The Importance of a Robust Antenna Installation: A Comprehensive Guide

The installation of antennas on tin roofs is a common practice, allowing for better reception and connectivity. However, if not installed correctly, the process can lead to severe corrosion, damage to the roof, and even poor performance of the antenna itself. At QUBTEQ, we understand that your home is your greatest investment, and we’re committed to providing solutions that ensure the longevity and functionality of every part of it.

The Problem with Traditional Antenna Installation

1. Corrosion: Placing the antenna directly on the tin roof without proper insulation can cause rusting and corrosion. This is primarily due to the metal-to-metal contact, which triggers an electrochemical reaction, or organic material that get’s trapped and rots.
2. Wind Damage: Frequent wind exposure can cause the antenna to flex and move, creating strain on the tin. Over time, this continuous stress can lead to the breaking of the tin, making the structure vulnerable.
3. Cable Entry Issues: Using only silicone to seal the cable entry is insufficient and may lead to leakage and damage. It’s vital to use more robust solutions, such as a dektite seal, to ensure a proper, lasting fit.Examples of corroded tin roof.

Introducing QUBTEQ’s Gold Standard Antenna Installation

With QUBTEQ’s Gold Standard Antenna installation as shown in the feature image, we address the above problems in the most efficient and effective way. Here’s how:

1. Ridge Mount and Stay Bars: Our installation package includes a ridge mount, allowing a nice clear water run off so it can’t pool, and stay bars to hold the antenna securely, ensuring it won’t budge even in the strongest winds. This protects the tin from repeated flexing and possible breaking.
2. Rubber Mastic Pads: We understand the corrosion problem and use mastic pads between the metal part of the mount and the tin. These pads provide a barrier that prevents the electrochemical reaction that causes rusting, thereby maintaining the integrity of the tin roof.
3. Dek-tite Seal for Cable Entry: Unlike conventional silicone, a dek-tite seal creates a robust barrier at the cable entry point, preventing any possibility of leakage or infiltration.
4. Flexible Conduit to Protect Cable: Our package also includes a flexible conduit, safeguarding the entry cable, making it super easy to service and extending the life of your installation.
5. Hills Black Arrow and TV Amplifier: Our use of a Hills Black Arrow and an amplifier ensures top-notch performance, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted connectivity.
