To determine the types of tiles can be a number of specific criteria.

• By the number of layers, one can distinguish two- and three-layer variants. The main difference is in another layer of the shingle, which has a not very significant displacement, due to which this coating becomes more relief and voluminous.
• By types of cutting canvases can be identified such forms as "dragon tooth", "brick", "beaver tail", "diamond", "hexagon", "rectangle" and others. Any manufacturer wants to translate the usual names of forms in unique, companies offer their fantasy names for all series of their own products. The same very often applies to the colors of the material itself.

Manufacturers offer consumers both single-color products and entire collections.where one color imperceptibly turns into another, this effect is obtained through the use of mineral chips. The most commonly used colors are blue and green, reddish brown. In addition, rich gray and golden tones are popular.A huge choice of colors, different texture solutions, stylish forms and subspecies - this is one of the most compelling reasons for the demand for such a product.

The tiled product is made of glass-fiberglass, which is impregnated with advanced bitumen and is coated on 2 sides with another special layer of the same bitumen. The top of the product is a layer of coarse-grained basalt, which provides a choice of different colors and protects the material from serious impacts and climatic influences. Most of the bottom surface of the tile is covered with a self-adhesive frost-resistant mass of bitumen and polymers, which is protected by a siliconized type film, it is easily removed if necessary.

The soft tile incorporates 3 components: fiberglass, basalt primer and refined bitumen. Fiberglass is the fixing basis. The excellent characteristics of the new roof will depend directly on the number and specificity of the interaction of all components.

Interestingly, the roofing material can be multi-layered (two-layer or three-layer), in many decisions this will affect the quality characteristics and the price of the product. For buyers of this kind, the solution will be not only ideal, but the only correct one, because sometimes you need to cover the roof as quickly as possible, and the amount on your hands is small. In the end, you can get a roof with a very catchy coating that mimics the natural tile of the best quality.

• Tile Shinglas is also such a popular series, as "Jazz". It consists of 2 layers of laminated product that can be used on any roofs. For laying this tile slope slope should be from 12 degrees.

• Laying tiles can be done even with a serious subzero temperature. If it falls below + 5 ° C, then it is best to move the boxes of products to heat and take only 2-3 packs at a time if necessary. This will prevent the material from freezing.
• A self-adhesive layer of tile before installation will need to be well warmed with a special hairdryer. The tile is neatly trimmed on a board that is placed on a hard surface so as not to damage the product and the roof itself.

• Installation of tiles Shinglas often made independently, without the involvement of specialists.Tiles need to be checked well at the stage of purchase. On the roof can be laid only those products that are marked with the same color code or produced on the same date. The fact is that the company warns about some gradation of colors in the same package. To completely avoid the run-up of colors on the roof, you need to mix together several drawers of tiles and choose piece goods for laying in random order.
• We should not forget that the bottom layer of the shingle is a self-adhesive surface, because it is better not to expose it to the sun during installation or transportation. According to the instruction manual, if the bitumen in the product is exposed to excessive heat, it is likely to quickly melt, bake well with a protective film, which obviously complicates the operation of the material or may make it unsuitable for use.

Also, packages with products should not be stacked one on another, both during storage and during installation. Before starting work, it is necessary to mark the surface of the roof using vertical lines, which are applied in direct proportion to the width of the plate used.

• Every 5 rows should be applied horizontal lines. The approximate distance between them will be 0.8 m. The fixing of the shingles to the base is carried out using a self-adhesive layer from below and special nails, they are an additional fixing element.

• The laying technique is the following - the initial strip is put first. It serves as a tile with completely cut out protruding edges or a special material for the eaves. Sometimes this plate is fixed on top of the eaves. Then the elements are simply nailed to the roof with special nails. The size of the indent with this solution may vary depending on the length of the slope or the angle of inclination.
• The calculation of the required number of tiles you can make using the online calculator on the official website of the company "Technonikol".
