Weather Resistant

Properly installed metal roofing systems will withstand inclement weather (high winds, hail, snow and rain) better than any other roofing material. With proper installation, metal roofing is just as lightening-resistant as other roofing material.

Non-Combustible

Metal roofing systems carry fire ratings that can reduce the homeowner’s overall insurance rate due to the fire-resistance of metal.

Life Expectancy

A quality metal roof that is properly installed could last the lifetime of the owner. In fact, because metal withstands so many elements, metal roofing is known for its extensive life cycle.

Aesthetics

Metal roofing is beautiful as well as durable and is available in many different styles, configurations, and colors to fit diverse architectural requirements and tastes. The local building codes and neighbourhood by-laws should be addressed when considering metal roofing.

Weight

Metal roofing can weigh as little as 1/10th as much as competing materials, translating to lower transportation costs as well as construction costs.

Environmentally Acceptable

A metal roof typically requires less labour to install than either shingle, shake or tile. Exceptions to this rule would be complicated roofs requiring extensive sheet metal work.

Cost Effective Application

Metal roofing reflects and absorbs heat more efficiently than competing materials translating to lower cooling costs. It also sheds snow and water for extended life.

Lower Lifetime Cost

Although the initial cost of metal roof systems may be higher than shingles, the cost/benefits ratio over the life of the roof is superior to that of a shingle system and far superior to either shake, slate or tiles.
