Benefits of a Steel Roof
No other roofing material compares to steel roofing!
Light, strong and durable, steel roofing comprises about 80 percent of the metal roofing market, and demand for this long-lasting, sustainable roofing material continues to rise. Builders, as well as business and homeowners, like the long life of a steel roof. It is made from a zinc-coated steel that provides excellent corrosion resistance and weather durability, giving the roofing system long life. In addition to being much lighter and stronger than traditional roofing materials, steel roofing systems offer a wide variety of shapes and colors, allowing them to resemble different styles and materials.
Every day the typical roof is subjected to heat, wind, rain, hail, snow and direct exposure to UV rays. It stands to reason that the investment you make in your roof protects the entire investment of your home. A steel roof is the surest way to secure the investment you’ve made in your property because it outperforms all other roofing material.
Steel roofing: the natural choice for any environment
- Steel roofing is extremely durable. Pre-painted steel roofs can easily last 30 years or more.
- Steel will not crack, shrink or otherwise react to the effects of humidity and sunlight, extending the roofing system’s life beyond other materials.
- Steel is noncombustible, enhancing safety in the case of lightning strikes or other ignition sources, and is not an inviting habitat for termites and other insects.
- In new construction projects, lightweight steel roofing reduces internal structural support requirements, lowering material costs and labor. Disposal costs are a routine part of cost estimates given for re-roofing jobs, however, with steel roofing systems, disposal costs are minimized.
- Steel roofing is lightweight and can often be installed directly over most old roofs, resulting in quicker installation time and less material that ends up in the landfill.
