STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF

standing seam metal roof is a type of metal roofing panel that locks together with other metal panels using a concealed fastener. The appearance of a standing seam roof is a wide flat area of panel situated between vertical legs, also known as raised seams. The fasteners are looped together and concealed underneath the raised seam, which gives the roof a clean, modern appearance. The roof panels can be clipped to the roof decking or attached directly to the standing seam fastener. These metal roofing panels can be customized by the spacing between the vertical legs and with the colour. Standing seam metal roofs are interlocked in three main ways: snap lock, mechanically seamed and nail strips.

METAL TILE ROOF

metal tiled roof has the appearance of tile but the cost and weight of metal. This type of roofing, like metal shingle roofing, was created as an alternative to the heavier material it is modelled after. Metal tile roofing is available in a wide variety of colours and textures. The most popular metal roof tile options are monterrey and adamante. Get in touch with our tile roofers to learn more!

CORRUGATED METAL ROOF

Corrugated metal roofing is made from metal sheets that have been rolled and formed into metal panels. The panels are fixed in place with exposed fasteners (meaning the screws are exposed). The traditional shape of a corrugated metal roofing sheets are round and wavy. By corrugating the sheets of metal, instead of leaving them straight, it increases the tensile strength making corrugated metal resistant to breaking under tension. Corrugated steel roofing is available in many colours and even designs. The two most common types of corrugated metal roofing are ⅞” Corrugated and ½” Corrugated. Exposed fasteners often times have problems with weathertightness in metal roofs.

METAL SHINGLE ROOF

Metal shingle roofs are intended to be an alternative to traditional asphalt, cedar, or slate shingles, but with the toughness and durability of high-strength steel roofing panels. Under normal conditions and with minimal maintenance, metal roof shingles will not rot, curl, crack, break, chip, peel, or perforate. Metal shingle roofing is also lightweight and has numerous colours and textures to choose from. Metal shingles use a four way interlocking metal roofing system, so you will never have to re-roof again.

FLAT ROOFING

flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof commonly used in commercial or residential properties. Low slope roofs are more prone to water damage because there isn't much slope for rainwater to runoff. If water remains on the roof surface for an extended period of time, it can penetrate the roof, resulting in leaks and costly repairs. Since metal panels are be weathertight and have concealed fasteners, it makes them the ideal roofing material for low-pitched roofs. The Peterborough area is the country's fastest-growing community and lots of modern homes are being built. Our roofing contractors specialize in flat roof installations and can make your modern home in Peterborough stand out.

METAL COLOURS: THE PERFECT MATCH

After you’ve decided on a metal roof for your home, the next step is determining the details. The two main decisions you need to make is the colour and style of metal panel you want. Whichever style and metal roofing colour you choose, it’s crucial to match them to the existing architecture of your home. You want the colour to complement your surroundings, environment, and property. In Peterborough, the summers are comfortable; the winters are freezing, snowy, and windy; and it is partly cloudy year round. Because of this, we recommend going with a dark coloured roof to help your home retain heat in the winter.

Why You Need A Metal Roof In PeterboroughMetal roofs are an excellent choice in the winter. The cold season lasts for 3.4 months, from December 2 to March 14, with an average daily high temperature below 36°F. The coldest month of the year in Peterborough is January, with an average low of 11°F and high of 26°F. Since Peterborough Ontario experiences colder winters, a metal roof is the best choice for homeowners. Steel roofing is more watertight than traditional shingles and since it is lighter, ice and snow can slide right off, which prevents the formation of icicles on the surface.

Peterborough Ontario also faces some severe windstorms. During the deadly derecho windstorm that came out of nowhere on Saturday, May 21, many roofs were damaged. However, almost all of these roofs were asphalt. Asphalt shingles can’t withstand severe winds. After a storm, you will often find shingles torn off your roof which will result in costly repairs. A metal roof, on the other hand, can withstand heavy winds and won’t need repairs at all.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT METAL ROOFING PRICES

When it comes to metal roof costs in Ontario, there are many factors that affect the sheet metal roofing prices. Roofs are classified as "easy" or "difficult" by roofing contractors based on their physical location and structure. Is there any special equipment required for installation? Is it a walkable distance? Is there anything else that will make the installation take longer?

01 Panel Design

Metal roofing cost is determined by two major design choices: interlocking panels (concealed fastener) and overlapping panels (exposed fastener). Interlocking panels are more expensive because they have more structural detail, go through a lengthy forming process, and take up more space. They also have higher quality because they are interlocked on four sides, which adds to the cost.

02 Metal Type Chosen

The roof's material plays a significant part in your new metal roof cost Ontario. In general, the price of roofing materials is heavily influenced by raw material supply and demand, as well as processing costs.

04 Home Shape

The architectural shape of your home can increase your steel roof cost Ontario. When there are numerous angles, dormers, and skylights to cut around, the job becomes more difficult and expensive.

04 Home Size & Roof Slope

It goes without saying that the larger the roof, the more expensive the materials. Metal roof prices are usually higher with a steeper slope roof, simply because the contractor requires a larger crew and more equipment to ensure the job is done safely. It also takes longer, which adds hours to the total cost.

05 Finish / Paint / Coatings

The finish / coating your metal roof has will play a part in the cost of the overall project. Polyester-based paint is the most cost-effective type of coating. It is inexpensive due to its short lifespan. PVDF, or Polyvinylidene Flouride, is considered the best roof coating due to its durability, chalk and fade resistance, and adhesion.

FAQS

Got a question? We're here to help!

What is the cheapest metal roofing?Corrugated steel panel roofs
The least expensive type of metal roofing is corrugated steel panel, which ranges in price from $3.50 to $6.50 per square foot, roughly the same as asphalt shingle roofing. The typical price range for installing a corrugated steel roof is between $10,500 and $19,500.

Is it worth putting on a metal roof?A metal roof is definitely worth the investment. Asphalt shingles last between 10-12 years whereas a steel roof will last 50-100 years. Not only do they last a long time but metal roofing is durable, eco-friendly and fire, hail and wind resistant. Even though steel roofing is expensive, it is well worth the investment.

Can steel roofing be installed over asphalt shingles?In almost every case, the answer is yes; a new steel roof can be installed over an existing shingle roof. One of the many reasons steel roofs are becoming more popular is that their installation does not necessitate completely tearing off the existing roof, which is a time-consuming and costly job. The shingles can even act as an underlayment for your new roof. However, the shingles expanding and contracting can cause damage underneath the metal roof over time.

Can metal roofing be used as siding?Standing seam metal panels are a popular metal roofing choice and they can also be used for siding. However, not all steel roof panels can be used as siding on a building. When it comes to metal siding, there are special metal sheets that are made specifically for the side of a building.

How do you know when to replace a metal roof?Four signs you should replace your metal roof
1. The painted finish on your metal roof panels has reached the 30-year mark (standing seam only)
2. Something damaged the painted finish on the metal roof panels (standing seam only)
3. The fasteners are starting to wallow out (screw down only)
4. Storm damage to the metal panels (both)

Which colour metal roof fades the least?Lighter colours, such as tans, whites, and greys, fade much faster than darker, more saturated colours. To counteract fading, you can also invest in a protective coating that shields the roof from mildew, moisture, and sunlight.

Will metal roofing rust?With advances in paint systems, finishes, and other technologies, metal roofs will withstand oxidation and rusting for most of its lifetime. However, there can be factors that affect whether or not your roof rusts. If you have plain, bare steel for example, it will rust.

Are metal roofs worth the price in Peterborough?Even though metal roofs in Peterborough, Ontario are expensive, their durability and longevity make it a great investment. Metal roofing is strong, waterproof, wind-resistant, fire-proof, resistant to dents and protective against other elements. Plus they are 100% recyclable and eco-friendly. A metal roofing system that is installed properly will last over 50 years, whereas an asphalt shingle roof only lasts 10-20.

Is it loud when it rains on a metal roof?One of the most frequent questions we get asked from homeowners considering metal roofing is this one. Let's get right to the point: Metal roofs don't make a lot of noise when it rains. The key to noise reduction is preventing noises from striking hard, flat surfaces. However, modern metal roofing materials go beyond a simple flat sheet of bare metal. A roof's ability to block and reduce the reverberation of sound waves increases with the thickness of its covering and the surface texture.

Which is better, asphalt or metal?Metal roofing often lasts 2-4 times longer than shingles. Homeowners prefer the thought of only having to purchase one additional roof in their lifetime rather than potentially many. In circumstances of hail and other extreme weather conditions, metal roofing performs better than shingles. Metal is also recyclable whereas asphalt goes straight to the landfill.

Can steel roofing be painted?Yes, a steel roof can be painted. And the good news is that painting them can be an added bonus by increasing their lifespan even further. Whether it's an old roof or a new one, paint for a steel roof can increase its life and also reduce the average cost of energy.

What metal roof is best?Stainless steel is used in some of the most powerful and sturdy metal products in the world. Because stainless steel can withstand corrosion and degradation for 60+ years, it makes a great choice for metal roofing.

Do metal roofs have problems?Life happens around your metal panels. Scratches, nicks, and scuffs can occur from falling objects, severe weather storms, or even during installation. Most paint systems and finishes are extremely tough and will resist this aesthetic issue. Although, sometimes life just happens and these issues can't be prevented.

Where do metal roofs leak?What are the common areas for metal roofs to leak at? One of the most common places for leaks to develop on metal roofs is the area around a roof curb. Even if flashing is properly constructed all the way around the curb, water can eventually seep through, especially on the side facing uphill.

Do steel roofs need vents?Without proper roof ventilation, you're allowing your attic to remain at a high temperature. This can lead to unnecessary and premature damage to your roof. Roof vents improve air flow, which reduces moisture buildup in attics. Learn more about metal roof ventilation here.
