San Antonio Metal Roofing
Metal roof is a general term used to describe a variety of metal roofing systems. Your basic San Antonio metal roofing panel can be picked up at your local hardware store. These are commonly Corrugated or R-panel, which are a very simple system that are screwed down through the face of the panel with screws.
There are two problems with this type of roof that make them less desirable. Your roof will breathe with changing temperatures, continuously expanding and contracting the panels. As the metal roofing panels expand and contract, the screws stay tightly secured into the decking. As the metal moves in different directions, it pushes and pulls the metal around the screws causing the screw hole to eventually become larger, leaving an entry point for water.
The screws recommended by most manufacturers have a rubber gasket under the head to prevent water from entering. However, the sun will eventually eat these rubber gaskets up, allowing water to enter. For this reason, we often receive requests to have screws removed and replaced, or to have the whole roof sealed with a professional-grade roofing sealant. In our experience, this type of system is less desirable than a shingle roof due to the high amount of maintenance necessary to keep them water tight.
Standing Seam Metal Roofers in San Antonio
Standing seam metal roofs in San Antonio, TX have captured a lot of attention as homeowners desire a product that is beautiful, cost efficient, and will protect their home for a long time. A standing seam panel is flat with vertical legs on each side. Clips are used in this type of roofing system to eliminate penetrations in the panels. The clip runs over the vertical leg of the panel, down the side of the panel, and then flat onto the decking. Once a fastener clip is installed, it is screwed down to the decking to keep the panel from uplift.
The beauty of this roofing system is that the fasteners and screws are completely concealed after the next panel is placed down. Unlike the face-screwed metal roofing systems, you will not have issues with gaskets wearing out or enlarging screw holes in your panels that lead to leaks.
