The Double Gable Roof: The Art of Durability and Unique Design

The false roof is considered the most reliable and durable. The specificity of its technology is in the use of folding seams. The resulting seams ensure tight connections, and the installation of the material is carried out using a special technology called hidden installation, where not a single screw or nail is visible on the roof. The professional performance of the roof with a double seam allows you to get a long-lasting and reliable roof of any level of complexity.

The double seam roof is distinguished by the possibility of using a variety of materials and design of the individual panels. The roof can be covered according to traditional technology - in rows running up to the eaves or with the use of different forms such as tiles, slates or tiles. For this purpose, different ways of mounting the panels are used, which not only provide high density, but also create an original design solution for the roof of your home. This type of roof allows you to build reliable roofs of any complex shape. In addition to residential buildings, seam roofing is also used to create spherical domes, which are usually used to cover churches, monasteries or gazebos.

Advantages of the double seam roof

Universality - it is suitable for objects of any purpose;

Absolute tightness of the seams and absence of punch holes through the surface of the metal sheets, thereby increasing the durability of the roof;

Long service life, reaching 50 years and more;

A light roof, which allows you to avoid expensive beam structures, also reduces the load on the foundation and supporting structure;

A large selection of material, shape, color and coating of the material;

Possibility of installation on roofs with any slope, the minimum of which is 3 percent;

A reliable and long-term solution for every region in Bulgaria, regardless of the climatic conditions;

Reasonable price and quality of the resulting product;

Reliability and guarantee of the material itself.

Disadvantages of the double hipped roof

The disadvantages of the seam roof are its complex design, which requires its installation by professional roof installers, since it is difficult to build such a roof on your own without the necessary special tools and without knowledge of the construction of such a roof and experience in its installation. Its disadvantages also include a tendency to thermal expansion and noise. Hiring professionals will allow you to avoid and reduce the noise from such a roof to a minimum. To do this, a special noise-absorbing membrane is installed on the shell. To eliminate bending due to thermal expansion, special fasteners for a false roof, called movable clips, are used.

Types of materials used in the construction of pitched roofs:

Steel;

Galvanized stainless steel;

Copper;

Aluminum;

Zinc and titanium;

Modern steel with polymer coating.

The thickness of the metal depends on its type. The steel sheets are 0.45mm/0.5mm/-0.6mm thick. The copper sheets are 0.6 mm thick. In the production process of the panels, sheets are cut lengthwise to specific dimensions, then covered with a protective layer and sent to a bending machine to form the top and bottom edges of the seams. The result of the production cycle is individual sheets with connecting locks on the edges. The surface of the individual sheets can be smooth, matte or the luxurious option - grande matte. In the composition of the polymer coating there are added particles that increase the resistance of the metal to ultraviolet radiation.

The most expensive is the roof filled with copper or zinc-titanium. The copper coating is distinguished by its high corrosion resistance, long service life and attractive appearance. The high plasticity of copper allows the creation of any type of complex roof structure. Zinc-titanium materials have the ability to recover. Small scratches on this type of pitched roof are quickly repaired. If installed correctly, such a roof will please its owners for a very long time.

In the middle price segment are the roofs made of aluminum and stainless steel. Aluminum coating has low weight, high plasticity and functionality. The only drawback of this roofing material is its low mechanical strength.

Budget options include steel and iron with galvanized or polymer coating. The service life of such a seam roof is 50 years and more, provided that the installation is carried out by professional roof installers.

Types of suture connections

Sheets of metal are divided according to the type of locking connection, which depends on the reliability and density of the created seam.

Click fold

Click seam is the simplest version of a seam roof, where the seam is factory prepared. Installation is quick and easy, the only tools you need are a screwdriver, metal scissors and flat pliers. From the disadvantages, we can note that this type of false roof requires a higher slope of 15 degrees and above.

Single fold

This type of f
