Today, We’re Going to Talk About Parts of a Roof
There’s more to your roof that what meets the eye! By the end of this article, you’ll know a lot about what makes up a roof and why it’s important to keep each part in good shape to keep your house safe and strong.
Shingles: Your Roof’s First Line of Defense
Shingles are the part of the roof you see first. They protect your house from rain, snow, and sun. Shingles can be made of different things like asphalt, metal, wood, or slate. They work by making sure water slides off your house, keeping it dry and safe from damage. At Griffin’s Roofing Service, we offer long-lasting asphalt and metal shingles in many colors to match what your homes color scheme.
Underlayment: The Hidden Layer of Protection
Right under the shingles is something called underlayment. It’s a special layer that stops water from getting in. It’s really important for keeping your roof sound for a long time and keeping your house leak free.
Roof Deck: The Base of Your Roof
The roof deck is the bottom layer of your roof. It’s usually made of plywood or OSB. The roof deck holds up all the other parts of the roof. It’s very important for making sure your roof stays in good shape.
Flashing: Protecting the Weak Spots
Flashing is metal that goes around places like chimneys, vents, and skylights on your roof. It helps keep water from getting into those spots, which could cause leaks or damage.
Ridge Vents: Helping Your Roof Breathe
Ridge vents might not be talked about a lot, but they’re really important. They go on top of your roof and help air move in and out of your attic. This stops moisture from building up and helps your roof last longer.
Gutters: Taking Water Away from Your House
Gutters are the channels that run around the edge of your roof. They collect rainwater and move it away from your house. This helps stop the ground from washing away, keeps your landscaping looking great, and keeps your house’s foundation dry.
Keeping Your Roof in Great Shape
Roofs have many parts, and all of them work together to protect your home. It’s important to take care of your roof and fix any problems right away. This helps your roof last longer and keeps your home safe.
