Let's first consider what the roof consists of. It is important to understand that the roof is a complex enough structure, therefore, if you do not follow the recommendations for mounting, there can be trouble with the climate in the house:

- Incorrectly woven insulation can create a "greenhouse effect", as a result of which the house will be cold, and in the attic - heat.

- Poorly attached metal tiles can cause the material sheets to fall when there is a strong wind or a lot of snow in the winter.

- The violations made during the fixing of the metal tile and the absence of an external waterproofing layer of the material can lead to the leakage of the roof.

- The inner layer of waterproofing contributes to the quality protection of the insulation from condensation. If you save and do not put the material, over time, glass wool will pick up moisture and stop protecting from the cold.

These and many other nuances are important to know in order to make the house warm.
