Alligatoring
Alligatoring is a rooftop condition that occurs when the
seams open up or the tar and gravel cracks. This commonly happens to most
tar and gravel roofs at the end of their lifespan, which is typically 10-12
years. In most cases, the roof should be replaced as soon as possible.
Aluminum Gutters
Aluminum is a moderately priced and rust-resistant
material popular with newer installations. It comes unfinished or
factory-painted. The downside is that aluminum tends to leak at joints
because the metal expands and contracts too much for sealant to hold
permanently. It also dents easily.
Apron Flashing
A horizontal flashing installed where the top end of a roof
slope meets a vertical projection, such as a chimney or parapet wall.
Box Gutter
A gutter not at an eave, typically at the base of
two opposing roof slopes.
Cap flashing
The portion of the flashing attached to a vertical surface to
prevent water from migrating behind the base flashing.
Capping
A cover at the top of a gap that weatherproofs, typically at
the ridge of a pitched roof.
Coping
the piece of material used to cover the top of a
wall. It can be constructed from metal, masonry, or stone.
Copper
It is also used as a primary roof material as well as a flashing component. Copper turns a greenish color after being exposed to the weather for a length of time and appears in the middle of the Galvanic Series.
Copper Gutters
Copper is an expensive material that is strong,
durable, rust-resistant and nearly maintenance-free. It will weather green
unless you coat it with a clear sealant. It also needs to be installed by a
professional.
Cornice
A horizontal projecting part that crowns the wall of a building.
Downspout
A pipe that carries rainwater from a roof gutter
down to a drain or to the ground.
Downpipe
A pipe to carry roof water from gutters and roof
catchments to drains or storage tanks.
Drainage
A system of gutters and drainpipes that carry water
away from the foundation of a house.
Drip-Edge Extension
Prevents water from washing over the fascia
eventually causing it to rot. If your fascia boards have black streaks on
them, that usually means that the drip-edge is failing and the contractor
may suggest adding an extension for an additional charge.
Dry Rot
Wood rot caused by certain fungi. Dry rot can result from condensation build-up, roof leaks that go untended, or from other problems. Dry rot will not remain localized. It can spread and damage any lumber touching the affected area.
Eaves Gutter
A roof gutter attached at an eaves overhang.
Elbow
Pre-finished angled piece for directing water flow.
Fall (slope)
The slope of the roof or gutter, often expressed in
degrees, or as a ratio of vertical height to horizontal distance (e.g. 1 in
20).
Fascia Angle
If there is any fascia board that is angled to
follow the roof rafters, there is usually an extra charge.
Fascia Board
The flat horizontal surface right below the edge
of a roof.
Fascia Replacement
New gutters need a solid fascia surface upon which
to be mounted. If rotted boards need to be replaced, there is a charge per
linear feet. Fascia boards narrower than 3' in width must be built out to
provide proper support for hanging your new gutters and require an
additional charge per linear feet.
Felt
A roofing sheet made of interwoven fibers. The fibers can be wood or vegetable for Organic Felts, glass fibers for fiberglass felts, polyester, or asbestos.
Flashing
Components used to seal the roof system at areas where the roof covering is interrupted or terminated. For example, pipes, curbs, walls, etc. all have special components that, when correctly installed, will help prevent moisture entry into the roof system or building.
Galvanized Gutters
Galvanized gutters are strong and inexpensive,
although they can rust.
Gauge
The thickness or the gauge of the gutter is very
important. Primary aluminum is the thickest and most consistent available.
The gauges range from .019 to .032 inches. The optimal thickness is .032
inches so when buying aluminum gutters, insist on primary aluminum, which is
the best.
Hanger
Flat strap that is installed under the roofing
matierial that holds up the horizontal section of the gutter.
Hanging Flashing
Side, front, or back cover piece used to prevent
entry of water between abutting surfaces and other gutters, flashings and
soakers.
Ice Dams
Ice dams are formed when heat from the attic melts
snow at the ridge or peak of the roof causing an "avalanche" of snow and ice
to overflow the gutters. The melted water can then back up under the
shingles and work its way into the property.
Mitres (Corners)
When a company fabricates the corners onsite using
the same material as the rest of the house, the advantage is that there is
one seam instead of 3 and it's a cleaner look overall.
Primer
A material that is applied to a surface in order to increase that surface's ability to adhere to or work in conjunction with a subsequently applied material.
PVC Gutters
PVC, or vinyl, is a tough, maintenance-free,
moderately priced material popular with newer installations. Vinyl gutter
systems are favored by some because they are lightweight and can be easily
snapped or glued together. However, vinyl gutters are not recommended for
hot, sunny climates where they tend to become brittle, crack and fail
quickly.
Rainhead
A box-shaped receptacle sometimes used between
gutters and downpipes to provide an external overflow point.
Run Height
The height (in stories) at which each gutter run
will be located (1st story, 2nd story etc.). This is used to determine the
length of downspout needed.
Run Length
A straight section of gutter mounted against the
fascia board. It is measured in linear feet, which measures the same as
regular feet.
Seamless Gutter Machine
The chosen gutter material is rolled through the forming machine to create a
continuous piece of gutter that is custom sized to your home.
Shoe
A fitting used in a downpipe, to change direction of
the downpipe by about 45 degrees.
Soaker (gutter)
A small gutter located on the upper side of a
chimneystack.
Soaker (flashings)
A side cover piece extended over a roof cover and
over-flashed with a hanging flashing. Formed metal designed to weatherproof
the perimeter of roof protrusions or penetrations. Soaker flashings are
usually positioned under rather than over the surrounding metal roof.
Soffits
Soffits are vents under the roof overhang that allow
your attic to breathe.
Slag
Residue from blast furnaces that is sometimes used for the surfacing on aggregate-surfaced built-up roof systems.
Slate
A fine-grained metamorphic rock that splits into thin, smooth-surfaced
layers used in steep slope roofing applications.
Terra Cotta
A semifired ceramic clay used in building
construction.
Underlayment
A material installed over the roof deck
prior to the application of the primary roof covering. Usually consists of
fifteen (15#) or thirty (30#) pound organic felt but can also be
self-adhering such as an ice and water protection membrane.
Vulcanize
To improve the strength, resiliency, and freedom
from stickiness and odor of rubber, for example, by combining with sulfur or
other additives in the presence of heat and pressure.
Valley Gutter
A gutter at the bottom intersection of two sloping
roofs (also called a valley flashing).
Valley Boards
Timber or profiled metal laid under a valley gutter
to support it.
Water Diverter
Similar to gutters, a water diverter is a piece of
metal that helps to control the flow of water as it drains from the roof.
Water Trough
The area in a valley where water runs. Usually
referred to with open valley configurations.
Wind Clip
A clip that slips over the ends of tile,
slate and other steep slope roofing materials in order to help prevent wind
uplift damage. |
