Step-by-step guide "Installing a roof rafter system"

This step-by-step guide explains how to correctly install a roof truss (rafter) system, covering material calculation, tool preparation, mauerlat installation, precise alignment, and secure mounting of rafters to ensure a strong, stable, and long-lasting roof structure that meets safety and building standards.

Checklist "Installation of roofing"

This checklist guides you through the complete installation of a roofing system: inspecting and preparing the rafter structure, selecting and organizing materials and tools, laying roofing sheets or tiles from the eaves upward with proper overlaps, securely fixing them with the correct fasteners, and finishing the roof with ridge elements and edge trims to ensure waterproofing, wind resistance, and long-term durability.

Step-by-step guide "Roof insulation and vapor barrier device"

This step-by-step guide explains how to insulate a roof and install vapor barriers by choosing suitable insulation and membrane materials, fastening the vapor-control layers with proper overlaps and sealed joints, fitting insulation tightly between rafters without gaps, and adding final sealing to prevent moisture, condensation, mold, and heat loss for a durable, energy-efficient roof.

Checklist "Checking the drainage system for tightness and efficiency"

This checklist explains how to inspect gutter systems for leaks, proper slope, and overall performance to ensure efficient water drainage and prevent moisture-related damage to the building.

Checklist "Purchase of necessary materials for roof installation"

This checklist helps organize and verify the purchase of all essential roofing materials—including structural elements, roofing cover, insulation, waterproofing, and fasteners—to ensure durability, compliance with standards, and a smooth installation process.

"Installation of horizontal slats (crates) on the rafters"

This step-by-step checklist explains how to select materials and tools, install roof battens evenly from the eaves upward, and verify alignment with a level to create a strong, accurate base for the roofing cover.

Infographic "Control of the distance between slats depending on the type of roof"

This infographic shows the recommended spacing between roof battens for different roofing types, helping ensure proper installation, structural reliability, and long-term durability of the roof.

"Installation of vertical rails (counter-gratings)"

This guide explains how to install vertical counter-battens step by step to create a proper ventilation gap between the roofing layers, preventing moisture buildup and ensuring long-term durability and thermal performance of the roof.

"Providing ventilation of the under-roof space"

This checklist explains how to ensure proper roof space ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, reduce condensation, and extend the lifespan of roofing materials through effective airflow management.
