What Makes Up a Reliable Roofing System?

A reliable roofing system is made of different parts that work together to protect you and your family. Investing in resilient roofing is an ideal way to keep your home safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient.

Understanding Your Roof
To help you understand how your roof works, Crown Roofing LTD presents the different parts of residential roofing in Surrey:

1. Roof deck – This is the main base layer of the roof. It is usually made of construction-grade plywood. Its thickness is based on strict building codes. This component is important because it carries the weight of all other components and loads, like snow, rain, or ice.
2. Underlayment – This specially made felt or rubber membrane is installed over exposed roof deck. Modern underlayment materials are stronger and more breathable, prolonging the service life of the deck.
3. Ice and water shield – One of the important features in a reliable roof is its ability to withstand different weather conditions. This shield protects the roof from water damage. This is installed over critical areas like roof edge, valleys, etc.
4. Starter strips – The roof edge is a critical area because it’s more susceptible to uplifts. To protect the roofline, installing specially manufactured starter strips under the shingles is necessary.
5. Shingles – Shingles are the materials that cover the roof. Quality roofing materials offered by Crown Roofing LTD are from GAF and Owens Corning.
6. Flashing – To avoid water leaks through gaps, flashing made of metal or copper seals are used around vent pipes, chimney, or other protrusions.
7. Ventilation – Proper ventilation is important to prolong the service life of your roofing system. With proper installation, the roof’s ventilation can reduce temperature fluctuations in the deck.
8. Shingle cap – This specially manufactured shingle covers and beautifies your roof.
