Good everywhere: corrugated board on the pediment

The pediment, finished with corrugated board, is considered a win-win option, because it won the sympathy of the builders both for its functions and aesthetic appearance. Profiled sheet has a reputation as a versatile material, as it is suitable for covering surfaces of all sizes and shapes.

Gable device made of corrugated board

The decoration of the pediment is not just a fastening of the cladding material, but the device of the "cake" in several layers. It includes the following construction materials:

• vapor barrier film, which acts as a layer that protects the "cake" from vapors rising above the ceiling of the house;
• thermal insulation layer, for example, basalt mineral wool;
• waterproof canvas (or liquid waterproofing product), which is charged with protecting the insulation from rain and melt water;
• sheathing material, that is, a profiled sheet, which avoids damage to the "cake" due to mechanical stress.

1 - wall base, 2 - vapor barrier, 3 - insulation, 4 - lathing, 5 - waterproofing, 6 - cladding material

The frame for fixing the layers of the "cake" is constructed in two ways: with the help of special additional elements or by means of simple wooden bars, on which the sheets are attached, making overlaps.

The lathing on the pediment is created from bars stacked vertically

On the crate of the pediment, the corrugated board can be laid both horizontally and vertically. But the more popular is the vertical installation method, which contributes to the tight connection of profiled sheets.

Vertical installation of corrugated board involves the imposition of one wave on another

The horizontal installation of corrugated board is most often abandoned, taking it for a complex process.

The corrugated board can be mounted horizontally both on the wall and on the pediment

Here, for the pediment, corrugated board of a neutral color was used

For the pediment, you can also use white corrugated board

Material for the gable made of profiled sheets

It is necessary to prepare for sheathing the gable with corrugated board: find construction materials and tools, and also find out how much finishing material is required.

List of materials and tools

When building a pediment made of corrugated board, in addition to roofing sheathing material, you will need such construction raw materials and tools as:

• slats made of wood 1-2 cm thick (1 piece for every 40-100 cm of pediment);
• bars made of wood with a section of 50 × 50 mm (1 piece for every 40–100 cm of the pediment);
• antiseptic;
• roofing screws (4–8 per 1 m²);
• screws;

• dowels;

  

  Dowels will be needed to attach wooden slats to the wall base

• building level;
• yardstick;
• long metal ruler;
• marker;
• hacksaw for cutting metal (or jigsaw);
• Bulgarian;

• puncher (for drilling holes in the wall);

  

  In a puncher, the need will arise if necessary to drill holes in the wall

• drill;
• screwdriver.

Calculation of corrugated board

The formula for calculating the amount of corrugated board that will be needed for sheathing the pediment depends on the shape of the end area of the roof.

If it is triangular, then to determine the volume of the material, first use the formula S = h * 0.5 * z. S is the area, h is the height, and z is the length of the pediment base. Having learned the area of the end area of the roof, the area of one profiled sheet is found, for which its width is multiplied by its length. The next action that allows you to calculate the amount of material is dividing the area of the pediment by the area of one profiled sheet.

To find the area of a triangular pediment, half of its width (base) must be multiplied by the height

Suppose that for the calculation there is the following data: the height of the triangular pediment is 5 m, its base is 12 m, the width of the profiled sheet is 1.25 m, and its length is 3 m. It turns out that the area of the end area of the roof is 30 m2 (5 * 0, 5 * 12 = 30 m²), and profiled sheet - 3.75 m². From this it follows that for sheathing the pediment, you will need to buy at least 8 sheets of material (30 m² / 3.75 m² = 8 pcs.).

When the end zone of the roof looks like a trapezoid, to calculate the amount of corrugated board, the first thing to do is use the formula S = (z + a) / 2 * h, where z and a are the parameters of the base, and h is the height of the pediment. Having determined what is the area of the roofing area from the end of the building, calculate the area of one profiled sheet, and then find the amount of corrugated board, as in the case of a triangular pediment.

To find out the area of a pediment of a complex shape, you need to add up the areas of all figures into which the pediment can be conditionally "divided"

If the pediment is made in a complex geometric shape, then to calculate its area, and then the amount of corrugated boarding, the end area of the roof will have to be conditionally divided into simple figures (triangles and rectangles).

Making a gable from corrugated board

Installation of corrugated board on the pediment begins with the preparation of the base, that is, with waterproofing work and the creation of a frame.

Surface preparation for corrugated board

The base for laying profiled sheets must become a solid supporting structure. To do this, it must be removed from depressions and bumps, damp areas and crumbling zones.

Therefore, the preparation of the gable for the installation of profiled sheets is the following step-by-step process:

1. A layer of old putty or plaster is removed from the wall base. The freed up space is provided with a fresh leveling compound applied over the mesh.

2. The dried surface is covered with a waterproof material or treated with a waterproofing compound. As the latter, a mastic or sealant is used that can repel moisture. The product is smeared on the wall base using a brush or roller. With special care, the composition is applied on the borders of the pediment and in the places where the wall joins the window and the roof. When using waterproof material in the places where the pediment adjoins the roof slopes and the wall of the house, 10-15 cm outlets are made.

   

   The waterproofing sheet is mounted so that it extends slightly beyond the gable

3. After waiting for the waterproofing agent to dry, small gaskets are created from wooden slats, fixed on the pediment by means of dowels. Frame bars for corrugated board are attached to the slats with screws. The first wooden elements treated with an antiseptic are fixed along the edges of the pediment. Following them, the rest of the bars are attached to the wall base every 40-100 cm. They must be parallel to each other, which must be checked with a building level and a ruler.

   

   The sheathing for corrugated board can be formed by wooden bars or metal profiles, but the latter option is rarely used

4. Layers of foam or mineral wool are tightly placed in the resulting mounting nests. They do not proceed to the next stage until the entire surface of the base is insulated under the corrugated board.

   

   The insulation is placed in the cells of the gable crate

Sheathing of the pediment with corrugated board

Here the work goes through the following stages:

1. On the ground, the metal sheets of the pediment sheathing are cut out, after which they are raised to the roof and fixed on the lathing bars.

   

   The corrugated board is carefully cut into the required lengths using a grinder

2. The first metal profile is fixed in the left corner of the pediment, and the last one in the right. A small gap (5 mm) must be left between the outer sheets and the wall. It will serve as a place for fixing the metal corner, which belongs to the side fragments. The sheets are vertically mounted on the pediment, creating overlaps of 15 cm.
3. With a screwdriver, self-tapping screws are immersed in the material every 25-30 cm only after the drill has made holes with a diameter of 3.5 mm in the sheet. The place of fastening of the screws should be the lower part of the wave.

4. Facing corners are installed along the perimeter of the pediment. Self-tapping screws are used for fixing. On the inner side of the pediment, the connection of the corners to the wall is reinforced with foam. An ebb is mounted at the base.

   

   As an ebb for the pediment, you can use the same corrugated board or a special metal corner

Reviews

The cladding of the gables of the house is the final stage of construction, which determines whether the building will have a presentable appearance. If corrugated board is used as a covering for the end area of the roof, then the house will receive both reliable protection from precipitation and an aesthetic appearance.
