Here you’ll find some details on the types of metal that you can install on your rooftop:

Corrugated Metal Roofing

• Corrugated metal is prefabricated and cost-effective.
• Corrugation runs perpendicular to steel grooves to enhance strength.
• Directs water off of your roof.
• Galvanized steel rolled into a pattern.
• Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easily transported.
• Patterns may vary, corrugated metal is stacked like tile.
• The most popular styles of corrugated metal are U-panel and R-panel.

Standing-Seam Metal Roofing

• Aesthetic standing seam also protects the fasteners.
• Choose a specific seam type based on climate to protect your building.
• Come in snap-lock, mechanical lock, and batten panel seal types.
• Durable and cost-effective.
• Each seal type provides different protection.
• Seams stand up higher than the roof itself due to interlocking panels.
• Wide range of colors, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and seam types offered.

The Pros and Cons of A New Metal Roof

We understand that the roof you choose for your home or business is an important decision. Below you’ll find some points to consider to inform your choice better.

Pros Of Metal Roofing

• Durability: You can count on metal roofs to withstand the elements—including gusts of wind up to 140 miles per hour—and not corrode or crack thanks to rust-proof coatings.
• Longevity: A properly installed metal roof will last as long as the house, with an expected lifespan of 40 to 70 years and, often. (By contrast, traditional asphalt roofing typically lasts 12 to 20 years.)
• Sustainability: Metal roofs can be fully recycled at the end of their service life, with materials such as steel able to do so without losing strength or durability.

Cons Of Metal Roofing

• Noisy: Unless sheathed or insulated, (which can add to the total cost of your roof) metal roofing can add increasing noise to your home, particularly during rain and thunderstorms.
• Upfront Costs: Higher-end metal roofing materials can run over 10 times the cost of asphalt, and that’s not taking installation costs into account.
