Metal Roofing Options for Your Home

Metal roofing has a number of advantages when
compared to many other traditional roofing
options. Think about important features such as
durability, lightweight, easy to install,
affordable, fire rand heat resistance and the
fact that it is available in different types of
designs, styles and colors then you will agree
that overall, it is the best roofing option for
any discerning homeowner.

Corrugated Metal Roof This is a form of metal
roofing that employs panels of corrugated metal.
Even though this system does not typically appear
in many residential settings, there have been a
number of innovations that have caused
manufacturers to produce panels that have a more
pleasant visual appeal and they are therefore
suitable for any urban building code. In the past
these panels were made using galvanized steel but
there are several other metals that are starting
to receive favor.

Standing seam panel This is a metal roofing
system that employs flat sheets of metal such as
stainless steel, copper or aluminum and they are
joined using a raised seam. The joints are
thereafter locked together while the edges are
folded back over to create what becomes a
powerful watertight seal. The metal that is used
s roll formed and cut into measurements according
to the size of the roof. This is perhaps the
oldest and most well-known form of metal roofing
and the installation process requires the skills
that are only found with professional metal
roofing companies.

Metal shingles Metal shingles have been molded
to resemble the typical asphalt shingles or many
others made from other different materials. They
can be made to look like ceramic shingles, slate,
cedar, wood or composition shingles. This type of
metal roofing sheets can also be painted or
embossed to suit the design preferences of any
homeowner.

Advantages to metal roofs One of the greatest
advantages of metal roofing is the fact that it
is a low maintenance roofing material that can
last your entire lifetime. In fact most
contractors have no qualms giving homeowners a
lifetime guarantee. When it is properly
installed, perhaps the only form of maintenance
that it will ever require is the removal of
debris from it surface.

When most people hear the term metal roofing they
imagine that it is a heavy substance nothing
could be further from the truth. Metal roofing is
made using materials that are much lighter than
many others roofing materials in the market,
because of it slight weight, there are times when
homeowners decide to lay it over the already
existing roof instead of going through the
process of removing the old roof.
