When the rafter system is erected, and the roofing is securely fixed, the eaves of the roof eaves become an obligatory stage of work: the appearance of the house in the future will depend entirely on the material chosen and the way of execution. Also it is necessary to remember about the device of a water drain and ventilation, as their installation in many cases is combined with the given process. After the construction of the rafters, the projecting ends are cut off along one line (parallel to the wall). To some extent, the eaves device affects the overall design of the roof. External insulation of the building is carried out before finishing the overhangs, since in the absence of such in the future, serious heat losses are possible.
In addition to aesthetic characteristics, the filing of the roof cornice can provide additional heat and sound insulation, as well as high-quality protection against moisture (prevents water from falling into prolonged downpours). However, you need to decide on the material. Nowadays the assortment has significantly expanded, so making the choice became somewhat more difficult. Applied as usual planed boards, and more modern products like siding, corrugated board and soffits. Modern materials are more resistant to different weather conditions, in addition, the market offers a wide selection of textures and a large color variety.
An excellent option may be considered siding, especially if the structure protects the anduline roof. Its price is not so high, besides it is possible to achieve an effective combination of materials. Choosing the right material for finishing, you have to think about the option. There are two. In the first, the filing is carried out on rafters, that is, at the same angle without piling additional bars. However, this method was not widely used. Much more often used is the second option, implying the construction of a special frame for filing, so it is worth considering it.
First of all, the bars from the rafters to the wall are installed. For this, on the wall of the house additional boards are put in which the end of the bar will rest. The other edge is fixed directly to the rafters. At the corners, where two slopes meet, the board is installed flat to fix both ends. Thanks to such a device a rather rigid structure is formed. Fastening in this case is carried out by means of self-tapping screws or special metal plates.
After the carcass is made, the eaves of the roof eaves themselves. In the simplest case, it is executed from planed boards. In the attachment points, it is recommended to screw in two screws. This measure avoids twisting of wooden items during operation. By the length of the board it is desirable to join in a staggered manner, without making two joints side by side. At the last stage, the entire filing of the roof eaves is treated with a protective compound. If the lining is used as a lining, then a ventilation grill must also be made.
