metal ROOFING SYSTEMS

Metal roofing materials offer a distinct set of advantages and challenges, but their incredible durability is ideal for Albertas winters, winds, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Metal roofing systems can last over 50 years, with the appropriate maintenance performed, which is over three times longer than asphalt shingle alternatives.

Let's consider the pros and cons of a metal roof:

PROS
Durability. 48% of respondents in a McGraw-Hill survey cited the strength and resilience of metal roofing as the primary reason for using it in new construction or as a replacement.


Environmentally friendlier than asphalt, most metal roofing materials are derived from partially recycled products and are recyclable themselves.


The Sound. Some individuals find the gentle noise of rain on a metal roof soothing, aiding relaxation and sleep.

CONS

The Sound. The noise from hailstorms and extreme weather events could be bothersome or make severe weather seem worse than it is. We can discuss various textures and materials that offer optimal soundproofing.


Aesthetic imperfections from denting are trade-offs for durability. Although your roof's integrity will remain intact during hailstorms, ice storms, and rain or snow, dents may occur.


Metal roofing typically costs significantly more than the low-cost asphalt alternative.
