Our Metal Roofing Systems Information
Recyclability
-All metal profiles are 100% recycleable.
Reduced Waste
-Metal Roofing is lightweight, allowing it, in many cases, to be installed over existing roofs. This minimizes the need to tear off and dispose of existing materials, which can have monetary and ecological savings.
- Installing metal roofing over existing shingles provides an extra layer of insulation and acts as an additional sound barrier.
- The life span of metal roofing is 50 + years, reducing the need to replace it. If it does need to be replaced, the tear-off material can be recycled
Recycled Content
- Most metal roofs have recycled content ranging from 25% to 95%
- Conventional roof shingles have a much shorter life-cycle and use oil-based products as their primary raw material.
Energy Efficiency
-Metal reflects up to 70% of the sun's energy, thus minimizing heat retention. This results in less heat being transferred into the building's structure.
- Metal roofing can sustain up to 34% less heat gain than asphalt shingles.
Clean Water Runoff
- Metal roofing does not support mildew or algae, and is not produced with petroleum by-products.
- It does not contribute to the contamination of rainwater, therefore it is one less concern for well users.
Interior Fungus
- Metal Roofing is a hydrokinetic material which allows water and snow loads to shed from the roof plane.
-It is also a hydrostatic material, a water barrier, which protects a roof system from growing fungus created by moisture. This fungus has a tendency to live on other roofing materials.
Algae Growth
-Black algae streaks, commonly seen on roofs in the country, absorb the sun's energy and increases the temperature in a home's attic. This results in increased energy costs to cool a home and premature deterioration of the roofing material.
While asphalt traps heat... Metal Roofs reflect solar energy... And pigments re-emit heat.

The fluoropolymer finish with the brand name KYNAR 500® or HYLAR 5000® is one of the finest finishes available for aluminum or galvanized steel, noted for its long life, color retention and resistance to fading and chalking.
The molecular bonding of the carbon and fluorine is one of the strongest known, and key to unsurpassed thermal, chemical and ultraviolet resistant properties. This bond is combined with carbon/hydrogen groups to form a unique polarity that gives the finish outstanding resistance to dirt retention and environmental aging. This fluoropolymer based finish is factory applied and oven baked by the coil coater. The metal can be bent, shaped, crimped, and formed after being coated, without blistering.
KYNAR 500® or HYLAR 5000® finishes are virtually maintenance free and non-staining. Should cleaning be required, either conventional detergents or solvent-type cleaners, as recommended by the supplier, can be used. A fluoropolymer coated panel will look as good years from now as it does when installed
