Materials
Environmentally friendly, metal roofing is made from both recycled and new materials. It is also 100% recyclable. It’s reflective properties make it more energy efficient. These combined qualities make metal roofing a part of the sustainable design movement. Steel and aluminum are the most common materials used in metal roofing. However, copper and zinc are also available.
Steel
Steel is one of the most common metal alloys used in building materials due to it’s recyclability and affordability. To help prevent rust, it is treated with a metallic coating layer. It’s strength, durability and low weight make it an ideal choice for a roofing material.
Aluminum
If you live in a marine environment or within two miles of the coast, you’ll require aluminum roofing materials. Aluminum roofing offers increased corrosion resistance which makes it the ideal choice for those abusive environments.
Copper and Zinc
Commonly called Natural Metal, copper and zinc offer high corrosion resistance. As it ages, it develops a patina for a unique look that is perfect for historic settings or for urban districts.
Types
Our qualified personnel can help you ascertain the perfect match of metal roofing type with your style preference. We provide three basic system types based upon construction and attachment methods. Each type offers different style options with specific advantages and appearances.
Vertical Seam
Pre-Formed Panels
The traditional-style roofing such as the shake and shingle is built with painted pre-formed panels that interlock. They are attached to the roof deck with hidden fasteners, which lends itself to a pristine look that will last far longer than traditional shakes and shingles.
Granular Coated Panels
Granular coated panels offer an added texture to the surface by embedding granules of stone within the acrylic coating. You can have the look of weathered shakes without the risks of flamability or rotting. They can be installed in a couple of different ways, either over a batten/counter batten wood grid system or to the deck of the roof.
