Q: What are metal roof systems?
A: Metal roof systems are made of overlapping sheets or shingles of corrugated galvanized steel although other metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and tin are possible alternatives. The metal is available in multiple gauges (thickness), and this system has the capacity for solar reflectance and thermal emittance.
Q: What’s the difference between corrugated roof panels and a standing seam metal roof?
A: Corrugated panels are less expensive and easier to install, but they use exposed fasteners that penetrate both the metal panel and the decking (or purlins) underneath. With standing a standing seam metal roof, the fasteners are hidden underneath the folded metal seams, and protected from both water and UV degradation. While a corrugated metal roof is less expensive, a standing seam metal roof will last a lot longer.
Q: What is the maintenance like for metal roof systems?
A: Metal system roofs are very durable and often require little maintenance. Adding a protective coating may assist with the metal’s resistance to UV light. Our installation teams have the experience needed to understand where this may occur and will help you create a metal roof that will perform for the years to come.
Q: How are metal roof systems installed?
A: Installation of metal roof systems can often be very efficient and the installation offers an environmentally friendly approach. Fasteners are typically utilized that consist of a standing beam roof, an exposed fastened roof and a concealed fastened roof. A standing beam roof installs with interlocking panels. Exposed Fastened roofs are secured with fasteners that are visible after installation. Whereas concealed fastened roof systems have hidden fasteners. Installation also allows for UV coatings and color choices.
Q: What are the advantages to a metal roof?
A: Metal roof systems offer many advantages as compared to roofs made of softer materials. Metal roof systems are very durable and hold up well to the elements in both hot and cold environments. The durability of metal roof systems allows use in corrosive environments such as manufacturing facilities. Metal also has the distinct advantage of coming in multiple color choices making this application one of the most aesthetic choices.
Q: What to know before replacing or repairing a metal roof?
A: Metal roofs can get very hot making adequate ventilation necessary. Water and ice shields may be needed depending on the climate of the building. Metal roof systems are also not an ideal choice for completely flat roofs. Typically a large sloped roof or low slope roof is a better choice for a metal application. The experts at TeamCraft Roofing have decades of experience with metal commercial roof systems, and we can help ensure your business will be properly evaluated giving you the peace of mind that you made the right roof decision.
