Metal roofing panel reinvigoration

Here we go with the Roofing News again

This story here caught my eye, it is great and also pretty scary when you have to repair old buildings with lots of history like this, and I bet the team were definitely more careful than normal! But I’m guessing they are always careful anyway.

Nestled in the Columbia River Gorge, Tum-A-Lum Lumber Company has been a part of the small Hood River, Oregon community for more than 100 years. But when the owners realized the rapidly aging building needed a remodel, a new roof was not part of the initial plan.

Designers for the project initially thought patching and repairs would be sufficient for the 35-year-old, 17,000 square foot roof, however upon further inspection it was determined that the building needed a new roof. Early on, an entire tear off and replacement of the old metal roof was considered, even though it would have opened up the entire building to the elements.

They look pretty calm to me, I would be on my toes, speaking of Roof Repair, this is a service that we offer. If anyone would like more information on this then check out our services page here: rooferpromiddlesbrough.co.uk/services

I love to see new innovations within the roofing industry and of course the materials we use are typically at the fore front of advancement. This will be welcomed by all and we do hope that the newer materials will hold up stronger and for longer, we also hope this will be cheaper.

lets look at something very generous now, so lets head over to Grimsby shall we.

Funding will help pay for repairs to church roof

A HUGE grant from the Listed Places of Worship Roof Fund will help to save St Nicolas Church in Great Coates for future generations to enjoy.

The money – £58,400 – will be used to repair the roof of the south aisle of the village church, which had actually begun to move away from the rest of the building.

The Rector, Canon Peter Mullins, who has been based There for 16 years, explained: “We had wondered why water had begun to find a way in. The side aisle of a church is structurally only a lean-to, albeit a mediaeval one but that’s not unusual.

Another old building getting a new roof. I think we do need to look after these old buildings as they are part of our heritage and history so this is welcome news from me and I hope the roofing company that get this job do a sterling job which I am sure that they will and this is definitely one for their gallery!

Solar Shingles! Love it.

Solar shingles are now gaining increasing traction in the renewable energy landscape. They are architecturally distinctive, more so than traditional rooftop photovoltaic panels. Solar shingles provide an integrated building product providing both roofing security and solar electricity in one package.

I am a big follower of all things solar, especially solar roofing so I love to hear stories like and the innovation within the solar industry seems to be speeding up. About time too, we really need to look at being more sustainable so this is a big help as pretty much everyone has a roof and I believe everyone will have a solar roof in the next 10 to 20 years in the UK.
