Piffin: Need Additional Metal Roof Info
BilljustBill
| Posted in Construction Techniques on
Piffin,
Awhile back, I had asked about double layering R-Panel. You had mention that once there was a product that went in between the old R-panel and the new R-panel to both allow layering of the panels and that also prevented moisture/rust between the panels.
Could you help with what it was called or any similar product that would be used when overlayering hail-dented R-panel with identical new R-Panel?
What I’m trying to do is find a way to save the costs of labor for the removal of the dented roofing, yet have a new roof that would be better than the original.
Thank you for sharing,
Bill

Typically removing screw-down metal roofing is not a major expense. It comes up quickly using only a screw gun (or, if you don't care how much damage you do, a hammer) to remove the screws. There may even be enough scrap value in the old roofing material to make it a revenue-neutral event (yeeeech; can't believe that corpo-speak fell outta my fingers!).
Typical time to pull fourteen 17-foot panels is 1.5 man-hours if you don't want to damage them (ie: for re-installation). If you just want them off and don't care about bashing the steel at each screw with your hammer claws, cut that time by a third.

That must have been somebody else. My comment was negative to the idea or doubling up on metal roof

Another possibility is to screw down 1x4 across the old roof rib surface (perpendicular to the slope) and then screw down the new metal to that.
If anyone doesn't like the idea of setting the new roof on the old ribs, no problem. Run 1x4 down the flat pan of the metal (with the slope) and then the 1x4s across as previously described.
I like the idea of not removing the old roof.
