If you plan to change the old roof roof to a soft roof, then a dropper that is mounted around the entire perimeter of the roof will be an important element for protecting the cornices from moisture. Thanks to moisture, wooden structures will be quickly prone to decay, and a dropper for a soft roof is a very reliable device from this.
Thanks to its bends, the dropper is attached to the edge of the roof, and directed vertically down. Thanks to this orientation, water enters the attached gutter, and evenly drains along the withdrawal plastic slopes. The protective function of the dropper is perhaps one of its most basic functions, but not the only. Thanks to him, the soft roof is attached more reliably and has an aesthetic appearance.
A galvanized steel dropper is made with a special anti -corrosion effect.
The advantage of the soft roof
Recently, the soft roof is increasingly used to change the previous roof, and this is determined by the significant advantages that it has, unlike other types of roofs:
Thanks to the monolithic layer, waterproofing at a high level is ensured;
In order to quickly put a soft roof, you need much less time, and there is no need to use a specialized tool;
Due to the fact that the soft roof is made of modern materials, such a roof is more resistant to temperature changes, direct sunlight;
Flexible price category;
Good sound insulation.
Installation of the dropper
The installation of the dropper is quite simple, and for this you will not need a special set of tools. For the base, the dropper is attached to the crate so that the lower edge is heading to the gutter. Between himself, he must be attached over so as not to miss a single unheard of the edge of the roof. To protect the edge of the crate, as a rule, frontal planes are installed. At the next stage, a soft coating is mounted, the edges of which are lubricated for better sapcinity with bitumen mastic. Cadet tiles are attached to the mounted dropper.
Next, an ordinary tile is laid, the petals of which should completely cover the cornice tiles. The remaining rows are staggered, and the edges of the tiles are also processed with bitumen mastic.
For reliability, the top of the tile is covered with a metal bar, and all the cracks are best processed with a sealant.
