There are two types of standing seam metal roofing systems available in the market. The architectural system mainly gives an overall attractive look to the building and it can be visible from the ground level. On the other hand, structural standing seam metal roofing systems are very common on low-slope buildings because in this building no one can visualize the rooftop from the ground. The structural standing seam metal roofing system is more functional than the architectural system.

Metal roofing is very affordable and protects the house or building against natural phenomena. This type of commercial roofing also provides service for many years. According to research, more than two billion square feet of metal roofing is installed in the U.S. every year.

The Reasons Behind Damage

Though the metal roof is very long-lasting and affordable, if there is any leakage problem in the metal roof then it can damage the building elements and the structure of the building. In the spring season, you can check the entire roof system as in this time ice and snow melt off so you can see if there is any damage in the roof or not. The reasons behind damage are,

  • Thermal forces

  • Erroison

  • Interior compression

There is a solution to prevent these problems. You can install a PVC retrofit solution on your metal roof by professionals. Professionals will apply the insulation between the metal ribs for creating a level surface. After that, they will overlay the surface with another layer of insulation for providing a flat surface.

Based on the metal system, the PVC membrane is rolled out over the insulation and attached to the structure of the building. The other penetrations and vents and stack should be watertight with the prefabricated flashing.

Advantages of PVC Retrofit Solution

  • PVC retrofit solution can be installed over the existing metal roof, hence, there is no need to tear off the roof.

  • Professionals should apply the insulation to improve the energy efficiency of the building.

  • The insulation helps to reduce the moisture from the interior of the metal roof.

  • PVC retrofit is very economical than replacing a roof.
