Roofs which are made from metal materials are strong and has the capability to standout against adverse climate conditions. In addition, metal roofing is lightweight which are much lighter compared with asphalt shingles. You might be thinking that since metal is tough, it weighs heavier.

“So, how much a metal roof weigh you asked?”

A single 26 gauge panel weighs only 0.88 lbs. per square foot. A 12 inches metal roofing panel weighs for about 10 lbs. While most people think about metal roofing is heavier compared to other materials. Yet, if you do the math and compare asphalt shingles over metal roofing, asphalt can weigh 5 lbs. per square foot a 4.12 lbs. differential.

Phone 540-222-1642 we are Alpha Rain The Metal Roofing Company.  Metal Roofing Warrenton VA has made a description of our metal roofing patented energy-saving ventilation system in the video below.  We want to talk about Warrenton VA and the metal roofs we are installing in that area.  We have been working on a new patented metal roof ventilation system that can save a lot of energy-saving by air movement and getting the hot air out of your attic along with the under roof ventilation system that keeps the hot air from entering your attic.  The test example that we did was on a house that had little or no ventilation no ridge vents no soffit vents, so we installed our ventilation system and had amazing results. 

In fact amazing don’t even get close to accounting for what the results really were, the attic temperature was at over 150 on a 96-degree day, and we installed our system and now that attic was 96 degrees at the base and 103 at the peak on the same 96-degree day.  There is nothing on the market that can claim or prove the same results.

We are AlphaRain.com @ (540) 222-1642. We didn’t know the true answer so we conducted an experiment. We recently installed a roof ventilation system that had soffit vents but not a lot of ridge vent. There was about 25% of the total ridge that was vented and then there were two gable vents at either end of the main gabled roof.

We took the attic air temperature on a sunny 88-degree day at 2 PM. In the middle of the attic at the peak, it was 150 degrees. At either end close to the gable vents at the peak, it was 129 degrees.

We then installed the roof in such a way that as air escaped through the full length vented ridge vent cooler air was drawn in through our unique vented eave vent.

Here are the results:

Date: Saturday 9/6/14

Time                                      Outside Temp                                   Attic Temp

12 noon                                                86                                           100

1 PM                                                      89                                           105

2 PM                                                      90                                           114

3 PM                                                      90                                           114

4 PM                                                      86                                           112

5 PM                                                      83                                           104

As you can see by only ventilating the attic properly we reduced the attic air temperature by 36 degrees.

Keep in mind the standing seam metal roof  was not a light colored standing seam metal roof but an Antique Black color.

Watch this video to see how to reduce it to 103 degrees with the Roof Ventilation System.

Does solar work and is it worth the cost is a question we receive often. Here is an application where the answer is a resounding YES! to both. As you can see from the photo below we installed in a small vented ridge vent 8-4″ DC powered fans.

We then installed a small 50 watt solar panel and attached the panel to the seams of the standing seam metal roof. There are no roof penetrations and the fans and solar panel are warrantied for 20 years. That’s at least 20 years of effective attic venting for very few pennies!

We recently installed an attic and under roof ventilation system on an unvented asphalt shingle roof. This metal roof had neither soffit vents or a vented ridge vent and when it was 96 degrees outside it was 150 degrees in the attic. The challenge was how to vent the roof and attic without the cost of adding soffit vents. We added our ventilation system over the existing roof, saving our landfills from more asphalt shingles, and saving dollars for our customer. In our next post, we will share the incredible results from this amazing automatic natural ventilation system.
