Why Metal Roofs – Durability
When choosing a roof for their building, most people want a maintenance-free structure that can withstand time and the elements. We have installed over 250 standing seam and screw down metal roofs and understand the benefits and durability that these structures provide.
Metal roofing offers superior performance and minimal upkeep with an expected life of 40 years. These roofs UL rated and typically provide the best resistance against weather throughout all areas of the country. Standing seam and screw down roofs provide customers a durable roof with a long life that gives them years of worry-free protection against Mother Nature.
Why Metal Roofs – Cool Metal Roofs
For most consumers, energy efficiency is the most important factor in choosing the material for a new roofing project. Business owners that choose a metal roof for its energy efficiency find that its lifespan and design options are perks that go along with their decision.
Metal roofs can be installed with heat-deflecting coatings which reduce cooling loads, resulting in dramatically lower rates of energy consumption. It is not uncommon for our customers to see a savings of up to 40 percent of total heating and cooling costs.
These results are reached through solar reflectance and infrared emittance. Reflection by metal roofs can reach 70 percent and emittance has been calculated at 90 percent. No matter in which region of the country you’re located, metal roofs offer energy efficient benefits for the entire life of the roof.
Why Metal Roofs – Maintenance
At Steelsmith we have found that most customers do not fully realize the benefits of the low maintenance metal roofs until after they are installed. The majority of our metal roofs are installed with a sloped design that allows the structure to self-drain. The water run-off acts as a sweep to remove debris and prevent fungus build-up. Our self-draining roofs maintain the deflective properties of the roof coating.
