More cost-effective method utilizes exposed fasteners which might be driven through each metal panel in to the roof sheathing.
Now we'll discuss how standing seam metal roofs are constructed. Let's assume the metal roof panels are formed on your job site in contrast to in the metal fabricators shop or factory.
Each portion of the metal roof is individually formed on the desired length. This reduces job site waste, as long and short panels is often cut towards appropriate length. The shaping machine, referred to as brake, is made to make the interlocking panels.
A sharp-toothed hydraulic shear cuts each panel towards the appropriate length with no damage the panel ends. However the roof panels require some trimming manually, it'll only take several minutes to cut every one and prepare it for installation.
Each section of the metal roof product placed in the specific order which results in a water-resistant seal. First, roofing paper is installed on the roof sheathing. Next, the roof's valleys (formed where two roof sections meet at an angle) are covered. A preformed ridge cap covers the roof's peak. All the vertical roof sections will probably be attached to the ridge vent for the uniform appearance.
Each roof panel that runs from ridge to eave tucks neatly in the ridge vent. Clips secure each panel towards the roof sheathing. Using hidden fasteners results in a more polished look should the job is done. The other adjoining panel enshrouds the clips that secure each panel (left). The raised seams formed with the panel ends are crimped together to make a watertight seal.
Each adjacent roof panel is crimped together. Each panel hides the clips that secure the adjacent panel in to the roof sheathing. By completely in the fasteners, they're recyclable encountered with the elements, decreasing the chance of water damaging the rooftop sheathing or structural system below.
The end result: Ridge cap, valleys and vertical sections all come together to form a watertight seal against the elements. A correctly installed metal roof can go years with little maintenance.
