Title: Types of Metal Roofing Materials
1Types of Metal Roofing Materials
- Let's explore the different types of metal
roofing materials, as well as their pros and cons.
2Copper Roofing
Considered to be the grandfather of metal
roofing, copper roofs have been used for
centuries around the world. Copper is an
extremely long-lasting metal that in ideal
environments, can last well over 200 years.
Copper roofs are 100 recyclable too, making them
wonderful green roof options.
3Aluminum Roofing
If copper is the Range Rover of roofing, then
Aluminum Roofing Materials are easily considered
to be the Dune Buggy of roofing. Stay with us
here. Take a Volkswagen Beetle, pull off the
doors, the roof, and all unneeded features. Seal
off the essentials to prevent salt spray, add a
roll cage, and upgrade the suspension. Throw
some nice sand tires on the thing and take it for
a cruise along the beach you now have the
vehicle that best describes the strength and
corrosive durability of an Aluminum roof.
4Zinc Roofing
Who remembers the original Humvee? An extremely
durable and dependable machine that could take
you anywhere you needed to go, yet at a pretty
price. This is Zinc in a nutshell.
Zinc is an amazing metal, able to use its patina
to heal scratches over time, plus stay strong for
over 100 years. The natural properties of Zinc
make it a favorite for commercial projects due to
its ability to be easily formed and manipulated
into amazing shapes. While the chalking of Zinc
over time is not considered an appealing aspect
of the metal, it can be cleaned and controlled to
an extent.
5Steel Roofing
Steel is an alloy, made from iron and other
elements. Used in every aspect of building, steel
roofing has often been one of the most common
materials found on a commercial construction
site, and is now often incorporated into
residential builds. While the initial creation of
steel can be an energy-intensive process compared
to a metal like Zinc, the recyclability and
availability of the metal alloy means that most
of the steel we use today is made from recycled
material rather than new. In fact, steel is the
most recycled material on the planet, making it
an incredibly green building material to work
with.
