 DIY Metal Headboard

Materials Needed
1 (desired size) Piece of Sheet Metal
Drill
Malco Metal Cutting Turbo Shears

First- You will want to decide the size of the headboard.

Once you have the measurements- you’ll want to order the piece of sheet metal from B&B Wholesale Metals.
B&B has a wide range of color to choose from, they also have different thickness of the metal.

Now that you have your piece of Sheet Metal- you will attached your Malco Metal Cutting Turbo Shears to your Drill.

Your creativity takes over here!
Personally- I would stencil my design onto the Metal before cutting the metal.

And you’re done.

Now you have a personalized headboard!

Venting

When installing a Metal Roof, it is a great idea to vent your ridge. 

By venting your ridge, there will be an open airway for the hot air to escape. You can eliminate the attic vents you have now, which will mean that you will not have to cut the panel to fit around them or purchase "goosenecks" to fit over the top of them. 

The ridge vent will allow more air to escape which will save more money on energy costs and will be hidden under you ridge cap so there is no unsightly hardware. We carry a full line of accessories, which include solid closures that are contoured to the panel shape, along with either vented strips that are contoured to the panel or strips of venting to prevent any bugs, spiders, bats, snakes, wind or water to intrude underneath the ridge cap.

 This venting allows the air to escape the roof but keeps all of the unwanted elements out. Once you've vented your ridge you can place the vented strips near that area and use the solid closures to seal the rest of the roof.

 As an added benefit, we also suggest using closures at the end of your panel, closest underneath the metal. So now the roof has adequate ventilation and is protected from intrusions.

Modernized Metal

When thinking about Tin- most tend to think about the old school Tin.

Metal Roofing has come a long ways over the years. There is no better time then the present to do some freshening up and remodeling. 

Don't fall into the mix of people who think Metal Roofing is just for the outside of your house.

 Take the Metal inside! 

From bathroom walls, to living room ceilings.

Roll Formers

For Metal Roof panel manufacturers who play by the rules, the current regime of product approval and local enforcement puts them at a significant disadvantage. 

One quality assurance professional estimates that for every legitimate portable roll former in Florida, there are four operating without proper documentation and without quality assurance. Lack of quality assurance means that metal panels of questionable and unknown quality are finding their way onto the rooftops of Florida's residents.

To ensure that your metal is the best of the best- Having a Manufacturer handle the roll forming may be more beneficial than you thought.

•  Reduced labor and material handling
• Greater accuracy, uniformity and consistency throughout both the individual piece and production lots.
• More surface-friendly for prepainted, precoated and preplated metals.
•  Faster, continuous production with reduced cost-per-piece. 
• Speedier assembly resulting from part uniformity and tighter tolerances.
