7 Common Problems of a Metal Roof

What is oil canning pls explain?.

Very interesting. Thank you for this video.

Why the fuck are you even humoring the idea of mild steel whether galvanized or galvalume or not - why aren't these companies and manufacturers doing the right thing - use something else - fuck the cost - it should be good quality material. Facts, anything else is an excuse.

I will stick with traditional shingle.

You missed a critical one, how to properly do penetrations correctly.

I live in south Florida near to Miami which roofing product has the best hurricane wind rating ?

Make a video how to make a metal roof cone 🎉please 🙏🏻

I do metal bldg envelope, architectural cladding, and metal bldg systems erection.

I'm a super sheeter

My biggest problem with metal roofing is that there is no way at all in the universe to walk on it!

My experience: First, I over tightened the screws. This squashes the grommet and in a very short time it will become cracked and it will leak water.
Second, in an effort to not over tighten the screws I actually didn't screw them in far enough. The result was an inadequate seal between the roof and the washer. This will cause a leak.
What seems to work for me is to tighten the screw all the way until I see the grommet start to squish so that I know everything is tight and then I back the screw out slightly until the grommet isn't bulging out.
So I think that over tightening or undertaking screws can be a big deal.

we have a 20 yr old metal roof.
most of the butyl and closure strips have blown away.
DIY, Do we take the cap off to do the replacement or cut and paste

Why not make a Hex head cap that goes over the fasteners. To keep the UV rays off them directly while also helping protect the screw head. If only I was rich enough to invent it.

How about 7 COMMON PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE YOUR AUDIO TO BE WAYYYYY TOOOO LOOOUD!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

My metal roof "identifies" as a shingle roof and wont let me do metal roof maintenance on it.
Calls me a HATER and wont reason.

If you have a metal roof or have one installed on your home consider having it sprayed with rino bed liner for a much better durable and weather resistant roof

if I didn't scratch it why wouldn't installer fix the problem

Bull crap. You think. People. Believe. That

Wow, why would a contractor use copper on a steel roof, really bad business...

We just got standing seam nail strip roof installed and man it makes a lot of popping sounds. It's 40° outside and when the sun comes out it immediately starts making a popping/thud sound. This was put on a one-room cabin with a shed-shaped design. There is no attic space. The roof is black. The panels are about 22 ft long. I was hoping to find some content regarding thermal expansion sounds on a metal roof. Do you have a video on that? And how to problem solve/fix it.

Galvanic corrosion

I'm buying a home and trying to do some research on what I can do to prevent damage to the home I am buying. The seller had installed a metal roof but it's attached to the rafters. There is nothing to protect from any kind of damage brought by the weather. I don't know if I need to have this roof torn down and new one put up or if there is anything I can do that won't cost a fortune.

Nike v. Adidas....

Excellent!

So I get it, you have zero info for DIY project people.

I SUB coz ur handsome😘😘😘💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

the fasteners should be on the top of the ridges, no?

So I'm just now getting more into metal roofing and I've ran into several problems that I'm trying to figure out one is the exhaust vent for the stove hood the vent that is sent will not seal to the metal we are using and no form or fashion it does not fall in between any valleys regardless of any measurements that we use also we have a chimney stack coming out of the roof which is I guess galvanized metal silver and I want to know if there's a boot to go over type of metal that we're using and the metal that we are using is 37 and 3/4 wide it is not standing seen it's the kind that's got the screws that show with the washers and I'm just trying to figure out do they make a flexible vent or do you actually have to come and build a say a square box that goes over the ridge and case it out and metal or curbing and then do that metal roofing is very complicated if you want it done right and these are two of the questions that I propose I believe the valley of the metal we're using cuz I can't remember offhand I just got off work is 7 in, is there a flexible vent that can be used for either one of those I mean even though the heater is gas is still getting some type of hot air coming through it yet the guys that installed the chimney which is just bare metal use silicone so it's getting exposed to heat to a certain degree so is there a plastic covering is there a flexible metal covering I mean there's a lot of stuff that I cannot find no videos that cover it

I have matal roof but it liking water rains time. How to pixie it please solution me.

Everything requires maintenance, nothing lasts forever. Properly installed a metal roof rarely leaks with the exception of screw washers failing due to the fact the get hard, crack and deteriorate . Would you rather replace washers one screw at a time or a entire comp roof?

The problem is village idiots believing your BS! As a architectural metal engineer, the problem is idiots and idiot installers! Oil canning! Blow this out your assistance boys! Of anyone has questions on metal roofs just ask me. I'm not gong to sell you anything, and I'm not going to recommend a contractor! I will discuss options fat beyond the concept these idiots can understands!

Getting to the installer... If you have predominate winds from any direction, if possible, start the sheet installation from the opposite end so the wind will blow over the seams and
not constantly hitting a seam that over time will start lifting, getting loose, and could eventually blow off. I told my installer, with many years experience, to instally mine that way.
He said he never thought of it, but would start doing all installations that way.

If you really want to do a metal roof, do your research and ask the installers a lot of questions.
I’m still doing a metal roof!

Oil canning is caused by metal panels with no striations expanding and contracting in temperature change…no way around it…it’s an outcome the client needs to be made aware of and basically a waiver needed to be signed for company protection…it’s a visual issue but not a waterproofing issue…something a client should be made aware of…Other than that installer work ethic and experience determines all results …just like any other trade.

Battons at 900mm, blanket insulation, trim dek or custom orb profile , predrilling for screwing off, bobs your uncle. Zincalum cannot be with or drain into gal. Harnass up.

Very Good!

Not so fast, for example, you need to explain the reason the paint faded or the metal corroded when the installer put copper next to galvanized steel.

Wow, fantastic video. My channel has some videos about production, display and installation, Please check it out if you're interested.

Metal roof is the way to go. What most people don't know is that metal roofs can be pressure washed, primed and painted down the road, and you have a brand new looking roof.
A roof should last a lifetime. U.S. and Canada are the only countries that use disposable throw away asphalt comp roofs on a large scale.

Anyone have any idea how I can treat the rust that is happening bellow my wood burning chimney. I figure I need to coat it with some kind of non flammable paint like Rust-Oleum or similar product.
I appreciate anyone with any ideas. Thank you.

Thanks for this info! I’m considering buying a home in the Sierra Foothills in California. The area around the house has a very large cleared fire safety zone…and the 5 acres of forest have the understory very cleared….but…as we know…fires are going nuts in Calif. My friend who works for a home building company up there said metal roofs are not fire safe. The heat and embers are drawn up the ridges and get held in the attic making your house like a fireplace. What do you think as far as fire safety? These fires have been burning everything….melting metal and solar panels etc. Even if the fire itself doesn’t reach the house…the heat from the trees around the property and embers blowing could ignite in the attic. So I don’t think the metal roof really helps and maybe it’s actually bad. My friend says comp shingles are much better. Any opinion/advice?

American's do a lot of things well, but their metal roofs look so ugly. Long straight plain strips. I only see this type of roof on a shed or garage in Canada. Homes have slick metal tile that look like shingles. Metal Roofing | Dayus Roofing

Can a black metal roof be unventilated? Consequences?

Is 25 gauge galvalume thick enough that oil canning is not an issue? 29 gauge?

I can't pay attention as I'm focused on the camera guy in the reflection. 🤣😄

Be very guarded when dealing with this company. You’ve been warned!

Does metal roofing compromise cell reception?
