Building a dream home and its surroundings is the most important investments, one of the important decisions one can ever make. It is that part of your home that protects you from the extreme climatic conditions.
Other than providing shelter, roofs these days give your home a unique appearance. This is the first thing where even unknown by passer’s sight falls upon. Prow roof is one of the exclusive roof styles that are attracting most of the homeowners. This roofing is simply extravagant to make the houses appear more opulent.
Prow roofs and the gable roofs are somewhat similar in their look. One can identify between the two as each end of the prow roof are placed with less distance. Prow roofs are in trend nowadays. Being very classy and dashing, they attract a lot of homeowners. Unlike earlier roof types, these are dragged out over the windows and bays to protect them from storm and tornado.
Prow roof installation needs especially skilled roofers as the task needs accurate dimensional calculations. This appears frightening in the beginning but is easily done up by specifically trained roofers.
Before opting for the prow roofing some primary measures are to be taken into account. The first and the foremost is to install the inbuilt rafters as is also in the case of normal roofing. The normal and prow roofing system only change their ends and are constructed alike in the middle.
Thereafter, roof cap boards are mounted on the rafter’s top. The boards are then extended over the walls. Usually the boards are extended up to 3 to 4 feet past the edge of the walls, but you can extend them according to your convenience.
Additionally, after placing the roof cap board, cover the entire roof surface with the plywood to provide a solid base. Next step involves spreading the roof tar all over fixing with the staples and tacks.
At the end of the roofing process, different roofing materials as per once choice, requirement and latest practices are then laid. Shingles are also installed over the entire roof.
