IMP: Izinto zokwakha kanye nomsebenzi, kanye nezimo zezulu endaweni yangakini, zizonquma ubude bempilo yophahla lwakho. Uma ifakwe inkampani yokufulela ikhwalithi, izinhlobo eziningi zophahla zihlala iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-15; ezinye zingahlala iminyaka engu-50 noma ngaphezulu ngaphandle kwalapho kunesiphepho esikhulu noma kuwa isihlahla esikhulu. Akumangazi ukuthi izinhlobo ezingabizi kakhulu zama-shingles azihlali isikhathi eside njengoba ezibiza kakhulu, futhi uhla lwamanani lubanzi impela.
Ama-shingles angabizi kakhulu abiza u-$70 isikwele ngasinye (ngejagoni yokufulela, “isikwele” singamamitha-skwele ayi-100). Esigabeni esiphezulu, uphahla olusha lungabiza kufika ku-$1,500 ngonyawo lwesikwele ngasinye; ama-shingles ebangeni lamanani aphezulu angaphila ukudlula indlu ngokwayo. Qhubeka ufunde ukuze ufunde mayelana nempilo yezinhlobo ezahlukene zama-shingles ukuze uqonde kangcono lapho uphahla ludinga ukushintshwa.
I-asphalt shingles iwuhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwezinto zokufulela ezithengiswa namuhla. Afakwe kumaphesenti angaphezu kuka-80 ezindlini ezintsha ngoba ayathengeka ($70 kuya ku-$150 ngemitha yesikwele ngokwesilinganiso) futhi afika newaranti yeminyaka engu-25.
Ama-Asphalt shingles ayizimbobo ezisekelwe ku-asphalt ezenziwe ngezinto eziphilayo njenge-fiberglass noma i-cellulose enikeza ungqimba oluqinile lokuvikela emisebeni ye-UV, umoya nemvula. Ukushisa okuvela elangeni kuthambisa itiyela kuma-shingles, okuthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kusize ukubamba ama-shingles endaweni futhi enze uphawu oluvimbela amanzi.
Uhlobo ngalunye lwe-asphalt shingle (i-fiberglass noma i-organic) inezinzuzo zayo kanye nokubi. Ama-shingles e-asphalt, enziwe ngezinto eziphilayo ezifana ne-cellulose, ahlala isikhathi eside kodwa abiza kakhulu kune-fiberglass shingles. Ama-shingles e-asphalt e-Organic nawo aminyene futhi ane-asphalt eningi esetshenziswa kuwo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ama-shingles e-fiberglass anesisindo esincane, yingakho evame ukukhethwa lapho ebeka ungqimba lwama-shingles phezu kophahla olukhona. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-shingles e-fiberglass anokumelana nomlilo okuphezulu kune-cellulose shingles.
Kokubili i-fiberglass ne-organic bituminous shingles ziza ngemiklamo ehlukahlukene, kanti ama-shingles anamapulangwe amathathu nezakhiwo avame kakhulu. Okudume kakhulu yi-shingle enezicucu ezintathu, lapho unqenqema olungezansi lomugqa ngamunye lunqunywa khona lube yizicucu ezintathu, lunikeze ukubonakala kwama-shingles amathathu ahlukene. Ngokuphambene, ama-shingle ezakhiwo (bheka ngezansi) asebenzisa izendlalelo eziningi zezinto zokwakha isakhiwo esinezingqimba esilingisa ukubukeka kwe-shingle eyodwa, okwenza uphahla lubukeke luthakaseleka kakhulu futhi lube nezinhlangothi ezintathu.
Okungase kube kubi kwama-shingles ukuthi asengozini yokulimala ukhunta noma ulwelwe lapho efakwe ezindaweni eziswakeme. Labo abahlala ezindaweni ezinomswakama ikakhulukazi futhi abacabanga ukushintsha uphahla lwabo lwetiyela bangase bafune ukutshala imali kuma-shingles amelana nolwelwe ngokukhethekile.
Nakuba ama-shingles e-architectural shingles evaleka ngendlela efanayo nama-shingles avamile we-bituminous, aminyene ngokuphindwe kathathu, ngaleyo ndlela enze uphahla oluqinile, oluqinile. Iziqinisekiso ze-architectural shingle zibonisa ukuqina okwengeziwe. Nakuba amawaranti ehluka ngomkhiqizi, amanye anwebeka iminyaka engu-30 noma ngaphezulu.
Ama-shingles e-Architectural, anenani lama-$250 kuya ku-$400 ngesikwele ngasinye, abiza kakhulu kunama-shingles amathathu, kodwa abuye abhekwe njengezikhanga kakhulu. Lezi zingqimba eziningi ze-laminate azigcini nje ukwandisa ukuqina kwazo, kodwa futhi zivumela ukuba zilingise amaphethini nokuthungwa kwezinto ezibiza kakhulu njengokhuni, i-slate kanye nophahla lwamathayela. Njengoba le miklamo ewubukhazikhazi ibiza kancane kunezinto ezilingisayo, ama-shingles ezakhiwo angahlinzeka ngobuhle bekhwalithi ephezulu ngaphandle kwezindleko ezimba eqolo.
Sicela uqaphele ukuthi ama-shingles e-architectural kanye ne-3-ply bituminous awafanele ukusetshenziswa ophahleni oluthambekile noma oluyisicaba. Angasetshenziswa kuphela ophahleni olumisiwe olunomthambeka ongu-4:12 noma ngaphezulu.
Umsedari uwukhetho olukhethwayo lwama-shingles nama-shingles ngenxa yokubola kwawo kanye nezindawo zokuxosha izinambuzane. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ama-shingles azothatha umbala ompunga othambile ozofanela cishe noma yisiphi isitayela sasekhaya, kodwa ulungele ikakhulukazi izindlu zesitayela sikaTudor kanye nezindlu ezifulelwe ezifulelwe eziphakeme.
Ngophahla olunamathayela, uzokhokha phakathi kuka-$250 no-$600 ngemitha-skwele ngayinye. Ukuyigcina isesimweni esihle, uphahla lwamathayela kufanele luhlolwe minyaka yonke futhi noma yikuphi ukuqhekeka ophahleni lwamathayela kufanele kushintshwe ngokushesha. Uphahla olunakekelwa kahle luzohlala phakathi kweminyaka eyi-15 nengama-30, kuye ngekhwalithi yama-shingles noma ama-shingles.
Nakuba ama-shingles enobuhle bemvelo futhi angabizi kakhulu ukuwafaka, anezinkinga ezithile. Ngenxa yokuthi kungumkhiqizo wemvelo, akuvamile ukuthi ama-shingles agoqe noma ahlukane phakathi nokufakwa, futhi i-warp ngemva kokufakwa kwama-shingles. Lezi zinkinga zingabangela ukuvuza noma ukuhlukaniswa kwamathayili ngamanye.
Ama-shingles ezinkuni kanye nama-shingles nawo ajwayele ukushintsha umbala. Umbala wabo omusha onsundu uzophenduka ube mpunga oyisiliva ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, umbala abanye abantu abawuthandayo. Ukuba sengozini kokusha kwama-shingles kuyakhathaza kakhulu, nakuba ama-shingles nama-shingles aphathwa ngama-flame retardants ayatholakala. Eqinisweni, kwamanye amadolobha, imithetho iyakwenqabela ukusetshenziswa kwamapulangwe angaqediwe. Qaphela ukuthi ukufaka ama-shingles kungaholela kumaphrimiyamu aphezulu omshwalense noma ama-deductibles abanikazi bezindlu.
Nakuba amathayili obumba etholakala ezinhlobonhlobo zamathoni omhlaba, lolu hlobo lophahla lwaziwa kakhulu ngamathoni e-terracotta anesibindi athandwa kakhulu eNingizimu-ntshonalanga yaseMelika. Ukufaka uphahla lukathayela wobumba kungabiza noma yikuphi ukusuka ku-$600 kuya ku-$800 ngemitha-skwele ngayinye, kodwa ngeke kudingeke ukuthi ulishintshe nganoma yisiphi isikhathi maduzane. Amathayela ahlala isikhathi eside, anakekelwa kancane angahlala kalula kufikela eminyakeni engu-50, futhi iziqinisekiso zomkhiqizi zisukela eminyakeni engu-30 kuya ekuphileni konke.
Uphahla lwamathayela obumba luthandwa kakhulu ezindaweni ezishisayo, ezinelanga, njengoba ukushisa kwelanga okunamandla kungathambisa ingaphansi lamathayela etiyela, kunciphise ukunamathela futhi kubangele ukuvuza kophahla. Nakuba kubizwa ngokuthi amathayela “wobumba” futhi amanye enziwe ngobumba, amathayela obumba anamuhla ngokuyinhloko enziwa ngokhonkolo onemibala ebunjwa abe yizimo ezigobile, eziyisicaba noma ezixhumene.
Ukufaka amathayela obumba akuwona umsebenzi wokuzenzela wena. Amathayili asindayo futhi antekenteke futhi kufanele abekwe ngokuvumelana namaphethini anqunyiwe adinga izilinganiso ezinembile. Futhi, ukushintsha uphahla oludala lwetiyela ngothayela bobumba kungase kudinge ukuqinisa uphahla lwendlu, njengoba amathayela obumba angaba nesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-950 ngemitha-skwele ngayinye.
Uphahla lwensimbi luyahlukahluka ngentengo kanye nekhwalithi, kusukela ku-$115/isikwele ku-aluminium yomthungo omile noma amaphaneli ensimbi kuya ku-$900/sq kumatshe ensimbi abhekene namatshe kanye namaphaneli ethusi omthungo amile.
Endabeni yophahla lwensimbi, ikhwalithi nayo incike ekugqineni: ubukhulu obukhulu (inombolo ephansi), uphahla luhlala luqinile. Esigabeni esishibhile, uzothola insimbi ezacile (izinga 26 kuya ku-29) enempilo yesevisi yeminyaka engama-20 kuye kwengama-25.
Uphahla lwensimbi olusezingeni eliphezulu (ugqinsi oluyi-22 kuya ku-24 mm) ludumile ezindaweni ezisenyakatho ngenxa yokukwazi ukugingqa iqhwa ophahleni futhi luqine ngokwanele ukuba luhlale kalula ngaphezu kwengxenye yekhulunyaka. Abakhiqizi banikeza isiqinisekiso kusukela eminyakeni engu-20 kuya ekuphileni konke, kuye ngekhwalithi yensimbi. Enye inzuzo ukuthi uphahla lwensimbi lune-carbon footprint ephansi kune-asphalt ngenxa yenani eliphezulu lemikhiqizo ye-petroleum esetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwama-shingles.
Ububi obungaba khona bophahla lwensimbi ukuthi lungabotshwa ngamagatsha awelayo noma amatshe amakhulu esichotho. Amazinyo cishe akunakwenzeka ukuwasusa futhi ngokuvamile abonakala ekude, onakalise ukubukeka kophahla. Kulabo abahlala ngaphansi kwezihlahla noma ezindaweni ezinesichotho esiningi, uphahla lwensimbi olwenziwe ngensimbi esikhundleni se-aluminium noma ithusi kunconywa ukunciphisa ingozi yezintuthwane.
I-Slate iyitshe lemvelo le-metamorphic elinokuthungwa okuhle elilungele ukwenza amathayela afanayo. Nakuba uphahla lwe-slate lungabiza ($ 600 kuya ku-$ 1,500 imitha yesikwele), lungamelana nanoma yini nje uMama Wendalo ephonsa kulo (ngaphandle kwesishingishane esinamandla) ngenkathi igcina ubuqotho nobuhle besakhiwo.
Abakhiqizi bethayela lesilayidi banikeza iwaranti yeminyaka engu-50 kuya ekuphileni kwakho konke, okwenza kube lula ukukushintsha uma ithayela lesilayidi liqhekeka. Ukungalungi okukhulu kwama-tile ophahleni lwe-slate (ngaphandle kwezindleko) yisisindo. Uhlaka olujwayelekile lokuphahla alufanelekile ukusekela lezi zinsimbi ezinzima, ngakho-ke amapulangwe ophahleni kufanele aqiniswe ngaphambi kokuba kufakwe uphahla lwe-slate. Esinye isici sokufaka uphahla lwe-slate tile ukuthi alufaneleki umsebenzi wokuzenzela. Ukunemba kubalulekile lapho kufakwa ama-slate shingles futhi inkontileka yokufulela enolwazi iyadingeka ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ama-shingles awawi ngesikhathi senqubo.
Labo abafuna uphahla olukwazi ukumelana nomlilo abakwazi ukungahambi kahle ngama-slate shingles. Njengoba iwumkhiqizo wemvelo, ibuye ibe nobungane nemvelo. I-slate ingasetshenziswa kabusha ngisho nangemva kokuba impilo yaso yokufulela isiphelelwe yisikhathi.
Ukufaka ama-solar panel ophahleni lwendabuko kuyinto evamile kulezi zinsuku, kodwa ama-solar shingles asakhula. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, zikhanga kakhulu kunama-solar panel amakhulu, kodwa futhi ayabiza futhi abiza u-$22,000 ngaphezu kwamaphaneli elanga avamile. Ngeshwa, amathayela elanga awawongi amandla njengamaphaneli elanga ngoba awakwazi ukukhiqiza ugesi omningi. Sekukonke, amathayela elanga anamuhla akhiqiza amandla angaphansi ngo-23% kunamaphaneli elanga ajwayelekile.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, amathayela elanga ambozwa iwaranti yeminyaka engu-30, futhi amathayela awonakele alula ukuwashintsha (nakuba kudingeka uchwepheshe ukuthi awafake esikhundleni). Ukufakwa kokuqala kwama-solar shingles kufanele futhi kushiywe ochwepheshe. Ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka ngokushesha, futhi njengoba ukukhiqizwa kwamathayili elanga kwanda, amanani abo angase ehle.
Uphahla ngokuvamile luphila iminyaka engama-20 kuya kweyi-100, kuye ngezinto ezisetshenziswayo, ukwenziwa kanye nesimo sezulu. Akumangalisi ukuthi izinto ezihlala isikhathi eside kakhulu nazo zibiza ngaphezulu. Kunemibala eminingi nemiklamo ehambisana nanoma yisiphi isitayela sasekhaya, kodwa ukukhetha uphahla olusha kungaphezu kokukhetha umbala. Kubalulekile ukukhetha impahla yokuphahla evumelana nesimo sezulu sendawo yakho kanye nomthambeka wophahla. Qaphela ukuthi kuwumqondo omuhle ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi uphahla oluchwepheshile alufakele uphahla lwakho, kodwa kubakhi bezindlu abazinikele nabanolwazi, kulula kakhulu ukufaka uphahla lwetiyela.
Ukushintsha uphahla kuyindaba ebizayo. Ngaphambi kokuba uqale, kubalulekile ukucwaninga impahla yakho yokufulela kanye nezinketho zenkontileka. Uma ucabanga ngokushintsha uphahla lwakho, nazi ezinye izimpendulo zemibuzo ongase ube nayo.
Impendulo emfushane: ngaphambi kokuvuza kophahla olukhona. Ukuphila kwenkonzo kuncike ohlotsheni lophahla. Isibonelo, impilo yesevisi yama-shingles amathathu cishe iminyaka engu-25, kanti impilo yesevisi ye-architectural shingles ifinyelela eminyakeni engama-30. Uphahla lwama-shingles lungahlala iminyaka engaba ngu-30, kodwa ngaphambi kwaleso sikhathi, kungase kudingeke ukuthi kushintshwe ama-shingles angawodwana. Isilinganiso sokuphila kophahla lwamathayela wobumba yiminyaka engama-50, kanti ukuphila kophahla lwensimbi yiminyaka engama-20 kuya kwengama-70, kuye ngekhwalithi. Uphahla lwe-slate lungahlala iminyaka eyikhulu, kuyilapho ama-solar shingles angahlala iminyaka engaba ngu-30.
Lapho ukuphila kophahla sekuphelelwe yisikhathi, sekuyisikhathi sophahla olusha, ngisho noma lusabukeka luhle. Ezinye izimpawu zokuthi kudingeka kushintshwe uphahla zihlanganisa ukulimala kwesichotho noma amagatsha awile, ama-shingles asontekile, ama-shingles angekho, nokuvuza kophahla.
Izimpawu ezisobala zomonakalo zihlanganisa ama-shingles noma amathayela aphukile noma alahlekile, ukuvuza kosilingi wangaphakathi, uphahla oluwohlokayo, nama-shingles alahlekile noma adabukile. Nokho, akuzona zonke izimpawu ezibonakala ngeso elingaqeqeshiwe, ngakho-ke uma usola umonakalo, shayela uchwepheshe wokuphahla ukuze ahlole uphahla lwakho.
Ukushintshwa kwetiyela noma ukwakhiwa kophahla kungathatha noma yikuphi kusukela ezinsukwini ezi-3 kuye kwezingu-5, kuye ngesimo sezulu kanye nobukhulu nobunkimbinkimbi bomsebenzi. Ukufakwa kwezinye izinhlobo zophahla kungathatha izinsuku ezimbalwa kuye emavikini. Imvula, iqhwa noma isimo sezulu esibi singanweba isikhathi sokushintshwa.
