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.

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.

Take a look at the video below, you can also contact us by phone at 540-687-0603 or by email info@alpharain.com or AlphaRain.com

South Merrimac VA Metal Roofing

We are Alpha Rain the Metal Roofing Company and can be reached at 540-222-1642. This video is made for the South Merrimac VA Metal Roofing. We are the metal roofing company alpha rain. I wanted to show in this video our exclusive ventilation system for metal roofing. We have made remarkable strides of changing attic air temperatures of high 150 degree temperatures to 103 degrees when the outside air temperature is only 96 degree.

Ten years ago we ran into several problems with homes from the 1700 and early 1800s that had no way for any ventilation, or air to enter into the attic space. The stone or brick walls came up all the way where the roof started, and there was no overhang of the roof making it impossible to install traditional soffit vents. This is a problem with a lot of older homes that are 100-200 years old. We started trying to figure out a way to vent these roofs and we did find a way, we do that by allowing the air to go underneath our roof by way of the drip edge and a mesh for airflow. This was the start of our development of a system that is now leading the US in attic and roof ventilation bar none. We have installed this type of metal roofing system in a home in South Merrimac VA. Please check us out at AlphaRain.com or you can reach us at 540-222-1642

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.

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!

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.
