Building and Roofing Services at T.U.F.F. Exteriors

Following are the details of the service provided by T.U.F.F. Exteriors– 

• Standing Seam roofing systems (no exposed fasteners): Standing seam metal roofing is a camouflaged fixed roof type. It consists of vertical ribs separated by a flat area or pan. The side edges of one roofing panel are zipped or seamed with the neighbouring roof panels along their length. Such systems use specifically engineered clips or clamps. They are connected to the purlins or secondary components. The hidden fix method eliminates the need for penetrating fasteners. Lastly, It also helps with wind uplift resilience.

• Striated panel services (12’-24’): A striated insulated metal panel is a more appealing choice than traditional flat wall panels. From a couple of metres away, the external face is gently contoured with tiny longitudinal striations. This gives a faint shadow effect yet looks nearly flat. Striated wall panels combine the beauty of a flat wall panel with the good insulating qualities of a polyurethane core.

• Bead Panel (12’-24’): We imitate tongue-and-groove panelling using beaded panels. The product’s name comes from the “bead”. It is a ridge that runs between each plank. We place them vertically to mimic the look of narrow planks.

• Hardie Board Siding: Hardie Board siding is also known as pressboard siding. It is a type of synthetic-built home siding. This is usually produced from a combination of wood pulp, adhesives, and resins. Heat and pressure are used to bind the materials together throughout the manufacturing phase.

• Docke Shingles: The products of the German company Docke stand out among the vast array of roofing materials offered by current firms. Many countries, including Russia, commended the high-quality products from a European company. Docke’s flexible tile gained popularity because of its great aesthetic component and superior technical features.

• Asphalt Shingles: Asphalt shingles are the ideal choice for most houses. They are very lightweight, cheap, and simple to install. They are sold in sheets that are stacked on a roof. In conclusion, Asphalt shingles create the appearance of more expensive single shingles, including cedar or slate. The latter are laid one at a time.

• Vinyl Siding: Vinyl siding is a weatherproofing and aesthetically pleasing type of plastic outside covering for a property. Vinyl siding, comprises polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, and is a practical addition to any home. Lastly, it eliminates the  necessity of painting every few years and other difficulties associated with routine upkeep.

• Pre-engineered building: Building components that are factory-built and installed on site are known as pre-engineered buildings (PEBs). PEBs are steel constructions that are in use instead of traditional structural steel buildings. Facilities produce PEB structural components to exact sizes, deliver them to the worksite, and install them using bolted connections.

• Insulation, vapour barrier, Z-bar:

• What is Insulation service?
• Insulation is a kind of energy conservation that offers a barrier to heat movement. Heat naturally moves from a warmer to a colder environment. In cooler temperatures or climates, insulating a home can lessen heat loss. While in warm temperatures or climates, insulating a property can reduce heat surplus.

• What is a vapour barrier?
• A vapour barrier is a damp proofing material, usually a polymer or aluminum sheet. It prevents moisture passage across building walls, flooring, ceilings, or roof components. This reduces intermittent condensation and absorption.

• What is Z-Bar Flashing?
• Z-bar flashing is a galvanised metal flashing that is bent and put above the horizontal trim boards of an external window, door, or brick run. Lastly, it keeps water out of the house by preventing it from getting under the trim/brick.

• Wall panel envelopes: The physical barrier between a house’s environments, encompassing opposition to air, water, heat, light, and noise transfer, is known as the wall panel envelope.

• Metal decking and acoustical decking: Metal decking often has a ribbed or perforated shape. It is created via a process known as roll forming. Large sheets of metal are taken off rolls. Lastly, they are guided through rolling dies to create the corrugated profile. We employ Metal decking in the building of concrete forms, and for flooring and roofing.

When a building’s noise level has to be reduced, acoustic steel decking is employed. It’s a sound-absorbing roof as well as a structural metal roof deck.

• Masonry service: Masonry is the process of constructing structures out of separate pieces that are frequently placed in and bonded together with mortar. Secondly, the term masonry may also refer to the individual parts. Masonry is a very long-lasting solution. The resources we use, the grade of the mortar and craftsmanship, and the pattern in which we construct units, can all have a significant impact on the overall masonry structure’s durability.

• Flat Roofing Service: In contrast to the many varieties of sloping roofs, a flat roof is virtually level. The pitch of a roof is the angle at which it slopes, and flat roofs have a pitching of up to 10 degrees. Flat roofs are an old design. They allow the roof surface to be used as a living space or a living roof in dry regions.
