What is Commercial & Industrial Roof Re-Sheeting
Commercial and industrial roof re-sheeting, often referred to simply as "roof re-sheeting," is a construction and renovation process that involves replacing the existing roofing material or sheets of a commercial or industrial building's roof with new materials. This process is typically undertaken to address various issues with the existing roof, improve its performance, enhance energy efficiency, and extend its lifespan without completely replacing the entire roofing structure. Here are key aspects of commercial and industrial roof re-sheeting:
1. Roof Assessment:
- The process begins with a comprehensive assessment of the current roofing system. This assessment helps identify the condition of the existing roof, areas of damage, and the overall suitability for re-sheeting.
2. Material Selection:
- Depending on the specific needs of the project, different roofing materials may be selected for re-sheeting. Common materials used in re-sheeting projects include metal panels (such as steel or aluminium), single-ply membranes (like TPO or PVC), modified bitumen, and built-up roofing materials.
3. Removal of Existing Roofing Material:
- In many cases, the old roofing material is removed or stripped away to expose the structural deck. This step allows for a clean slate for the installation of the new roofing sheets.
4. Repairs and Preparations:
- Before the new sheets are installed, any underlying structural issues or damage are addressed and repaired. This may include reinforcing the roof deck or repairing damaged insulation.
5. Installation of New Roofing Sheets:
- The new roofing sheets are then installed over the prepared surface. The installation process varies depending on the type of roofing material chosen and may include fastening, sealing, or adhering the sheets to the roof deck.
6. Insulation and Energy Efficiency:
- Roof re-sheeting projects often include improvements to the building's insulation. This can help regulate indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and lower heating and cooling costs. Enhanced insulation may involve the installation of additional insulation materials.
7. Waterproofing and Sealing:
- Ensuring the new roof is watertight and well-sealed is crucial. Waterproofing and sealing materials are applied to prevent leaks and water infiltration. Proper drainage systems may also be installed or improved.
8. Sustainability and Environmental Considerations:
- Roof re-sheeting may incorporate sustainable practices, such as using energy-efficient roofing materials, cool roofing solutions, or reflective coatings to reduce heat absorption and contribute to environmental sustainability.
9. Compliance with Regulations:
- Re-sheeting projects must adhere to local building codes and regulations. Compliance ensures that the re-sheeted roof meets safety and structural standards.
10. Maintenance Planning: - After the re-sheeting, a maintenance plan may be established to ensure the continued longevity and performance of the roof. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to prevent future issues.
Roof re-sheeting is a cost-effective alternative to complete roof replacement, especially when the structural components of the roof are still in good condition, but the roofing material itself needs improvement or replacement. It can extend the life of the existing roof, improve energy efficiency, and enhance the building's overall performance and protection.
