5 YEAR WARRANTY | FREE ESTIMATES
If you’re contemplating a roof replacement, you might have come across stone coated steel roofing, an option that, while highly recommended, isn’t the most common in the market. To help you decide if it’s the right choice for you, here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of stone coated steel roofing.
Stone coated steel roofing isn’t your typical bare metal roofing. It can mimic the look of traditional shingles while offering the resilience and strength of metal. Made from 26- or 24-gauge rolled steel sheets with a rust-preventive coating, this type of roofing boasts a durable finish. The stone coated surface, featuring a thick, permanently adhered layer of stone, adds a decorative flair, blending aesthetics with the reliability of steel.
ADVANTAGES OF
STONE COATED STEEL ROOFING
EXCEPTIONAL DURABILITY
Steel is renowned for its exceptional durability, easily resisting extreme weather conditions like strong winds, heavy rain, and hail. Contrary to common belief that metal roofing is heavy, stone coated steel roofing is surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at approximately 100 pounds per square foot.
EXTENDED LIFESPAN
When correctly installed, metal roofs boast an impressively long lifespan. They can last between 40 to 70 years, far outlasting asphalt shingles, which typically require replacement every 20 years. The enduring nature of steel makes it an excellent long-term investment for the future of your home.
AESTHETIC VERSATILITY AND APPEAL
Functionality aside, the aesthetic appeal of your home is equally important. Stone coated steel roofs offer a vast selection of designs, colors, and textures, enabling them to complement virtually any architectural style. This versatility ensures your roof not only provides safety but also enhances your home’s overall look. Explore our diverse range of stone coated roof finishes to find the perfect match for your home.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
A common misconception about metal roofing is that it heats up excessively in summer, conducting heat into the home. In reality, metal roofs reflect the sun’s heat, unlike dark asphalt materials which tend to absorb it. This reflection helps reduce energy costs needed to keep the home cool and offers protection against the sun’s ultraviolet rays, making it an energy-efficient choice for your home.
LOW MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Steel roofs stand out for their minimal maintenance needs, unlike other roofing materials like asphalt that require regular inspections to remain in good condition. Offering a robust shield against harsh weather, steel roofs help significantly reduce the costs and efforts associated with repairing traditional roofing, ensuring lasting protection with minimal upkeep.
