5V ridge and hip cap ?? | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 1/22/2003	we installed a 5v metal roof and the city inspector is asking us to install chalking under the cap. the cap doesnt sit flush with the panels, it has a 1/4" bend turned down. what do you think?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/1533/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 1/24/2003	I would refer back to the manufacturers' instructons. Some manufacturers do call for a metal Z Closure or a foam strip closure to be installed between the Vs of the panel. Putting sealant in there will accomplish the same thing (prevention of ingress for insects, wind-driven rain, etc.) but, depending upon the line of sight, it might not be real pretty.

Guest User 1/19/2004	Hi, I recently had a 5-v metal roof installed in my homel. My concern is with the screw fasteners, when you look at the roof from a few angles you can see the pattern, all the roofs in the area the screws are hardly visable. Is this normal? or did the installers fastened the screws incorrectly. please advise.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/1535/find/
Guest User 1/19/2004	It is not unusual for the screws to be visible, particularly from certain angles. Still, I suggest taking a picture of the roof surface and sending it to the roofing manufacturer for their evaluation.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/1536/find/
