There are a wide variety of metal roof panels systems available to the residential homeowner ranging from new construction to re-roofing. It is a lightweight, durable and weather-resistant material.
Metal roof panels are fabricated from a variety of metals including aluminum, copper, lead, glavalume, glavanized steel, pre-finished steel, stainless steel and zinc. Some metals are naturally weathering and therefore do not require paint or coating for protection, others may require coatings for protection. Selection of the metal type roof depends on such factors as expected performance, suitability, compatibility, economics, and aesthetics.
BENEFITS:Stronger than traditional roofing materials Metal roofing systems offer a wide variety of shapes and colors, allowing them to resemble different styles and materials such as cedar shakes, tile, slate and even asphalt shingles.
Lightweight metal roofing weighs about 1/3 to 1/2 as much as asphalt shingles, and much less than tile or slate. This is very important in reducing the weight of your roof.
Long-life prepainted metal roofs can last 30 to 50 years or more than composition roofs. In addition, new high-performance paint systems used on metal roofing can be guaranteed for 25 years. This ensures that your metal roof will continue to look good, while it continues to keep out the elements.
