Weather Protection
For durable, long-lasting roof or wall cladding systems that will stand up to weather extremes, look no further than metal. Steel and aluminum metal panels come in a variety of profiles and colors to suit any creative vision. They are environmentally friendly, can be made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of life, which often is 40 years or more. Metal roofs and walls contribute to earning LEED building credits, utilize durable coatings that endure harsh climates and help reflect the heat of the sun. Additionally, the strength and durability of metal provides excellent resistance to high winds, even at hurricane-level force, and resist damage from flying debris. When properly installed by a professional, interlocking panels provide a watertight seal to prevent damage during heavy rains and hurricanes.
Answers to Questions about Metal Roofing
Yes! Metal roofing has many energy-efficient features:
Properly installed metal roofing is highly wind-resistant, watertight and able to withstand impact from hail or other debris. No roof is hurricane-proof, however metal roofs provide a great solution in areas with extreme weather conditions. Look for metal roof systems that perform well under testing conditions, including:
Metal roofing systems also can be tested for other performance features such as fire resistance, overall durability, thermal performance, material strength, and adhesion and coating testing. Are metal roofs compatible with solar panels?
Yes! Metal roofs are a popular choice for solar panel installations. Here is why they are a good match:
Metal roofing and wall systems are known for their longevity and low maintenance. The overall lifespan depends on a variety of factors including the type of metal used, quality of installation, coating and finish quality, climate conditions and maintenance practices. In general, metal walls and roofs have an expected lifespan of 20-40 years, and possibly even longer depending on location and other factors.
