WHAT IS METAL ROOFING AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT? 

Metal roofing can be a great choice as it is the most sustainable option. A metal roof is energy-efficient, fire-safe, and has a longer lifespan than other roofing materials, lasting up to 50 years or more. An asphalt roof, in comparison, needs replacing every 25-30 years. 

People are often deterred by the higher costs associated with purchasing a metal roof for their home or commercial property, but often the money you pay upfront will save large costs down the road. This type of roof requires little to no maintenance, so you will most likely never have to replace it.

STRONG & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Metal roofs are highly durable and resistant to fire, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions while shedding debris. Metal roofing products are typically composed of recyclable materials, making it a win for the environment!

INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME

A metal roof may be more costly than other roofing options, but it will add to the overall value of your home. Along with its stability, strength, and longevity, you can rest assured you’ll not have to worry come resale time.

If you look up while walking past warehouses, malls, schools, or any commercial building, you’ll likely see the flat roofing style. It’s a popular form of roofing style for commercial buildings because it can cover large surfaces with ease and generally, at a lower cost when compared to other roofing styles.

THE BENEFITS OF A FLAT ROOF: 

Cost

Aside from generally being quicker to install, cutting down on labour costs, the materials are also typically more affordable. Flat roofs are also extremely low-maintenance, overall requiring fewer repairs over their lifespan saving dollars every year.
Solar panels can easily be installed on this type of roof, saving you money on electricity costs.

Safety
Flat roofs are also much safer for inspections, cleaning, and maintenance. Cleaning the gutters is a lot more pleasant when you don’t have to worry about slipping on your ladder!
Space
Another advantage to a flat roof is the increase in usable space. If you don’t have much of a yard, your roof can be used as a patio to barbecue, host gatherings, or relax and take in the view.

FLAT ROOF DRAWBACKS: 

Flat roofing is not as popular with residential properties. Although stylish, this particular roof style does not always fit well in neighborhoods, and its low slope can collect water. Since they do not drain as easily as pitched roofing, we would likely have to install additional mechanisms to ensure proper drainage. 

Property with flat roofing tends to have less stability and may not be able to withstand weight naturally, so professional builders may have to compensate elsewhere in the construction to ensure the building’s strength. There may also be less space for insulation, making your home more sensitive to extreme temperature changes.
