Snow Birds Warrenton VA Metal Roofing

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company Alpha Rain Metal roofing live video was taken from our place in Warrenton VA.  We are showing how Snow Birds Warrenton VA Metal Roofing work; in fact, you will see a standing seam metal roof that has snowbirds and one that doesn’t have snowbirds.  We will show and describe how and why they work.

This is an age-old question that we get from customers throughout Virginia, do we need snowbirds, if you do not know what snowbird are or do, they basically keep the snow or ice on the roof without it coming down all at once.  The video shows what happens once it has snowed and that they do work.  In Warrenton Virginia, you do need snowbirds.  This video was taken in the winter of 2014, and in the past winters, we have gotten enough snow that if it all came off the roof at once it would damage plants to hurt a person.  Safety is always best, we recommend that you at minimum put them at all the doorways where people enter or any places below the roof that people might be walking when snow or ice is on the roof.

 

Below we have our information and contact info, and also below that, I have a link to the Metal Roofing Alliance where you can find contractors, more than just us Alpha Rain.  We believe that competition will not be able to provide you products like are under metal roof self-ventilation system, optimized custom solar-powered fans designed for your attic and roofing system, but we leave it up to you the customer to decide your self.

Metal Roofing Charlottesville VA

Contact us at: 434 207-5560 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company. Showing the most energy-efficient Metal Roofing Charlottesville VA on a Standing Seam Metal Roof in Charlottesville, VA

Alpha Rain has developed a new innovative Energy Efficient Roof Ventilation system for Metal Roofs in VA, we are putting this patented roof on many homes in the Charlottesville VA area.

Metal Roofing Charlottesville VA

There are 3 ways to transmit heat:

  • Direct heat transfer-think of a tea kettle on an open flame
  • Convective heat transfer- think of a turkey in an oven where the hot air cooks the turkey
  • Radiant heat transfer- think of popcorn in a microwave

Our new Radiant Therma Vent roofing system addresses all three. The Radiant Therma Vent panel acts as a thermal break to stop the direct heat transfer. The air ventilation we introduce into the radiant Thema Vent system stops the convective heat transfer by ventilating the hot air out of the ridge and pulling in the cool air from the eave area. This system even vents the hot air from the attic. The use of a Radiant barrier stops the radiant heat transfer. This radiant barrier is so intelligent that in the winter it stops the radiant heat from leaving your house!

This system is only available from Alpha Rain, your metal roof specialist. We will be happy to show you a prototype of this system and actually take apart a portable mock-up of a section of the roof. We will also show you on a digital photo what your home will look like with a metal roof. We can even show you different roof colors so you won’t be guessing what color will look best.

Metal Roofing Chimney Flashing in Leesburg Virginia

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  We are the metal roofing company alpha rain this video is for  Leesburg VA. I will show you how normal chimney flashing is and what a riglet chimney flashing is and how it will not allow leaks from happening. A good roofer knows what a riglet is and how to install them around chimneys and other wall flashing.  Unfortunately, that is not a lot of roofers around that are good roofers, because out of all the roofs that we inspect and reroof I would say that only about 5% have a riglet for flashing.  A Riglet is when you actually will cut into the stone or brick and inch or more and then tuck your flashing into it, instead of taking the metal flashing and putting it right up to the stone or brick and then applying the caulk, basically using the caulk as glue.  That only works for about a year or two in some case, and a little longer if you are lucky.  Once the caulk pulls away which will happen then the water every time it will leak will run down behind the flashing and you start seeing leaking at those locations.  When you install a riglet

Leesburg VA Metal Roofing Radiant Barrier

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company. This is for Leesburg VA and I will show you what a radiant barrier is and what the function is and why it is important.  A radiant barrier only works if you have an air gap, without an air gap the radiant barrier will not work.  We have been using a radiant barrier for a long time now, and it is the only way to go if you are trying to radiate the heat out of your attic or roofing system.

We use it in our under roof ventilation system that we have created and it works very nicely reflecting all the radiant heat, but it works even better when you have airflow and a thermal break.

Leesburg VA Metal Roofing W Valley

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  This is for Leesburg VA Metal Roofing W Valley I will show you what a normal metal roofing Valley is and what a normal metal Valley is and why W Valleys are so important to stop leaks from occurring.   We had some problems with leaking in valleys on the normal traditional valleys.  The average age house we work on is over 100 years old, and most of the time they have standing seam tin roofs that are normally 80-100 years old, and in one case even 120 years old, so we are able to learn from what the old tinsmiths did a century ago.  One day we were removing an old tin roof and found that they installed a W Valley.  Now we install W valleys on all of our metal roofing applications and installations.  We have never had a W Valley leak ever, and we also do not know of any metal roofing installer that installs a W valley, if you have a normal valley installed it will most likely be ok until you have a roof of snow.  Snow will find a way in if you do not have a W valley, we know from experience.

Leesburg VA Metal Roofing Snowbirds

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  This is for Leesburg VA Metal Roofing Snowbirds and I will show you what snowbirds are and why they are important.  Snowbirds are made to keep the snow from falling off if you have a standing seam metal roof which is the most popular here in Virginia without snowbirds on the first warmer sunny day all the snow will fall off all at once.  This is very dangerous if the snow falls on someone or an animal.  In Leesburg VA you need to install snowbirds on any metal roof where any entrances are or people will be walking.  The next thing you need to keep in mind is gutters and bushes; if you have either then snowbirds would be a good idea. On one foot or more snow, you will have damage to both gutters and bushes.

Leesburg VA Metal Roofing Vented J Channel

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  This is for Leesburg VA, I’m going to show you have vented J channel custom handmade only by alpha rain.  Think about a ridge that has no place for air to escape.  What if the air cannot escape how can we call it a vented ridge?  The truth is it cannot and it will not allow the air to escape.  99% of all metal roofs do not have a way for the air to escape even though they have a ridge cap.  Most of our customer tells us that they have problems with heat it their attics, and the other customer normally don’t know how hot it gets in the attic, we will go into the attic take real-time temperature, which for any day that is over 85 degrees outside we test attic and the average is about 150-170 degrees.  If you do not have a vented J Channel for the ridge cap of your metal roof, the roof will not vent your attic at all, and that 150 plus degrees will stay in your attic.  By having a vented J Channel we are able to bring those attic temperatures down to 120 degrees with our premium system, and we can bring it down to the same temperature as the outside air temperature with our platinum system.

Metal Roofing Middleburg VA

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  We Alpha Rain Metal Roof Specialist are installing a Metal Roofing Middleburg VA.  I wanted to show what a double lock panel is and how it works, I will show what the metal roofing panels look like and how they fit together.

The reason we like the double lock panel so much is that it will not leak, and it can we installed on a ¼ 12 slope, which means it can be installed on a flat roof with a small pitch as long as the panels are single solid panels that run the entire run.  The double lock is what it sounds like it double locks by the metal turning into itself twice.  The older standing seam metal roofs that you see here in Virginia are all single lock panels.  Those were great metal roofing systems of their time, however, because everything was made by hand and bent by hand a single lock was the best that could be done for that time period.  Now with machines was are able to put a mechanical seamer on the seam and that is what double locks the panels together and it gives a straight line that looks completely informed.

Below we have out information and contact info, and also below that, I have a link to the Metal Roofing Alliance where you can find contractors, more than just us Alpha Rain.  We believe that competition helps us.
