Steel Roofing 101 Gallery Visualizer Resources FAQ Manufacturers Contact
Durable in Different Weather Conditions
Whether for commercial or residential applications, a steel roof is a versatile product designed to meet a variety of building styles. It is being used in many countries in a wide range of climates. It can withstand wind forces to 120 mph, and since it is steel, it is free from potential termite damage. Steel can also resist damage due to freezing and thawing because of the nonporous exterior.
“Elegant” and “long-lasting” are equally important characteristics when choosing a roof to protect your most prized investment – your home. In fact, a steel roof may be the last roof you ever need. The strength and durability of a steel roof is combined with the versatile good looks of a vertical rib, standing seam or tile profile to give you the widest possible selection. A steel roof has the durability of a commercial-grade roofing material, and offers the richness and beauty to enhance your home’s appearance.
Wildfire Protection
Wildfire season in North America starts earlier, lasts longer and affects more areas than ever before, making it a priority for homeowners to consider better ways to protect their homes against the increasing threat.
Other tips to protect homes during the wildfire season from sources such as the National Roofing Contractors Association include:
Create a defensible barrier
Trim tree branches away from the roof. Keep gutters clean as dried leaves and vegetation can create the ideal ignition conditions for a wayward spark.
Maintain your roof all year long
Have a professional roofer inspect your roof, clear off flammable debris and repair any missing or damaged components to prevent embers from nestling into vulnerable or exposed areas.
When re-roofing, consider long-term performance and protection
Choose durable, nonflammable materials, such as steel roofs, and ensure your roof has a Class A rating for fire-resistant performance, especially near any wildfire-prone area.
Pay attention to your roof’s components
Use only vent covers that will not readily burn or melt.
