What is a shingle roof?
Shingles are small strips of wood, asphalt, slate or composite material. They are installed on a flat, watertight surface to form the roof. They are fastened together with screws or nails.
Wooden shingles are the most popular. They have that warm, friendly feel that modern models lack. What’s more, they last up to 100 years if properly cared for. Choose cedar, pine or spruce, which age well. On the other hand, composite material is by far the most resistant. Slate and asphalt are ideal for sophisticated designs.
How do you install this coating?
Installing a shingle roof involves several steps:
- Preparation: installation of sheathing and waterproofing;
- Shingle installation ;
- Finishing: installation of flashings, ridges and edges;
- Final checks.
Professional installation is recommended. You need to master the techniques involved in installing shingles to avoid infiltration problems. Spacing, overlap area, fastening… There are many factors to consider. Not to mention the fact that this is potentially dangerous work at height, requiring appropriate safety equipment.
How do I maintain a shingle roof?
A shingle roof should be inspected every year. Every nook and cranny of the roof is carefully checked for damage. Depending on the condition of your roof, there are various actions to be taken: cleaning, repair or replacement.
It’s also important to clean the roof regularly. A jet of water is generally sufficient to remove dirt. You can also use a brush to remove stubborn debris.
In winter, don’t forget to clear the snow. Too much snow can cause water infiltration problems. What’s more, the roof may even sag or collapse. You can also install heating wires or cables to avoid this kind of problem. These devices will gradually melt the snow and ice. Finally, repair your roof as soon as a problem arises.
