Roof installers can help you install a cladding roof. Cladding is one of the most widely used roofing materials these days. It is a set of ribbed metal sheets that can cover the roof and facades. The installation of this material is, however, quite complex. In this article, you will learn the steps involved in the installation of a cladding roof. The three steps to install a cladding roof To install a cladding roof, you have to follow three steps. It is necessary to start by successively laying the secondary supporting frames, the cladding, and their fixings to finish with the connecting devices. It’s pretty simple to say, but it’s not that easy. Indeed, steel and aluminum are conductors, so an insulator must necessarily be placed under the wall. For the case of a galvanized steel cladding, a specific coating is required depending on the climatic conditions (sun, humidity, etc.). The installation must also be done away from the prevailing winds in the same direction as the flow of rainwater. Single or double skin cladding The installation is different if the cladding is single or double skin. For the first case, it is necessary to install the load-bearing framework, then the secondary framework before putting the exterior facings. For the second case, you have to fix the trays on the structural posts, insert the insulation and then install the intermediate rails as spacers and finish with the exterior facing. Installation of sandwich panel cladding The sandwich panels are installed with two facing sheets. An insulating foam is injected between each rib. Then side profiles are added to complete the set. This type of cladding is superimposed between the ribs to fit together. In the end, you have to lay the cladding feet, angles, and coverings.
