Under roof and attic ventilation system for asphalt shingle roofs by Alpha Rain Roofing [540-222-1642]

http://www.alpharain.com

We recently installed an attic and under roof ventilation system on an unvented asphalt shingle roof. This roof had neither soffitt vents or a vented ridge vent and when it was 96 degrees outside it was 150 degrees in the attic. The challenge was how to vent the roof and attic without the cost of adding soffitt vents. We added our ventilation system over the existing roof, saving our landfills from more asphalt shingles, and saving dollars for our customer. In our next post we will share the incredible results from this amazing automatic natural ventilation system.

Fairfax Roofing

http://www.alpharain.com

We’ve began installing our patented energy efficient ventilation system for shingle roofs throughout the Fairfax Virginia area.  Previously, this type of roofing system we only installed in our Metal roofs.  But due to the high demand for energy efficient roofing in Fairfax Virginia, we’ve begun installing these new systems for customers in the Fairfax area.  Why choose our system?  Homes that our roofs are installed on typically notice the temperature in their attics dropping 25-30 degrees! Imagine what a difference this roof will subtract from your overall heating and cooling bill each year.  Give us a call at (540) 222-1642 or visit us on our website at: http://www.alpharain.com

Latest Innovation on our smart cool roof system by Alpha Rain Roofing [540-222-1642]

http://www.alpharain.com

In our last post we shared our first version of a self ventilating cool roof that automatically vented the hot air through a custom vented ridge vent and replaced it with cooler air through a custom eave vent.

The photo below shows our latest improvement that not reduced the labor cost but also introduced a thermal break as well as a radiant barrier. This latest improvement not only addresses all 3 ways heat is transferred, it works on any roof style including asphalt shingles.

First installation of a ventilated roof in Northern Virginia by Alpha Rain Metal Roofing [540-222-1642]

Our first attempt at installing a ventilated standing seam roof worked great but was very expensive and labor intensive. As you can see this prototype started with a bubble foil bubble insulator and then a cumbersome wooden counter batten system Even though it really cooled the interior of this historic renovation on this converted barn it was labor intensive and expensive.

In our next post we will share with you our next step in the development of our self ventilating roof system.

Copper Roof Solution Alpha Rain Metal Roofing [540-222-1642]

http://www.alpharain.com

In our last post we left you with our challenge on how to install this particular copper roof. As we noted we had a curved convex deck and a curved or convex hip as well as wider panels that our pan machine could make as well as a single lock hand crimped 1″ standing seam application. The solution was pretty simple: we unpacked all of our hand tools from generations gone by and attacked the problem like our tinsmith forefather’s would have.

Here’s the results: these hand made panels are hand formed, hand crimped and curved using a tool similar to the tool used on the male end of downspouts so that the panels are curved to match the deck. Simple right? I believe we have the best craftsmen in Northern Virginia!

Standing Seam Copper Roofs in Charlottesville, Va. [434-207-5560]

http://www.alpharain.com

We were presented with a unique challenge while installing this standing seam copper roof near Charlottesville, Virginia a while back. This actually was a breezeway porch that connected the guest suite with the main house. The challenge was that it had to match the existing single lock panels on the rest of the house and the panels were 22″ wide. Sense no rollformer can make a single lock panel that wide we had to hand form all the panels. The roof also was convex so all the panels had to be hand crimped. As you can see the hand crafted deck also had convex hips for the final challenge. In our next post we will show you how we overcame these challenges.
