Black Standing Seam – HIBCO Project

Administrator — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 07:45:43 +0000

Hello There!! It’s been a while since we posted something fresh. Sorry =( We have been a little bit busy lately. I would like to introduce you to our recent collaboration with HIBCO Construction. This project featured almost every single option for a mechanical standing seam roof. Such options as integrated snow rails, double stage seaming, strapping, skylights, pitch change and many more. Let me break some of the features below:

Double stage seaming is a process of seaming metal roof in two stages.

This process requires twice more labor. But provides for finer roof lines and solid roof structure.

We installed standing seam metal roof over double strapping. Double strapping provides additional ventilation, insulation, eliminates any condensation, provides additional sound proof. As well as it improves overall health of the house. In our case it looked like this

Another outstanding feature of this roof is an array of skylights. Often skylight means a leaky area. In order to avoid any potential problems, we used no silicone or screws, but we folded and seamed all the parts of the skylight flashing.

Another interesting feature of this roof was a change in pitch. We made it without a single cut. Only folds and seams. Using this time and labor consuming technique, we provided our client with cleanest and safest possible way for their roof. No cuts means no leaks or metal deterioration. Please see for yourself.

Please check couple more photos from this project

Terra-Cotta metal tile roof with half-round gables

Administrator — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 00:46:52 +0000

Hello, Everyone. We just completed unique metal tile roof project.

This could be a simple little one except for one detail – it has half-round gable ends. There are few houses like this in Edmonton. Especially in older areas. No one could propose decent solution. But we found elegant one.

This is how it was half way through. Please note the framing we did. Strapping is required for additional ventilation, it levels any uneven spots on a roof deck as well as provides solid base for metal tiles

strapping

We replaced outdated exhaust pipes with modern Goosenecks. Installed snow stops all across the metal roof for protection at no additional cost. And now this house is living a second life. It will never see ice damps or mold. Proper ridge ventilation will serve to keep attic dry and cool in summer. Head turning appeal of metal tile roof will bring the cost of the property up. And every time customers will approach their house it ill welcome them with warm and pleasant view as well as 50 years warranty.

Renewable Roofing: Save Yourself, Go Solar

Administrator — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 01:44:30 +0000

Renewable Roofing: Save Yourself, Go Solar With the cost of living increasing year after year, Americans everywhere are constantly looking for ways to cut back and stay within a budget, so they can enjoy a comfortable life for years to come. Once you cut back on leisurely spending, you’re left with the task of finding ways to save on necessities, such as housing, transportation, and utilities. According to EnergySage.com, it’s not unusual for a family to pay about $1,856 annually for their electricity needs. Many households are offsetting this unavoidable cost with the help of solar power. Read on to find out how solar panels can affect your life and cash flow. Going Solar Saves Solar panels have become more accessible to residential homeowners in recent years due to technological advancements and lower costs. This renewable source of energy can reduce monthly bills without environmental impact, but it’s not for everyone. Depending on your local electricity rates, it could be years before you see the savings from your investment; however, more often than not, you’ll begin saving as soon as the installation is complete. For example, one month after installation, homeowners in San Jose, California, can save about $123.17 on average. After 25 years, homeowners will have saved nearly $40,000. The environmental conservation resulting from most solar system installations overshadows the financial savings. Before the homeowner is San Jose saves $40,000 at the end of 25 years, he will have cut out more than 100,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from the environment. That’s quite a feat for making no change to your life. In fact, the impact is so great that the Federal Housing Administration helps homeowners and buyers purchase energy-efficient homes or improve an existing home’s efficiency with the Energy Efficient Mortgage program and Energy Improvement Mortgage programs. These programs are designed to give borrowers higher loan amounts to cover the cost of solar panels and other updates, without increasing their down payments. The government is backing energy efficiency at the residential level, so there must be something to it. Besides, there are other benefits to owning a home with solar panels. Solar Specific to Your Home No matter the type of home you live in or the amount of power you’re hoping to achieve, there’s an option that will work for you. If you’re lucky enough to own or purchase a home with a metal roof, things just got much easier. Aside from the durability and eco-friendliness that already comes from a metal roof, installing solar panels is easiest with metal roofing. Any other roof does just fine, especially if it’s south-facing, but poses a set of challenges that bump up installation costs. Tile roofing can be fragile and break under the weight of workers. These roofs also tend to take more time to work on and aren’t cheap. Wooden roofing materials raise fire hazard concerns and are not an option for solar panels in some areas. There are many types of roofing materials and methods, but metal roofs are the most conducive, cost-effective option. Another benefit of metal roofing is that solar panels can easily be incorporated into the building’s design, making it blend seamlessly with the roof. You’ll notice this during and after installation. Installing Solar on Metal Roofing The easy installation of solar panels on a metal roof doesn’t mean it’s a DIY project you can tackle on your own. There are a lot of steps that have to happen before you’re reaping all the savings you can from a new solar roof. Some you can help, others you cannot. First, an assessment and design, request for any necessary permits, the installation itself, inspection. Once the proper authorities have verified the installation was correct, you can start saving. The entire process can last between two and three months, but the installation itself is one of the quickest parts, lasting only a few days. You’ll spend more time trying to gain an understanding of solar panels and their possible outcomes than is necessary to get them up and running. If you’re moving into a home with solar panels or planning on investing in them, then cash in on federal and state incentives. Do something for yourself and feel good about it. Image via Pixabay
