A Roof Replacement can be a great improvement for your home
If you have decided to stay in your current house for the long term but and not satisfied with the performance of its aging roof then roof replacement can be a great long term solution. Following a roof replacement, the performance of your roof will be significantly enhanced. The thermal and acoustic insulation of the new lined Colourbond roof will be many times that of the original tiled roof. You will notice a quieter cooler roof and in most cases reduced heating and cooling costs. The roof space will stay cleaner and free of vermin and possums as all gaps are sealed up.
The many benefits of roof replacement for your Adelaide home
ROOF REPLACEMENT AND INSULATION IMPROVEMENT
When making an investment in a full roof replacement on an Adelaide home we highly recommend including roof blanket insulation. This great value option gives the Adelaide home owner a significantly better insulated roof both thermally and acoustically. The insulation blanket is highly efficient being in direct contact with the underside of the roof sheet. The old stories of an Iron roof being so loud during rain events are only true of an un-insulated roof. With blanket lining a new Colourbond roof is often quieter than its original tile equivalent. We only use the best products from CSR Bradford and Fletcher Insulation.

OUR ROOF REPLACEMENT PROCESS
1. Original roof removal
Removal of the original tiled roof is the first part of the roof replacement process. An average tiled roof can have between 8 and 16 tonne of concrete tiles cladding its surface and its vitally important to removed the original roof cladding with the most efficiency. Large skip bins are placed near the roof edge and allow the roof tiles to be thorn directly off the roof and smash into small pieces in the skip bin.
2. Roof Batten install
Once the roof cladding has been removed the next step is to install metal roof battens. We use 40mm steel roof battens fixed at 900mm maximum spacings as the fixing substrate for the roof sheeting. The original timber tiled roof battens really serve no purpose in the roof replacement other than holding up the roof blanket to the underside of the roof sheet. The metal roof battens are screw fixed to each and every truss or rafter and this gives a great racing effect to the whole roof structure.
3. Roof sheeting install
The third stage to the process is to install the roof sheeting. The roof is effectively fully laid with Insulation blanket first and then Colourbond metal sheeting is placed directly over the top. Roof screws go through the roof sheet and roof blanket and bite into the 40mm metal batten beneath. With a roof replacement there are two options with roof sheet gauge. Most houses around Australia have the standard 0.42mm base metal thickness Colourbond roof sheeting. We offer and option to increase the base metal thickness to 0.48mm. It may not sound like a lot but the sheets are better to walk on and have better hail resistance also.
4. Flashings and caps
The final stage of the Roof replacement is the finishing off stage. All roof screws and fixed in place. All chimney and barge flashings are installed. Any air conditioners and skylights sealed up and flashed with tray flashings. A final cleanup of the site, skip bin removal and the job is done.

There is no doubt that replacing an older failing tiled roof with a new Insulated Colourbond roof gives multiple benefits to the home. In almost all cases replacing the roof of a house can increase a property value by the same amount and more then the cost of the roof replacement itself.
