Metal Roofing Installation

Steel and aluminium panels can be used in both new construction and re-roofing applications. It is recommended that the metal panels be installed over existing shingles and a vapor permeable membrance with vertical and horizontal wood strapping for proper ventilation. For roofing installations over spaced framing, that is exposed inside your barn or church, it is highly recommended to use a moisture membrane as condensation can occur. We recommend Drip Stop for this type of installation. Once the roof deck is prepared, covered with vapour permeable membrane and wood strapping; the starting flashing, inside hip, gables and valleys are installed first. Next the custom cut steel panels are fastened to wood strapping. The outside gable, wall flashing, ridge caps, end caps and snow guards are installed last. This allows for a proper watertight seal and prepares your roof for all four seasons.
Overall, each project will be unique. It is best to discuss your installation with your Four Seasons sales representative and project supervisor. They will explain each step and will customize your order to your liking.
