Hard Metal Roofing FAQ's
When it comes to high-wind areas there are a few factors that can make all the difference to protect your property. These include the roof shape, pitch, and material. Using specific roof shapes and pitches the wind is directed around the roof and prevents uplift. Combine that with having very little overhang; you will have an extremely durable roof.
In terms of materials, the most obvious choice is metal. What most people are not aware of is that metal tiles can be flat or shaped to look like clay barrel tiles which add additional protection to the property allowing the wind to follow the curves rather than lift them.
Like every roofing material, they all have their place in roofing and their advantages and disadvantages. Metal roofs can fade in time or may be susceptible to staining. If not installed correctly, metal roofs can fail at the seams. It’s essential to have a metal roof installed by a qualified, experienced metal roofing contractor. Metal roofs are considerably more expensive than most other options.
