Steel RoofingFor those looking for a light-weight roofing solution, you can't go wrong with a steel roof! Providing superior durability, weight-saving, energy efficiency to more traditional roofing materials, steel is becoming an increasingly popular choice of material. The ease of installation allows huge savings on labor costs, and for those who want to help save the planet, steel roofs are highly recyclable. Most steel roofs are now made from stainless steel, often alloyed with harder metals such as chromium, and coated with zinc and aluminium to create a superior material that is both lighter and stronger than conventional steel, and greatly reduces the maintinence costs. Unlike most other roof types, steel roofs can last as long as 75 years, and being highly resistant to fire, they become an excellent choice in hot and dry areas, especially when combined with a highly reflective coating, which allows the building to remain cooler by increasing thermal efficiency, leading to massive savings on air conditioning costs. Whilst steel roofs have a lot of advantages, and require less maintinence than other roof types, good maintinence is still essential. The roof coating will have to be periodically replaced to continue to protect the surface from UV light and weather conditions. Because metal roofs experience a large amount of thermal cycling, an elastic coating that is able to cope with this is very important. Steel roofs are a popular choice of roofing material in the Southern states such as Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina. | ||
