The Metal Roofing System Difference

Due to their methods and materials of construction, metal roofing systems offer a much more rugged roofing solution than traditional roofing systems for all types of buildings. Key features and benefits of metal roof systems include:

Long Lasting Durability

Properly coated and maintained metal panels do not suffer from gradual chemical deterioration that plagues many membrane roofing systems. When properly installed, these systems are naturally water shedding with lapped seams.

Puncture Resistant

Metal roofing systems are much more resistant to incidental damage than membrane or shingle roofing systems. They are able to withstand impacts that would cause punctures or tears in many other systems on the market today.

Fire Resistant

Metal roof systems offer Class A fire rating from the National Fire Protection Association, and have the lowest flame spread index of any roofing system available today.

Wind Resistant

Many metal roof systems are rated for wind speeds up to 120 MPH or more.

Hail Resistant

Engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, metal roofs excel in protecting structures from the damaging impact of hailstorms. The inherent strength of metal, coupled with its smooth, interlocking panels, provides a formidable defense against hailstones.

Unlike traditional roofing materials, metal roofs don’t crack, split, or incur significant damage upon impact, making them an ideal choice for regions prone to hailstorms. This hail resistance not only ensures the longevity of the roof but also minimizes the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Lightweight Construction

With a wide variety of panel gauges available, metal roof systems offer a lightweight solution to help relieve stress on existing structures.

Green/Sustainable Installation.

Many metal roofing systems on the market utilize 50-70% recycled metals, offering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option than many petroleum based systems. These systems are also more easily recycled when they reach the end of their serviceable life than petroleum based alternatives.

Reduced Energy Consumption

Metal panels also dissipate heat much more quickly than shingle or membrane roof systems, which continue to radiate heat into your building after sundown.

Aesthetics

Metal roof systems are available in virtually any color, and with many panel profile options. Accent colors can be incorporated into the trim components, resulting in a truly unique and beautiful installation.

Requires Less Preventative Maintenance

Metal roofs are known for their low-maintenance characteristics, requiring minimal upkeep compared to traditional roofing materials. Their resistance to issues like rot, mold, and insect infestations means property owners can enjoy a worry-free roofing solution. With durable coatings that withstand the elements and prevent corrosion, metal roofs maintain their integrity over time, requiring fewer resources and time for preventative maintenance.
