Metal tile M 28 Unikma: some installation tips
A roof of such a metal tile can have a slope of about 15%. Before buying a roofing material, it is necessary to measure the roof very carefully in order to know what size sheets to buy.
During the measurement, it must be taken into account that the sheet should protrude no more than 40 mm. Otherwise, during strong winds, the metal tile millet is deformed.
Before proceeding with the installation of the Unikma metal tile itself, you need to make a crate. It is performed from boards, which should be pre-saturated with an antiseptic coating.
Depending on the project of the task, experts determine the step of the crate themselves. The metal tile does not have any specific requirements for this parameter.
The lath during further laying of the metal tile is mounted only on top of the waterproofing layer. He, in turn, should lie freely on the rafters. Only in this way can the necessary ventilation be ensured.
You need to fix M 28 using self-tapping screws with washers. For an aesthetic appearance, they must have the same color as the roof itself. Each square meter of metal requires fastening with seven self-tapping screws.

Between the sheets of metal tile overlap should be equal to approximately 200 mm, but not more. Once the installation of the roof is completed, you can put a decorative strip, which will improve the appearance of the roof.

Installation of sheets is carried out in an overlap, which should be exactly half the wave.
If the roof of the house has a gentle slope, i.e. its slope is less than 10%, professionals advise increasing the size of the overlap to 1 wave.
Unikma corrugated board is fastened with self-tapping screws. They are screwed only between the waves. This is necessary for a more attractive, aesthetic appearance of the roof as a whole at the end of the work. It is best to use 6 screws for each square meter of roofing sheeting.
