Cedar shingle installation guide

With the improvement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, wood shingles are used to decorate roofs at home and abroad. Among them, Canadian red cedar shingles are the most popular among owners because of their unique advantages: stable material without deformation, natural corrosion resistance, and no need for industrial chemicals. The treatment can be applied to adverse weather effects such as dampness and dryness. To a certain extent, it can neutralize the humidity in the air and isolate the noise, which is beneficial to the environment and the human body.

The wood shingles are made of red cedar or red cedar wood, which can also be planed into a smooth surface and machined into small boards. Because it does not contain rosin and resin, red cedar can bond with various adhesives and provide a solid foundation for a variety of coatings and colorants.

The basic technical requirements for installation are as follows

First of all, it is recommended to use 40-50mm fine stone protection, with a 200x20mmΦ6 thick net in the layer, the thickness is not reliable C20, and the standard deviation of the protective layer is required to be greater than 20mm.

 

Along the water strip

The size of Pinus sylvestris treated with anti-corrosion and insect-proof treatment is 30x50mm. The distance between the downstream strips is not more than 500mm. Use L pieces of downstream strips to connect and fix with the protective layer, and the downstream strips are leveled.

 

 

(The specifications and models of the water strip are determined by factors such as the slope of the roof and the climate and wind pressure of the project location. The fixing method may also refer to the actual local climate)

 

Hanging tile board, waterproof, moisture-proof treatment

Mongolica 19 x 100mm is used for anti-corrosion and insect-proof treatment, and the spacing of the tiles depends on the length of the tiles. The water strip and the hanging tile are fixed by 4.2x50mm stainless steel screws. At least two screws should be used to fix the intersection of each water strip and the hanging strip.

First use high-quality tarpaulin and install it horizontally. The upper and lower overlaps are 80~100mm.

Use high-quality unknotted red cedar shingles. The shingle length is 455*147*16*2.5mm, and the top and bottom are staggered and overlapped. 3~5mm seam should be left between the shingles, and the upper and lower overlaps should be greater than 230mm.
