Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is one of the most popular roof choices available today for commercial buildings.

Lasting decades when installed properly, some roofs even last 100 years or longer.

Why Choose Metal Roofing

More and more commercial, industrial, and small building owners are selecting metal roofing for its outstanding durability, design flexibility, low lifecycle costs and up to 40% savings on energy.

The Benefits of Metal Roofs

Metal roofing has been in use in different forms for many, many years. Metal has many qualities that enable it to be an effective building material.

Durable

Metal roofs are more efficient at shedding rainwater, compared to most roofing types. It can also withstand impact from hailstones and airborne debris and is less likely to get punctured. This is ideal for commercial properties with continuous business hours; the tougher the roof is, the fewer business disruptions.

Long Life Span

Metal roofs have an expected lifespan of up to 50 years, much longer than the average commercial roof. This has a positive effect on the commercial property’s long-term upkeep, especially considering that you will only need to have it replaced twice a century.

Aesthetics

Commercial metal roofs can look good and are available in a broad variety of colors and designs.

They are available in more than just the standard standing seam design as well: it can be made to mimic more traditional materials like slate and shingles.

Plus, certain metals like copper develop a beautiful green patina that looks even more beautiful over time.

Low Maintenance

Metal roofs are long-lasting and resistant to decay, discolouration and mildew, which makes them a low maintenance commercial roofing solution.

Scheduled maintenance is spaced longer compared to single-ply or gravel roofs and – thanks to their exceptional durability – they are less likely to require extensive repair work.

Environment friendly

Existing roofs can be re-roofed with metal without contributing tons of waste to our country’s landfills.

Non-combustible and fire-resistant

Metal roofing has a Class A fire rating, which means it receives the designation of “most resistant” to fires.

Lightweight

Metal weighs much less than asphalt shingles and can withstand extremely high winds and climate changes. You can also install a metal roof over the old roof in most situations.

Energy efficient

Metal roofs can be easily insulated with a radiant barrier effect, using fiber glass and foam block to reduce energy costs and noise.
