When it comes to roofing, there are several key components that work together to protect your home from the elements. These components include the roof deck, underlayment, flashing, shingles, and ventilation.
The roof deck is the foundation of your roof and provides support for the rest of the roofing system. It is typically made of wood or plywood and is essential for the structural integrity of your roof. The underlayment is a water-resistant barrier that is installed over the roof deck to protect against moisture and provide an extra layer of protection.
Flashing is used to seal the joints and edges of your roof to prevent water from seeping in. It is typically made of metal and is installed around vents, skylights, and chimneys. Shingles are the outermost layer of your roof and come in a variety of materials, including asphalt, wood, and metal. They are designed to shed water and protect your home from the elements.
Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining the health of your roof and preventing issues such as mold and mildew. It allows air to circulate through the attic, reducing heat and moisture buildup. Without proper ventilation, your roof can be susceptible to damage and premature aging.
