Choosing the Right Underlayment Material for your Metal Roof
Metal roofing underlayment is a layer beneath your standing seam which is intended to produce optimal roofing system to the entire building. It should be carefully selected in order to ensure proficiency. Therefore, there are several considerations that must be addressed including your location, insulations, and barriers. This affects the long term service of your metal roof and the ambient condition. Improper selection and installation can lead your residential home into devastating condition particularly leakage and moisture entrapment that can deteriorate the quality of your roof overtime. Hence, you have to be aware of what kind of underlayment you are going to need prior to your metal roof.
Underlayment for Metal Roof
Moisture problems are pretty much common whatever type of roofing materials you are going to use. The same issue with installing a metal roof, if your deck roof or there could be a chance where water droplets drops to your forehead, this mean that your roof has a condensation issue. Remember that installation of underlayment product must allow the moisture come up through it and not allow the water molecule the get through it. The idea is like a sock which brings the moisture out.
“What matters is the type of underlayment sheet should be effective.”
The Felt underlayment may resist to air and moisture vapor, but not an effective air barrier. Also, keep in mind not to use button cap nails because these materials have a plastics which can eventually make those nails up. Preferably coil nails are better options for your roofing underlayment system.
Synthetic underlayment sheets on the other hand are less sensitive to cold weather but generally do not qualify as air barriers. But, it is less susceptible from wind damages and wetting after installation.
We Alpha Rain Incorporated strongly believe that the name of the brand or the product when it comes with underlayment sheet is not quite necessary, what matters is the type of underlayment sheet is effective. We try and test the products and see if they work well.

If you are considering installing metal roof for your home but does not have an idea what to opt for makes you anxious how to decide. When it comes with metal roofing materials, there are wide ranges of option available. Naturally you’ll be overwhelmed because of so many options. Why? It is basically because changing a roof is not something we do often. Designs, ventilation systems, coating and types of metal will vary depending of your budget. Eventually, it is a onetime expense which has a lot of benefits for such a long time.
Expenditures
We cannot deny the fact that upgrading your traditional asphalt shingles roof into metal roofing is costly. But, if you are going to see the big picture, you’ve actually minimize the expenses of repairs and maintenance. Since metal roofing system is durable enough to withstand all types of weather, it is certain that such roof will protect you and your family against hurricanes and snowstorms. In fact, metal roof can be very durable which are capable to last for more than 80 years. Your house is protected from bad weather and can handle gusts up to 140 miles per hour. The cost of having a metal roof can be very expensive buy a great investment in the long run.
Noise
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Does it make a lot of sounds when it rains? This is one of the most common questions by lots of customers. Probably you worry about the noise as rain falls since metal is a sound conductor material. But, this depends on the quality of metal roofing contractor. Some metal roofing contractors northern Virginia, developed a metal roofing system which can prevent noises using a certain insulating materials. Keep in mind that metal roofing is ticker compared with other materials which prevent noises.
The principle is as much as the same of kicking a can. An empty can (container) make a lot of sounds, while if you are going to try make sounds with a can loaded with sardines, eventually it will not make a lot of noise compared with an empty can. A metal roofing system which is installed with no insulation will surely make a lot of sounds, while if a metal roof is installed together with insulation, the noises will eventually minimized.
Scratching and Denting
Other concerns about metal roofing are the tendency of denting and getting starches because of hailstorms. Hailstorm may damage your surface of being marred. But the good news is that, home insurance will take care of the expenses. Also, the warranty of your metal roofing could last for about 25 up to 35 years.

We, Alpha Rain Incorporated have been serving, installing and upgrading metal roofs in most part of Virginia developed our very own patented energy efficient ventilation system powered by Therma-Vent.

Energy Efficient System with Virginia Green Homes
Few years ago in some locations such as Northern New England, Mid-West and in the South, the metal roofing systems were used particularly for industrial and commercial buildings. But this time the standing seam metal roof has evolved from industrial and commercial to residential purposes. In fact, it is a modern architecture roofing system for homes as a premium choice. The quality is reliable and long lasting which makes all your money’s worth. Once the standing seam has been correctly installed, you don’t have to worry about further maintenance and repairs on the roof itself with the exception of having some flashing checked. This type of roofing system comes with several materials such as galvanized, galvalume, aluminum, copper, and zinc. There are also galvalume coated steel, cool roof energy star rated colors and designs.
Project
But you have to keep in mind; however, that metal roofing is not exactly a (DIIY) “Do It Yourself” project. In order for you to achieve a state-of-the-art roof, what you need is experience and a master in the trade. The job of Metal Roofing requires you to have a special training that takes years to have basic knowledge on the subject matter. Yet again, the experience can only be acquired by doing the actual project and working with other professional contractors who have been in this kind of trade for a long time.
Standing Seam Concept
A particular area is raised each time there is a joining metal roof panel which creates the structure of the roofing system that is called as the seam. These seams are connected to each other by way of the roofing panels being seamed together which allows the water runoff in the most fashionable and safest way. The standard seams are actually a part of the metal roofing panel themselves and cannot be ordered separately and should be installed by a qualified knowledgeable metal roofing installer that has more than just a few year experience.
Metal panels
In order for a properly installed metal roofing system moisture needs to be addressed and considered. You will need to make sure the qualified installer installs a vapor barrier beneath the metal roof. The vapor barrier needs to be able to breathe allowing the vapor from the moisture that is made by condensation of the metal roofing to escape. This vapor barrier will create a protective underlaymentunder the roof which preserves the longevity of the metal and keeps any unwanted moisture off of the roof decking. In addition, this makes sure that your roof can withstand all kinds of weather.
Metal roofing system are becoming more and more popular particularly for residential homes since this kind of roofing material is durable and looks good. It is a cost-effective roofing system and eco-friendly.

We are AlphaRain.com @ (540) 222-1642. We didn’t know the true answer so we conducted an experiment. We recently installed a roof ventilation system that had soffit vents but not a lot of ridge vent. There was about 25% of the total ridge that was vented and then there were two gable vents at either end of the main gabled roof.
We took the attic air temperature on a sunny 88-degree day at 2 PM. In the middle of the attic at the peak, it was 150 degrees. At either end close to the gable vents at the peak, it was 129 degrees.
We then installed the roof in such a way that as air escaped through the full length vented ridge vent cooler air was drawn in through our unique vented eave vent.
Here are the results:
Date: Saturday 9/6/14
Time Outside Temp Attic Temp
12 noon 86 100
1 PM 89 105
2 PM 90 114
3 PM 90 114
4 PM 86 112
5 PM 83 104
As you can see by only ventilating the attic properly we reduced the attic air temperature by 36 degrees.
Keep in mind the standing seam metal roof was not a light colored standing seam metal roof but an Antique Black color.
Watch this video to see how to reduce it to 103 degrees with the Roof Ventilation System.

We recently installed an attic and under roof ventilation system on an unvented asphalt shingle roof. This metal roof had neither soffit vents or a vented ridge vent and when it was 96 degrees outside it was 150 degrees in the attic. The challenge was how to vent the roof and attic without the cost of adding soffit vents. We added our ventilation system over the existing roof, saving our landfills from more asphalt shingles, and saving dollars for our customer. In our next post, we will share the incredible results from this amazing automatic natural ventilation system.
