Metal roofs can be a very budget-friendly and green option for your house, because of easy installation by Denton roofers, durability, and efficiency, and also because of low cost. It is also suited for flat roofs that have a low pitch. So, if you are thinking of replacing your old flat roof with a metal one, this is a good idea. Here is how this type of roof can be set up to replace your old flat roof:
– With metal roofs, it is all about the layers, so plan to build the roof layers correctly, to ensure that water runs from one layer to the other, and off the roof.
– For the underlayment use a self-healing ice-and-water membrane to protect the shallow-pitched roof deck, while paying attention that it is installed as flat as possible, without wrinkles.
– Panels should be ordered to fit, without seams, to avoid water getting under them. Also, fastening the panels just right is the key to a watertight roof.
So, whether it is because of good looks, or for its lifespan and durability, it is possible to use a metal roof on a flat roof. You can actually pick from two types of metal roof systems: standing seam and screw-down. A standing seam metal roof system is better suited if your space is heated.
