Metal Roofing
by Practical Roofing
In commercial and industrial environments specialist roof systems may
sometimes be required, for example, over lift shafts and entrance ways.
Many are pre manufactured as plastic coated flat panel steel roofs with
integrated guttering and rainwater goods.
At Practical Roofing Birmingham, our expertise allows us to efficiently install these
individual and often bespoke systems with a high degree of care and full
compliance with technical specification.
Cut Edge Treatment
When the cut edges of coated metal cladding and sheeting are subject to
exposure to the elements for long periods of time delamination may occur,
meaning that the factory coating can peel back exposing the untreated metal
underneath. Treating the edges of Sheeting will prolong the life of the
existing metal cladding preventing any or further corrosion. Our specialist
treatment comes with a long-term warranty.
Our cut edge treatment consists of thorough cleaning and preparing of
the corroded area, followed by the application of the coating system.

Composite Panels
Composite panels are a three layer system. Consisting of a top sheet
(the surface of the roof), the insulation layer and, the liner sheet which can
be seen from the inside of the building. Wall cladding can come in a variety
of various panel types that offer different profiles, colours, finishes and
styles.
Eaves Detail Of Composite Panels
Various styles of cladding are in and these are available in a variety
of colours and finishes although there is a standard colour range.
Standing seam roofing, unlike a traditional pitched roof, has each sheet
fixed to the buildings structure in one length. Standing Seam Roofing was first
seen on large retail and industrial units, but is now increasingly used on
smaller new builds; it has become an established style over the last decade.
Curved roofs also use the standing seam method and are fixed in
much the same way as built up systems with a internal layer fixed in place
first, followed by support brackets. The top sheet is often aluminium lending
the roof a metallic & modern appearance but may also be specified in steel
which can be prove to be a cost effective option in many cases.
