" now these boxes the president of the metal roofing alliance and Dick this is pretty quick in beautiful way to put these. Rooms down what's what's this one called. This is not court multiplied the current. Five V -- and that's because it's crimped five times to it either side once in the middle that's correct and the -- on the side will overlap. These here -- okay this is a steel roof but there's more to it than just rolled steel right that's correct that's the flu like gauge steel product that's coated with a galvalume coating and then painted. With any kind are -- paint coating that's what gives it color now in the olden days when you saw a roof like that it was painted with. -- And it was usually on a barn roof very often -- and residential -- CNET a lot different parts of the country especially here SE and also in the northeast in Maine we have a lot of snow loads because this roof will shed the snow really quickly right. Now tell me about the cost of a roof like this is it much more expensive. That asphalt shingles. Typically a five V crimp is more expensive than national shingle roof however you'll get 45 times more like about it to lifetime business that's right now there's also other advantages though from the point of view of conservation I understand it. This is usually made out of recycled metal and it can be recycled once again that's where as asphalt shingles unfortunately we put a lot of those into landfills every year that's correct there's about fourteen billion pounds going into landfills every year. -- national -- right now the didn't do they make metal. Roofing products in other configurations besides just sheets yes it's a -- available all different types of roofing including concrete tiles. Shakes slates Spanish tile. Different I've got a different looking shingles and the like. All right let's talk about the installation here is. This looks like this just regular caulking -- well no it's silicone implants the silicone caulk that they're put down Anemia in between the two things. And that primarily is a sealer or also -- he's. Primarily as a sealant. And then after they've put down a bunch of these sheets is when they'll start fastening -- with these. Awesome looking. Screws correct these fasteners -- Color coordinated with the metal -- and they also have a grounded washer. That prevents any type of leakage around that water filtration. Dick what's the recommended pattern for fastening. What this particular profile twelve inches on center sixteen inches off the slope. Twelve inches on center. Sixteen inches on -- on -- opposite slope IC -- creating a twelve by sixteen kind of grid now. How does -- roof like this perform in hurricane winds. This particular roof system. As well as actually all smaller systems. Perform very well. And high wind conditions especially. Well today I think the red is the perfect choice for this house. Now when you come to situation like here we have valley is this just a piece of that stock that's been bent over and trimmed or what is this that's a standard flashing -- film -- offer ICC order some of this stock. And it it'll just it's virtually muted in any valley in any pitch that's correct great. Okay let me double bodies you we'll tell us what are some of the other advantages of using a metal roof from some environmental issues around country -- fire hail and high winds snow loads. Not allow more -- room. -- fire in particular I would think -- places like. Oakland on California where you've had so many tragic fires that would be a real good reason for having a metal roof correct well Dick thanks for coming out thank you."
