What is Metal Roofing?

Metal roofing gained popularity in North America during the 19th century, thanks to innovations in corrugated metals and galvanization from Europe. Prior to these advancements, North American buildings often featured lead and copper roofing elements. Today’s metal roofs are primarily constructed from corrugated galvanized steel, which is a steel sheet coated with zinc. Other materials like copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and tin are also used in commercial applications. Additional coatings can be applied to enhance waterproofing, prevent rust, and protect against UV rays.

Benefits of Metal Roofing

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is durable and long-lasting, and it requires minimal maintenance. It is also an energy-efficient roofing material, reflecting sunlight to reduce cooling costs.

Durability:
Metal roofs and siding come in various thicknesses and finishes designed to withstand wear and tear, harsh environments, and pollutants.

Longevity:
With proper installation and maintenance, a commercial metal roof can last between 25 and 50 years, and in some cases, up to 60 years. Metal roofing is non-combustible, making it ideal for areas with a high risk of fires.

Weather Resistance:
Metal roofs and siding excel in handling heavy rain and snow, efficiently shedding both.

Visual Customization:
Enhance your facility’s appearance with metal roofs and siding by selecting custom colors and elements to align with your brand. They are well-suited for unique profiles and architectural accents.

Lightweight:
Metal roofing simplifies installation and can be used in a wider range of applications compared to heavier roofing materials.

Sustainability:
Properly installed metal roofs and siding can significantly reduce energy bills due to added insulation and reflective surfaces. Their durability allows for extended use and recycling when replacement is needed. In many cases, metal panels can be retrofitted over existing roofs or combined with insulation and single-ply membranes to minimize landfill waste and maximize budget efficiency.

Metal Roof Installation Process

Installing commercial metal roofing and siding is typically fast and straightforward, whether for a new installation, reroofing, or retrofitting. Metal panels are lightweight and easy to handle, enabling efficient contractor work.

Flute Fill Systems for Commercial Facilities

Metal panels’ durability makes them ideal for retrofitting rather than replacing. The retrofit process involves inserting insulation panels into the flutes of your metal roof, adding a recovery layer or insulation, and then installing a new roof membrane. Flute fill systems offer several advantages:

  • Cost Savings: Reduces roofing costs by eliminating the need for a tear-off and disposal of the old roof.
  • Added Insulation: Enhances energy efficiency and improves the R-value.
  • Moisture Resistance: Insulates gaps and prevents moisture buildup.
