 Features Item : Technical Viewpoint: Metal Roofing Specifications
The metal roof system industry is not much different from any other segment of the roofing industry – there are those who try hard to provide tested and proven roof systems and materials, and those who simply don’t care if the system/material works or not, as long as they collect their money.
Just because a metal roof system is represented by the supplier as having passed the UL 90 test does not mean that the system was tested and listed by UL — a seemingly small point, but another major stumbling block in complying with specifications which stipulate that the system be UL tested and listed.
The purveyor of metal materials from which the roof system components are field-fabricated will assume no responsibility for issuance of a warranty on the roof system other than, perhaps, a warranty on the paint/finish on the coil stock or panel material.

Standard unvented roof caps were utilized for the two tile roof sections as commonly used in south Florida, and a manufacturer supplied ridge vent was used with the standing seam metal roof.
While the brown metal shingle roof's reflectance was somewhat lower than the weathered white tile and white metal roofs we observed evidence that the air space under the metal shingles provides additional effective insulation.
Note also that these roofs were 5 years old this summer and their surfaces are somewhat more weathered than was the case during the 1999 and 2000 test periods.

 S.R.C.I.
Most roof leaks can occur where water is channelled off the roof or where the roof abuts a vertical wall or chimney.  At these points metal valleys and flashings are used to assist the shingles or shakes in keeping the structure sound and dry.
The variety of mansard roofs is practically infinite.  One of the most widely used (and misused) roof designs, its proportions and scale are very important and care should be taken to avoid a mansard roof line that is either too skimpy or too generous.
Two of the most widely used roofing materials on the mansard roof are Western Red Cedar shingles and shakes.  Cedar shakes, with their heavier texture and solid appearance, are perhaps more frequently specified for mansards although shingles and shakes are also used, particularly when a lighter scale is required.
