1. Roofing from ICOPAL shingles

1.1. Roof base device

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

• metal long brackets are mounted on fillies and a solid crate;
• metal short brackets are pre-attached to the frontal board.

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

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

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

• the crate is performed in increments of a multiple of the sheet size;
• moisture-resistant plywood or OSB is fixed with galvanized nails in increments of 300 mm along the crate and in increments of 150 mm at the joints of the plates.

* - the exact figures are determined by the design calculation, depending on the slope of the slopes, the presence of the crate, the snow load of the region, etc.

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

1.2. Underlayment installation

1.2.1. An ICOPAL K-EL or FEL’X underlayment carpet is laid on the base under flexible tiles over the entire surface of the slope (Fig. 1). The lining 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 upper edge of the underlayment is attached to the base with roofing nails at 400 mm intervals, the lower edge at 100 mm intervals, while the underlayment must be laid evenly, without folds. The laps are sealed with ICOPAL roofing adhesive (longitudinal laps of the ICOPAL K-EL underlayment are sealed with a self-adhesive strip applied along the edge of the roll). If only an underlayment carpet is installed on the roof for the winter period, its stability should be ensured by nailing the central part of the carpet with nails to the base at intervals of 500 mm.

1.3. Installation of metal eaves and end strips

Cornice and end planks are laid over the underlayment with an overlap of 30-50 mm and nailed with roofing nails along a zigzag marking with an interval of 100 mm

1.4. Installation of the cornice strip

The self-adhesive ridge-eaves strip ICOPAL Combi is laid along the cornice overhang, having previously removed the protective film from the bottom surface of the strip. The strip is laid butt-to-butt with an indent of 10-20 mm from the place where the eaves plank is bent. The cornice strip is nailed along the edges and near the places of perforations, followed by overlapping of the joints and places of fastening with ordinary tiles (Fig. 3).

1.5. Installation of the valley carpet

1.5.1. For waterproofing the valley, two types of carpets are used. The ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet, matching the color of the shingles, is used as the top carpet, an additional layer of the ICOPAL K-EL/FEL’X underlayment carpet is used as the bottom carpet. Pre-lining carpets, suitable for 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 fastened 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-on are fastened with roofing nails at intervals of 100 mm (Fig. 4).

If necessary (the length of the valley is 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 in such a way that a strip of the valley carpet 150–200 mm wide remains open along the axis of the valley (see Fig. 5). When cutting tiles, a sheet of plywood is placed under the tiles to avoid damage to the valley carpet. Each row of tiles is glued to the valley carpet with ICOPAL roofing adhesive, the seams are sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant.

1.6. Installation of ordinary tiles

1.6.1. In order to avoid possible differences in color shades, shingles are mixed from 4-6 packs. Laying of ordinary tiles starts from the center of the cornice overhang in the direction of the ends (Fig. 6).

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

The petals of the first row should cover the joints and attachment points of the cornice tiles. Before installing shingles, the protective film must be removed from the underside of the shingles (Fig. 8).

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

1.6.2. Installation of ICOPAL Plano Claro rectangular tiles is carried out in such a way that the central part of the wide petal of the upper row overlaps the joints of the tile fasteners of the lower row. Other petals should cover the fastenings of the tiles of the lower row (Fig. 10, 11).

1.6.3. When installing ICOPAL Plano Claro, each shingle is fixed with 5 roofing nails at a distance of 30 mm above the cutouts and along the edges. (5 nails / 1 shingle). For slopes over 450, use 7 nails per shingle (two extra nails at the top 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 plank with ICOPAL roofing adhesive, the seams are sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant. (Fig. 12).

1.7. Roofing in places of mounting openings

1.7.1. Sealing places of passages through the roof of ventilation and communication pipes, antenna devices, etc. carried out with the help of special passage elements, fixed mechanically.

1.7.2. The installation of the flange of the passage element is carried out in the following order:

• according to the template, a hole is marked and cut in the lining carpet and the 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 on the already laid row of flexible tiles) and fixed with nails along the perimeter of the flange with an interval of 150 mm;
• rows of flexible tiles laid on the flange surface are cut and glued with ICOPAL roofing adhesive;
• seams are sealed with ICOPAL glue-sealant.

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

• install a 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 bottom surface of the passage element
• fix the passage element of the base with self-tapping screws;
• on the installed flange, the necessary roof outlet is mounted, which is fixed with self-tapping screws to the upper part of the flange (Fig. 14).

1.8. Roofing at junctions with walls and chimneys

1.8.1. At the junction of the slope to the wall, a wooden triangular rail 50x50 mm is stuffed. The lining carpet and ordinary tiles are wound onto the rail. A strip of ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet is glued along the wall with ICOPAL roofing adhesive. The strip is brought to the wall by 300 mm, to the slope - by 150 mm. The strip wound onto the slope is also glued to the ICOPAL roofing adhesive. The upper part of the junction is closed with a protective apron made of galvanized steel, which is mechanically fixed and sealed with ICOPAL adhesive-sealant.

1.8.2. It is also possible to use instead of a strip of ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet a wall apron made of galvanized steel, which is fixed in the stub. The fastening of tiles to the apron is similar to fastening to the end plank (see clause 1.6.4.). From above, the wall apron is covered with a protective apron (dropper) made of galvanized steel.

1.8.3. The junction of the slope to the brick chimney is carried out using a pattern from the ICOPAL Pinta Ultra valley carpet or galvanized metal, made directly on the job site. The resulting patterns are notched and bent as shown in Fig. fifteen.

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

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

The rows of tiles that go to the side and top lifting strips are fastened with 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-cornice strip, breaking it into three parts at the perforation points. The size of the resulting tiles is 250x333 mm.

1.9.2. Ordinary tiles are brought to such a level at which the attachment points of the last row will be covered with ridge tiles. After removing the protective film from the underside, the ridge tile is laid with the short side parallel to the ridge and bent on both sides of the slope, then fixed with 4 nails, 2 on each side of the slope. The ridge tile is laid with an overlap of 50-100 mm in such a way as to overlap the attachment points of the previous ridge tile (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 cuttings (flexible tiles) and 15% for overlaps of the lining carpet.

Ridge and cornice strip Combi, 1 pack. - 10 m.p. ridge/rib or 16 m.p. eaves.

End carpet Pinta Ultra, 1 roll. - 10 m.p. valleys.

Consumption of ICOPAL roofing adhesive

ICOPAL adhesive-sealant consumption – 6 ml/m.p. with a joint 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 with a soft brush;

Ensure unhindered drainage of water from the roof;

Remove snow from the roof only if it could 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 the purpose of prevention, it is necessary to check and, if necessary, repair installation openings, holes and cracks.

Designed for use on pitched roofs with a slope of 12 degrees. Bituminous shingles and their accessories should be stored indoors, stacking no more than 12 packages one on top of the other. In hot weather, bituminous 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 tiles. Bitumen shingles Ikopal is the best option for self-laying.

Weather conditions for installation and the base under the roof

The base for shingles must be solid, rigid and even. As a material for the construction of the base, a tongue-and-groove board, moisture-resistant plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) can be used. Roofing work is recommended to be carried out 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:

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

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

Experienced roofers use the following technique: roofing nails are inserted between the sheet already fixed on the roof and the new one. As soon as the new OSB sheet is nailed, the nails are removed. This method is simple and allows you to get the same gaps of the desired size.

When laying roofing from bituminous tiles, you will need:

1. Underlayment carpet manufactured by K-EL or Felix
2. End carpet Pinta Ultra
3. Ridge-cornice strip Combi in color and texture matching with the tiles
4. Cornice and end planks
5. Sealant and mastic
6. Nails, roofing knife and hammer

In each package of tiles there is a brief instruction for the installation of roofing.

Underlayment installation

Installation begins with laying K-El or Felix underlayment over the entire surface of the slope. The lining carpet is designed to provide an additional waterproofing layer and increase the service life of the roof. The lining carpet smooths out the unevenness of the roof base, and also serves as a temporary protection in the event of a break in construction work. The material is laid from the bottom up 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 with roofing nails at 40 cm intervals, the bottom edge at 10 cm intervals.

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

Installation of metal eaves and end strips

Installation of the valley carpet

For the waterproofing of the valley, the Icopal Pinta Ultra valley carpet is used, matching the color of the 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 the cornice strip

Ikopal Combi self-adhesive ridge-cornice strip is laid along the cornice overhang, having previously removed the protective film from the bottom of the strip. The strip is laid butt-to-butt with an indent of 1-2 cm from the bend of the cornice strip. The cornice strip is nailed along the edges and near the perforation places, followed by overlapping of the joints and fastening points of ordinary tiles.

Installation of ordinary tiles

Important: In order to avoid possible differences in color shades, tiles are used mixed from 4-6 packs.

Laying ordinary tiles start from the center of the cornice overhang in the direction of 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 cornice tiles.

Before installing bituminous 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 attachment points of the cornice tiles. Each shingle is fastened with 4 roofing nails 3 cm 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 shingle. At the ends, the tiles are cut with a roofing knife along the edge and glued to the end plank with Icopal bituminous 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 on the same level with the cutouts of the tiles of the previous row. In order to prevent the adhesive layer on the reverse side of ordinary shingles from sticking 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. The film that has not been removed is removed, and each row of tiles is glued to the valley carpet with bituminous mastic, and the seams are sealed with adhesive-sealant. Installation of Icopal Claro rectangular tiles is carried out in such a way that the central part of the wide petal 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 fastened 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 additional nails over the corner of the shingle.

Roofing in places of mounting openings

Sealing of openings through the roof of ventilation, communication pipes and antenna devices is carried out with the help of special passage elements. The installation of the flange of the passage element is carried out in the following order:

• According to the template, holes are marked and cut in the lining carpet and the base.
• Bituminous mastic is applied to the lower surface of the flange.
• Then the base of the passage element is installed, and then it is fixed with nails around the perimeter with an interval of 15 cm.

Rows of bituminous tiles laid on the surface of the flange are cut and glued with Icopal bituminous mastic. The seams are then sealed with adhesive-sealant. The junction of the slope to the brick chimney is carried out using a pattern from the Icopal Pinta Ultra valley carpet or galvanized metal, made directly on the job site. At the junction of the slope with the chimney, a wooden triangular rail measuring 5x5 cm is nailed to the base. The lining carpet is wound onto the rail. Ordinary tiles are put on a rail from the bottom side of the chimney. The lifting strip with the lower part of the chimney is mounted so that it extends 30 cm onto the chimney wall and 13 cm onto the shingles. Then the side lifting strips are mounted, which are brought under the tiles. The last to be mounted is the upper lifting strip, which also runs under the tiles. The rows of tiles that go to the side lifting lanes are fixed to the Icopal bituminous mastic. The seams are sealed with glue-sealant.

Installation of ridge tiles

Ordinary tiles are brought to such a level at which the attachment points of the last row will be covered with ridge tiles. The ridge is mounted with ridge tiles from the Icopal Combi ridge-cornice strip, breaking them into three parts at the perforation points. After removing the protective film from the underside, the ridge tile is laid with the short side parallel to the ridge and folded onto both sides of the slope. Then they are fixed on four nails, two on each side of the slope. The ridge tile is laid with an overlap of 5-10 cm in such a way as to overlap the attachment points of the previous ridge tile.

The last ridge tile is glued with Icopal bituminous mastic or with a building hair dryer. At the end of the installation of bituminous tiles, all seams, ends, valleys, junctions, installation passages must be sealed with Icopal adhesive-sealant. The adhesive is UV resistant and remains elastic, providing moisture protection to the joints.

Recommendations for the operation of a roof made of shingles Icopal

Thrifty and far-sighted homeowners choose ICOPAL - beautiful and durable shingles combine the best features of an ideal roof: environmental friendliness, durability and natural beauty. The company "Important House" performs 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 has been operating in the roofing materials market since 1986. Today, the company is one of the world leaders in the production of bituminous tiles: many production sites around the world (including Russia) ensure the production of stylish and high-quality flexible roofing.

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

Russian homeowners choose Ikopal flexible roofing for its practicality: tiles easily tolerate the frosts of the northern regions and the heat of the south, have high tear resistance and low windage. This means that wind and snowfall will not affect the tightness and appearance of the roof. Flexible roof perfectly keeps on slopes with a slope from 11 0 to 110 0 . And in combination with high efficiency and affordable price, ICOPAL flexible roof becomes the best option for private construction and cozy dachas.

Flexible tile ICOPAL - the choice of an economical owner

The basis for bituminous tiles is fiberglass - a durable and reliable inorganic material that is resistant to decay and organic damage. Mineral fiberglass is almost eternal: it is not afraid of any temperature changes or corrosion. The use of high-strength fiberglass gives the Icopal flexible roof resistance to mechanical damage - snow removal from the roof will not affect the performance of the tiles.

On both sides, the fiberglass is impregnated with SBS-modified bitumen. The polymers in the bituminous impregnation are responsible for plasticity and resistance to deformation. An important point - the same bitumen is used in all components for shingle installation. With the complex use of ICOPAL materials, you can not worry about the tightness of the roof for 40 - 50 years.

The upper, decorative layer of the tile is made of dust-free granules of slate or basalt. A wide range of shades and durability of mineral chips will allow you to decorate your home for many years. Vacation home, choose an architectural solution to match the building or the surrounding terrain, and resistance to ultraviolet radiation and precipitation will allow the roof to ideally maintain its appearance for several decades.

The bottom of the shingle is covered with an additional bituminous layer - it provides higher tightness, provides faster and stronger setting during installation.

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

Ikopal Plano (Finland)

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

Siplast Versit (France)

Spectacular and expressive series for connoisseurs of the classics. There are also several grades of powder in production: a coarse-grained colored crumb is applied to the upper side of the shingle, and a fine-grained granule is used on the bottom. A discontinuous strip of adhesive bitumen is located in the center of the outer side, the center of the inner side is equipped with a non-removable protective film strip.

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

Siplast Tuazit

The series is designed for installation on slopes with a slope of 16 0 . The double fiberglass backing provides higher mechanical strength. The series is also presented in several collections: Toazit Carré (a palette of five shades), Toazit Ekeil (two classic shades), Toazit Revive (presented in two strict "stone" colors).

ICOPAL soft roof installation technology

Flexible bituminous tiles are produced in the form of shaped modules of compact dimensions. They are laid in rows overlapping, creating a visual effect of real tiles. Private house, decorated with high-quality tiles, stands out from the neighbors.

Each package of Icopal shingles contains instruction by installation. However, a more rational solution would be to search for professional roofers - the craftsmen know all the subtleties of installing a flexible roof. Only with high-quality shingle installation can you 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 to even out the color gamut, since the smallest shades of mineral chips may vary slightly - it is not visible near this, but from a short distance the color transition will be striking.
• Do not lay the shingle during precipitation - rain or snowfall adversely affects the quality of bonding, leaks are possible in the future. It is also undesirable to carry out roofing work at sharply negative temperatures, since the adhesive properties of bitumen decrease in severe frost.
• Use reliable lining material on the entire roof area. Icopal carpet is perfect.
• Particular attention should be paid to difficult areas: junctions, valleys, etc.

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

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