edin, actually, that's how our work is done period. If you are in the trades and want to work with crews who do it right - all the time, get in touch! Best to you!
guess TX is different than most projects and training. Copper development association and IBC would recommend flat seam copper. At minimum 1-1/2" DLSS with inseam and full coverage of bituthene underlayment. gutters are hung 2+ inches too high along the eaves.
Jim, thanks for your comments. I'm curious, what makes the gutters look too high? (We appreciate all learning!) Regarding the flat seam, we used it on the low slope roof,, a blind valley area in the shape of a triangle on the highest part of the second story. The designer chose standing seam roofing on this porch so the leaves would better flow off during heavy rains preventing a build-up of debris. This choice better serves our client's needs. In Texas, we go to great length to protect & keep beautiful trees.
@@Austinroofingcontractors outermost edge of gutter should be 1/2"-3/4" below the projected line of the roof slope draining above it. if leaf debris etc fill the trough, water will evacuate forward and away from the house. gutters mounted too high will have a dam effect, any back up will overwhelm the roof eave. worse in climate where snow and ice occur..
Maybe if you are using Z flashing instead of pinch seams. If a double locked seam leaks on a flat roof, it's because it wasn't installed correctly. As for the gutter, keep in mind you're talking about a half round gutter. They are designed to hang higher if the installer chooses and they do not hold leaves nearly as bad as K style gutters. The shape of the gutter allows debris and leaves to either blow out or flush to the downspout with ease.
Thanks for your comments, agreed, soldered flat-lock is great, we actually did that in the blind valley areas on top of the house, in Texas, standing seam is king! Currently doing a flat-lock in Zinc for Miranda Lambert's Austin Home!
@@Austinroofingcontractors I'm a metal man in the Northeast. Been putting on metal roofs for years. Worked with many materials, galvanised aluminum, zinc, copper, stainless steel. Great vid! Saw a few useful tips, thanks!
Well, it may be that you are needed in Texas. Let's talk about your expertise in detail. My email is gw@exteriorsbygarywhillock.com, if you know the right way - we need your expertise in Texas. I look forward to your reply!
He visto varios videos de esta tipo y no entiendo el porqué hacen los paneles a mano 🤔 es porque así los pide el dueño o la compañía así los vende o no se!!! Yo tengo 25 años de techero Laminero ok Laminero y también he echo techos redondos curvos cónicos planos y nunca pero nunca los hacemos así es el doble de trabajo y casi nunca usamos el monche porque el cobre se marca mucho
Are you kidding me🤣 you never folded the copper clip over the nail so it doesn't slowly pop up and wear threw the panel. Plus there should be 2 nails not 1. And what the hell is the caulk doing on a copper roof. Whoever paid for this job be prepared in 10 15 years for those nails to wiggle lose and with expansion all that movement will wear a hole in that panel.
If you really know roofing - we have a job for you, one you won't want to miss out on. My email is gw@exteriorsbygarywhillock.com I expect to hear from you soon! GW
@Austinroofingcontractors just noticed your comment. Are you kidding me? Why so I can show you the proper way to install a copper standing seam roof? First of all, I'm a union architectural sheet metal worker. I only except work from the Union. And by looking at that job I know your not union😂 so ill have to pass. Still looking for a reply to what I pointed out that your company did WRONG? If you need the proper information on how to properly install standing seam ill send you the links
Very poor design & workmanship on the copper. There should be no sealant involved. Please read the UK CDA Design Manual. The leading edge of the spouting is also installed way too high. I will come down and train your crew: send me an e-mail
Christopher, thanks for watching my video! You could be right - if we choose to stay in the past, sealants would not be used. If we choose to mix the old with the new, well, maybe we should open our eyes - see that things move forward and adapt. Not doing so hinders advancing towards the future! I call it “Progress”. Best of luck to you in your adventures of life!
That's not progress. The work is done wrong. Cleats single nailed instead of double, cleat nail heads not covered by the cleat, insufficient cleating, pans and cleats bouncing around during seaming, pitch consideration not completed, use of sealant, etc. Insufficient side lap on the slate as well if your crew installed that. You owe it to your clients to get your crew proper training. @@Austinroofingcontractors
that's how copper work looks like when boss comes on the job site for 5 minutes

Love that half round gutter

Why didn't you do a 1" flat lock seam at the overlap? Also, I didn't see any soldered joints anywhere, caulking eventually fails.

Why would you put a horizontal seem there? Should have ran the panel in one piece.
Brady, thanks for watching our video and your question. There are no horizontal seems, only the low section was copper, the rest is slate.
Brady, thanks for your question, we only have a horizontal seam where the slate meets the copper.
Very clean and professional. What kind of sealant were you using?
We recommend elastomeric polyurethane sealants for copper. Thanks for watching!
why you guys didn't use gloves????? that's is not professional job
