Strength and Durability
There are many types of roofs on the market but we believe a steel roof is by far the best roof when dealing with pitched roofs. The 2 best steel roof systems are stone coated steel and standing seam.
Stone-Coated
Stone coated steel is by far one of the most beautiful and most durable materials on the roofing market. The 26 gauge steel material has a Class A fire rating, Class 4 impact resistant, 120 mph wind warranty and most importantly for the North Texas area, it has a hail stone penetration warranty second to none. Most manufacturers offer a 50-year warranty on the finish. For more info about stone coated steel, click here.
Standing Seam
These steel roofs come in 24 and 26 gauge steel and can be mechanically fastened or in a snap lock design with many colors available. Standing seam roofs are one of the most architecturally pleasing roofs due to the roofs inherent symmetry and clean lines.. Standing seam roofs withstand heavy wind, large hail, fire and UV damage. These roofs have a Class A fire rating and are Class 4 impact resistant. Most standing seam roofs will come with a 50 year warranty and are low maintenance. Arguably the most attractive characteristic of standing seam steel roofing is the energy efficiency of the material. It naturally reflects the sun’s UV rays, keep your roof and attic cool, all the while lowering your energy bills.
