We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
I would definitely go with full rubberized underlayment membrane for the entire roof for anything below 4/12 roof pitch. For the price difference it's not worth it to take a chance. Do you have municipal rules as far as material choices? Would they accept a dual layer flat roof membrane?
It is every bit as loud as you think it’ll be. That is first person experience speaking…fyi. I love our ss roof, but it makes a drizzle sound like a deluge.
Long run metal roofs are ‘standard’ here in NZ, we get a fair bit of rain as you may know. The majority are a brand called ‘Coloursteel’ and they tend to avoid as much flashing as possible. My place for example only has a little right at the peak of the roof and they way it’s layered means it’s a secondary protection anyway. They can be loud but most places now have insulation either in the loft space or directly under the steel and that really takes the edge off. I did recently have a weekend in an old converted railway villa that had minimal insulation and it was loud af.
