  • Metal-Roofing-Myths-A.B.-Martin.Pdf
    The Six Myths of Metal Roofing Debunked Debunked www.abmartin.net Myth #1 A metal roof is way more expensive than asphalt shingles Debunked Actually, corrugated metal panels often cost as much as 20% less per square (10’ x 10’) than asphalt shingles accessories like screws,. Before flashing, you get and too ridgeexcited caps. though, With remember the accessories that a included, metal roof a metal requires roof more can cost about the same as (or within a few hundred dollars of) a shingle roof. And considering that our premium and standard metal panels come with 40-year paint warranties (with many metal roofs even lasting over 100 years with proper maintenance), the savings over time makes metal a smarter choice. Read More. Myth #2 A metal roof costs more because it takes longer to install than asphalt shingles Debunked Debunked Sometimes, yes. But not always. Every roof is different. If we’re talking about a very complicated roof with lots of peaks, ridges, dormers, and valleys, then shingles might be faster to install and cost less in labor than metal roofing. But a standard gable roof will enable an experienced crew to install metal panels significantly faster than shingles, saving you labor costs. Read more. Myth #3 A metal roof is heavier than asphalt shingles Debunked No way. In fact, a metal roof is often over 50% lighter than asphalt shingles. So in most cases no additional framing is needed where shingles were used previously. Many roofers will even install metal over top of shingles to save you removal and disposal costs.

  • Sawing Sheet Metal Accurately with a Vertical Bandsaw, Version 1.0
    Sawing Sheet Metal Accurately with a Vertical Bandsaw, Version 1.0 By R. G. Sparber Protected by Creative Commons.1 I needed to cut a series of test samples out of 26-gauge sheet metal. The size was not important, but it had to have straight, parallel sides and 90° corners. My skill with tin snips was not good enough. After trying to perform accurate cuts with power shears and a power nibbler, I settled on my bandsaw in the vertical position. By using a fence and a “sled,” the coupons were fabricated. 1 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
