Description

This section of our website is intended to serve as an informational source to help you learn about different roof components and their significance in creating a structurally sound roof. MQ Roof understands what makes up a quality leak-free roof because we pay close attention to details. A roof is a complete system and so is the ventilation of the attic. The installation of a roof is a process that requires quality materials and proper training in installation techniques. The roofing process requires the skills and knowledge of a professional contractor. MQ Roof can answer your questions about the parts of a roof as well as any questions regarding any area of roof installation techniques. A good roof keeps out wind, rain, snow, hail, and the sun's light and heat. To accomplish this, a roof's surface must be watertight and durable as well as flexible enough to adapt to temperature changes without cracking or otherwise losing its integrity. In some areas, roofs must also be fire-resistant. Roofs vary in their covering materials and design, but most roofs consist of wood framing, wood sheathing, roofing felt, flashing, and the surface roofing material. Roof framing can be simple or complex, depending on the style and decorative elements. It provides the skeleton for the covering materials. Roofing felt, a heavy black paper saturated with asphalt, lies between the sheathing and the finishing material. It keeps out any water that might seep through the finishing material, yet allows moisture from inside the house to escape. Flashing keeps out water wherever finishing material connects with chimneys, dormers, or other roof planes. Proper insulation and ventilation beneath a roof is key to keeping a home comfortable and in protecting the roof's structure from moisture damage. A good roofing system requires proper design, quality materials, quality application, and routine maintenance to perform successfully.
