Ventilation is an important consideration when installing metal roofing.
Metal roofs have returned from the olden days to become a popular roofing option.
If you choose to install the metal roofing over the old roofing materials you can create a base by screwing down 1x4 boards lengthwise every 2 feet.
If you wish to install metal roofing over your existing roof, the metal roof will most likely be raised over the existing roof by means of furring strips.
Metal roofing can often be installed over an existing roof, if not, the old shingles will need to be removed first.
The most popular types of metal roofing include standing seam panels, flat lock panels, individual overlapping tiles, or panels that have the appearance of Spanish tiles.
Metal roofing usually comes in sheets or multi-shingle panels, although single shingles are also available they are usually more time consuming to install.
Walking on Metal Roofing is difficult and dangerous. A metal roof is slippery and becomes even more slippery when wet.
While metal roofing is one of the most light-weight roofing materials available, the panels or sheets can have very sharp edges, and wearing gloves while handling the pieces is recommended.
Steel is stronger, pound for pound, and thus less weight is used for metal roofing.
