Installing Steel Roof Panels

If you want to install steel over asphalt your best choice for installing metal roofing is to use a steel shingle system like the one shown instead of the more common and more expensive standing seam steel.

Installing steel roof panels. You are essentially sealing off the metal roof with this flashing and you need to make sure that is securely fastened. This is by far the most common way to install a metal roof. Take care the first piece is aligned precisely perpendicular square to the edge. Moreover a corrugated metal roof is highly durable and will last for decades.

The eave flashing or edging is just the steel metal strips used to cover the entire perimeter of the roof. Take your first sheet of metal and place it on the roof so that it overhangs the edge at least 3 4 in 1 9 cm. Now we can install our roof panels. Make sure the panel is square to the eave of the roof so that all of panels installed afterwards are straight.

Add the metal panels. You can use 1 inch nails for the installation of eave flashing. When you decide to install corrugated metal roofing you just need to make sure that you have the right materials. Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof line.

As long as the plywood under the shingle roof is in good condition this way can provide many benefits. Lay down the first roof steel panel squaring it with the mason line. Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it. Cut the first rib off leaving of rib on the first roof sheet of roof steel.

Next you are ready to install the metal roof. The roof panels are installed similar to the wall panels in layout. Always begin working at the point with the longest peak to eave distance. Along the fastening strip of the sl16 always use the pancake head fastener.

Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel. In a standing seam roof long single panels run vertically all the way from the eave to the ridge. Next put a screw into the fastening strip to keep it steady before installing the screws along the face.
