 To begin with, create a drawing of future styling and calculate the amount taking into account fit. Each sheet must be docked with closest at one point, and slightly cover each other over the entire length. The maximum length of one sheet of metal tiles consists of 450mm. One step is 6 Waves and 350mm. You can also order according to your size, but the cost will be much higher. Based on these data, we measure the size of the roof and divide the size of one sheet. As a result, we obtain the Suma of the required sheets, also for fitting and marriage you need to count and buy an additional amount.

 Installation rules

 You need to contact this type of material very carefully, to take only in special mittens and move for the edges of the stamping. If you allow damage to the surface, then after a while the sheet collapses. When installing on the roof, it does not go and not cling to the tool.

 What features fasteners

 We use self-tapping screws with a size of 4.8 - 28mm. We twist to the crate perpendicular to the crest of the wave of the upper sheet, but do not drag it hard, the leaf can crack. Chips necessarily remove with a soft brush. The crate is installed under the step of each sheet. Sheets must be attached to each other on the waves and rows on the crate board. The cornice should go 5 cm and is attached to a thick board, and the self-tapping screws should be installed by 6 - 7 cm above the stamping line through one wave. The topboard of the crate should be thicker at 1 - 2 cm from the rest.

 Roof setting

 A sheet on the previous one is superimposed on the finished crate from the right to the left. But if from left to right, then it is applied under the previous one. For a correct installation, one installation row is fixed by basic self-drawers, so that in case of an error, the sheets can be moved. If everything is in order, then fix it finally. So with the rest until the roof is completely coated.
