Metal Roofing Warrenton VA

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  Metal Roofing Warrenton VA has made a description of our metal roofing patented energy-saving ventilation system in the video below.  We want to talk about Warrenton VA and the metal roofs we are installing in that area.  We have been working on a new patented metal roof ventilation system that can save a lot of energy-saving by air movement and getting the hot air out of your attic along with the under roof ventilation system that keeps the hot air from entering your attic.  The test example that we did was on a house that had little or no ventilation no ridge vents no soffit vents, so we installed our ventilation system and had amazing results. 

In fact amazing don’t even get close to accounting for what the results really were, the attic temperature was at over 150 on a 96-degree day, and we installed our system and now that attic was 96 degrees at the base and 103 at the peak on the same 96-degree day.  There is nothing on the market that can claim or prove the same results.

Metal Roofing Solar VA

 Phone is 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  We have been installing metal roofing systems for over a decade; we have designed and created the industry’s leading ventilation system in America.  In this video, we are going to talk about how and why metal roofing solar VA with a standing seam metal roof is one of the best roofing systems for solar systems.

We want you are customs (even if you don’t use our company) to know the most you can about and have the best information when you make a decision in purchasing a metal roofing system or Solar System for your house.  As you will see in the video the main reason that solar is best installed on a standing seam metal roof is that you do not have to penetrate the metal roof.   When you install solar panels on a normal asphalt shingle roof you have to drill the screws right through the shingles, this can have some problems later down the road.  Then you also have to deal with the fact that most asphalt shingle roofs don’t even last 15-20 years now.

Arlington VA Metal Roofing

Phone is 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain the Metal Roofing Company.  We have developed a new Energy Efficient Roof Ventilation system for Metal Roofs in Arlington VA, we are installing this patented roof on many homes in the Arlington VA area. 

We started the research and development of this new product over 10 years ago.  Most of the homes that we work on are over 100 plus years old and what we were finding is that ventilation was a huge problem.  In fact, we found that most builder today and of the past have very little knowledge of ventilation or how it works.  We know what we know only by trial and error and hundreds of hours of research into radiant barriers, airflow by ventilation and dozens of other related topics.

Now that we have solved the problem of hot air being trapped in attics and fighting against your AC, we are researching other energy-saving advancements.  Take a look at our video and please check us out at AlphaRain.com or you can reach us at 540-222-1642

Metal Roofing Bealeton VA

Phone is 540-222-1642; we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company. This is a short video about metal roofing Bealeton VA, I will show our high tech patented under roof ventilation system and how it works and a model of a standing seam metal roof.  We have solved many hot attic ventilation problems with our simple system.

We have three lines of metal roofing installation systems.  The first is the basic install with no ventilation but with our exclusive, no leak W valleys and Diamond cut riglet flashing.  Our second is the premium install with all of the above and a custom drip edge to allow for air to enter your attic without costly soffit vents. Along with our custom vented J channel ridge vent (exclusively by us Alpha Rain), this will allow for the attic to vent, also the option to add on 10-20 optimized solar-powered fans spaced 4-5 feet.  Our last is the Platinum install system which had our patented self-venting under roof ventilation system with a radiant barrier.  We would need to show you this system in a person with a sample, which we would be willing to meet with you.

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.

Does solar work and is it worth the cost is a question we receive often. Here is an application where the answer is a resounding YES! to both. As you can see from the photo below we installed in a small vented ridge vent 8-4″ DC powered fans.

We then installed a small 50 watt solar panel and attached the panel to the seams of the standing seam metal roof. There are no roof penetrations and the fans and solar panel are warrantied for 20 years. That’s at least 20 years of effective attic venting for very few pennies!

On April 18th 2014 we installed a new metal roof in Leesburg Virginia.  This is the live video we shot from the job site.  Please give us a call at (540) 222-1642 to learn more about our amazing energy efficient metal roofs.  We have complete many metal roofing projects in Leesburg and we’ll soon be uploading some new videos from those projects.

Our first attempt at installing a roof ventilation system worked great but was very expensive and labor intensive. As you can see this prototype started with a bubble foil bubble insulator and then a cumbersome wooden counter batten system Even though it really cooled the interior of this historic renovation on this converted barn it was labor intensive and expensive.

In our next post we will share with you our next step in the development of our roof ventilation system.

In our last post, we left you with our challenge on how to install this particular copper roof. As we noted we had a curved convex deck and a curved or convex hip as well as wider panels that our pan machine could make as well as a single lock hand-crimped 1″ standing seam application. The solution was pretty simple: we unpacked all of our hand tools from generations gone by and attacked the problem like our tinsmith forefather’s would have.

Here are the results: these hand made panels are hand-formed, hand-crimped and curved using a tool similar to the tool used on the male end of downspouts so that the panels are curved to match the deck. Simple right? I believe we have the best craftsmen in Northern Virginia!

We were presented with a unique challenge while installing this standing seam copper roof near Charlottesville, Virginia a while back. This actually was a breezeway porch that connected the guest suite with the main house. The challenge was that it had to match the existing single lock panels on the rest of the house and the panels were 22″ wide. Sense no rollformer can make a single lock panel that wide we had to hand form all the panels. The roof also was convex so all the panels had to be hand crimped. As you can see the hand crafted deck also had convex hips for the final challenge. In our next post we will show you how we overcame these challenges.
