Storms have ceased to be events that happen once in a couple
of decades; there is an increase in their frequency and intensity.
There is often talk about the fact that the choice of the
roof covering is personal, it depends on the preferences of the beneficiary.
Lately, a particular emphasis is placed on the ability of a roof to withstand heavy
precipitations and strong winds, which are meteorological phenomena that affect
a construction not necessarily because of their frequency but rather because of
their intensity at certain intervals.
The worst damages produced by wind are recorded in the case
of flat roofs, as well as in the case of roofs with high surface coverings,
such as large metal plates according to Barrington roofers with great roofingknowledge.
Roofs with a slope of 40° and more tend to have greater
resistance to storms. The underpressure that occurs in the case of a storm can
pass without causing damage over the roofs where the tiles, like scaffolds,
interpenetrate. They rise slightly as a result of wind pressure, but then
return to their original position. For extra-protection, in areas exposed to
stronger winds, the tiles can be secured with protection clips.
Wind can also become a problem for vulnerable roofs - too
old, poorly maintained or poorly installed.
