The unfortunate thing with clay tiles is during tropical storms / hurricanes, they may break easily - just make sure trees are not too close to the house and you should be okay.

    After installing the tile on the eave closure metal, I’m using copper metal, do you seal the space between the copper and the tile or leave it as is. I’m concerned about insects getting in under the tile if I don’t use joint and termination sealant to cover the space between the tile and the copper edge?

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před rokem +1

      If you have copper drip edge, generally you have mortar or clay eave closures. I have never seen copper eave closure metal before and I'm sure it would have to be custom made if you do have copper eave closure metal. Most eave closure metals are made in painted galvanized steel and or aluminum. If either of these metals are touching a copper drip edge, it will cause electrolysis and the copper drip metal will rust out.

    Thank you for such an instructional video. Could you explain the difference to me between a foam like Tile Bond vs. Polyfoam? Is one single component and the other a two part foam? Which one is best to use? Thank you!!!

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před rokem +1

      The both come in smaller one-part canisters, but it's more expensive per SF to install that way. Good for repairs. Polyfoam gets a getter pull than Tile Bond from our experience, though Tile Bond is slightly cheaper. We use Polyfoam since it's better, even though it is more expensive.

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Haha, I saw that video. That's a double roll tile. Those tiles were mortar set (like in our Fisher Island project), which means the eaves were likely mortared in, rather than installed with clay or metal. They don't show in the video. It's possible since they were custom installed with mortar, either the mortar cracked out in areas and the bats got in - or the weep holes were formed to large by the tile installer. Many possibilities, or there were broken tiles the bats found shelter in - hard to say.

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před 2 lety +3

      Thank you, Florida is a very wet climate, especially in south Florida. We are basically in the Caribbean and this roof is only across the street from the Atlantic Ocean. We get hit with many hurricanes, so we have the most stringent building code in the United States in South Florida. This is the method for all of Florida though, but in other parts of the country they can nail tiles on rather than using foam. I've even heard of people in other parts of the country loose laying them haha.
      On a steeper roof (more than 6/12) we would use 1x2 battens to nail the tiles in. Most residential roofs in South Florida are 3/12 - 5/12 however.

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před rokem +2

      There is no telling, it depends on what adhesive was used, who installed it (did they make the paddy size large enough? Did the roof pass updated wind load calculations via an engineer who correctly performed a tile uplift test?)
      There are two brands of tile adhesive in South Florida. ICP (made by 3M) and Tile Bond. ICP is much better and is a 2-part adhesive vs. the 1-part Tile Bond.
      In order to pass final inspection on a new tile roof, the roof must pass an engineer's tile uplift test where they check the strength of the tiles. First off, there are many scam engineers out there who do the test and pass it for roofers even though it doesn't meet code. Second, the wind uplift requirements change every coupe of years, so a roof put on in 2022 has much stricter wind uplift than a roof put on in 2020 as they expanded uplift zones etc. pretty recently.
      If you need help, let us know. We are working in Cape Coral - my parents actually live there.

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před rokem +1

      You should not be seeing rain draining through the eaves in a flow, but it will drip or vent out from the eave closure holes. Concrete tiles absorb about 10x more moisture than clay tiles, so this moisture that absorbs into the tiles has to go somewhere. It will vent out from underneath or it will evaporate back out of the tiles. It should not really be flowing underneath the tiles though.

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před 6 měsíci

      You need to pull the metal back and change the plywood if the wood is bad. Hard for most people to do unless you have a lot of construction experience. If the metal and wood is in fine shape and the leak is through the fasteners, then remove the fasteners, re-fasten and cover over with @PolyglassUSA SA P... make sure you apply heat and pressure on any SA roll.

      Clay tiles absorb less water, so this is less likely to happen. Wet and Forget a couple times a year is your best bet, but you have to go up on the roof to spray it on - or call us and we will do it for you and replace any tiles that get broken walking on the roof.

      We order the tiles and they are included within our pricing. If the client desires and upgraded clay tile or premium color, we get this priced out and make the order.
      I had an engineer client about two years ago tell me he wanted to order the tiles himself to save money, but I told him to let me see what I could do and my pricing was significantly cheaper even with my pass-through costs added in because I have great relationships with my distributors, we are the number one purchaser through our preferred distributor in Miami, which means we are likely to get the best pricing.

    I'm considering tile, you mentioned a 50 year life but the underlayment is only 30. My question is, why would the underlayment degrade if terracotta doesn't get hot like concrete or asphalt?

    • @TheTimkanak
      @TheTimkanak Před 2 lety +2

      The underlayment will still degrade over time as no tile is 100% waterproof. These tiles are Grade 1, the highest rating for moisture absorption, but they will still allow a percentile of moisture to absorb through the tiles and into the paper. The higher grade the tiles the better this will protect the underlayment.
      The maximum underlayment warranty I have seen is a material only warranty from CT Flintlastic that gets up to 50 years, but that is not a workmanship and material warranty like Polyglass provides and also is a little more expensive for that underlayment (which is a granulated cap sheet).
      The companies of course when providing a warranty will only provide warranties for products they KNOW 100% will last that long, so the 30 year warranty only marks the beginning of the failure rate. The roof could still last 30-50 years, however that will depend on owner maintenance (how well the roof is maintained over time - because even when you get a new roof, you still have to maintain it - just like buying a new car) and additionally on pest control (the #1 cause of leaks in South Florida are termites!!!)

    • @perkinsroofingcorp
      @perkinsroofingcorp  Před 2 měsíci

      Many reasons, but here are two.
      1. This house is Miami-Dade and you have to use foam at that slope, it's a higher code than regular Florida Building Code.
      2. Foam is better, less holes in a roof = better, especially with concrete tiles which absorb a lot more moisture than these clay tiles and due to the Florida rains need cleaned all the time. The more movement on the roof from cleaners, etc. on the roof, the more likely the nails wiggle, move and expand the hole in the roof for water to run into. Additionally the moisture absorption is likely to crack out the tiles around the nail holes when they are fastened in rather than adhered.
