What makes eco roof different?
Climate Controlled Roof and Attic Ventilation with 'Above Sheathing Ventilation'
DOUBLE STRAPPING IMPROVES a ROOFS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, ELIMINATES CONDENSATION & SAVES ENERGY
ECO METAL ROOFS ARE ‘DOUBLE-STRAPPED’ to TRUSSES or RAFTERS
Very few homeowners are aware that up to 60% of energy gained and lost from any home takes place through their roof, and a significant portion of the energy gained or lost is directly attributable to the type of roof system on the home.
For that reason, an ECO ROOF is double strapped and dual ridge ventilated to cycle fresh air throughout the roof and attic year round.
The 3 inch air ventilation gap created by the double strapping reduces heat transfer in to attics by up to 70% in Summer.
ADVANTAGES;
Above-sheathing ventilation improves the summer performance of the attic assembly and also reduces heat losses by night-sky radiation during winter. Those living areas that are usually too hot in Summer can be re-claimed and enjoyed.
2. CLIMATE CONTROLLED ROOF AND ATTIC VENTILATION
An ECO ROOF facilitates climate controlled roof and attic ventilation using a combination of concealed ridge ventilation and double strapping.
A concealed ridge ventilation system ventilates both the attic and the roof deck beneath the roof panels
How it Works !
In Summer, heated air beneath the metal roof panels is cycled between 80-100 times an hour. The heated air escaping from the ridge vent creates negative stack pressure at the ridge which draws cool fresh air in to your attic via the soffit's. This ensures that the temperature of your attic is always the same as the ambient outdoor temperature.
In Winter, a concealed ridge vent system creates way less air turbulence in your attic than traditional stack vents that protrude from the roof surface like the MaxiVent. Because a concealed vent system is integrated in the roof itself, it helps eliminate excessive air turbulence in the attic during Winter. Too much air turbulence disturbs your insulation's heat flux layer and results both in unnecessary heat loss and higher energy usage.
ADVANTAGES;
BENEFITS;
Concealed ridge ventilation means no unsightly external vent stacks spoiling your homes aesthetics or curb appeal.

ADVANTAGES;
- - Significantly improves indoor comfort levels and saves up to a 10% on your summer and winter energy costs
- - Self ventilating roof design eliminates condensation build up beneath metal panels PLUS improves both roof & attic ventilation.
DISPELLING THE METAL ROOF CONDENSATION MYTH
Don't be fooled by claims that interlocking metal shingles installed directly on to a roofs sheathing deck will prevent condensation build up beneath metal shingles . Its impossible to prevent condensation from forming beneath metal roofing even if there is only a 1/8 inch airspace. This is the reason that all metal roofing requires a vapor barrier. Whenever temperatures drop, the temperature of metal roofing drops simultaneously . If warm, moist air contacts this cool metal roof surface, its “dewpoint” is reached and condensation develops. Metal shingles do no ventilate this condensation and moisture away from beneath the shingles. Trapped moisture can potentially damage your roofs sheathing deck over an extended period of time because metal shingles use concealed fasteners that create hundreds of perforations in the vapor barrier as well as your roof deck. In Winter, this condensation freezes beneath metal shingles and remains there till Spring.... imagine 50 winters!
KITCHEN COUNTER EXPERIMENT TO DEMONSTRATE HOW CONDENSATION FORMS BENEATH METAL SHINGLES
Fill a glass with water and ice cubes. Place the glass of water on your kitchen table. Position 3 coins in a triangular formation and use the coins to elevate your glass 1/16" off the table table. Within minutes you will notice condensation forming on the sides of the glass as well as under the glass. After 5 minutes this condensation will build up and precipitate on to your kitchen counter. What is happening on your kitchen counter is exactly what happens on a roof deck beneath metal shingles. The only difference is that a roof deck has a surface area of thousands of square feet while a glass has a circumference of only 3" inches
- -Double strapping means weight bearing load of new metal roof and winter snow loads is carried on the trusses- not the roof sheathing deck which tends to be less rigid and sags after multiple shingle replacements.
- - Double strapped metal roofs can be shimmed and leveled up to 4 inches. This is not possible with metal shingles.
- - Double strapping eliminates 1000's of perforations in your roofs sheathing deck and vapor system barrier . Roll form continuous metal panels are mechanically attached to a horizontal strap elevated 3" off the roof deck and dont compromise the roofing membrane or the roof sheathing
Above-sheathing ventilation improves the summer performance of the attic assembly and also reduces heat losses by night-sky radiation during winter. Those living areas that are usually too hot in Summer can be re-claimed and enjoyed.
