Metal Roofs

Metal roofs are a cost-effective approach to having a roof that will last a lifetime. With metal roofs, there is no need to modify your home, and, in many instances, you won’t even have to change the roof trusses that are already there. Beautiful, long-lasting, and with a good return on investment, metal roofs help homeowners stand out from the rest of the neighborhood.

Metal Roof Types

Whether it’s pricing, color, or durability, every type of metal roof offers distinct advantages for homeowners. Selecting a material that will complement the design of your home while also fitting your budget and climate is essential for achieving the look and feel that fits uniquely to you and that you will love for many years to come. Here are a few of the most common and sought-after types of metal roofs:

Steel And Galvanized Steel

With a lifespan of up to 30 to 50 years, steel is highly durable, popular, and often the least expensive. Galvanized steel is frequently dipped in molten zinc to prevent rusting and corrosion. It may also be dipped in the aluminum-zinc alloy known as Galvalume to prevent rusting.

Aluminum

Aluminum is offered in many of the same embossed designs as steel, but it is lighter, softer, and more expensive. Aluminum is a great choice in locations with acidic rain or salty air since it doesn’t rust and has a 30- to 50-year lifespan.

Terne

Originally utilized in 18th-century Europe, the tin-and-lead-coated roof was frequently painted to preserve its iron substrate. Today, lead-free versions are naturally resilient to even the harshest elements and are made by sandwiching stainless steel between layers of tin. They never require painting, aging to a consistent matte gray, and can have lifespans lasting over 100 years.

Copper

Copper is the easiest metal to cut and shape and the most costly and long-lasting metal for roofing. Its brilliant, shining luster rapidly develops a protective brown patina when left uncoated. With time, this patina may even soften to a blue-green hue. When maintained properly, copper roofs can last up to 200 years.

Zinc

Like copper, zinc is inherently weather-resistant to the point that paint is unnecessary. It can easily be formed and worked with and is frequently alloyed with titanium for further strength and corrosion resistance. Zinc roofs are known to last from 80 to 100 years, as evidenced by the renowned rooftops of Paris that have weathered over time to an exquisite blue-gray.
