Metal roofing provides an amazingly durable, low-maintenance weather protection with a very long lifespan. With the ever-increasing color and style options, metal roofing is finding acceptance not only in commercial, but architectural and residential applications. Advanced coatings like PVDF have been proven to resist fading and chalking for over 40 years, making appearance issues a thing of the past. While initial installation costs may be higher than a composition roof, it will last more than three times longer and therefore making a low-maintenance metal roof a much greater value. A metal roof is lightweight, allowing more options such as reroof over an old roof without tear-off.
