Metal Roof

Metal roofs are everywhere, and they can easily be found in schools, homes, offices, barns, stores and hotels. This roofing system has been around for centuries, and can even be regarded as one of the oldest roofing styles known to man.

Types Of Metal Roofing Systems

The term “Metal” is a very broad one when it comes to roofing. This is simply because the periodic table of elements has nearly one hundred different metals on it, and some of the commonly used metal roofing materials in the industry include;

  • Galvalume coated steel
  • Galvanised steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminium
  • Zinc
  • Copper

All of these metal options are good, and they have different qualities. Before picking one, ensure you do proper research on their pros & cons.

Longevity

Metal roofs are designed to last for decades, far longer than any other roofing material. Its longevity is one of the major reasons why most homeowners decide on settling for it for use on their property. The projected lifespan of a metal roof is pegged at 50+years without any signs of corrosion or degradation.

Maintenance

The level of maintenance required to keep a metal roof in good shape is minimal when compared to other roofing systems, especially if the roof was properly installed. The maintenance practices needed to keep a metal roof in good shape include looking for branches, leaves or any other debris that could get stuck on the roof and in the gutters at least twice a year or after powerful storms.

Environmental Friendly

Metal roofing is known to be environmentally friendly. First, most metal roofing options are highly recyclable; this simply means that old panels, manufactured excess scraps or any torn-off metal can be recycled for future use.

Secondly, some metal roofing materials like aluminium is made from recycled materials, while metals like copper and zinc are found in the environment or in the Earth’s crust which means they are sustainable and can be replenished by nature over time. As a homeowner, you need to specify before construction and installation about the value of recycled content to you.

Warranties

One of the benefits of choosing a metal roof is the provision of warranties by the manufacturers or suppliers. Two of the very popular types are weathertight warranties which cover leaks in the roofing system and paint warranties which provide cover for specific levels of degradation of the paint system which is applied to the metal substrate.
