What Is The Proper Way To Install Metal Roofing?
My neighbor installed her metal roofing on her new garage, 10′ from my house, using strapping that was nailed to the roof rafters with no plywood backer. Now the temperature changes make the stuff pop when the temperature increases or decreases and I get to listen to that. It sounds like somebody is remotely locking and unlocking a car door and louder! What can I do about it?
Don’t kill the messenger…but I’m afraid it’s a noise that you may get very familiar with, due to the roof being improperly installed.
There should have been lathe strips attached to decking substrate and then the metal attached to the lathe strips. In all reality a felt underlayment on the decking before installing the lathe strips would also have been recommended.
My husband and I have run a roofing company for 20 years and we have NEVER gone down to the rafters for a metal roof. The metal will continue to bow and flex with all weather changes. Sorry
I guess since there are many type of metal roofing.
As Per the manufactures specifications.
I never thought any thing like that would happen, LOL
very carefully and use thin workers they tire a lot more slower.
