Benefits of Metal Roofing 

Adverse weather conditions such as: strong winds, hailstorms and extreme temperatures can tear, deteriorate, damage and buckle conventional asphalt shingles as well as other, less durable non-metal roofing materials. These events, in excess, can often cause premature replacement of the roof water shedding materials. Collateral damage, disruption of the home or business and increased insurance premiums are some of the detriments associated with weather predicated replacement.

​

Wind damage can be especially insidious by destroying or removing only small sections of shingles may in fact require the entire roof to be replaced. This is neither good for your insurance premiums or pocketbook in the long term.

​

“Wind Resistance: The interlocking or active fastening of most metal roofing panels allows them to pass very severe wind and uplift tests including ASTM E1592, UL 580, and UL 1897. Many products carry approval for use in Dade County, Florida.”

​

Metal roofing is the fastest growing material in the replacement market. 

The advent of Galvalume® metal (steel with hot dipped zinc and aluminum coating) has given a new meaning to extended life in the roofing industry. Galvalume® metal roofing can easily exceed life expectancies 50 years. 

Your new metal roof may in fact out live (3) non-metal roof material installations over its life.

​

The innovation & development of superior paint systems add attributes and enhancements including UV protection, beautiful – aesthetically pleasing colors and weather-ability.

​

Recent studies have validated the integrity and long life spans for Galvalume® metal roofing. Data strongly suggests that Galvalume® metal roofing in many cases will outlive the functional of the structure that it covers.

​

The fundamental elements of: zinc and aluminum; work together to promote the preservation of the base steel material.

​

Zinc as a sacrificial protection and aluminum in a self-healing function. 

In essence, no non-metal roofing products can achieve the extended longevity of durable and beautiful metal roofing systems. 

 Recent studies into the maintenance costs associated with various types of roof systems has shown that maintaining metal roofing is less expensive than any other installed materials.

​

This characteristic of metal roofing should be of great interest for those interested in longer term life-cycle costs. Although there are many variables that go into life cycle costs it is not unusual to expect greater than a 50% savings for metal roofing compared to other non-metal, conventional, roofing materials.
