WHY METAL ROOFING?
Besides being aesthetically pleasing, metal roofing provides additional advantages to the property owner.
•Impact Resistance•
Metal roofs typically pass the UL test standard 2218 for roof classification with a four, the highest rating. Steel retains its resistance to impacts for the duration of its service and will not deteriorate over time due to weather exposure.
•Fire Resistance•
Non-combustible, metal roofs are generally awarded a fire rating of Class A. Additionally, being much lighter than shingles, steel will maintain its structural integrity while placing less weight on the roof framing should a fire start within the structure. This could provide precious time to escape or give rescuers the extra moments needed to save a life.
•Energy Star•
In today's world, energy efficiency is the name of the game and your new metal roof could be a big player. Our 40-year silicon polyester paint system has Cool Roof technology providing the solar reflectance required to meet current Energy Star requirements. By reducing surface temperature, an appropriately colored roof can reduce energy demand by as much as 15%.
•Insurance Discounts•
Some, or all of the advantages listed above could qualify for insurance discounts. Check with your agent to see if these discounts are available to you!
