A moss appeared on the roof tile from the north side or is there a way to remove it?
Mosses and lichen most often attack tiles located on shaded tracts when the house stands near the forest or in a place covered with trees. Natural ceramic tiles and cement roof tiles as well as sheet metal coverings are particularly liked. But they can also appear on ceramic glazed tiles with a very smooth surface. It's just a matter of time.In such situations, we recommend the use of a specialized agent for removing algae, mosses and lichen, for example, they can be Altax products. Most of this type of products are relatively easy to use - it is enough to spray moss and lichens and after a few days dead plants should be rinsed with water - most of the procedure should flow in itself, and the rest should be removed with a brush and clean water (without the addition of detergents) . It is also worth remembering that after drying the roof, its surface should be sprayed again with an appropriate protective preparation and leave to dry. Thanks to this, the surface will be protected from re -growing, because the protective measures will significantly delay this process.It should be remembered that fungi and algaicoes are strong chemicals, so you should be particularly careful when applying. Gloves and protective glasses are necessary. Another very important aspect is the protection of the building area so that the water with chemicals does not flow directly to the soil or flower beds. The best solution is to secure the outlets of the downpipes, for example by substituting plastic barrels or containers to which water with chemicals will flow.

Is it possible to make copper machining at the steel roof?
When using copper, be careful because copper oxides are very aggressive and cause corrosion of other metals. Therefore, on buildings, it cannot be combined with other metal species (copper enters into contact and causes electrolytic corrosion of other metals).
Why is the metal roofing sheets recommended for the renovation of old roofs?
This is directly related to its low weight. In the case of old roofs, the trusses of the renovated houses are often somewhat damaged by time. Therefore, it is safer to use a metal roofing tile, which weight oscillates at 4.7 kg/m2, than almost ten times a heavier ceramic tile than it. However, it is always worth verifying the condition of the roof truss, with a specialist and make sure that it does not require renovation or replacement. In such cases, the safety of residents or building employees, as well as the assembly team, is always a priority. In most situations, however, the condition of the structure without major problems allows the use of roof tiles, while the use of ceramic tile would not be possible.
Can you use an angle grinder when cutting sheets?
Modern roofing exclude the use of angle grinders for cutting. The use of this method of cutting the material is associated with the loss of warranty.The angle grinder during operation and cutting produces very large amounts of heat, which in turn damages the edges of the sheet, as well as the coating covering it. In addition, the filings extracting during operation blend into the surface of the blades, additionally creating potential corrosion outbreaks.The right way of cutting sheet metal is to use automatic jumps (so -called Nilerler) or hand scissors. They use the mechanical force to cut the sheet, without exposing it to high temperature jumps. In addition, it is worth remembering that after cutting it is good to train cut places with dedicated protective varnish or special paint.
Does the roof require maintenance?
Yes, each roof requires periodic inspections to check if there have been any damage. Most of the products offered by Blachy Pruszyński have various types of specialized coatings available (covered by the warranty), increasing the life and durability of sheet metal. Maintenance consists mainly in removing the deposits and chimney dust, which left for a longer period of time can lead to sheet metal damage. Particular attention should be paid to places around chimneys that are sensitive due to more demanding operating conditions. If during the coverage inspection, local damage to the paint coating will be noticed, paint corrections should be made. In such a situation, the best solution is to use dedicated gloss paints tailored to a given coating. Such paints are in a stringent offer of Pruszyńska sheet and it is strongly recommended to use company products, recommended for a given coating.
