Tips H + H: how to choose the right roof for a house from aerated concrete

In this article we will tell you how to choose the right roof for your home. As they say in the company H + H (HH plus HH), which has been producing autoclaved aerated concrete at a plant in the Leningrad Region for almost 10 years, the bearing capacity of blocks from autoclaved aerated concrete makes it possible to implement various roofing projects using any roofing material. By the way, the roof may well be exploitable: it will be possible to place a "garden" on it or equip a place to rest - aerated concrete can withstand everything.

Of course, accuracy of calculations is important, therefore it is worth involving specialists in this process. But if you are building a house on your own, it is worth paying attention to a number of important points when installing a roof on a house from aerated concrete blocks. To begin with, as emphasized in H + H, you need to familiarize yourself with the recommended solutions of the manufacturers of building materials themselves. As a rule, such information is collected in special directories. The company H + H, such a selection is called the Album of technical solutions. It is freely available on the manufacturer’s website: the Album has a section about roofing. Information is presented in more than detail.

What should be provided for when roofing? Firstly, drainage. It can be drainpipes or drainage trays. Secondly, it is worth taking care of the roof insulation. As practice shows, for pitched roofs, heaters based on mineral wool 200 mm thick are best suited, for flat roofs it is necessary to select the thickness of the insulation, taking into account the thickness of the coating plate.

In any case, as advised in H + H, the installation of the roof should be completed before the arrival of autumn weather. Such prudence will ensure the proper working condition of building structures and eliminate unnecessary expenses for the forced repair of building elements of your home. If finances allow, it is worth considering installing heating or ventilation systems. In this case, it will be possible to start internal roughing work - plastering, filling walls and filling floors in winter. But it is better to abstain from decorating the house in the cold season, say H + H.
