Roof Restoration

The roof restoration process entails considered design and implementation to meet the requirements of location and climate conditions.  It is the Building Codes Board that are constantly researching, studying and inspecting roofing options for the best roofing products, construction materials and roofing construction to meet the needs that come along with this.  Longevity, energy efficiency and thermal mass factor in every design and restoration are, also, to be factored and therefore working with a roof restoration business that understands all of these factors, along with your requirements is important.  The best way to achieve this is through industry experience in your area and to your climate conditions. 

Thermal mass describes how quickly a material can absorb heat and therefore respond to climate changes.  The higher the thermal mass the slower it takes to absorb the heat, therefore naturally aiding in maintaining stable temperatures inside the building. The lower the thermal mass the quicker the temperature changes in the building.

Energy efficiency extends to embodied energy roofing, which simply describes how much energy has gone into the products used, from mining, processing, transportation of materials to the final construction of the roof.  In an era, where people are more often sorting materials that are more energy efficient, this increasingly is a factor in the process.

According to the Buildings Code Board, Australia is made up of 8 climate zones, ranging from hot humid summer and warm winter to alpine regions.  Kenny’s Roofing, with over 15 years in roof restoration and specialises in coastal areas that relate to a warm temperature zone, with characteristics that have moderate temperatures that can exceed human comfort zone range in summer and winter and spring and autumn being ideal.

Roofing material needs to also address conditions, with products able to stand up to high wind conditions and heavy rainfall that happens, as well as coastal conditions.  Products that can withstand these conditions and avoid corrosion are paramount.

Kenny’s Roofing offers a blend of industry experience and a deep understanding of the areas with which we work. Having been in the area for over 15 years doing roof restoration, we can offer guidance in the design process and consideration for all elements in the construction process.

Roof restoration can be done to improve the cosmetic look of your home, and is more cost effective than replacing your whole roof.  Other times when restoration can be carried out is when you see signs of repair or discolouration in building materials, as these are repaired with the restoration process, and maintaining your roof.

As part of the quoting process, Kenny’s roofing carries out a professional inspection of your roof, and this inspection means that you know your roof has been thoroughly checked before work commences.

The benefits of roof restoration is that extends the life of your roof, decreases the chances of leaks, adds value to your home and add to the energy efficiency of your home.

The process of roof restoration begins with cleaning the roof with a high pressure washer then repair any damage that requires attention, replacement of any materials that are not repairable, then the application of the coating system used to restore the roof, this is the part of the process that adds colour.
