The premier roof for your commercial
building, metal roofs possess excellent strength, durability, and
fire resistance. Metal roofs are available in a variety of and
profiles and materials: Copper galvanized, aluminum, and the
popular coatings in colors.
Benefits of Metal Roofing
Metal roofs are attractive and come in a broad spectrum of colors
and designs.
Metal roofing is non-combustible and provides fire resistance. It
has received an A or B fire rating from several code bodies. It
has also received high ratings from Underwriters Laboratory.
Metal roofs are low maintenance and long lasting, resisting decay,
discoloration and mildew.
Metal roofs have excellent performance in wind resistance, water,
snow, and ice shedding. They are also hail resistant.
Metal roofs provide an excellent method for re-roofing existing
roofs and increase your building's value.
Metal roofs are energy efficient Standing seam roofs can be
insulated with almost any amount of insulation. Add the radiant
barrier effect to this and they are the most energy efficient of
any roofing system. Fiberglass blanket insulation is installed
directly under the panels and stretched over the supporting
structural members to reduce energy costs and dampen noise. Foam
insulation blocks also can be used between roof panels and
substructures to prevent thermal loss., with a natural radiant
barrier effect. Radiant Barriers block the transfer of heat from
the sun to your attic. Heat travels through your attic primarily
as radiant energy, rather than by conduction or convection. The
heat conducts to the underside of the roof deck and radiates down
to the top of the ceiling insulation, then into the room below. A
radiant barrier (e.g., metal roof) between the Sun and the ceiling
insulation breaks the chain. A radiant barrier reflects 97% of the
radiant heat back up to where it came from.
