Your roof is your first line of defense to protect your business from the outdoor elements such as rain, sleet, or snow. While weatherproofing your roof can benefit you and prevent unexpected repair costs throughout the entire year, there are a few things you can do to weatherproof your roof before the fall and winter months to take extra precaution for your business. At ABR Construction in Nicholasville, Kentucky, our team wants to help you to weatherproof your commercial roof before the unpredictable fall and winter weather.

Using Sheet Metal to Weatherproof Your Roof

Our team at ABR Construction has over 40 years of experience in sheet metal fabrication, using sheet metal to its full extent on commercial properties and giving customers confidence in our work to protect their business. There are a few different ways to use sheet metal to weatherproof your building, and each will work to prevent leaks into your business.

1. Sheet Metal Gutters.

Gutters are a great way to direct water off your roof. Typically attached on the edges of a roof with a downward pitch, gutters work to collect rainwater or melted snow and direct it elsewhere so that it does not linger on your roof and cause damage.

2. Sheet Metal Downspouts.

Downspouts are vertical, pipe-like devices that connect to gutters to direct water down from your roof and into a yard, grassy area, or otherwise dedicated drainage spot. Downspouts can be constructed from sheet metal and attached to your building.

3. Sheet Metal Coping.

Coping with sheet metal is another weatherproofing technique that includes a protective covering on a wall to prevent water infiltration from above. Coping can be placed on top of a variety of roof materials such as wood stud, masonry, or concrete.

Benefits to Using Sheet Metal on your Room

In addition to its weatherproofing abilities, using sheet metal on your roof has many benefits that can affect the appearance, quality, and longevity of your roof such as:

• Aesthetics.

Sheet meal enhances the aesthetic of your building by providing a sleek and timeless appearance to your commercial roof. ABR Construction offers sheet metal in many different colors and offer paint finish warranties of up to 30 years.

• Quality.

Metal roofing adds commercial grade roofing quality to any type of building where it is installed. Customers who opt for sheet metal roofing will not have to worry about performance or protection of their business.

• Longevity.

Because of their incredible performance, metal roofs have an impressive longevity compared to competing materials, meaning you will not have to replace your metal roof for many years.
