Udinga umsebenzi othile wokuphucula ikhaya ohlala iminyaka emininzi. Mhlawumbi eyona inkulu ithatha indawo yophahla-lo ngumsebenzi onzima, ke kuya kufuneka uqiniseke ukuba uwenza kakuhle.
Jack of Heritage Home Hardware uthe inyathelo lokuqala kukusombulula ezinye iingxaki ezibalulekileyo. Okokuqala, luhlobo luni lophahla olufanelekileyo kwinkangeleko kunye nesitayela sendlu yakho? Xa ucinga ngemozulu ohlala kuyo, sisiphi isixhobo esiyeyona sifanelekileyo ukusisebenzisa? Iindleko ziluchaphazela njani ukhetho lwakho?
Izinto ezimbini eziqhelekileyo ezisetyenziswayo zokuphahla ziyi-asphalt / fiberglass kunye nentsimbi. Ngamnye uneempawu ezahlukeneyo, njengoko kuboniswe ngezantsi.
Ezi zezona shingles zidumileyo kwiiprojekthi zokuphahla, kwaye zikwayezona zifikelelekayo. Kwakhona kulula ukuzifumana. Ukuba unamava ngeeprojekthi ze-DIY, zinokufakwa ngokulula. Olu hlobo lweshingle lunombindi weglasi eyenziwe ngumntu odityaniswe phakathi kweeleya ezimbini ze-asphalt.
I-asphalt veneer yomelele kwaye kulula ukuyigcina kunye nokulungiswa. Zikwakhanya kakhulu. Zihlanganiswe ngamaqhekeza e-ceramic yokukhusela i-UV kwaye zikhetho lwephahla lwezoqoqosho ngokwezinto eziphathekayo kunye nokufakwa. Baziwa ngokunika uphahla lwakho olugqityiweyo imbonakalo yokwakheka, kwaye unokuzifumana ngemibala eyahlukeneyo kunye nezimbo.
Isitayela esixhaphakileyo-kunye neyona nto ifikelelekayo-ziziqwenga ezintathu ze-asphalt shingles ezenziwe kwinqanaba elinye elincinci. Kwiishingles ezityebileyo nangaphezulu, jonga iinguqulelo ezenziwe ngelaminated okanye zezakhiwo. Zisenokufana kakhulu nomthi okanye isileyiti.
Iithayile zetsimbi okanye iipaneli ziyaziwa ngamandla abo. Nangona zomelele, zikwalula kakhulu, zomelele kwaye zifuna ukulungiswa okuncinci. Ziyakwazi ukumelana nomlilo, izinambuzane, ukubola kunye nokungunda, kwaye zilungele iimeko zemozulu zasebusika kuba ziqhelene nokuhamba kwamanzi kunye nekhephu.
Iintlobo zophahla zentsimbi ezidumileyo ziyintsimbi kunye ne-aluminium. Awonga amandla kuba abonakalisa ubushushu; ukuzithenga kusenokukwenza ukufanelekele ukufumana iikhredithi zerhafu. Ekubeni uphahla lwentsimbi luqulethe izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo, ziyindlela yokusingqongileyo. Imbonakalo icocekile kwaye yangoku. Uphahla lwentsimbi lunokulinganisa ukuthungwa komthi, udongwe, i-slate, njl njl njenge-chameleon.
UJack ucebise ukuba ithambeka lophahla (ekwabizwa ngokuba lithambeka) kufuneka liqwalaselwe. Ukunyuka kophahla kuchaphazela iindleko zeprojekthi kunye nohlobo lwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo. Ukuba uphahla lwakho luphantsi okanye luthe tyaba, kufuneka ubeke imathiriyeli engenamthungo phezu kwalo ukuthintela ukuqokeleleka kwamanzi kwaye kubangele ukuvuza.
Kakade ke, kufuneka kwakhona izixhobo ukufaka uphahla olutsha. Abanye baya kunceda ukulungiselela, abanye baya kunceda ukuzifakela.
Ezi zinokukunceda ukususa ii-shingles ezikhoyo kunye nezikhonkwane ngokulula nangempumelelo ngaphandle kokonakalisa uphahla.
Lo ngumqobo wemozulu ongenamanzi okanye ongenamanzi ofakwe ngokuthe ngqo kwidekhi yophahla. Inokudlala indima ekuthinteleni umkhenkce namanzi. Ikhaphukhaphu kunokuba ivakale, ngoko ubunzima bophahla olongezelelweyo bulula. Ikwane-anti-terry, anti-wrinkles kunye ne-anti-fungal properties.
Le yimpahla endala esetyenziselwa i-roof liners. Ayinamanzi, kodwa ayinamanzi. Kulula ukuyifaka, indleko ephantsi, kwaye ifumaneka kubukhulu obubini (iiponti ezili-15 kunye neeponti ezingama-30). Kodwa qaphela ukuba ekuhambeni kwexesha, iikhompawundi eziguquguqukayo ziya kutshabalala kwaye ziya kufunxa amanzi amaninzi kwaye zibe buthathaka.
Ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo lwephahla onalo, izikhonkwane zephahla ziza ngobukhulu obuhlukeneyo kunye nezixhobo ezahlukeneyo. Izikhonkwane ezichanekileyo zifunekayo ukufaka i-shingles, ukulungisa i-gasket kwaye ufake ibhodi yokungena kwamanzi ophahleni.
Iziphelo ezidanyazayo kunye nezithontsiyo ziipleyiti zetsimbi, ezinokutsala amanzi kunye nokwandisa ubomi benkonzo yophahla. Ibalulekile kwiindawo ezithile, ezinje ngeentunjana neetshimini. I-drip seal ikhokelela amanzi ukusuka kwi-fascia ukuya kwi-gutter; kukwanceda ukwenza uphahla lwakho lubukeke lugqibelele.
UJack ucebisa ukuba uqiniseke ukuba uqikelele ukuba yimalini oyidingayo ngaphambi kokuthenga naziphi na izinto zokuphahla. Izinto zokuphahla zivame ukuthengiswa "kwizikwere", ngokumalunga nophahla, i-100 square feet = 1 imitha yesikwere. Ukulinganisa nje uphahla kwiinyawo zesikwere kwaye uvumele abasebenzi bevenkile ukuba babalele. I-bundle eqhelekileyo yeeshingles igubungela i-32 yeenyawo ze-square, elingana neqhekeza le-roof cladding (plywood). Ucebise ukuba ukongeza i-10-15% yezixhobo ezongezelelweyo kwakhona ngumbono olungileyo, nje inkunkuma.
Ukuze utshintshe uphahla ngaphandle kweengxaki, kufuneka kwakhona ezinye izesekeli. Ungavumeli ezi zinto zibe ngaphaya kohlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwakho.
Kufuneka ufakele iigutter emphethweni wophahla ukuze uqokelele amanzi emvula. Zibalulekile kuba zinceda ukukhusela iindonga zakho kwisikhunta kunye nokubola.
Iiveranda zophahla zenza imisebenzi emininzi ebalulekileyo. Banceda ukukhupha umoya kwi-attic, enceda ukulawula ubushushu kwikhaya lonke. Bangakwazi nokulawula ukujiya, okunceda ukwandisa ubomi beeshingles.
I-Sealant yenye into ebalulekileyo. Zingumqobo obalulekileyo wokukhusela ukwandisa ubomi benkonzo yophahla.
Ukufaka iintambo zokufudumeza kunceda ukukhusela ikhephu kunye ne-icing phezu kophahla. Bafudumeza uphahla ukuze banyibilikise ikhephu kunye nomkhenkce, onokuthi ngenye indlela ubenzima kakhulu kwaye ubangele umonakalo okanye ukuwa kwaye ubangele ukwenzakala.
Kunokwenzeka ngokupheleleyo ukuba uphahla lwakho lukwimeko entle iyonke, kwaye intwana encinci ye-TLC iyafuneka. Khumbula, ungasebenzisa imathiriyeli kunye nezincedisi ezidweliswe ngasentla ukwenza ulungiso olungephi eluphahleni okanye endaweni yamalungu ngamanye.
Ingcebiso yokugqibela kaJack: Ukulungisa okanye ukutshintsha uphahla kufuna ukujongana nezinto ezininzi ezirhabaxa. Qinisekisa ukuba unxibe iiglavu zokhuseleko kunye neeglasi zokhuseleko ngamaxesha onke ngexesha lenkqubo yonke.
Logama nje unalo lonke ulwazi oluchanekileyo, izixhobo, kunye nezixhobo, unokusingatha iiprojekthi ezinkulu ezifana nokutshintshwa kophahla kunye nokuzilungisa ngokwakho. Enkosi kwiimveliso ezahlukeneyo zophahla ezibonelelwa yiHeritage Home Hardware, akukho sizathu sokuba ungenakwenza i-DIY uphahla olunesitayile nolusebenzayo oluya kuhlala iminyaka eliqela.
