Metal Roofing Fasteners

These are the two metal roofing fasteners we recommend

Undoubtedly, the proper metal roofing installation begins with the use of the right equipment, starting with the screws used to anchor your panels to the structure. Waycross Roofing Products recommends using metal self-tapping screws with thin washers that have been properly compressed to ensure a secure seal.

First and Foremost, why screws?
Screws will not bend like nails when exposed to heat nor will they work themselves loose like a nail would during normal expansion and contraction that occurs with your roof.

Subsequently, you must make sure you are placing the screws in the appropriate place for a tight fit, but definitely never over-tighten.

As a final note to homeowners thinking of doing their own roofing, Waycross Roofing Products advises screws be installed down inside the flat of the panel and not on the top of the rib. This is important. as placing a screw in the top of the rib will prohibit a good seal. If placed on the top of the rib, the screw may also potentially tilt, thus stretching the screw hole. Consequently, when this hole stretches and gets bigger than the washer, and finally the seal is then broken.

Roofing Battens

Roofing battens or battening 12 ft lengths

If you’re putting a new metal roof over an existing roof such as shingles, you will need roofing battens. These can also be known as battening, or roofing laths. Despite their name, they’re used to providing the fixing point for the new metal roofing. The Roofing battens are applied horizontally.
