When there is a fire in a closed structure, the fire and smoke build up and move upward until it cannot go up any farther. Smoke travels upward until something stops it like a ceiling or a roof. At this time, the smoke mushrooms outward filling the structure. If the firefighters punch a hole in the roof, the smoke is able to escape. If there are victims inside, this could better enable them to breath and be more easily located by the firefighters.

Punching a hole in the roof allows the firefighters to remove superheated gas and smoke from the environment making it safer for them to go inside the building in case someone needs to be saved.

The safe operating capacity of the Department's eight prisons and four community work centers, along with the state-owned, privately-managed Idaho Correctional Center, is 5,939 beds.

Actually, a metal roof can save you money on your a/c costs because it has a higher heat reflectivity than other roofing products like asphalt/fiberglass shingles, wood, tile, etc. During the summer it makes buildings cooler by efficiently reflecting away sunlight and reducing the amount of heat transmitted into the building. Likewise, it makes buildings warmer in the winter by reflecting inside heat from the underside of the roof back into the building.

Replacing a roof, whether on a commercial or residential building, is a labor-intensive project and, depending on the type of roof, could take anywhere from a few days to 2 or more weeks. The time involved is substantially affected by the weather, as well. Wind, snow, rain, or even just the threat of one of these and will slow the process considerably. For built-up roofs, removing and replacing the roof will probably proceed at a rate of approximately 1,500 square feet per day.

When there is a fire, you may have seen firefighters breaking windows and cutting big holes in the roof. What they are doing is called ventilation. Ventilation allows smoke and superheated gasses to escape from the building. This prevents two dangerous conditions known as flashover and backdraft that could potentially kill firefighters or any other people still inside the building.

Yes, as long as they are still available from the manufacturer; otherwise, with your approval we will match your existing shingles as close as possible.

First, it's important to know that ozone plays two different roles in the atmosphere. At ground level, "bad ozone" is a pollutant caused by human activities; it's a major component of health-damaging smog. The same chemical occurs naturally in the stratosphere, and this "good ozone" acts as a shield, filtering out most of the ultraviolet light from the Sun that could otherwise prove deadly to people, animals, and plants.

Steel has been successfully used for roofing on commercial and institutional buildings for over 50 years. This long track record has shown steel roofing to be an attractive, versatile, and durable product, with a lifespan 2 to 3 times longer than conventional roofing products. In addition, over the product life cycle, steel roofing is extremely cost effective. Residential construction is just beginning to realize the numerous benefits of steel roofing.

Yes. If you are the property owner of the residence, you can pull a homeowner=s permit. To obtain the permit, we will need to know the number of squares, what type of roof it will be and the value of the job. The permit fee is $15.00.

Based on German experience, a green roof can be expected to double or triple the life of the underlying conventional roof by protecting from human activity and wind-blown debris; shielding from UV radiation; and buffering temperature extremes, thereby minimizing damage from daily expansion and contraction.

With cedar shake roofs - Most roofs start telling you they need to be replaced when the shakes start to crumble under your feet or when you start finding them in your yard after a wind storm.

Well a cynic might answer that there are two kinds of roofs, those that leak and those that will leak. Roofs leak from a break in the waterproofing layer, sometimes caused by mechanical damage (ie, someone dropping an HVAC access panel on the roof), sometimes from an opening in the sealant, such as pitch pans and caulking, and sometimes from deterioration or defects in the roofing material. The key roof management task is leak avoidance. Find and correct defects before they leak.

Usually only a few days. The complexity of the building’s roofscape is the primary factor in determining the time required. Complex roofs require more time than basic designs. top

Wind: Experience during hurricanes has shown that metal roofing greatly outperform other roofing products. Water: A metal roof offers superior protection against moisture penetration, greatly reducing the chance of damage to the structure. Hail: Hail will not penetrate a metal roof. For more information, check out the advantages of metal roofing.

No! While roofs are usually good locations because they are high enough to be above any shading from trees, and many times they are facing south, there are many different mounting options for these systems. Detached structures, garages, covered patios, trellises, and ground mounts are a few other installation options.
