What roofing contractor would be without a hammer?
Well, your No 1. Roofing expert uses a range of hammers and mallets to ensure a perfect standing seam installation every time.
Dead blow soft faced hammers, 32 mm: these hammers feature soft striking faces usually made of nylon and are designed for finishing work on soft metal materials such as zinc or copper.
It is important to avoid damaging the zinc layer on metal roofs as this can speed corrosion. The soft hammer face prevents scratch damage on metal surfaces and coatings and gives the installer a great degree of control in the hammering action.
A larger head made of pvc and featuring a wedge shaped end and a flat end makes the tinman’s mallet the perfect tool for both precision work and heavier duty shaping. The pvc nylon is tough, provides shock absorption, and eliminates damage to the metal surface.
Grooving hammers and angle flat scapers: generally used to form sharply defined lines and angles. These tools serve are essential precision tools in the hands of an expert but in the wrong hands can do potentially serious damage to a metal roof.
Seaming pliers and irons are used in conjunction with the various hammers to provide a sharply defined straight edge; critical for perfect seams even in the tightest corners.
We may use a range of seaming irons of varying size and shape but the basic design has been around for a very long time.
Seaming irons are used like mini anvils to provide an opposing surface for shaping metal seams.
In addition to long nose and flat nose pliers clinching and seaming pliers come in a range of widths from 22mm to 200 mms and may be straight or bent at various angles.
Long handles provide excellent leverage and allow the operator to fold small seam sections such as in tight corners or finishing off under eaves.
Straight clinching pliers are used to provide a sharply defined straight edge; come in a range of widths from 100 MM to 22 MM.
Bent clinching pliers are for bending curved sheet metal; come in a range of widths from 100 MM to 22 MM.
