Maintenance tips

3. Keep Different Metals Separate
• Avoid letting different types of metal touch the metal roof.
When certain kinds of metal come into contact with each
other, corrosion occurs and damages your metal roof.
• Whether it's some kind of decoration or an antenna, they
should not be rubbed against each other or even touch each
other for long period of time.

4. Do not neglect minor repairs
• If any holes or open seams occur, make sure that they are
repaired as quickly as possible. The longer they are left
unattended, the bigger the problem can become.
• You can close those tiny holes with roofing cement, but you
are suggested to hire a professional company to make such
maintenance for you.

5. Inspect the painting regularly
• If your metal roof is painted make sure to keep it updated and
in proper shape. This make certain that your roof give the
impression of being like fresh for a long period of time

6. • It also reduces the possibility of rust and improvement of
oxidation. Be careful when you select paint, too. Using one
that's not specially devised for metal can be a failure.

7. Hardware items maintenance
• If there is a need to replace screws, bolts or washers on your
metal roof, make sure to always use things made out of the
same kind of metal that your roof is made with.
• This is for the same reason listed above: chemical reactions
leads to corrosion of metals.

8. • Also, be careful to always only install screws and washers in
raised parts of the roof; doing it in low parts of the roof can
lead to pools of water which can eventually cause serious
damage.
• In a similar way, always watch out for pools of water. If you
see them, contact a roofing specialist to take care of them.

9. Check out for damaged roof panels
• A dented or damaged roof panel can often be straightened
out if you have access to the underside.
• Use a hammer by tapping the dented underside lightly to
straighten it out. If you do not have access to the underside,
or if the damage is substantial, it will be necessary to replace
the sheet.
