Low Life Cycle Cost & Durability
High-quality, pre-painted metal roofs afford an attractive life cycle cost in addition to many other advantages.They will not crack, shrink, or erode, making them a long lasting alternative to many conventional roofing materials.
Choices of Design Appearances & Color
A homeowner can achieve the “designer” look with a wide selection of styles and colors. The aesthetically unique roofs will likely have a positive influence on re-sale.
Weight
Pre-painted metal affords a very light-weight roof for both can be realized when compared to some heavy weight alternatives.
Installation Over Existing Roofs
Pre-painted metal can usually be installed over existing roofs. Disposal of old conventional materials can be difficult and costly. The use of pre-painted metal can often solve this problem.
Fire Resistance
Consider the fact that metal doesn’t burn! Non-combustibility should offer protection from external hazards such as windblown sparks or lightning when properly grounded.
Wind Resistance
Properly installed prepainted metal roofs should not need periodic repair or replacement due to wind damage or storms. Properly installed pre-painted metal roofs do not absorb water or moisture. Water can damage most other roofing materials by rotting or cracking during a freeze-thaw cycle.
Water Absorption
Properly installed pre-painted metal roofs do not absorb water or moisture. Water can damage most other roofing materials by rotting, cracking, or during a freeze-thaw cycle.
Snow & Ice Shedding
Pre-painted metal readily sheds snow and ice, a distinct advantage in high snow areas.
Sound Deadening
Rain noise on a metal roof is not a factor when installed over a flat deck and insulation.
Energy Efficient
Consider the radiant heat reflectance of light colored metal in warm climates, resulting in cooling cost savings.
