Unlike asphalt or other roofing materials, a properly constructed metal roof can handle just about anything Mother Nature can throw at it. Quality metal roofing can protect your home against extreme temperatures, high winds, hail, marine air and even fire—all with minimal maintenance.
What is the difference between a tin roof and a seamless metal roof? What are the pros and cons for use in a residential building?
From a practical standpoint, the new metal roof may add less weight than the old layers of roofing have lost with worn-off granules and evaporated oils. I have seen successful installations over multiple layers.
That being said, there are things that could have been done to reduce the visual impact; such as stiffening ribs in the flat area of the panel, embossing of the metal. Precision leveling the metal prior to forming.
Unfortunately, if this is peeled down to the bare metal (and it appears to be), the problem is likely in something amiss with the pre-treatment of the metal. Proper pre-treatment is essential for paint to adhere to the metal.
I have old tin on two roofs with yankee gutters. I would like to replace them with with metal. Can the newer metal materilas be shaped to fit in the yankee gutter?
Starting with the wood planks and going towards the metal roof, what are the different layers that would provide good winter insulation and proper ventilation? There is no attic. Can I put the metal roof directly on the deteriorated shake shingles?
We just had a small 12x24 cabin put on our lot in Saskachewan. The tin roof was installed over plywood sheets and there are no roof vents. The trusses are made with 4x6 so we have room to insualte with air space but I'm not sure the best way to do this?
We have an older tin roof (guaranteed to be at least 50 yrs old, probably >60yrs). It has some rust, more severe in some places than others. After we get as much rust off as we can, but before we paint with the aluminized coating, SHOULD WE USE A RUST NEUTRALIZER?
Every time we have a rainstorm with high winds the roof leaks from the ridge. Is this common with tin roofs? The contractor did a repair to the area around a vent pipe and assured me that the roof was properly installed.
