as risinger stated in the video, usually you are going to slide the gutter behind the drip edge. in risinger's case, the cor-a-vent acted as a spacer.

As a solar business owner with over 40,000 installations, I’ll say we always get excited when we can work with standing seam. Its the best roof type for solar and makes far far more sense than solar roof tiles or punching holes in a 3 tab
@EmptyZoo393 2 жыл бұрын
Being able to just clamp onto the roof without needing to worry about sealing holes is a huge perk of standing seam. That by itself has been enough to make me look closer at it. The decades long lifespan (assuming it's been installed correctly) makes it even more attractive. Any experience dealing with weird roof shapes? I've seen a lot of newer houses that seem determined to have as many rooflines as possible, and it makes anything other than asphalt a real pain in the neck.

In my opinion, adding ventilation behind your metal roof is an excellent idea. I never understood that we vent the wall, but not the roof when you receive all you water on it. Take care Matt!

I think it all depends whether your addic is conditioned or non conditioned/vented. In Matt's case having a vapour barrier on the inside of the roof rafters it makes sense, but if you have a ventilated truss addic, not sure if you really have to as long as you use a decent underlay?

I hear you. Over here we have a lot of trouble with an invasive species: racoons. They tend to wreck through simple bitumen covered garden shed roofs like a hot knife through butter. So many of my neighbors in the "garden colony" have to repair their roofs almost every year. Except for those that choose a tin roof like me. And it's not even that expensive. I bought the "eco-friendly" high priced version and even then it was only €35/m² ($4/sqft) including work and taxes. Survived two hailstorms without a scratch before I even had a chance to sheet the walls.

Ice Guard installed onto the eaves (overhangs) is to be wrapped onto fascia and continue at least 2' past the exterior wall and over the heated space beneath. In other words: not just 3 or 4 feet "up the roof" it all depends on how big your overhangs are. When you are dealing with open porches for example you may need 8-10' of Ice Guard or more

Like Brad Gaeth, I'm wondering how you did all your vents. The attic is conditioned, and we've seen the interior of the attic in other shows, so we can tell know you didn't cut corners and vent to the attic :-). I was watching the eves for vents, but didn't see what I guessed might be there. I think a separate show on venting best practices would be well received. In my upcoming project, I'll have a metal roof, and I'm wondering how to do combustion and exhaust air, as well as DWV.

I had a retrofit to standing seam in 2019. The roofer got a precut system and they shipped the wrong dripedge, the supplier was nice enough to come out and make it on site , those machines are pretty nice. The seamless gutter guys use the same material now so you can get a color match without much fuss. I have a high pitch roof and wish they would have warned me how slick it was going to be, its like a row of slides on your roof. If i had known i would have had them put in some permanent harness anchors. I went standing seam because not only was it time to replace the shingle but i was planning on putting solar on and i likeed the ridge mount system. No sense in putting 25 year solar on a 15 year roof.

most people roofers hand swage the seams. when risinger referred to a "double lock", i don't know whether than means a 90 degree swage of 180 degree swage. both are labor intensive when done manually, with the 180 degree swage requiring 2 passes. in addition, hand swaging 24 gauge steel is difficult enough, but probably ridiculously difficult on an 8/12 roof pitch.

vapours travel through the air space between the underside of sheet metal and the top of the membrane, then escape at the bottom of the assembly and at the top (soffit/ridge). There are continous vents at the soffit/fascia and at the ridge/junctions to vertical walls.

Nice video. Roof looks very handsome. 2 items: 1) There was no mention of seam spacing. A black (I assume) aluminum roof will undergo quite a bit of heat related expansion and contraction and you will not want to have any “oil canning”. Seam spacing and material thickness impact this. 3) Matt mentioned 3/12 for his “lower” slope area but later your guest said 2/12. If I’m not mistaken, 3/12 is really the lowest you want to go on and metal roof that is not soldered or otherwise detailed to perform as a membrane that will essentially leak under some circumstances.

Matt, I am looking to install a metal roof -- using steel or aluminum "shakes" -- I like your idea of allowing air-flow under the metal roofing. I also think that the 1x4 on a steep roof is quite clever and they 45 degree angle is an amazing twist.... Question = what was done at the eves and rakes with the 1/4? is there a product used at the eve to fit between the 1x4's or it that the plastic strips you show in the video that are nailed to the barge board prior to the install of the drip edge/caps? For the rake is there a 1x4 that runs parallel to the rake for the full length of the rake edge? Last question, how far apart are the 1x4's spaced? Great video -- I hope you see my questions and answer soon... Retired Person in KY

also curious about spacing, looks about 36"-48" on center

Any concerns/extra things to do with the ridge cap on the low slope?

Funny I just got a quote for a metal roof on my small 1000sqft rental house. Shocked the crap out of me at $22,500 for a super simple roof job. Looks like I’m gona wait a while to see if steel prices come down before deciding what to do.

How big is the roof b/c the square footage of your house really doesn't tell me anything about the roof size? Its quite common for a metal roof, depending on material and type, to cost 3-5 times as much as asphalt shingles.

Speaking of solar, I don't remember any special considerations for the electrical connections up on the roof for future solar. It would be unsightly to run those wires down the side of the house to your Main Box/Inverter/Battery.

Would the roofing that has 1x4s under it get dimpling where the voids are during a hail storm?

when change to steel roof, does it has a loud sound when raining compare to another material?

I recently did a metal roof - there's no way, given aesthetic parameters, I'd recommend installing anything else in the future.

@Ganga Din you can get any color you would ever want and it's all personal preference but galvalume would look good on a farm-style build.

@Ganga Din do you think that asphalt shingles (which the vast majority of people have on their roofs) *don't* get hot?

black solar panels would actually blend in quite well.

@Ganga Din Yeah, as Dave Wenzel said - you can get a huge range of colors. I have a friend who finished up, before lumber prices went ballistic, some multi-family (apts./condos) spec. 'houses' and the demand for that rough galvalume repurposed look far exceeded anything I could have imagined. But, as far as using metal - I'm a 100% convert and if you do it yourself the costs are not that much greater.

@@paperwait9611 I don't think he was suggesting Asphalt shingles don't get hot - I think he was suggesting that in the realm of metal roofing black runs hotter. Many, perhaps all, major metal sales companies will say the same thing of metals - lighter colors are better in certain climates. Irrespective, one nice thing metal has over Asphalt is far less mass (something like 80% lighter)....I'm not sure what the construction sciences term is for it but a metal roof will 'shed' that heat MUCH faster.

if water gets under the metal how does it flow out? it seems like the diagonal boards would soak it up and the drip edge would work to keep it under the metal.
