      We had the same concerns with our patio roof because not enough slope for the concrete tile. What we did was to put metal sheets under the concrete tile roof in case it leaked as in your case. We have had several large rains and so far so good.

    • @craigdawson7632
      @craigdawson7632 Před 8 dny

      Not ideal at all. The builders should of known this. You could skin the builders to cover the leaks, like bear rugs on the roof.
      It would of saved on the cost of the tin.
      Sounded like the tin was under $450 NZD made up and delivered with most of the flashings, in record time not to bad at all.
      Aerated concrete is light and very good for sound proofing, we use it for fences, cladding and between floors.
      It would be a backwards way of doing it but I wonder if they have a super duper two pot coating that you can spray on the tiles.
      Of course nothings a prob, your a cash cow and it's charge up. They get fed, drinks, new radio. They'd move the desk 10 times, just might take longer if they get sick of it.

      Hey mate, i am an Aussie carpenter we use that steel roofing a lot , blue scope is an Aussie brand.
      Next time leave out the tiles, get an insulation blanket before tin goes down and you won’t be bothered by heat or noise, it comes in rolls and is cheap and very effective.

  • @vannkopp286
    @vannkopp286 Před 8 dny +7

    I live in Scandinavia, and most people use concrete or clay tiles. But we always have to use two roofs, because concrete or clay tiles isnt a perfect roof. Concrete isnt waterproof, and clay tiles tend to warp with time. When it storms, or when ice and snow accumulates on the roof, water will penetrate the tiles where they overlap. Underneath the tiles, there is an asphalt membrane to catch water and condensation. This secondary asphalt roof limits the technical life of a roof, as the asphalt will start evaporating and crack after about 40-50 years here in the cold north. You also need a lot more overlap on the tiles when the roof is relatively flat, compared to a steep roof. 12-15 degrees roof pitch is the abosolute minimum on tiles in my climate. Love your housebuilding videos, and even if things like this happens, building and maintaining a hose is a never ending project that is very satisfying. Thank you for the entertainment.

    • @lifeinruralthailand
      @lifeinruralthailand  Před 8 dny +1

      It’s funny because we checked with ChatGPT before and this was our answer
      The minimum angle for tiling a roof typically depends on the type of roofing
      1. **Asphalt Shingles**: Generally, the minimum slope is 2:12 (9.5 degrees). However, for slopes between 2:12 and 4:12, double layers of underlayment are often required.
      2. **Clay and Concrete Tiles**: These usually require a minimum slope of 2.5:12 (approximately 11 degrees) but can vary based on the specific product and manufacturer recommendations.
      3. **Metal Roofing**: The minimum slope can be as low as 0.5:12 (around 2.4 degrees) for standing seam metal roofs, though 3:12 (about 14 degrees) is more typical for other metal roofing styles.
      4. **Wood Shakes and Shingles**: These generally require a minimum slope of 3:12 (14 degrees).
      5. **Slate**: A minimum slope of 4:12 (about 18.5 degrees) is typically recommended for slate tiles.

    We used the same metal sections for a walkway and sala and yes it is noisy when raining

    Ex contractor here, I've had this problem befor as they should have seen this problem befor. the best fix is removing all the tiles. When they make the steel metal and shape it they should have asked if you wanted insulation if you order with insulation it's quite, they stick it on when rolling it into shape. They did a strange thing on your eves also. I used my village people for my build with no luck and to many problems so wife found all the subcontractors on fb market place and I set the finish.

    Blue scope very good material amd popular in Aus. As long as those batons under the steel are screwed to rafters and not just the tiles, or strong wind can still take off the roof (cyclone strength) we have trucks come to site for commercial builds very long sheets and rolls out of the truck. 5 minutes per sheet. $6500 AUD for that build is bloody awesome. Here that would be $80,000 - $100,000 Aud. The steel roof will last 50 years easily

    Here in WA state US, most people place foam insulation board with metal on top.
    I love the sound of rain on a metal roof!

    @dtester61 Před 8 dny +1

    Just as a general principle, the flatter the roof the more problems. You’ve already experienced one of the problems, the other is, as the builder pointed out, a roof with a low pitch can simply take flight in strong wind as it basically becomes an aeroplane wing.

    It´s a good idea to put a metal sheet roof on a tiled roof to keep the tiles dry.

    I renewed the roof on my wife’s bungalow in Korat, we used similar metal roofing yourve used but it had about an inch of foam on it, no noise too

    colorbond is great.. lots of homes all over australia use this stuff.. running some gutters along the roof edge to catch that water for storage would be a good move. even if its just fo the gardens.. but rainwater is the best water for everything.

    I am not surprised that your wife fixed the problem, Thai women are fantastically resourceful , at least the ones I know. I am a civil engineer and my wife built quite a few things without needing my help,, very impressive. 😊

    That's an excellent solution to your problem. I have tiles on our Udon house, but on the new build out on the farm I picked brick red (not orange) sheet roofing with about 1 1/2 inch foam bonded to it. Above the ceiling I have 4 inch rolled insulation. At least so far, I haven't noticed all that much noise. I was a little concerned since the parents have uninsulated metal sheet roofing, and that stuff is like a drum in the rain. The bonded insulation does seem to help a lot in our case.

    Great will be to have a metal roof under tiles. Tiles on the top will be most evident sound barrier. But I am glad you guys found solution for the problem.

    Trust me. Don’t go cheap on the MAIN PROTECTION of a home. Leads to bigger problems. Do the roof structurally right. And be sure it over hangs well ‘past’ the homes walls

    We had similar issue with our build in Ratchaburi. Surprised you didn't just pull the tiles up and put a rain membrane on then throw the tiles back on. Either way glad you're happy 👍

      If we were not in rainy season with the ceiling complete and we had abit more time we probably would have taken that option 👍

    I would have thought that your builder would have known that the rain might of got in under the tiles on such a low pitch roof.
    I don’t know about tropical countries but in the uk if the roof is a similar pitch to yours and using the same tiles you just have to reduce the lap on the tiles to stop the water penetrating underneath them.
    At least you’ll got it sorted now 👍

    In England, tiled rooves have a tarpaulin layer laid over the rafters before the tiles are added to catch any ingress of water. Maybe you should have covered the tiles with a plastic sheet temporarily then removed all the tiles and put in a liner before replacing.

    • @lifeinruralthailand
      @lifeinruralthailand  Před 8 dny

      In Thailand, the use of tarpaulins (taupolin) under roof tiles is less common due to several reasons related to climate and building practices
      1. **Climate Considerations**: Thailand's hot and humid climate can lead to rapid deterioration of tarpaulins. The intense sun and heavy rains can cause tarpaulins to degrade quickly, making them less durable as an underlayer for roofing.
      2. **Traditional Building Practices**: Traditional Thai building techniques often involve the use of materials like bamboo, wood, and thatch, which naturally provide good ventilation and insulation. Modern buildings might use more durable and permanent materials like concrete, metal sheets, or clay tiles that don’t require tarpaulins underneath.
      3. **Material Availability**: In Thailand, materials like concrete tiles, metal sheets, and clay tiles are readily available and preferred for roofing. These materials are more durable and provide better protection against the elements compared to tarpaulins.
      4. **Construction Techniques**: Modern construction in Thailand often includes the use of concrete roofs or well-sealed roofing tiles that do not necessitate an additional waterproof layer like a tarpaulin.
      5. **Ventilation Needs**: Proper ventilation is crucial in hot climates to prevent heat buildup under the roof. Using tarpaulins might obstruct natural airflow, leading to higher indoor temperatures.
      6. **Economic Factors**: While tarpaulins might be cheaper initially, their shorter lifespan and the need for frequent replacement can make them less economical in the long run.
      Overall, the preference for more durable, traditional, and locally suitable materials and methods likely contributes to the lesser use of tarpaulins under roof tiles in Thailand. 👍👍

    I do not know if you can get Zip System sheathing in Thailand, but that is primo, especially if you put a quality wrap on top of it. Remember; the lower the pitch, the more overlap you need on the under wrap. You can not over kill a sealing system. I bet you never get fooled again. Good luck.

    we have a 25 degree steel roof with clip lock profiles. there is about 10 cm of insulation on the ceiling. the fact is we can only hear the rain when it is really heavy.

    Interesting, informative episode. Happy solution. I'll bet you "Freaked Out" a little bit, I would as well! Good, fast, cheap solution Damo came up with, and got delivered and installed right away. Yes sheet metal roofs are very noisy when it rains, but you have the sound barrier and insulation already there as you say. Ryan is happy about his drone shots! Always the cinematographer 555 Good to have construction workers with a "can do" attitude. Thanks guys, Peace and Love Y'all

    We had a leak in the kitchen for years made a massive hole and we lived with it only last month got someone in to have a look fixed it and repaired and patched up the ceiling and looks great I was putting it off for years as leaks are a nightmare to pinpoint.
