Thanks Thad for all your info..

We covered our home (two story with a "shed" addition from the previous owners) with 8" steel purlins, blown or sheet poly foam insulation, and R-panels. Being in my 60's and having done R-panels starting in the 70's, and given how much it cost to put this roof on, even though I did it myself, yes, cost was a big factor. I was pretty clear that a) I didn't have the equipment to do a "real" standing seam roof (and believe me, I investigated it, from manual crimpers to trailer bound forming machines to small electric roll crimpers for the seams, all the way up to "snap-lock" type "standing seam" roofing), b) I didn't have the experience/expertise (or patience) to do the standing seam, and c) I was able to do my roof at my own pace, getting materials from suppliers I knew could fill my needs when needed. Our roof is a category 4 metal roof and earns a nice insurance discount. I need to go up and scrub it down once in a while because of the natural tendency of anything left outside to get dirty and dusty. But, all that said, I think the standing seam with no fasteners showing is a more "classy" looking roof, as mine tends toward the industrial look. But, sometimes we have choices to make, and mine was to "DIY" and save several thousand dollars. For about 7-8 thousand bux, I got my 2700 square foot home covered with metal, as opposed to the $20K I'd have spent for a standing seam installed by "professionals" (not to mention that I was doing it in the midst of a massive roofing effort in this part of town due to two consecutive springtimes of bit hail storms). Excellent video, much appreciated.

@@TheMetalRoofingChannel Thanks for your reply. As a matter of fact, I'm open to anything you can suggest about keeping the metal clean and as shiny as possible. Since it's an exposed fastener roof, i certainly want to avoid using a water blaster, and with a fairly strong pitch over the garage and on the second floor, I'm not eager to get up there with a scrub brush. However, I really do want to keep the 'street-visible' portion on the garage as clean as possible. It seems that a harness and tether is about the only answer I can come up with. And, since I'm an old cuss (not frail, just tired), I'd prefer to find a solution that didn't involve that. Doubting there is anything any simpler than getting up there with a stiff brush and bucket of suds. Thanks.

Bought a house with a metal roof. Screws sticking up every where. Panels were coming loose and had some damaged de king under neath. Creeked and popped all day as it warmed up then again as it cooled down. The noise when it rained hard was deafening. Metal roofs are very popular around here. People say they love to hear the sound of the rain. No thanks. We went to shingles and the house is so much quieter there is no comparison. As to your speech some one commeneted, if you just slow down a little and are not in such a hurry it will be better. You gave a ton of good information in a short time.

Great video. Informative.

We installed a galvalume standing seam roof on our 1000 sq ft addition project ourselves, awhile back, prior to an army of DIY KZreadrs being a thing. Should be a lot easier to find good educational videos now. Saving the installation cost makes the standing seam roof a swinging deal if you're looking to not have to roof again, or do any maintenance to speak of in your lifetime. The cool roof (galvalume, light silver, plus we spent a little extra on a more reflective UV coating) makes a massive difference on insulation efficiency and comfort (we don't have AC, but we insulated over double the code requirements , used a good radiant barrier, and we have a hydronic heating system in the floors below the metal roof, which is great in Feb). It wasn't that hard to install, as we did it when the weather cooperated. In fact, we even invited our architect over to help us, and learn how to do it. He said the experience changed the way he designs structures. Hardest part was renting a flatbed and driving the panels from the inland empire to ventura county. That was 12 years ago, when we were gambling on a future of rising temperatures wreaking havoc with utilities and wildfires getting worse. Yesterday it topped 112F here on our property in the conejo valley, and we are hoping not to have to evacuate this year. Guess we gambled well on those materials back when. The galvalume standing seam roof, the cement-board siding, and the warmboard decking we ran the pex in for our hydronic floors were definately all a bit of a splurge at the time. In retrospect they were all SO worth it! As we look to retrofitting the existing 1970s construction that needs upgrading, we will insulate and radiant barrier at 3 or 4 times code, waterproof with the new self adhesive barriers available at big box stores, use good whole house fans, install another cool roof over it, and -- if we can--ditch what's left of our forced air heater for point of use hydronics, so we aren't heating rooms we aren't using, or breathing all those allergens. Still hoping we might not have to install AC.

Hello Ken! The Information is based on best practices and not a specific region, however certain regions might dictate different circumstances. Thermal movement charts are usually based off of 100 degree ambient temperature change in a 24 hour period. SMP or PVDF both should be able to handle the temperatures, but PVDF is an all-around better paint system as we have discussed in previous videos. For standing seam applications we don’t recommend lapping panels so the panel would be as long as it needs to be to remain continuous in length. Length of panel should not be a concern for temperature changes as long as thermal movement is accounted for i.e. expansion clips, hem lengths etc based on the total length of the panel, panel material type and substrate it is being installed on. Expansion tables can be found in all of Sheffield's installation details. We recommend pre-manufactured curbs for any square penetrations. Most flashing kits that come with sky lights are not suitable for metal roof installations. Thanks for the questions! -Thad

Standing seam is a lifelong product. Any good metal outfit is installing 24 gauge metal with 40 year paint warranty. Akzo Nobel and PPG paint systems with a reputable true standing seam installer should be what there installing. In michigan them barn panels tear out of valleys because of ice usually. The only way to flash skylights and chimneys is with hand crafted sheetmetal flashings. A good metal man or installers of mechanically fastened true standing seam will be fabricating all there drip edge sheet panels to length on the job with a portable machine that makes these panels out of painted coil steel. There also is aluminum copper and ryn zinc leaded copper lots of various materials in coil that can be made into panels for roofing. The blind fasten systems do cost more but here it is if you where to stay in a residence for your life you would put three asphalt roofs on vs. 1 standing seam metal roof.

TRUE STANDING SEAM MECHANICALLY FASTENED. 2 straight shots gable gable. Penetrations minimal and pipes and penetrations that are a must plan them to be closer to the ridge of the roof especially in regions of heavy snowfall. Standing seam set for good great product. The cost price factor into these more complex and heavier gauge roofing systems is not so much material comparison to asphalt prices. The more and elaborate the roof the higher the cost due to labor. Dormers, valleys,, sidewalls skylights etc. It takes alot more attention to detail then a utility knife to cut asphalt and a bucket of tar then to actually measure cut with tin snips and custom fabricate a piece of sheetmetal to get a chimney not to leak skylight etc. It is really nice to see the roofs that are all cut up and dormers and valleys and spires multi leveled with details up the wazoo. But to achieve the desired effect you must get the architectural layout to it. Nothing worse then seeing a botched layout on a multi sided spire.

Where I live in Florida standing seam hidden fastener cost twice as much as exposed fastener roofs. Another thing all these companies leave out is exposed fastener is superior to standing seem when it comes to high winds like hurricanes. If you are going to lose an exposed fastener panel it means you are losing the plywood under it as well and in that case standing seem would fail as well. According to FEMA and again not talked about on these videos is standing seem snap lock panels are the worst performing metal roofs with the panels coming unsnapped from the change in wind pressures. We just went through Hurricane Ian this past September of 2022 and the exposed faster roofs all survived around me without damage, the same can not be said for standing seem hidden fastener roofs were some of them did fail. One shopping plaza has a standing seem hidden fastener roof and the entire roof is having to be replaced, right now they have the entire roof shrink wrapped.

@TheMetalRoofingChannel

The short answer is yes, you can install metal over shingles using strapping, but we don’t recommend it even though people do it all the time. I would recommend tearing off the old shingles, that way you can inspect the wood decking and replace as necessary, install a new UDL and attach the panels directly to the substrate. If your roof has blown off several times already, why take any chances? Installing directly to the plywood also allows you the option of being able to use an engineered system because I'm not aware of anyone that has testing over furring strips.

@TheMetalRoofingChannel

5 жыл бұрын

Screws backing out of an exposed fastener roof is often due to expansion and contraction. Because the panel is pinned to the substrate, the screws can eventually get worked out of the panel due to thermal movement, especially on longer panel runs. A standing seam roof that uses expansion clips won't have the same problem because the clip allows the panel to move appropriately during expansion and contraction. Thanks for the comment! -Thad

In my experience, it depends on what it's screwed into and climate. If the screw protrudes the strapping, it allows conductivity of heat throughout the screw. Which in turn causes it to expand and contract at greater rate than the wood.Thus the term a screw loose. Good day to you. Lol. A little knowledge and laughter rolled into one.

On an exposed fastener roof I have heard that you have to replace the fasteners every 5 to 10 years.Any truth to that?

@TheMetalRoofingChannel

4 жыл бұрын

Due to expansion and contraction, the screws can potentially back out or make their hole bigger because of the metal's thermal movement. When that happens, it presents the possibility for leaks if the screws aren't maintained. It depends on the system, location and environment, panel length, etc. as to what time frame that would occur. Hope this helps! -Thad

Exposed fasteners are terrible. They loosen after time and on my 10/12 roof it's a pain to tighten them. The screws would be best to have into your framing not the sheeting but that's usually possible. I have 2 feet or more of snow on my roof at times and loose screws are a real problem.

If you can do the install yourself then you are better off purchasing standing seam. The cut in install price should even out closely to the ribbed and install costs.

Here's a quick tip that might help some people get by if their rubber washers fail, before you ever attempt to put a metal roof on if you have a shingle roof DO NOT remove the shingles and put 30 lb felt over the shingles before you put the metal down and then use long screws that will penetrate through your old shingles into the plywood this will impregnate around the screw even when the washer do fail and give you some extra time, contractor told me this once and he said he'd never went back on a job in 35 years of experience he also coated each screw head with neoprene caulking which is going to take a little longer but in the long run you'll benefit from it

We have an exposed fastener roof on our ice rink and indoor turf fields. About 85,000 square feet. It was a huge mistake. The roof is about 20 years old and about 10 years ago we started to get leaks all over the place. Seems like the roof expanded and contracted over the years and since the screws stayed in one spot it cut holes in the mental roof. We got leaks all over the the place. We are suppose to get a new roof next year. Total shit show. I hear the old owner said he could have laid 3 exposed faster roofs for the price of one standing seam roof. Not sure about that.

The video never got to heart of the issue. The exposed fastener steel may last 60 years but the neoprene on the screws won't, so you have a roof that will leak in best conditions in 15-20 years. For a post frame farm building that may not be a big deal but for a residence or commercial building it will be a disaster. Think about it, steel expands during the coarse of a day and then contracts at night; movement of the roof panels happens over 700 times a year. Screw holes eventually elongate the rubber seal loses it integrity. Chip and Joanna Gaines may get away with exposed fastener roofs in Texas but in Wisconsin exposed fastener roofs on homes and commercial structures are only for the foolish and ill informed. This video does not do justice to the issue.

Lol your fine. Perhaps the mic is a little close. I do hear the S`s sounding long. It's not you bro it's the Mic or sound settings. You are doing great. Making videos is a tough gig. Keep it up.

What a dick! I can completely understand your words and thought it was a great video. Don’t listen to that clown.

What is the "maintanance" of the exsposed fastener you mentioned? Thanks.

You have to change the fasteners every 10-15 years, because of the steel contracting and expanding day and night causes the neoprene seals on the washers wear out over time and it will begin leaking.

Barn siding, agricultural buildings, not roofing quality in my opinion to lite gauge tear that 29 aka pole barn panel with my hands "crap lap" good for livestock buildings and sheds etc. Atleast should be 24 gauge on the roof that's commercial grade. Paint quality has come along way on these heavier gauge painted metal roof coils. Different paints for barn panels. I just put it this way on my roof I dont want holes in my metal sheets. Screws go in the flats. Looking at the lapping rib on the sheet that first flat on the right of the lapping rib. If u float them through the tops of the rib they will orbite the hole overtime due to thermal expansion. In a pole barn u can often here the screws doing this on a hot but cloudy day sometimes loud enough to sound like a gunshot
