Course Description: AEC Daily: 12 Ways to Recover an Existing Sloped Roof Using a Standing Seam Roof System
Metal roofing is often preferred for retrofitting a low-slope roof due to its durability, ease of installation, energy efficiency, and water channeling capabilities. This course examines why metal roofs fail, the types of structural standing seam panels, and the pros and cons of different methods for recovering an existing low-slope roof.
State the benefits of metal roofing that make it an environmentally sound choice, including its recyclability, durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance requirements.
Explain the reasons for metal roof failures and best practices to reduce the risk of leaks and extend the lifespan of existing buildings.
Define the three basic structural standing seam panels used to recover a metal roof and contrast their features and performance in terms of wind uplift capacity and weather tightness.
Summarize the various roof recover options and their impact on improving energy efficiency.
