How Do You Install A Sheet Metal Roof?

0

The two most common materials used for roofing are shingles and sheet metal. Shingles are often used because they are less expensive than sheet metal, but a sheet metal roof will outlast a shingle roof if it is installed properly. When you decide to go with sheet metal roofing, you first have to decide if you are going to install it over the existing material or if you will remove it to be completely replaced by the sheet metal. This article will provide you with instructions for installing sheet metal roofing that will completely replace any other roofing, which requires you to remove the materials first. You will then start with a basic plywood base. Purchase your sheet metal roofing based upon the requirements that you need from the measurements of your roof. Remember to add four inches for the overhang. Also remember to buy the proper amount of metal edging. Install the metal edging first. This will run along the perimeter of the roof and is nailed using the 1 ΒΌ inch roofing nails.
