Metal Roof Sheeting

What you need to know in order to get the metal sheeting that’s right for you.

Metal sheeting is an economical commercial roofing solution for many businesses. Popular due to its affordability, light-weight, transportable nature, and all around durability; metal roof sheeting has been integral in providing an alternative to more expensive types of roofing around the world, especially in developing and third world countries. With the ever advancing technology of roof coatings and fastening systems, having a metal roof that works for you and your business has never been easier.

When selecting a metal roof, it’s important that you consider your environment, the size of your roof, and your budget first. If your business is in an area where extreme weather such as very hot or cold temperatures or hail and snow are common, then you’ll need to pick a metal roofing material that is extremely durable and thick. Your metal roof sheeting will also need to have a very good protective coating as well, to ensure that it will stand up to the elements and be resistant to rusting or material damage.

It is important to note that the more durable the metal material is, the more money it’s going to cost, so knowing the exact cost per square footage of any of the sheet metals that you are considering is important.

Sheet metals
Metal sheet roofing is typically comprised of large single sheets or smaller individual panels that can be custom made or bought pre-manufactured, and then these sheets are then secured by clips or screws.

The sheet metal can be made from any number of materials including: aluminum, zinc, steel, copper, and even lead, however one of the more widely used materials is a hybrid of two of these metals. Zincalume is composed of both zinc and aluminum and has been proven to be a superior roofing material. Each sheet metal material varies in price according to their durability and the installation system that is used to install them.

Regardless of the sheet metal that you select, it’s also important to make sure that the sheet metal has a protective coating and a good warranty to ensure that your metal roof will last. A good protective coating will prevent rusting and corrosion, be fire and spark resistant, as well as reflecting heat away from your structure all of which can save your business time and money. Having a great warranty will also safeguard you from future out-of-pocket expenses and minor repairs.
