Durable in Different Weather Conditions
Whether you need commercial or residential applications, a metal roof
is a versatile product designed to meet a variety of building styles.
It has been installed in many countries in a wide range of climate conditions.
It will withstand wind forces to 120 mph. Metal can also resist damage
due to freezing and thawing because of the nonporous exterior. Since it
is steel, it is free from termite damage. Elegant and long-lasting
are equally important characteristics when choosing a roof to protect
your most prized investmentyour home. In fact, a metal roof may
be the last roof you ever need. The strength and durability of a stone
coated steel roof is combined with the versatile good looks of a shingle,
shake or tile exterior to give you the widest possible selection. A metal
roof has the durability of commercial-grade roofing material, and offers
the richness and beauty to enhance your homes appearance.
Warranted
Metal roofs carry a 30 to 50-year limited warranty against 120 mph winds
and penetrating hail. The interlocking steel panels provide a weather-tight
barrier against the elements. Our roofing systems are manufactured according
to methods that have been certified to ISO 9002 standards. Metal panels
are pressure formed zinc-aluminum alloy coated steel with an acrylic bonded
stone chip finish. The zinc-aluminum alloy coated steel provides superior
corrosion resistance. The stone chip finish, resists fading and uv-ray
penetration. Its non-porous surface also resists freezing and thawing
in cold climates. Metal roofing panels are non-combustible (rated Class
A material), and will not crack, break, warp, curl or split. In some cases,
a house with a metal roof was the only one spared in neighborhoods devastated
by fire.
Faster Installation
Metal roofing is the leading choice among home owners associations
for the versatility of the product. A metal roofing system can be installed
quickly, so there is less disruption to residents. Each panel is approximately
4-feet long and about 1-foot wide, so installation is rapid. It can be
installed over existing asphalt and wood shake roofs, so there is no need
for tear-off.
Many Styles and Colors
There are several styles and colors of shake, shingle, and tile that complement
any style home. The only difficulty is deciding which one is best for
your home.
Great for the environment
The recycled content of the steel in a metal roof is 56%. A metal roof
can often be installed over your current roof, greatly reducing tear-off
and disposal of old roofing material in landfills.
Save money and add value
Metal roofing in light colours reflect heat effectively to reduce cooling
loads in summer. A metal roof can also increase the resale value of your
home. In Texas a metal roof can even lower your home owners insurance
by 35%.
Life of your home longevity
The average roof life of a non metal roof is 17years. Asphalt can require
reproofing every 10 to 20 years often sooner. A metal roof offers unmatched
durability lasting 2 to 3 times longer - as much as 40 to 60 years and
beyond.
