[43]COOL METAL ROOF IN VANCOUVER B.C. |
|
TRISTAR ROOFING WAS REFERRED TO INSTALL THIS METAL ROOF BY TWO FAMILY MEMBERS.
|
|
 |
EVEN THOUGH THE OWNER OF THIS HOME WAS IN HIS '80S, HE CHOSE METAL ROOFING BECAUSE OF IT'S PROVEN DURABILITY.IT WAS A ROOF THAT WOULD SERVE THE NEXT GENERATION.
|
|
|
 |
THERE WAS ALOT OF GRAVEL ON THIS ROOF, WHICH OBSCURED A MULTITUDE OF SINS. WE COVERED UP THE LEAK AREAS TEMPORARILY,WITH TARPS.
|
|
|
 |
WE PREPPED THE ROOF FIRST BY SWEEPING AND REMOVING THE LOOSE SURFACE GRAVEL.
|
|
|
 |
IT IS TYPICAL FOR OLDER HOMES TO HAVE SHIPLAP INSTALLED ON THE ROOFDECK. THE MODERN STANDARD IS TO RECOVER THE SHIPLAP WITH SOLID PLYWOOD SHEETING.
|
|
|
 |
NOW THAT THE OLD MEMBRANE HAS BEEN REMOVED, IT'S OBVIOUS WHERE THE LEAKS OCCURRED. THE SHIPLAP DECK WILL DRY QUICKLY, WHEN EXPOSED TO THE AIR.
|
|
|
 |
THE COLOR CHOSEN FOR THIS HOME WAS [METALIC SILVER], TO REFLECT THE HEAT IN THE SUMMERTIME.
|
|
|
 |
IT TOOK 4 DAYS TO INSTALL OUR TRISTAR SNAPLOCK ROOFING PANELS.
|
|
|
 |
THE BASE OF THE CHIMNEY IS WRAPPED IN SOPREMA PEEL AND STICK. WE ARE CUTTING A SLOT INTO THE MORTAR JOINT, TO RECESS OUR FLASHINGS.
|
|
|
 |
THE OWNER REQUESTED THAT THE CHIMNEY BE PERMANENTLY CAPPED OFF. NO PROBLEM.
|
|
|
 |
WE INSTALLED OUR METAL PANELS ON THE SIDEWALL, WHICH IS AN AREA THAT HAD LEAKED IN THE PAST.
|
|
|
 |
MR. WONG LOVES HIS NEW METAL ROOF. HE BELIEVES THAT HIS HOME IS A MUCH WARMER NOW IN THE WINTER, AND COOLER IN THE SUMMER.
