PAINTING VS RE-ROOFING

January 14, 2021/in News /by admin

The roof is undoubtedly one of the most important parts of any building, provides protection against the elements and harsh Australian climate. After years of constant exposure to North Queensland weather, your roof will eventually need to be repaired. Re-roofing involves removing areas of the existing roof and creating a new one. Existing structural supports may be used with the new design, saving you money on labour and materials.

Disadvantages of Painting

  • With painting no structural upgrades including extra battens and cyclonic tie-downs upgrades
  • No Building Certifications Form 21
  • No possible reduction with Insurance premiums
  • No 25-year warranty
  • You may pay 60% -70 % cost of a new roof without receiving structural upgrades or insulation
  • Painting May seal the laps trapping condensation causing sweating to reduce life span with the roof

Advantages of a New Roof Replacement

  • Peace of mind
  • Installation with licensed contractors
  • Building certification Form 21
  • 25-year warranty on materials
  • Structural Upgrades to the cyclonic Australia building code
  • The installation of the insulation under the roof sheeting R3.0 System
  • As well the insulation abilities also stop condensation in ceiling space
  • Usually additional cost are 30 to 40% above painting for 100% investment

CAUSES OF LEAKING ROOFS

January 14, 2021/in News /by admin

Protect You Home From Further Damages

Leaking roofs can be a cause of serious damage. In many cases, it is the result of too much water in one spot, eating away at the materials. One detail that most people don’t realise about water damage is that once it becomes visible, you need extensive roof repairs. Moisture and water only become visible once it has collected, and that means there is a lot of it already.
A leaking roof means that the water has managed to find its way through the material. Sometimes, part of the challenge of either a tile or metal roof repairs or replacement in the event of a leak or water damage is finding the crack. Due to fluid dynamics, it is possible for the crack or leak to be nowhere near the visible indication.

Causes of Leaking Roofs

  • Rusty roof
  • Lead head nails the head falls off
  • Skylights age and maintenance
  • Debris blocking flow of roof
  • Gutters blocked and rusted
  • Repaired with Dissimilar metals (create a reaction)
  • Storm Damage
  • Break down silicones
  • Detrimental effects can cause
  • Ceiling damage
  • Walls
  • Furniture
  • Mould
