Metal roofing is gaining popularity.

Longer life span, improved energy efficiency and a reduced environmental impact are just a few of the key benefits homeowners consider when choosing a metal roof. The initial cost is often more than a traditional asphalt roof; however, that cost is more than offset by its increased lifespan. Metal roofs can last 40 to 60 years saving significant money (and hassle of replacement) over the long-term. Besides longevity, metal roofing typically uses a reflective solar coating designed to minimise heat buildup and reduce air conditioning costs. And if all of that isn't enough, metal weighs less and instals more quickly than traditional shingle products. And for homeowners tired of constant asphalt shingle replacement, metal can often be installed over existing shingles which saves the cost/labour of shingle tear off as well as disposal/landfill fees.
A metal roof is simply a roofing system made using metal pieces, tiles, or panels. A metal roof is a part of the roofing envelope which is the physical separator between the inside and outside of the building and is designed to provide resistance to air, water, heat and sound. The roof also
contributes to structural support and is a significant contributor to the overall aesthetic appearance of a building.

    Types of Metal Roofing

    Metal shingles and simulated tile options:

    Met-Tile – Metal roof tiles. Met-Tile is lightweight, energy efficient and aesthetically attractive. A Met-Tile roof looks so much like tile, most people are surprised to learn that they are actually metal roof tiles.
    Milan (steel shingles) – Milan steel shingles add beauty and curb appeal to any home. Milan provides the aesthetic appearance of shingles, slate or shake with all the benefits of metal.
    Tilcor stone coated roofing – It has been specifically designed to resemble the look of traditional Asphalt Shingles but without the inherent ongoing issues that many home owners face.

    Metal roof retrofit and recovery.

    Metal roofing is packed full of benefits such as life expectancy, durability, energy-efficiency, recyclable, aesthetically pleasing.
    Retrofit roofing systems consist of adding sub-structural components to the existing flat roof to build a slope into the structure and provide a platform to install new metal roofing panels. Once complete, your new metal roof will add tremendous curb appeal, become more energy-efficient, and have a decades-long service life.

    Benefits of metal roofing systems:

    • They are not noisy when it rains. The confusion stems from the construction of the roof. When the roof assembly (decking/insulation/underlayment) match that of a shingle roof, the noise level is no different. But it’s no wonder folks miss this small differentiator. On a house, layers of building materials like the roof deck, insulation and drywall between the metal roof are similar to conventional shingles.
    • Metal roofing lowers utility expenses. It actually reflects much of the sun’s heat and energy. That’s because the coating used on modern metal roof panels incorporates special pigments that reflect the sun’s energy and release heat that is absorbed throughout the day.

    • Metal roofs add beauty to any house. Residential metal roofing is available in a variety of aesthetically pleasing designs that can heighten the curb appeal of any home.
    • Metal roofing doesn’t increase the risk of lighting strikes. The odds of a lighting strike hitting a metal roof are the same as any other roof, regardless of material.
    • A metal roof provides better weather protection than other materials. Compared to shingles and clay tile, metal roofing holds up better against extreme winds in addition to being fire resistant.
