4 Clear Signs Your Roof Needs Replacement
It is customary for a metal roof to go through waterproofing in Singapore. The country receives an average of 167 days a year. Singapore's tropical climate can hasten the degradation of metal roofing. Here are four signs that can indicate you should replace your roof.
#1 Paint Finish on Standing Seam Started Fading
On average, the standing seam paint has a 30-year warranty because of its patented Kynar 500 finish. If you notice that it started to show a lot of rust or discolouration, you should start considering getting a replacement for your standing seam metal roof.
#2 Paint Finish on Roof Panels is Damaged
Anything that damages the paint finish of your roof panels will shorten its lifespan. It can be caused by a few factors like falling limbs, tradesmen walking on your roof or painters using chemicals to clean paint spills.
#3 Fasteners are Wallowing Out
Screw-down metal roofs have fasteners exposed through the top panels. These fasteners get wallowed out due to their lack of expansion and contraction. It can be remedied by putting in larger sized screws if caught early. However, if you fail to catch wallowed fasteners, it can cause wall damage due to the leakage and would need extensive repair.
#4 Storm Damage to the Panels
Any damages to the integrity of your metal panels will lead to roof replacement. These can be caused by acts of God like storms and winds. It can cause large dents and scratches that can result in extensive roof replacement and costly leaks.
