Commercial Metal Roofing Systems in Macon Georgia
Many different types of metal roof systems can be found on commercial structures. Standing seam metal roofs, coping, flat lock roof systems, flashings, perimeter edge metals, gutters, and through wall scuppers are commonly fabricated and installed by roofing contractors.
Installing a long-lasting and successful metal roof system requires the following*
- Roof Pitch – Standing seam metal roofs are typically recommended on slopes greater than 3/12. Flatlock roofs are recommended on slopes 3/12 or less.
- Type of Metal – Dissimilar metals can corrode when they come in contact with one another or drain on each other. Also, some metals are naturally weathering while others require painting.
- Thickness of Metal – The gauge or weight of metals must be considered for different types of installations and applications.
- Interior Building Conditions – Vapor barriers or corrosion protection on the underside of the roofing panels must be considered if any vapor is able to infiltrate the roof panels.
- Type of Fastener – Rivets, nails, and screws used in metal roofing applications must be compatible with the metal being installed.
- Thermal Movement – Metal, like all building materials, expands and contracts when exposed to changes in temperature. Metal roofs and box gutter liners can fail if the panels are not secured in one direction and are able to float in the other.
- Underlayment and Slip Sheets – Combinations of Rosin paper, asphalt felt, and (high temperature) ice and water shield are used to allow the metal panels to expand and contract without tearing the underlayment. The low melting point of the asphalt must also be considered as some metal systems can reach temperatures of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Metal Finish – Factory-applied paint finishes for steel or aluminum are available in a wide variety of colors. Metal roof systems installed on churches, schools, or other historical buildings commonly use naturally weathering metals such as copper, stainless steel, or zinc.
