Installing a new roofing system? Why do you need a drip edge?
Of the hundreds of shingle roofs put on each day, how many are put on with metal drip edges? Well we can state right here that as a professional roofing company drip edges are recommended by most manufacturers of asphalt shingle roofs. In fact it is also included in the International Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual.
What is the purpose of the drip edge? it will help keep the water from running down the fascia, but it also helps support the shingles on the end. If you have gutters, it will also help direct the water into the gutter.
Drip edge is a fairly inexpensive component that can increase the life of your homes roofing and siding. If you get a quote and the roofing contractor doesn't include drip edge it may be a good idea to contact another roofer in your area and get a 2nd opinion.
Benefits of a drip edge.
The lack of a drip edge does not cause roofing leaks. The purpose of drip edging is to prevent drips wicking from the edges of shingles up under them to the sheathing and rotting the edge of the sheathing and the rafter tails and fascia/rake boards right under the edge of the roof.
Drip edge systems combined with ventilation allows continuous flow of air in attics and homes while providing strong roofing.
Cost Effective The material used for roofing is affordable and putting it in place requires little expenses. This makes it affordable and quality material to reinforce roofs.
Does your house have drip edges? If you are not sure if your home has drip edges installed, call a professional for a quick visit to check, because in some cases they can be hard to spot.
If you are considering a new roofing system, or if you are replacing the shingles on your home due to wear and tear or storm damage contact a professional roofing company in your area.
