Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a popular choice for commercial applications because it's beautiful, offers low-maintenance, and is extremely durable; often lasting 2 to 3 times longer than an asphalt-based system. Highly resistant to the elements, it can be installed on low or steep-sloped roofs, and is available in a variety of styles and colors to match any building design.
Like any other elements that make up a building exterior, a metal roof has several basic elements that, when designed and installed properly, will provide a building with a roof surface that will yield decades of satisfactory service.
A metal roof is a functional element of a building that has certain wind load resistance responsibilities. It is certainly responsible for protecting the interior contents from the exterior atmospheric elements, but it has to have the capacity to remain in place to provide this protection. As has been evidenced by the effects of hurricanes, tornadoes, and the like, their capacity to withstand such devastating forces is unsurpassed in the roofing industry.

Commercial roofing contractors have long touted metal roofing for benefits such as durability, beauty, and energy efficiency. As more companies adopt "green" initiatives, metal roofing is getting a second look. With a variety of recyclable materials, new coatings such as heat barriers and reflective coatings, and panels that can easily accept solar cells, today's metal roofs are long lasting, beautiful, and energy efficient.
Energy Efficient
Lighter colored metal roofs reflect away much of the sun's UV rays, which can help keep your house cooler and lower cooling costs. In recent studies done in Florida, a metal roof can cut cooling costs by as much as 25% or more.
Environmentally Friendly
According to the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center, 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills annually. The recycled content of steel in metal roofing is much higher than the recycled content in asphalt shingles. Also, due to the low weight of metal roofing (about half that of shingles), in many cases it can be installed directly over your existing roof, saving the environmental as well as financial costs associated with removal and disposal.
