R PANEL

R-PANEL

R-Panel is the main staple of commercial metal roofing. With  industry-leading looks and commercial grade strength, R-Panel excels in both aesthetics and practicality.

TUFF-RIB METAL ROOFING

TUFF-RIB

The TUFF-RIB panel, our most popular product, is unmatched in economy, performance and versatility. It is used mostly in residential applications but can be used for commercial buildings as well.

STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING

STANDING SEAM

For the finest in seamless metal roofing, our 1″ Standing Seam is truly a premium metal roofing system. The panel is designed to be installed one panel snapped over rib of another panel to hide the fasteners.

5V CRIMP METAL ROOFING

5V-CRIMP

5V-Crimp is a low-profile metal roofing panel with wide flats between ribs, giving it a look similar to our standing seam, but in a less expensive, exposed fastener version.

Why Should I Choose Metal Roofing Instead of Shingles?

When evaluating roofing options, a metal system often presents a more compelling long-term value proposition than traditional asphalt shingles. Beyond the immediate aesthetic appeal, the technical advantages span longevity, structural integrity, and significant environmental impact.

Here are the primary advantages of a metal roof, supported by technical evidence:

 

Exceptional Longevity and Life-Cycle Cost

    • Extended Service Life: Metal roofs can last up to 100 years, whereas asphalt shingles typically require replacement every 15–20 years.
    • Warranty Standards: Many installers provide 40-year warranties, reflecting a confidence in the material that shingle manufacturers rarely match.
    • Long-term Savings: Although the upfront cost is higher, metal is less expensive over its lifetime because it eliminates the need for multiple re-roofing cycles.

Superior Thermal Performance and Energy Efficiency

      • High Solar Reflectivity: Metal reflects 10%–75% of solar radiation, compared to the mere 5%–25% reflected by asphalt.
      • Reflective Retention: Metal maintains 95% of its reflective capacity over its lifespan, while other materials lose 20%–40% of their efficiency as they age and accumulate grime.
      • Utility Reductions: “Cool-color” metal combined with proper strapping systems can reduce summer cooling costs by 40% and winter heating costs by up to 15%, according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
      • Mitigation of Heat Island Effect: On a macro scale, metal roofing reduces the ambient temperature of urban areas compared to heat-absorbing asphalt.

    Environmental Sustainability

      • Recyclability: Metal is 100% recyclable and often contains a high percentage of recycled content.
      • Landfill Impact: Asphalt shingles are petroleum-based and contribute 20 billion pounds (9.1 million tons) to landfills annually, where they can take centuries to decompose.
      • Non-Toxic Lifecycle: Unlike shingles, which involve toxic chemicals during the recycling process, metal remains a clean, reusable resource.

    Structural Integrity and Weight

      • Low Structural Stress: Metal is lightweight, reducing the load on a building’s support system. This makes it ideal for older structures or large spans where maintaining integrity is vital.
      • Retrofit Compatibility: Because of its light weight, it can often be installed directly on top of an existing roof, saving on demolition and disposal costs.
      • Wind and Pest Resistance: The use of interlocking panels provides superior wind resistance compared to the individual tabs of shingles. Furthermore, metal is impervious to damage from pests and insects.

    Fire Resistance and Safety

      • Non-Combustible Material: Most metal roofing systems carry a Class A fire rating, the highest possible. Unlike asphalt, which contains petroleum and can ignite, metal provides a critical barrier against sparks or embers from wildfires or nearby building fires.

    Low Maintenance Requirements

      • Durability: Metal does not crack, peel, or erode like shingles do. It is highly resistant to moss and algae growth, which often plagues shingle roofs in humid climates, significantly reducing the need for chemical cleaning or repairs.
