Roof Replacement
The roof is the first and most important line of defence for your home. Damage to your roof can allow water to leak through into your attic which can cause damage to items, cause water damage within your ceiling, walls, and floors, and create health problems for your family by causing mould and mildew. Keeping an eye on your roof and practicing routine maintenance is the best way to keep running into these problems.
Before calling a PB Roofing, make sure you know the lingo.
Here are the components of the whole roof system:
Deck:
The wooden, structural surface of the roof.
Drip edge:
Material affixed along the edge of the roof to guide water off the eaves.
Underlayment:
A barrier is installed under the shingles to keep the deck dry.
Flashing:
Material affixed to seal and protect joints, such as where the roof meets the chimney.
Shingles:
The outermost layer of your roof repels water and protects the structure.
Soffit:
The underside of a roof overhang.
Fascia:
The horizontal board on the end of your roof’s rafters may hold the gutters.
Vents:
Features that allow air to escape the attic and keep your roof dry.
Asphalt Shingles
An asphalt shingle roof has flexible asphalt shingles as the ridge cap. Some roof shingles are non-combustible or have a better fire rating than others which influences their use, some building codes do not allow the use of shingles with less than a class-A fire rating to be used on some types of buildings.
Cedar Shake
There are two types of cedarwood roofing: cedar shingles and cedar wood shakes. Often referred to interchangeably, there is a difference. The main difference between cedar shingles vs cedar shake roofing is:
- Cedar Shingles are machine-cut and tapered for a trim, crisp appearance.
- Cedar Shake Roofing is hand-split, giving them a more rustic appeal.
Rubber Euroshield
EUROSHIELD® Roofing Products were created 20 years ago with the goal of diverting and recycling the tremendous deluge of used tires ultimately destined for landfills. Years of research and development led to the creation of a unique formula, containing approximately 95% recycled materials, for the production of the world’s finest synthetic roofing products available on the market today. From 250 to 1,000 rubber tires are used in the production of a EUROSHIELD® roof for an average-sized home. Scrap material generated during the installation process can be collected and recycled again – virtually eliminating environmentally harmful waste.
