Metal Roof and Wall Systems

It's no accident that modern metal roofing systems are adding excitement and color to all kinds of projects. Because metal’s getting better all the time — more colors, more profiles, more sophistication, more weather tightness and wind uplift resistance.

Metal roofing systems simply possess more structural integrity than inferior materials. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the use of metal in construction has increased while the use of wood and other materials have declined. This is because metal roofing will not warp, split, peel, or crack and is impervious to moisture, rot, insects and pests.

The inherent strength of steel as a construction material has made it one of the highest specified materials by the trained architects of today. The shear strength added to a building by a metal roofing system is an especially important factor in areas, which are prone to high winds, hail and earthquakes. Another benefit of metal is the fire resistance of the materials. The greatest risk of a fire spreading to a building is through ignition of the roofing materials and subsequent spreading down into the building. Metal will protect your home or business from flames and heat radiation far beyond that of conventional roofing materials.

Perhaps the greatest testaments to the structural superiority of metal roofing are the warranties. Few products carry 20-year warranties and 50-year warranties are available from some manufacturers. To many people, the added peace of mind involved with the security of a metal roofing system is well worth the cost.

  
 
 
         
    The look of copper is an elegant reflection of style and performance. Now MiraVista® Copper delivers this distinctive look with superior performance and at less cost than you would expect for copper roofing. Fashioned from 16-oz solid copper, our patented design allows the panels to be installed "shingle fashion" - progressing upward and across from right to left. An interlocking system locks the panels on all four sides and provides for a seamless installation. This design provides more depth and offers exceptional resistance to denting caused by hail, high winds, snow loads and foot traffic. MiraVista Copper comes with a 50 year limited, one-time transferable warranty and has earned a UL Class A fire rating when applied as part of an approved roofing system.
