Why Choose Metal Roofing

Whether you're restoring a structure or planning a roof design for a new building, metal roofing is a good choice. Here are four reasons why.

1. Long life and durability

According to a recent study, homeowners ranked the longevity of their roofing material as their most important consideration when choosing a roofing product. The more durable the roofing material, the longer it will last.

Maintenance of the roof is another factor related to its durability. Each roof type costs a percentage of its total installed cost to maintain throughout the life of the roof.

 

The following are comparative percentages of maintenance costs for steep-sloped roof types as reported by building owners.

Asphalt shingles - 28.5%

Single-ply membrane - 19%

Metal Roofing - 3.5%

Metal Roof


Metal roofing requires a fraction of the maintenance required by other popular commercial roofing materials. Compared to the time and labor required to keep other roofs looking good, metal roofs are virtually trouble-free after installation.

 

Asphalt shingles can last 20 to 30 years before needing to be replaced. EPDM roofs have a life expectancy of 12 to 25 years. Metal roofs made of steel, aluminum and zinc last between 40 and 50 years. If you choose copper, your roof may last 100 years or more.

 

Roofing metal is available in flat and slotted sheets of different thicknesses for installation on different roof pitches and architectural styles. The gauge of the metal sheet indicates its thickness. The smaller gauge sheets are thicker than the higher gauge metal sheets.

 

Of course, a metal roof is only as durable as the trusses and fasteners underneath the roof. Let a professional install your metal roof for the best results.

2. Coverage Flexibility

Metal roofing covers many architectural evils. Metal can be configured and secured to any shape or style of roof. By adding a metal roof, new life can be given to disconnected old commercial buildings with many roof pitches and hillsides.

 

The neat look of a metal roof contrasts with the rustic or historic homes now used for commercial enterprises. Install metal in the same color as the awning on a porch, deck or covered gazebo to convey the theme and add cohesiveness to your property.

 

The availability of brightly colored products is another aesthetic advantage of metal roofing materials. Use painted or coated metal to highlight your business and enhance your image. Metal roofs can be installed to match your brand colors, interior décor or to make your structure stand out in a complex.

 

A light blue roof for a seafood restaurant or a forest green roof for a landscape company's retail store. Copper roofs provide an upscale look with high-tech appeal for office campuses, research centers and retail stores.
