How to Install Corrugated Metal Roofing on a Flat Roof in the Philippines

 

Equip all the necessary stuff for safety

 

When someone is installing a roof, the first thing to consider it their safety. With that, the scene must have fall-restraint harnesses and safety lines for safety precautions.

In fact, as mentioned by Extreme How – To, it is smart to wear goggles when cutting, and gloves when installing or handling the sheets to prevent having any cuts from the metal.

Besides that, everyone is required to wear flexible rubber shoes that grip the metal when stepping on it. If anything bad happens, the person will be able to adjust as needed as possible.

Next, never, as in NEVER install a corrugated metal roofing in the rain. The reason for that is because when the surface gets wet, you’ll slip and fall without notice.

Lastly, never work with metal panels in high winds. When it’s blowy enough, the wind can carry an unfastened panel airborne, which can be very critical in all aspects.

 

Square the Edges

 

When you’re installing a metal roofing panel, the first thing you should do is make sure you’re doing a square.

It’s important to start square because if the first panel is tilted a little bit. If not, all the panels that come after are going to be tilted as well.

 

Cut the metal

 

Cut the metal with powered shears or an electric nibbler tool. Cutting the panels may be a little bit difficult, so use the needed tools to avoid complications, and for a smooth progress. As a matter of fact, nothing is wrong with using a good, old-fashioned material to make things easier.

According to Extreme How-To, cutting miscellaneous panels, trim, and flashing, compound snips are required.

A friendly reminder from us, make sure to cut the panels to the desired length.

 

Drive the screws

 

After cutting the metal, install the panels. Place them directly onto purlins that are attached to the roof. Following that, drive the screws or fasteners through the metal roofing, so they penetrate solidly into the framing.

If possible, please do nail in the valley between the ridges because it is closest to the wood.

 

Polish everything that’s needed before wrapping up

 

Walk towards the sides of the roof and make sure that everything is executed rightly.
