Metal Roof Benefits

Constructed from sheet metal, a metal roof is a versatile and dependable option for both residential and commercial properties.

A metal roof can be constructed to meet the exact requirements of your location and property, as the material brings with it it’s own unique benefits and properties.

A Metal Roof can Enhance:

• Corrosion resistance
• Energy efficiency
• Heat reflection
• Lightning protection
• Radio frequency shielding
• Weather protection

Once your metal roof is installed you will have a durable and long-lasting roofing solution that will serve your residential or commercial property for years to come home, representing a tremendous investment that will save you both money and time, as well as providing efficiency and reliability.

Long-Lasting

If there’s one benefit that has drawn customers to metal roofing time and time again it’s the long-lasting durability it provides.

If installed properly, you can expect your metal roofing to have a lifespan of somewhere between 40 and 70 years — a stark contrast to the 10-20 you can expect from an asphalt shingle equivalent.

This stems from the durability that metal roofing provides. With its ability to withstand a wide range of weather and atmospheric conditions, it can also take on a rust proof coating that will prevent corrosion and cracking.

This is what ultimately offsets the higher upfront cost — turning a metal roof into a fantastic long term investment.

Low Maintenance

Going hand in hand with its reliability and durability is the lack of maintenance and upkeep a metal roof requires. This is because it’s invulnerable and protected against the disruptive elements that can affect asphalt and wood shingle roofs.

Of particular importance to owners on Vancouver Island and the West Coast is its ability to remain unaffected by the growth of moss, mould, fungus, and mildew — all vital if you’re near woodland areas or in a temperate climate.

Energy Efficient

Energy efficiency is one of the biggest concerns for any property owner, whether residential or commercial.

The more efficient your roofing choice is, the more sustainable your building, and the more money you save. This is an area where metal roofs are undoubtedly the best option. Why is that? Well, it’s all in the science of material properties. 

As metal roofs reflect solar heat instead of absorbing it, they’re able to significantly reduce cooling costs.

Resale Value

You may not be planning on selling your property soon, but there will come a time when you will, and when you do you’ll be thankful for the decision to install a metal roof.

A metal roof offers an environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and innovatively modern option - all qualities that are in demand when it comes to the property market.

As a durable option, there is also less chance a metal roof will need repairing or replacing when it comes to the time to sell, both things that will affect the price if they’re required. Typically, an asphalt roof is a bargaining tool for the buyer. A metal roof is an indisputable asset for the seller in any negotiation.

A Bold And Stylish Aesthetic Choice

While asphalt shingles offer a single basic look, metal roofing presents an option with almost limitless variety and a more sophisticated modern style that is perfect for both residential and commercial buildings. There are dozens of colours you can choose from to match the style and colour scheme of the home and the spacing of the seams can provide a drastically different aesthetic.
