Care of Metal Roof | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 9/2/2011	We're preparing to re-roof our home and are considering metal panels. While searching online I came to a site informing that it is advisable to wash painted metal panels annually to control chalk, discoloration, etc. and lists what products should and should not be used. Is this a common problem with this product? Is this true that one needs to have the metal panels washed annually? I thought that metal roofs were virtually care-free and the benefits outnumber the problems.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/16541/find/

Look for a quality coating on your metal roof.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/16542/find/
