    A How-To For Roll Roofing

    Roll roofing is a big task, sometimes too big for most homeowners. However, if you feel you are up to this task, then perhaps this article will help you. First off, be sure that the day you decide to install your roof is warm, because on cold days the material will become hard and brittle. You should lay the roll roofing out flat for a full day before installing it. This lets it get used to the feeling of not being rolled up and it won't pull up on the nails as much later.

    Different Types

    Before we get into the actual installation of the roof, let's talk about the different types. A common form of roll roofing in rural areas is called Mineral-Surfaced Roll Roofing, and it is covered on one side with small rocks and granules. It is mostly used on small buildings like sheds, barns, and farm animal pens. Another type is Specialty-Eaves Flashings, and this type of roll roofing is not used often.

    It is mostly used on eaves in geographic locations where icy buildups are frequent. The next type, Smooth-Surfaced, is pretty much self-explanatory. This type of is similar to the Mineral-Surfaced, except instead of small rocks it is covered with a smooth coat of ground talc. Smooth-Surfaced sheets are usually used to create an extra sealant wherever needed, usually on eaves. The last form is Saturated Felt, which is an underlying part between the material and the roof deck.

    Some Like It Hot

    Hot asphalt is not as easy as the cold installation method, but some people say it works better. The main problem is just that it's hard to handle hot asphalt and roll roofing by yourself, and for most homeowners it is just simply not worth it. However, cold installation of roll roofing has gained popularity, and you can buy this spreadable adhesive at most construction stores. Most cold applications can be spread out by a large squeegee and smoothed to perfection, and then the roofing section is laid down over it.

    Where Can I Buy Roll Roofing?

    The easiest place to buy the exact amount of roll roofing you would need for any specific job is your local hardware store. If you don't have a local hardware store, or you prefer to shop from home, Lowes.com and HomeDepot.com both have good deals on getting your roll roofing delivered right to your door. Remember to be safe when installing your roof, and be sure you are sure of what you are doing. Roll roofing is a difficult task, and it helps to have an experienced person there to help you.
