They
Can Hold Up To Ice And Snow!
Metal roofing products do not
absorb moisture and therefore
have excellent compatibility
with snow and ice.
Freeze/thaw cycles do not
cause the panels to raise
because of their interlocking
design and nailing clip
fastening system. Because of the
excellent snow shedding
capabilities of our products,
the risk of leaking due to ice
dams is almost non-existent.

Excellent
Weathering and Warranty!
Many products rely on felt
underlayments to maintain a
sound waterproof membrane.
Unfortunately, these
underlayments (if they are not
synthetic like the
RoofTopGuard2, Sharkskin,
Triflex-30 or Titanium UDL we
use) become brittle and
can fail causing a leak.
Over time, all traditional
roofing products will split,
break, crack, curl, warp or
absorb water. But not our
metal roofing! With a
heart of steel, aluminum or
copper, metal roofing delivers
consistent all-weather
performance.

Environment-Friendly!
Metal is 100% recyclable.
There is little waste and it can
be recycled an infinite number
of times without degradation.
Most often metal roofing can be
installed directly over an
existing wood or composition
roof (depending on your local
building code) which eliminates
tearing off of the old roof and
burdening over capacity
landfills. Asphalt roofing is
considered "future
landfill"
The
National Association of
Homebuilders Research Center has
estimated that somewhere in the
neighborhood of 20 BILLION
pounds of asphalt shingles
are thrown into American
landfills every year, enough so
that if a year’s worth of
tossed out shingles were loaded
onto tractor-trailers, and then
set bumper-to-bumper, they would
stretch from New York to Los
Angeles, back to New York, and
then on to Chicago, according to
the Metal Roofing Alliance.
Also, since it takes an
estimated 300 years for
asphalt shingles to decompose,
by the time Year 1 shingles have
disintegrated into the earth,
there will have been 6 TRILLION
more pounds of asphalt
shingle waste discarded in US
landfills. Just think, that’s
about a pound of asphalt shingle
waste for every dollar of the
U.S.’s national budget
deficit.
