What are the Benefits of Metal Roofs? Metal roofs offer substantial advantages over traditional materials:
- Longevity: Metal roofs can endure anywhere from 40 to 70 years, depending on the material and finish. Traditional asphalt roofing materials typically have a life expectancy of only 12 to 20 years.
- Durability: When properly installed, some metal roofs can withstand wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour, will not corrode or crack, and may be impact-resistant (depending on the specific product you choose). Furthermore, metal roofs do not necessitate the costly care that other roofing materials often require, though they should be inspected regularly.
- Safety: During a wildfire or lightning strike, metal roofs will not spark and ignite into flames, adding a layer of protection to your property.
- Energy Conservation: Metal roofs reflect the sun's UV and infrared light rays, which contribute to radiant heat on the roof surface. This can result in a 10-25% reduction in cooling expenses.
- Environmentally Responsible: Metal roofs not only offer 25-95% recycled content, depending on the material chosen, but they are also 100% recyclable when they are eventually replaced. In contrast, the majority of shingle tear-off debris- up to 20 billion pounds per year- winds up in the building-related waste stream.
Choosing Your Metal Roofing Profile - We supply metal roofing in a variety of styles, which primarily determines the look and installation method:
- Classic Rib (Mac Rib): This is one of the most popular and cost-effective profiles, featuring tall, symmetrical ribs. It uses exposed fasteners (screws visible on the panel surface) and is ideal for residential, agricultural, and commercial buildings due to its simple installation and excellent drainage. We carry options like the #1 Mac Rib metal roofing and warranted panels up to the 20 year Mac Rib metal roofing.
- 5V Crimp: A more traditional and distinct agricultural look, featuring V-shaped ribs. It also uses exposed fasteners and is known for its vintage aesthetic and reliable performance on lower-pitched roofs.
- Corrugated Metal: Recognized by its wavy texture, corrugated metal roofing is a popular, cost-effective choice for sheds, barns, and accent areas.
Installation and Accessory Essentials - The quality of your accessories dictates the longevity of your metal roof. We supply all necessary fastening and finishing components:
- Fasteners: We supply essential, color-matched metal screws with sealing washers to prevent leaks at the exposed fastener points.
- Trim and Flashing: Finishing pieces like the ridge cap (for the roof peak) and drip edge (for water runoff) are crucial for weather-proofing the entire system.
