When it Comes to Home Improvement, A Good Roof Is A Steel

Not much is more important than a good solid roof. A solid roof protects the contents and residents from vertical assault by the elements. Early buildings were roofed with skins and thatch, palm fronds and banana leaves and each technique had its plusses and minuses. Wooden roofs, mostly cedar and cedar shake were some of the earliest materials to be used in mass as reliable roofing materials but have always carried a fire hazard with them.

As time moved forward roofing materials were developed from asphalt and felt paper, impregnated with crushed stone material of different colors to provide the home owner with a choice, and choice is good. Roofing materials have ranged from hand cut slate, tile, and various metals including gold, copper, tin, zinc and this generation's answer to roof looks and longevity, steel.

The technology of steel manufacturing has given the roofing industry a permanent product. Baring fire from underneath, tornado, winds above 120mph, falling trees or land slides the steel roof will take more abuse than any other roofing material currently available! Ice and hail, heavy rain and snow load are kept at bay with a quality brand name steel roof installed by a professional roofing company.

The switch to a steel roof is very simple and has many benefits for the home owner. Fire reduction is the first thing to come to mind. Steel roofs protect building from embers generated from an inefficient fire place or ash and embers blown from a wildfire. Most insurance companies give discounts to policy owners that switch to steel and the obvious is simple, reduced risk, reduced premiums.

The simplicity factor must be addressed. Many buildings can have a new steel roof installed over an existing roof if the situation is correct. A single layer of roofing can often be covered with heavy felt and a steel roof applied with excellent result. Of coarse local and state codes need to be followed for your area to prevent legal or zoning problems, but your local roofing professional will have all the answers for the project. Time has allowed designers and engineers to perfect metal roofs to look like stone or wood; many take the shape of tile or slate or can be ordered to resemble an aged barn.

Regardless of the style, design, or shape a steel roof product will please most everyone.

Modern finish materials are baked onto the metal roofing materials under high temperatures and come in a multitude of colors and most carry a twenty year manufacturers warranty against color fade or peeling and that's better than any other appearance guarantee out there. Where heat from summer sun is a problem a white steel roof will reduce attic temperatures of a building as much as 50 degrees F. which equates in reduced energy costs, and any help is welcome these days. Couple a steel roof with ten to fourteen inches of blown in or newly applied foam and you can get a handle on costly heat and cooling bill's.

A steel roof doesn't decompose or brake down from solar radiation as do conventional roofing systems. This is a big plus for residents of Southern and Southwest areas of the country where terrific stress is placed on roofs from the incessant summer heat and blowing wind storms that often plague the American West. Because steel roofing systems are so cost effective the home owner is able to use a significant amount of savings for more up-grades and home improvements.

A cedar roof can cost in the neighborhood of $500.00 per- 100 square feet compared to $125.00 per-100 square feet for a steel roof that difference can provide much for the man cave or the nursery, and we know that is all up to the Mrs. But with savings that great everybody gets a little extra house. The garage, the gazebo, well house, boat house and any other structure that needs a roof will benefit from a steel roof.

Components are designed and manufactured to close tolerance and quality specifications to assure a solid and attractive finished product. The improvement that a steel roof makes to any building only begins with good looks. The strength of steel carries the snow load of the North and sheds the rain of the Southeast and is lighter than most other roofing choices making installation safer and faster. Roofing professionals all across the country are offering the new steel products for sensible prices and turn around times that will amaze the purchaser. Week long projects can become a few days of time when choosing a steel roof.
