Profile zinc-coated sheets are covered with a primer and phosphate. Materials such as phosphorus and zinc perform a protective function, protecting the web from corrosion.

The lacquer is applied to the inner part, and the polymeric coating made of Pural and plastisol, matt polyester and PVDF provides an external attraction. These materials protect the fabric from the aggressive effects of the environment and various damages, increasing the strength of the roofing structure. The optimum thickness of the sheets is 0.5 mm. On sale, there are options thinner and thicker, but their use is undesirable. Thin sheets are worse in quality characteristics and strength, and thick products bear a serious load on the roofing structure.

According to the texture, the metal cascade "Cascade" is glossy and matte, metallic and has an embossing, which makes it possible to embody any design idea to the architect.

Used tools for installation work

Installation of metal tile "Cascade" is strictly forbidden to carry out with the help of a Bulgarian. Destructive polymer coatings, abrasive wheels can shorten the life of the roofing sheet due to the creation of favorable conditions for corrosion.

• electric or manual metal scissors,
• Jig saw with electric drive,
• Cutting shears,
• Saw-saw,

Mounting Features

The main condition for the tightness and durability of the roof is the correct installation of the roofing cloth. Economy is considered one of the main advantages of the material, so the metal tile "Cascade" reviews has only positive. Due to the small coefficient of overlap and light weight, the material is laid very easily.
At the design stage of the building it is advisable to consider the step of the roofing, which is provided for this roofing sheet: it should not exceed 900 mm, and also consider the width of the insulation mats.

Metal tile is used for roofing, the slope of which exceeds 14 degrees. The length of the sheet is chosen taking into account the length of the roof slope. And by measuring the length from the eaves to the ridge of the structure, it is necessary to allow 40-50 mm to have an eaves eaves, then the length of the ramp should be compared with the length of the chosen roofing cloth.

Sheets of metal tile are laid on the layer of waterproofing, which is laid on the insulation, and from the attic side installation of a vapor barrier layer is recommended. Between the waterproofing film and the roofing sheets there must be space for ventilation.

• increased resistance to environmental influences,
• rigid longitudinal and transverse profile,
• good adhesion density of the accompanying elements,
• the dimensions of the metal cascade "Cascade" allow to avoid a large number of seams, and the capillary groove at the joints ensures high tightness,
• anti-corrosion polymer coating,
• Simplicity and economical installation.
• high mounting and technical capabilities, perfectly implemented on the roofs of the most complex architectural forms,
• durability and strength,
• original elegant appearance,
• Wide color palette.

Tips and tricks for installation

1. Consumption of self-tapping screws per square meter is provided in 6-8 pieces per sheet.
2. Installation work should be carried out in comfortable shoes with a soft sole, should follow the deflections and gutters of the roofing sheet.
