Repair or Replace

Repair or Replace http://www.ultraseam.com/ Repair or ReplaceUnderstanding potential weaknesses of roofing material also requires knowledge of repair difficulties. Individual slates can be replaced normally without major disruption to the rest of the roof, but replacing flashing on a slate roof can require substantial removal of surrounding slates. If it is the substrate or a support material that has deteriorated, many surface materials such as slate or tile can be reused if handled care fully during the repair. Such problems should be evaluated at the outset of any project to determine if the roof can be effectively patched, or if it should be completely replaced.Will the repairs be effective? Maintenance costs tend to multiply once trouble starts. As the cost of labor escalates, repeated repairs could soon equal the cost of a new roof.The more durable the surface is initially, the easier it will be to maintain. Some roofing materials such as slate are expensive to install, but if top quality slate and flashing are used, it will last 40-60 years with minimal maintenance. Although the installation cost of the roof will be high, low maintenance needs will make the lifetime cost of the roof less expensive.

Types of Metal Roofs: Shingles

Shingles and Tiles Metal roofs can also be made to resemble wood shakes, clay tiles, shingles, and Victorian metal tiles. To create the desired look, aluminum or coated steel can be pressed or formed into individual realistic shapes. Individual shingles or tiles work best when roofing a home that has curving roof planes or intricate roofs.Conversely, sheets of aluminum or pre-coated steel, approximately 4 feet in length, are pressed into modular panels through a stamping process creating the look of individual shingles, shakes, slates, or tiles. The benefit of this type of roofing is that it is designed for quick installation; installers only have to work with one larger piece as opposed to numerous smaller pieces. Available through regular distribution channels, modular panels are readily obtainable.In addition, metal sheets can also go through both processes -- roll forming and stamping. These panels receive roll-form elements, but also are stamped into consistent patterns on one large sheet.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Galvanized Steel

Galvanized steel is the most common metal choice for a metal roof. The material is affordable and offers excellent structural capabilities. Plain steel is coated with a layer of hot-dipped commercially pure zinc to provide corrosion protection. Zinc is considered a sacrificial element and works well as a metallic coating. When the metal is cut or damaged, the zinc coating will protect that area from corrosion. Galvanized steel is warranted against corrosion for up to 20 years and offers excellent barrier protection. Galvanized metallic coatings are designated G-30, G-60, and G-90. This means that the weight of zinc on the steel is 30.-, 60.-, or 90-oz. per square foot, counting both the top and the bottom side of the sheet. The Metal Roofing Alliance recommends the use of only G-90 for roofing applications.Galvalume steel combines the metallic coatings of both aluminum and zinc. This combination joins the healing properties of zinc with the superior barrier protection of aluminum. Galvalume steel offers superior weathering properties and is used in various application weights, the most common being AZ-55. http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Aluminum

Aluminum is an affordable and extremely lightweight roofing material. It can be used either painted or unpainted; regardless, it will need a finish. Aluminum has a high coefficient of expansion, causing some thermal movement. Like steel, aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio. In addition, this material has excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for coastal environments.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Copper

Copper has a life expectancy measured in centuries; however, the material is very costly. Many will recognize copper roofs for the characteristic patina-green color that occurs when the copper oxidizes. Copper retains its original color when an acrylic layer is applied. Strong and very resistant to corrosion, copper is also easy to roll into sheets, but installation may be intricate.http://www.ultraseam.com/

Types of Metal Roofs: Zinc

Zinc offers exceptional corrosion resistance. Like copper, this material also changes color as it oxidizes, turning a bluish-white. Zinc is malleable, enabling the creation of many attractive individual shingles and tiles.http://www.ultraseam.com/
