Regardless the method utilized to shingle the valley, a profitable installation begins with correct preparation. Taking the correct steps prior to applying your shingles will be the best approach to prevent roof leaks. Here are three main types of valleys used on residential roofing systems in the United States.
Woven Valley Style
Woven valley sseem to have fallen out of favor in most regions of the country, mainly because they take longer to install. Unlike other valleys, woven is the most water-resistant and don't require sealing with messy roofing cement.
Advantages:
-Shingles don't need to be cut
-Shingles don't rely on asphalt roof cement to be sealed
-interlocking weave provides double coverage
-Most weather and wind resistant
Open Metal Valley Style
Open metal valleys are probably the most decorative style of valley. They're used traditionally with wood shingles, tile or slate roofing although they can also work with asphalt shingles. Open valleys are most durable when lined with copper or steel.
Advantages:
-Variety of metals can be used to give different look
-Most decorative valley
-Works well with laminated shingles
-Very durable valley
Closed-Cut Valley
The nice thing about a closed-cut valley is the rate at which they can be installed and the fact that both sides of the roof don't need to be shingled at the same time. When you install a closed-cut valley you can cut after or during the installation. This valley is usually used with laminated or asphalt shingles.
Advantages:
-The two roof planes don't need to be shingled at the same time
-Cut valleys are quicker to install than weaving
-Cut valleys provide crisp look
These three valleys offer advantages for both esthetics and installation. All three of these valleys can be installed throughout the US and offer a different look.

ReplyDeleteDifferent types of valleys work best with different types of roofs. You have to make sure the valley you chose would work well with the roof you have, and vice versa. As you've said, if you have a steel roof, it's best to go for an open metal valley style. If you opt for a different valley style, the combination might not work as well.
