Metal over Roll

I have an older house with a very low pitch. The current roof is not leaking but is a 15 year old roll roof. I was thinking about installing a Metal roof on top of the existing roof. Any thoughts?		Guest User 2/26/2014	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/19284/find/
This could make a good application. You need to determine the pitch of the roof and then look for a metal roof suitable for that roof pitch. Most metal roofs can be used as low as 3:12 pitch and some down to 2:12. For roof pitches under 2:12, you will need a mechanically seamed standing seam. In no situation should any product ever be installed on a roof pitch lower than what its manufacturer recommends.

Metal works great here in the right application. Be sure to incorporate a slip layer between the two materials and deal with a qualified contractor.		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 2/26/2014	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/19286/find/
