METAL ROOFING MATERIALS

Residential metal roofing is available in a wide range of materials, coatings and paint options. These options are important and should be considered when selecting your new roof.

Steel - Galvanized & Galvalume

Steel is the most common metal roofing material thanks to its high strength, low weight and long-term durability. It’s also typically the most affordable. All steel roofing is treated with a metallic coating layer to help prevent rust.

Aluminum

Aluminum roofing is lighter than steel and offers increased corrosion resistance. This key benefit of aluminum roofing makes it an ideal choice for homes built in marine and coastal environments.

Copper & Zinc

Known as Natural Metal, both copper and zinc offer exceptional beauty as well as high corrosion resistance. Natural metal roofing develops a protective layer or patina with age for a stunning and distinctive look ideal for urban districts or historic settings.

Anodized Aluminum

Anodized aluminum is not a coating and therefore will not chip, flake, chalk or peel, making it a very durable, corrosion and abrasion resistant material. In addition, clear anodize product outperforms paint coatings in terms of SRI value and is considered “cool.”
