When the house was inhabited

Cases which occurred on the roof of your house which is inhabited by a leak. For that meditation should immediately if there is leakage. stored water will accelerates the weathering of wood. Steps taken to deal with leaks is to find the cause of the leak. Some of the causes that can creates leaks are as follow:

a. Closing the roof is less good. Al this can happens because the cover material such as poor quality or less precision, so installation is less tidy. Can also occur due to seepage from the roof cover. For the election of a high quality roof cover should take precedence.

b. The slope of the roof is too sloped so water does not flow fast flowing and there was a puddle. Recommended for roof sloped at least 30 degrees while the asbestos 10 to 15

c. The meeting between the tile and Rooftop often have cracked or broken. Normally the materials used to cover the top of the roof tile mortar which is then given nok. Connections between nok often separate or crack. This also happens in other connections. A simple step is the connection Waterproofing previously been given a fiber base.

d. Of guttering usually come many cases, depending on the size and materials used are as follow:

1. Small gutter that can not accommodate the bulk of rain water.
2. The slope of the gutter so that water flows less smoothly.
3. When using zinc guttering, leaks can occur in zinc-hole or a connection between the gutters and drainage
4. When using concrete gutters, leaks occur because of cracks in the concrete so that the hair is in Waterproofing.

Besides a few things about these treatments, the presence of termites in the roof should always be wary of. For routine maintenance was performed on a regular basis between two to four years for termite attack can be prevented. When termites have invaded the roof is the safest step is to replace the roof truss.

Roofing treatment when installation

Roofing treatment when installation is important factors that affect the integrity and durability of a house located on the roof of the residence located on the roof of the house. If there is damage to the roof of the house then the damage will spread to other parts of the building. For example, if there is a leak in the roof of another building section below it will receive the effects. The roof frame made of wood, for example, will rapidly decay if frequently exposed to water seeping through the field leaking roof. This decay occurs because the roof has become moist due to water. Even the ceiling will be damaged and appear with the ceiling that is not beautiful anymore because of the stain areas such as water droplets. Paint ceilings and walls may be dirty or even peeled off due to water seeping from the roof. In addition, termites will be easy to attack because of damp conditions. Yet termite attack is very dangerous.
Roof truss being attacked by termites will have porous. Even termites will continue to attack the frame house to the household furniture made of wood.

Roof treatment is not done after the house is complete, but should be started in the roof is done or installed. At the time of installation of the roof, things to note are as follow:

a. Splicing materials must be in accordance with predetermined criteria.
b. Installation must be careful. Installation is not careful pairing often occurs in the bunch, namely the inner bend connection. Eaves trough the size and lack of appropriate size causes batten installation would be less tidy and less flat so that the installation of tiled poorly or not the meeting.
c. Election materials must consider the durability of these materials, especially the attack of termites.
d. Termite prevention needs to be done in the following way:
1. Use of serum anti-termite. Serum was sprayed on the foundation hole and area floor coverings.
2. Wood materials for the roof and sills, windows, and doors should be given anti-termite liquid. Dyed by gift. Workmanship of the most inexpensive and simplest is to use the residue.

Form

Based on the forms of nature, roof divided into three types, namely saddle-roof, roof shield and cone-shaped roof. However, as many modifications of the slope and shape of its birth then models such as the current roof, for example, the model fusion between the roof and saddle shield.

1. Saddle roof.
Roof saddle roof is the simplest Triangular shape with the peak located in the middle. Water removed to the front and back or right and the left side. Roof model has a small risk of leakage because most do not have the sequence and the meeting so that the peak or the connection process is faster and also more material needs. However, unfortunately, appearance beauty still less than the other roof.

2. Roof shield.
Roof forms such as the shield has a shield that requires more material structure during installation, the wood, tile, and the rooftop. This is because the roof has a bunch more. Risk of leakage of this model is quite large because of the connection row. Generally, leakage occurred at the peak connection. However, in terms of beauty, the roof of this type is still better than the saddle roof.

3. Cone roof.
Cone-shaped roof is also called the roof because the pyramid has a pyramid likes shape. Slope of the roof is very high, namely above 30 degrees. Materials cover the roof structure and required quite a lot. The process more complicated and long. However, the beauty of the roof is better than other models roof. However, the roof is quite difficult or risky in terms of the need to care so carefully. This is because the roof has a high slope.

4. Fusion model.
In general, the roof of the house model is now a mix of the three models are the roof. For example, to use the main building roof or cone-shaped shield and the roof terrace saddle. This is because apart from better terms of beauty, but also form the basic building underneath is not possible using only one model only. However, in terms of the installation work longs enough. Materials used for the roof of the model is more extravagant.

Shingle

Shingle material is a cover of wood boards measuring 60 cm x 70 cm with 1 mm thickness. Type of wood that is often used to shingle is ironwood and wood purchase.

Benefits of the shingle as a roofing material cover, among other



1. Absorption heat more slowly because made of wood so that colder room.
2. Durable because the quality of ironwood can reach tens and even hundreds of years. .

While the lack of shingle is increasingly rare and difficult to search or found in the market. Even if the price is quite expensive.

Wood shingle is a material for the most elegant roof with a variety of choices and design. The drawback is its quality can deteriorates if the result of termite action and the sun. As for the installation of the roof is quite easy.

Several types of wood used for overhead costs are usually used for air circulation and also other types of expensive wood, if its intricate design you should hire a professional.

Wood materials for the roof type is derived from pine wood, wood deck, depending on how much money you spend on it, usually people choose pine. Oakwood is the type of wood is quite expensive but has the durability is better than wood or pine wood porch, another types of wood is plywood.

If you are using wood as a material for the roof shingle will provides natural shades in your home. To avoid termites you can paint with anti-termite paint with color to your liking. Wood gives a very strong roof and sturdy. You also can build a cover or partially cover is placed on your porch.

The weakness of wood is susceptible to various elements such as wind and solar so that the wood takes care of the other roof types.
Maintenance includes repair and finishing, let alone you live in an area filled with termites.

Other material for shingle currently is a composite shingle roof and very durable. This type of shingle will have the resilience of the older such as wood. This type of roof has a stunning appearance. This composite shingle preferred choice around the world.

Type of this roof is not affected climate change. With modern techniques manufacture roof type has benefits and design a more interesting with other types of roof.

Light steel structure

The framework of light steel structure is a lightweight steel frame arrangement of the stem of a manufacturing system with assembly and calculations using the assistance of computer software. Materials used are high quality steel that is thin and lightweight. To prevent the occurrence of corrosion, the material is given galvanize or galvalum layer (layer of aluminum and zinc).
Elements of the roof structure is light steel trestle,row, and in the screw. Distance of light steel trestle, depending on the weight of the roof cover. The weight of the roof covering the distance of meeting its light steel trestle. For example by using the cover concrete tile roof, the distance between the light steel trestle can reach 1.4 m. Material thickness for light steel trestle ranged from 0.75 to 1 mm, while the thickness between 0.4 - 0.7 mm

The advantages of light steel roof structure, including:
a. Its light weight compared with the structure of the wood so that the burden should be borne by the structure under roof more.
b. Anti termite.
c. Fire-resistant.
d. It is not expand and shrink.
e. Installation faster than with wood because it is a structure of a series.

While the lack of light steel roof structure is, among others;
a. Need cover because underneath ceiling light steel structure cannot be in Expose. b. The form of the roof does not flexible like wood that is easily cut and formed.
c. Calculation of the structure must be appropriate and requires the careful supervision at the time of the error because a part of the structure will damage the other.

With the more expensive and difficult to get quality wood then use the framework of light steel roof is to be the right alternative. This is because the cost incurred for the roof structure is almost equivalent to the type of wood, depending on the model of the roof and the roof cover will be used. The more complex model of the roof and the weight of the roof will cover the greater costs.

The supporting structure of the power structure of the roof

To design the roof is strong and quality, the roof structure must also be strong and durable without forgetting factor climate. The factors that support the strength of the roof structure is:

1. Material. Type of material that will be used for the roof structure is strong need to have strong, durable, lightweight and precise. Said the roof is able to hold strong when the size of the burden of work on the structure of the roof. There are three types of burden of work on the roof that is:
a. Burden that the burden of covering the roof structure and roof cover.
b. Wind load.
c. Materials include moving the burden of workers at the installation and maintenance of the roof.

2. Form of roof

Factors that determine the selection in the form of a dwelling house roof is rain, heat and wind. The form of the roof must be able to hold rain water downpours, hot sun and keep a strong wind encouragement. Among the three factors, the wind factor has a very big risk. When the blast occurred gale, the cover can only fly to the roof frame and roof can be picked up. Said the roof when the wind is able to hold the same from all directions. However, there are factors that affect the very strong pressure not to air, the altitude and slope roof buildings. the higher a building the more powerful the wind pressure on the building. So also with the roof slope, the greater its slope of the strong wind pressure. Ideal slope of a roof is 30 degrees.

3. The process of localization.
Processing through the roof must be considered and the requirements determined in accordance with the characteristics of the materials to be used. Characteristics include exposition and making the connection.
Exposition is set in the selection of roofing materials. The size and type of roofing material used must match the size of a roof expanse. The long expanse of the roof the size of the required materials. For exposition long exposition usual steel roof structure.
How to make the connection determine the strength of the roof structure. Note continuation to its continuation at the time of making the structure of wood is usually more., Especially for a long exposition. This is because the length of wood is limited, so need continuation. Continuation of wood can be a way in the nails, the bolt, or plate. Continuation should apply this technique in the right continuation.

Hystory of roof

Basically, the roof consists of two parts, namely the structure of the roof and cover the roof. Days of old, which is often used as the roof structure is wood and bamboo with a roof cover and foliage tile.
The framework of bamboo roof frame is the simplest of wood. Order to cover the wooden roof of tile. But there were also some buildings that frame the roof using a combination of wood and bamboo. Use of the framework of the roof is a combination of efforts to further economic and efficient.

Along with time, developing technology, including technology architecture. The development of the field of architecture, especially the structure of the roof, this happens not only because of the development of technology, also because of increasingly scarce and expensive raw materials for the roof structure. Technology show the roof structure of steel frame and lightweight steel roof with a cover a wide range of land glazing tile, concrete tile, ceramic tile, asbestos various models, and the steel plate. Even have a house or a building roof using concrete dock.
