Program Description:

Low-sloped through-fastened metal roofing can be a cost-effective alternative to standing-seam metal roofing. To avoid leaks however, literally thousands of feet of tape sealant and thousands of exposed fasteners need to be properly installed. This is one reason through-fastened metal roofs aren’t covered by manufacture’s leak-free warranties. And, as is true of all metal roofing, if insulated and not continuously sealed below, they can suffer from severe condensation problems.

This presentation reviews a large low-slope metal roofing project originally designed with standing-seam metal roofing but was value-engineered to through-fastened metal roofing, and ended up being litigated. Oh, yes, I’ll offer some tips to avoid these kinds of problems on your next metal roofing project.

Learning Objectives – Provide roof professionals a better understanding of the following:

  • Important differences between standing seam and through-fastened metal roofing.
  • What “approval” of building drawings as part of permitting means and doesn’t mean.
  • How casual review of submittals can be pointed to later as “approving” major changes.
  • What is “roll-over” ridge construction and why manufacturers strictly limit its roof slope.
  • Graphic examples of water accumulations in vinyl-faced batts.

Program offers one (1) CEH from IIBEC
