5 Types of Metal Roofing companies use
Aluminum roofs are saltwater corrosion resistant and have longevity on their side. There are so many more benefits. Continue reading down the page for some of the tremendous benefits of an aluminum roof.
Copper creates a stunning roof with a long life, but a soft metal with a low melting temperature. See our Copper
Roofing Installation page for more information.
Steel is an iron alloy mixed with another metal such as zinc or aluminum. Steel is tremendously common in Commercial Roofing and is gaining popularity with homeowners due to the color and style variations depending on which steel alloy is chosen. We have an entire page dedicated to Steel Roofing Installation and all the wonderful benefits and properties of that resilient roofing material.
Zinc is resistant to corrosion and has the lowest melting point. It’s uncommon for an exclusively zinc roof, but layered with steel is very common for its excellent natural properties.
Tin is a traditional roofing material that was commonly used prior to World War II. It is often mistaken for galvanized steel, but is rarely used when less expensive options with more desirable benefits are widely available in the roofing market today.
Style
Because of its muted, chic color, we are sure that aluminum will be something that you are interested in no matter what kind of roofing job you are looking for. Because of that, anyone interested in a new roof with us should take the time to make sure that they have a look at the aluminum option. It is the slick sliver cousin to copper and it is perfect for those whose home has more of a minimalist look. However, style is not the only factor here.
Let’s look at the other, more practical benefits that make aluminum and steel the right option for you.
Resists Saltwater Corrosion
An aluminum roof draws images of the beach houses along our Texas Gulf Coast. The reality is that aluminum doesn’t just resist saltwater corrosion. It is a highly reactive metal and immediately reacts with oxygen in its environment creating aluminum oxide. This instant reaction is what protects it. Aluminum oxide a very passive metal that at once seals the aluminum and becomes almost completely nonreactive and impervious to additional corrosion. This passive yet reactive contradictory nature of aluminum is why it makes an ideal roofing material. Additionally technologically advanced paint can be applied so the natural chalky white patina of weathered aluminum is covered in a color that stays on essentially like baked enamel.
Aluminum Benefits
Aluminum roofs are simply stunning. The color and style variations give you a unique asset to enhance the beauty of your home. A roof is also an investment in your future. Aluminum gives you decades of dependable use, much longer than traditional roofing materials. Metal’s ability to reflect the sun and heat away from your structure is a tremendous benefit that will save you money over the long haul.
So – as a material, aluminum is attractive and malleable and there are many different styles and looks that you can choose from. However, despite being a bit of a looker, it still has great durability, meaning that you are able to kill two birds with one stone if you choose this material for your roof. Also, it is energy-efficient and will make your home’s value increase over time. Sounds great, right? Get in touch
Cost
Aluminum’s price depends on market forces, usually falling in the range between steel and copper. Even though its strength to weight ratio is higher than steel, in our area, the typical tropical storm and occasional hurricane-force winds require a thicker aluminum (which is much stronger). As the professionals in the roofing industry, you can rely on Metal Roofing San Antonio to recommend the best material and options with the most modern technology to install the most durable roof for your home or business.
