Why should I hire a roofing professional?
The roof protects the building from atmospheric influences. It consists of a load-bearing structure and a roof covering. According to the number of roofs, flat roofs can be single-pitched, double-pitched and multi-pitched. Depending on the climatic conditions and the type of covering, the angle of inclination of the roof planes is also determined. The slope angle is the angle that overlaps the line of greatest fall of the roof plane (the line along which raindrops flow down the roof plane) and the horizontal plane of the ceiling. The slopes of the roof planes are expressed in degrees or in percentages. The slopes of the roof planes are in the range of 1% for flat roofs, up to 85°. For covering the roof, it is necessary to seek the advice of an expert, in order not to have problems with moisture and leakage later. The experts will know best which cover to recommend for which roof slope.
What should be considered when covering the roof?
When covering the roof, it is very important to determine which covering corresponds to the construction of the roof. The maximum weight that the roof structure can withstand must not be exceeded. It is always necessary to put a lighter cover than the maximum recommended, because it is necessary to take into account the loads during external influences, such as snow drifts. Also, check with the authorities whether your facility is located in the city zone where the installation and renovation of the roof is prescribed according to the plan, from which you must not deviate.
What are the benefits of a newly covered roof?
A newly installed cover on your roof will refresh the look of your house, but it will also affect energy savings. Insulation on the roof is very important both in the summer months when air conditioners are used, and in the winter months when heating is needed. By covering the roof and insulating the roof, you will get cooler rooms in the summer and warmer rooms in the winter.
What preparations should be made for covering the roof?
Roof covering Before starting to cover the roof, you should prepare the ground for machines, tools and also for scaffolding, which you will need. It would be best to hire companies that have experts with experience with height works, because dexterity and experience are very important here. Also, you will need more people to lift the covers onto the roof. For the transfer of covers, machines with belts can also be used, but they are usually used for large buildings or buildings with several floors.
Which material is right for covering the roof?
The type of material depends on the slope, shape and durability of the roof construction. Tiles of various shapes and sizes are most often used, but you can also put tiles, concrete covers, tin covers, etc.
The time required to cover the roof depends on the size of the roof, the material used, the roof structure, but also on whether the roof insulation and protection against water seepage is done, or only the roof is covered with a specific cover.
How much does roofing cost?
The price of roofing also depends on the size of the roof and the material used. Also, the price may increase if you hire an expert, but in that case you will be safe and have a guarantee for the work done.
