The Durability of Metal Roofing

Rod Noran • Jul 28, 2020

The task of your roofing system.

Roofing is the one part of the house that takes the most damage when safeguarding us from the aspects of mother nature. It has to cope with severe conditions varying from wintry ice to summer sun and often it can face both extremes at the same time. Numerous components just cannot withstand this diverse variety of abuse by the elements. It is extremely crucial to choose a strong roof made from a resilient and resistant material that will withstand almost anything. Advances in innovation have seen various new forms of roof along with advances in old strategies and reduces in cost, so the choices available when picking excellent roofs are wide.

For example, Central State’s varied solutions from Panel-Loc, M-Loc, R-Loc, Standing Seam, Centra-Loc, and Horizontal-Loc are designed to meet numerous needs. This is one of the reasons 4W Metal became a dealer for Central States metal roofing products

Upkeep of your roofing

For all of the work that a roof does you would anticipate that both businesses and consumers would take it extremely seriously, but sadly it is an element that is often neglected until the worst takes place. Many people do not maintain their roof or perhaps have it checked on a regular basis but avoidance is a much better choice than remedy. By having regular checks on your roofing you can avoid expensive repairs when things go wrong.

Conventional roofing product compared to metal roof.

Asphalt and customized bitumen have formerly been the most typical choice when it concerns choosing a product for your roofing system, however in more recent years metal has decreased in expense and with new technology the sturdiness, defense, and flexibility have actually increased. Metal roofing has many uses; it is fire resistant, weather condition resistant, can be easily formed to fit your roofing system and has become even simpler to install. In fact, many metal roofing solutions now include, in Central State’s case, snap loc or interlocking panels. These solutions fulfill the extreme need to standardize installation and make it easy to cover concerns like fire resistance, high winds, and hail resistance.



The life of your metal roofing.

Metal roofing is very unlikely to rot, mould, split or crack. For this reason a metal roofing system means you can delight in a long life from your roof with comparably low maintenance expenses. It is likewise typically created from recycled products and is totally recyclable itself. So, it is a sustainable option for the environmentally minded as a great solution in southwest Missouri. The panels come in a variety of technological solutions. The varieties are essentially unlimited when you pick a metal roof install, and also include various metal gauges depending upon your particular needs. 



Metal roofing is generally made up of 50% recycled material and 100% of your metal roof will be recycled in the event that it does eventually require changing. Alternatively, asphalt needs a substantial amount of oil every year to produce shingles that last approximately 15 years. At the end of their life they are then disposed of in garbage dump sites squandering yet more of the world's resources. Metal roofing likewise indicates you will use less energy, conserving yet more resources and decreasing your summer energy costs. Quality metal roofing reflects roughly 70% of the sun's rays implying you will invest a lot less keeping your cooling system running.

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, so many people think about losing weight, earning more, or spending less… but what about using the new year to focus on those home projects you’ve been putting off? We understand that many home improvement projects can seem daunting at first. They may require you to learn new skills or get outside your comfort zone. They may also require you to fix problems you would rather keep ignoring. But think about this for a second: wouldn’t it be nice to take care of those issues once and for all? You might be dealing with any one of these common scenarios: Your house is overflowing with stuff you don’t use very often (especially after another Christmas). Your roof is still leaking no matter how many layers of shingles you put on there. You can’t seem to keep your home warm in the winter, no matter how high you crank up your heater (and your utility bills keep climbing). Your garage doesn’t have enough space for all of the projects you want to take on. Or maybe you really just need a new garage door after your teen backed into the one you have. Whether you’re considering taking on one of these home projects, or you have something else in mind, we’re here to help you follow through in getting the most out of your home in 2020.

Has this last round of storms left you with a damaged or leaky roof? Are you looking for a supplier who can help you put the pieces back together? If so, you’re in luck! Metal Roofing: Just one of the services we offer… To be clear, we’re not a roofing company in the traditional sense. We don’t have a crew on hand that we can send out to do roofing repairs or installation. (Although we’d be happy to provide you the names of some installers!) What we can offer you are top-of-the-line metal roofing products you can use to protect your home from future storms. Wondering about the benefits of installing a metal roof? Be sure to check out our earlier blog that takes an in-depth look at some of the key benefits metal roofs provide. If shielding your home from inclement weather, saving money on utility bills, and getting a great roof that’s made to last are on your to-do list, you’ve come to the right place! But first, let’s get real about metal roofing. You get a lot more for your money with a metal roof. If you’re looking for a cheap solution to your roofing problems, you’re probably better off slapping on another layer of shingles… However, if you’re looking for a quality solution that will last for decades, metal roofing is the perfect choice for you! When you invest in a metal roof, you get a lot more for your money. First, you’ll get peace of mind. Instead of cringing when you hear a storm rolling in, you’ll know your home is protected by a strong and sturdy roof that’s built to endure the worst weather. Second, you’re adding value to your home. Whether you’re planning to leave your home to your family, or you’re thinking of selling your home and heading south someday, investing in a metal roof will make your home an even more valuable asset in the future. “Is installing a metal roof simple?” If you’ve asked this question, you’re not alone. Let’s face it, there’s more to metal roofing than slapping some metal panels on over the top of your shingles and calling it “good.” It takes time and attention to detail to install a metal roof correctly. Is it rocket science? Absolutely not! But, like most things in life, doing it right will take some time and effort. Here are a few key things you need to consider: First, what kind of vapor barrier do you need to use? This is an important decision that deserves a blog all to itself. Lucky for you, you’ve got our experience on your side! Call us or come see us, and we can discuss the wide range of options you have available when it comes to vapor barriers, and we’ll help you figure out the best solution for your roofing project. Why does it matter? Because we want to make sure you get the roof of your dreams, of course! Making a wise choice here will set the tone for your entire metal roofing project. Next, what kind of fasteners should you use? This is another topic that deserves a more in-depth discussion than we can give it here. However, just like the choice of the right vapor barrier, finding the right fasteners is essential when it comes to installing a metal roof. What are the risks? You might ask… Using the wrong fasteners can lead to issues like: Leaks Corrosion Loose panels Or other serious issues But again, that’s why we’re here for you! You see, we’re not just here to sell you the materials. (Any old building supply store could do that…) We’re here to help you get your roof done right, in a way you can be proud of for years to come! Think of us as your friends in the metal business! And, just like with choosing the right vapor barrier, we can walk you through how to choose and correctly install fasteners that will work great and help protect the metal roof you’re investing in. What about ventilation? This is another factor that can get overlooked when it comes to installing a metal roof. The truth is, it’s just not something people think about if they don’t have experience in this area. However, just like with fasteners and vapor barriers, we’re more than happy to help you with this step as well. Not only will we talk you through your ventilation options, so you can make the best choices when it comes to installing your roof, we’ll also help you understand the risks involved when a roof isn’t properly ventilated. This way you’ll be able to bypass issues like condensation buildup, or other hazards like mold, mildew, or insect issues that come with leaks due to improper ventilation installation. Does that seem like a lot to take in? If so, don’t panic! Remember, we’re… More than a metal roofing company! As we mentioned before, our goal isn’t just to sell you the materials you need to install a great metal roof and then send you on your way to fend for yourself. From the time that you call for your FREE CONSULTATION, we’ll be there to answer any questions you have about installing your metal roof. After over 20 years of providing high-quality metal building products to our customers in the four-state area, we’ve seen about every snag that you can hit.
