STEALS on wHEELs

Last week I told you the roof had collapsed on the used convertible market. Well, it's the same deal with luxury iron.

Fancy a Merc c- class? a 52-plate c180 avantgarde with a modest 56k miles went for pounds 2,850. How about a seven-seater Land Rover discovery for buttons? an 02-plate disco V8 eS with 50k was snapped up for pounds 2,600. The car of your dreams has never been cheaper.But the market's paranoia can be your gain at auction. Less than three grand buys you a strong, low-mileage and well-engineered car for half its retail price. Yes, really.How about an 02-plate Lexus IS200 Se with just 50k miles for a ridiculous pounds 1,600? Or a 52-plate Volvo S60 TS, with one owner, 40,000 careful miles and a full service history in the glovebox, down to pounds 2,350.who'D DRIVe Them Savvy shoppers

Withstanding the winds: Norman home promotes higher safety standards

The state's first completely high-wind-resistant home is under construction here, featuring building techniques common in hurricane- prone areas of the country, but rare in Oklahoma.

McCarty is particularly suited to testing the wind-resistant construction techniques as a member of the state's 11-member Uniform Building Code Commission, said Mike Means, executive vice president of the Oklahoma State Home Builders Association."It always comes back to education," McCarty said. "We haven't really had a big push for this in state until just recently."Something as simple as a wind-resistant garage door can help keep the roof attached to a home during a tornado, he said.FEMA encouraged members of the Oklahoma State Home Builders Association to explore more wind-resistant building techniques after the severe storms pummeled the state in May and June.The OSHBA also plans to survey its members in the coming weeks to see how many builders in the state are offering wind-resistant construction to their clients."We're looking at construction practices in the state to see if they could be improved or enhanced to minimize damage," Bourdeau said. "As the public is better informed, particularly if they're building their own home, they can make choices to make their home safer."Norman-based homebuilder C.A. McCarty Construction has partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Oklahoma State Home Builders Association, State Farm and other businesses to build the 4,700-square-foot home in a northwest Norman subdivision.C.A. McCarty owner Curtis McCarty hopes that the test home will encourage other builders to offer such construction techniques to their clients by giving them a better idea about how much it costs.McCarty estimates the wind-resistant techniques used in the Norman home add about $1 per square foot to the cost of construction, due to additional labor costs as well as materials.The house features metal bracing that secures the roof and foundation, making the wood-frame structure stronger and more wind- resistant. Metal bracing is also used in the weakest structural areas of the home - around the doors and windows. The home also features wind-resistant composite roofing shingles."Hopefully, this will allow homebuilders to give the customer more options as they build a home," Means said.Oklahoma building codes require metal roof tie-downs for new homes, but the regulations only apply to houses in rural areas. The Norman test home goes above and beyond those standards.

The OSHBA also plans to survey its members in the coming weeks to see how many builders in the state are offering wind-resistant construction to their clients.

Metal Roofing's Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Does a metal roof cost more than a typical roof?

A. Absolute Steel offers a wide variety of panel systems to meet a variety of slope requirements. Information regarding minimum slope requirements can be found on the specific technical Data Sheet for each product. Typically, metal panel systems can be applied to pitches of � : 12 or greater. Actual minimum slopes may be dependent upon roof geometry, substrate, and physical location of the project.A. Yes. Among the types of insulation that can be used under metal roofing, we recommend foil-faced plastic bubble insulation. This means you can save even more additional utility costs by making your roof more energy efficient through the use of this inexpensive insulation product.A. You'll be surprised to learn that a metal roof is, on average, 50% lighter than an asphalt shingle roof, and 75% lighter than concrete tile, fiber cement shakes and slate. With metal roofing, weight on a structure is never an issue.A. Lightning is attracted to the highest point, not necessarily metal. A metal roof has no greater chance of being hit by lightning than any other type of roof. However, if your roof would be struck by lightning, a metal roof can help prevent your home from catching on fire because it can dissipate the electrical charge. More importantly, it is noncombustible.Q. How will a metal roof stand up to extreme weather?A. A metal roof can withstand decades of abuse from extreme weather like high winds, heavy snow, hailstorms, and even wildfires. Metal roofing has a 120-mph wind rating, meaning it can withstand wind gusts up to 120 miles per hour - equal to an F2 tornado. Under high wind conditions metal roofing systems have wind resistance and uplift resistance that is above the new building code requirements. Naturally, this gives architects and engineers a sense of relief in that they can use the best material to meet those criteria.Q. Does metal roofs attract lightning?A. Metal roof systems in most cases weigh between 1 to 3 pounds per square foot. The actual weight is dependent upon metal gauge and profile of the panel. Metal roof systems are considered a lightweight roof covering compared to their counterparts. The following illustrates the different types of other roofing materials and their respective weights per square foot:A. Today's residential metal roofing is made to look exactly like common roofing material - such as asphalt shingle, cedar shake, clay tile or slate roofing - only stronger and more durable. metal roofing materials come in a wide variety of styles, colors and patterns - there's certain to be a style and finish to match your home and neighborhood.The recycled content of the steel in a metal roof is about 56% from production to installation to reuse - far superior to asphalt. According to the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center, 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills every year. If you loaded those shingles into tractor trailers, then lined them up end-to-end, they would make a line from New York City to Los Angeles, back to New York City again, then on to Chicago. That's a lot of wasted asphalt. But because a metal roof can often be installed over your current roof, without tearing off what's already there, metal roofing helps to reduce this excessive shingle waste.Q. Would a metal roof be too heavy for certain types of homes, or for smaller structures like a detached garage or porch?A. Most metal panel systems can support the load of an individual walking on them. As with any roof system care must be taken to not cause damage to the roof due to abrasion or collapsing of raised portion of the panel. Appropriate OSHA approved safety procedures should also be followed.All of the above roofing materials are well-outlasted by metal roofing, which retains its good looks and durability decade after decade after decade.Q. Can I add insulation under the metal panels?Q. Is a metal roof environmentally responsible?A. This is a common question, and probably one of the biggest misconceptions about metal roofing. People usually think of an old barn roof where the metal is visible to the interior of the structure. On a residence, however, metal roofing is often installed over a solid substrate. Further, attic space and insulation serve as additional sound barriers. Research has proven that metal is not any noisier than traditional roofing products. In fact, you'll hear more bad weather noise from your walls and windows than you will from your metal roof.In locations that see heavy snow, metal roofing has been the choice of homeowners for years. It sheds snow fast, which protects the structural integrity of the roof. And it can eliminate ice damming at the eves, so water can't back up and collect under the roof then leak into your home. If you live in a part of the country that is prone to wildfires, metal roofing can protect your home should burning embers land on your roof. In fact, you should check with your insurance agent as it's quite likely that the installation of metal roofing will save you money on your homeowners insurance.A. Metal roofing and siding can be easily installed using standard hand tools such as a screw gun, hammer, metal snips, caulk gun, pliers, chalk line and tape measure. Cutting metal panels is best accomplished with an electric metal shear which doesn't cost much and attaches directly onto your drill gun; however, panels may be easily cut with a circular saw with a metal cutting abrasive blade. The best way to insure quilty and durablity is to hire a good metal roofing contractor. Where this might be your first time installing, they have been installing roofs for a liftime.A. Because metal roofing is a premium home product, you can expect your new roof to cost more than what an asphalt shingle roof costs. However, a metal roof is comparable in price to tile roofing or cedar shake roofing. If you currently have a slate roof, you can expect your metal roof to cost less.A. You can expect a metal roof to last at least 2 to 3 times longer than a regular roof. In general terms, count on a metal roof lasting 40 to 60 years and beyond. To put it in context, the average life span of an asphalt roof is 12 to 20 years. That lifespan can be shorter depending on the pitch of your roof and the climate in your area. Made of oil impregnated paper or fiberglass, asphalt begins to deteriorate as soon as you expose it to normal weather. A metal roof, however, will never decompose.Asphalt Shingle: 2 - 3.5lbs psfWood Shingles/Shakes: 3.5 - 4.5lbs psfQ. Is metal roofing noisier in bad weather than asphalt, cedar shake, tile and slate roofing?Q. What is the minimum roof slope for metal roofing?Q. Can you walk on the roof?Q. How much longer will a metal roof last than common roofing like asphalt or wood shingle?No matter what kind of metal roofing style you choose, you'll never have to worry about your roof again. Most come with a true 30 to 50 year warranty. Plus, your new metal roof will add to the resale value of your home, save you money on your energy bills, and give you piece of mind that you'll likely never have to re-roof again.Q. I'm concerned that a metal roof won't match my home and the roofing style in my neighborhood.Clay or Concrete Tile: 5.5 - 10lbs psfQ. How heavy is metal roofing?Q. Are any special tools required?Textured Asphalt Shingle: 3.5 - 5lbs psfOther roofing materials like wood shingle, shake and tile have varying degrees of weather-related problems that lead to breakdown. Wood shingle and shake roofs often need replacement before twenty years. Concrete tile roofs can crack and warp in the freeze/thaw cycle of more northern climates.

A. Metal roofing and siding can be easily installed using standard hand tools such as a screw gun, hammer, metal snips, caulk gun, pliers, chalk line and tape measure. Cutting metal panels is best accomplished with an electric metal shear which doesn't cost much and attaches directly onto your drill gun; however, panels may be easily cut with a circular saw with a metal cutting abrasive blade.
