Metal Roofing Alexandria VA

We have created a patented Metal Roofing Alexandria VA. We tested the temperature and it was 96 degrees outside and 150 degrees in the attic, then once we installed the ventilation system it was 96 degrees outside and it was 103 degrees inside the attic at the top and 96 degrees inside the bottom of the attic. This system is the most energy efficient under roof ventilation system in America.

These results have never been seen on a system that is affordable. We have been researching this type of ventilation system for over 10 years and the biggest problem of the systems from the past was the cost involved in installing it. Most of the past systems use a counter batten wood system, which while it may get some results the cost is way out of hand, plus you are using a lot of natural resources that with our newer under metal roof ventilation system you do not have to use.

We have been installing only metal roofing for over the last 15 years. Our crew has been with us for over 12 years. We custom made all the panels and flashing on site to custom fit your roof layout. Our goal is to provide you with the last roof your house will ever need.

Alpha Rain installs only the first-rate Metal Roofing Alexandria VA that possesses a 35-year guarantee on the Paint from Flaking or even fading by Sheffield Metals. Our company offers a low gloss matte finish prepainted steel roof in which increases energy Efficiency. Our firm is a part of the Metal Roofing Alliance as mentioned above, which is generally a tremendous site for getting more metal roofing resources. We are a family owned company, and we desire to have a high level of customer service.

Have you ever wondered how the vertical standing seam panels are lined up correctly on a gable roof? As you know a gable roof is a simple up and over roofline much like a small two-man pup tent is. In this case, you simply measure to the middle to determine how wide a panel to start with. Then you start at one end and install the panels one at a time working from one end to the other.

On a hip roof, it is much more difficult. If you look at a hip roof you will notice a that as the hip goes from the peak to the eave that each panel gets shorter until it ends. Therefore if you started at one end the panel would be so small that it would be impossible to know if it was correctly lined up until about the halfway point. Most metal roof installers make the panels and loosely lay them on the deck until they get to the halfway point. Then they get them lined up and start seaming them. This is still not very precise. As far as I know, we are the only installers that hand make a double male leg panel. We install this panel in the very center and then we install all the panels to the left and then start at the middle and install all of the panels to the right to make a perfectly aligned roof. As you can see from this photo the center panel is the panel we installed first. Then we installed from the center out all the panels on the left and right. The difficult part is hand make the center panel. Our installers excel at hand made flashing and you can’t tell the difference between their hand bent panel and the machine extruded panels.

Recently we were taking a training class so we could be certified for a certain manufacturer’s stone coated metal roofing. We were working on a mockup roof, seen below, and were being trained on how to do chimney flashing. We noticed they were using a 3 piece flashing instead of the single unit flashing we use. After the session, we asked if we could make the flashing we use so we could see if they would approve it. My son, Paul, and our foreman, Walter, made our flashing. After we installed it the trainer asked: “what else do you do that is different?” We showed him a whole variety of specialty flashing. He acknowledged ours were better but that he didn’t know of any metal smiths that had the skill to duplicate our flashing. We were pleased but not surprised.

What is a W Valley? On our roofs that we install they all have what we call a W valley, the reason this is so important is that the traditional valleys can leak. A W valley will not leak, in fact on over 500 metal roofs installed with W Valleys we have never have one leak, however on less roofs installed with a normal Valley, we have had many of those leak. We know better than most that normal valleys will leak. The picture above is a normal Metal Roofing W Valley, and the picture below is a traditional metal roofing valley. Take a look at the video I did showing samples of both and how the metal roofing fits panels fit into the valleys and the potential leaks that will occur on the normal metal roofing valley.

On March 12th 2014 we installed a new metal roof on a home located in Culpeper VA. Before we install our new metal roof, we needed to first remove the 8yr old tin roof that was put on the house. In the live video that we shot on the job site located below here, you will be able to see the tin roof and how we are removing it. You can watch the video below or click on this link to visit our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbrbCozStjs

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 roof. We will also show you on a digital photo what your home will look like with a metal roofing. We can even show you different roof colors so you won’t be guessing what color will look best.

Metal Roofing VA – Warrenton

Metal Roofing Warrenton VA we have made a description of our metal roofing patented energy saving ventilation system, 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 roof ventilation system that can save a lot on energy saving by basic air movement. The test example that we did was on a house that had little or no ventilation, no ridge vents, and no soft vents. We installed our ventilation system and had amazing results. Check out the video below to see what we did!
