailing outside temperatures affect much stronger the surface layer of the roof. If a flat roof about the years at some places becomes leaking, the layman mends not seldom only these places instead of carrying out a complete roof sanitation. With this approach the annoyance is preprogrammed mostly, then a flat roof at some places shows undensity which is mended temporarily, it is only one matter of time, until also other leaking places appear.

Hence, it is to be advised with a leaking flat roof basically to redevelop the roof completely and not only to mend the leaking places. Nowadays very advanced materials are available for the sanitation of a flat roof. Beside the roof covering materials for flat roofs, as for example steel metal, copper or aluminium also different, very modern plastics are found for the flat roof sealing. Some manufacturers this specially for the roof coating to developed plastics guarantee a density stopping up to 30 years of the coating.

In most cases the surface is released with a flat roof sanitation in the first working step from contaminations and is sealed in the next step the leaking places with a sealing foam. Then the expert brings a priming on the roof surface. According to design and subsoil of the flat roof very different priming materials are used for this. As the last working step the expert raises the cap layer. The application of this cap layer is carried out as a rule 2-3 sometimes to receive 100% thick Abdeckschicht for the flat roof.
