The Pros of Stone Coated Metal Roofing!

The term “metal roofing” is used, most commonly it’s referring to steel. However NOT ALL METAL ROOFS ARE EQUAL! Today we want to discuss the BEST METAL ROOF!  

Even though all metal roofs are metal, when someone says “stone coated metal roofing”, they’re talking about the best steel roofing you can choose.

Stone Coated Metal Roofing is 7 layers of distinct layers, starting with galvanized steel sheets and ending with stone granules and an acrylic overglaze. Metal roofing has been commonly used on commercial buildings for years but now has been gaining popularity for use on residential homes as well for its affordability, longevity, and most importantly the amazing low maintenance Stone Coated Metal Roofing offers. However, Stone Coated Metal Roofing comes in a variety of panel types and colors too.

Advantages of a Stone Coated Metal Roofing System

• Low Maintenance
• Resistance To Fires And Rotting
• Longevity And Cost Effectiveness
• Durability

Stone Coated Metal Roofing Is Low Maintenance

Once installed, the maintenance on a metal roof is minimal, especially when compared to other types of roofing. Stone Coated Metal Roofing performs best when you remove any leaves, branches, and debris off the roof as needed. You should also keep debris from accumulating in gutters and on the roof itself.

Inspecting the metal roof yearly or after major weather events is all that you need to do. Compared to other types of roofing, this is considered minimal to low maintenance.

Stone Coated Metal Roofing Is Resistant To Fires (And Rot)

Stone Coated Metal roofing will not rot or have mildew problems, nor is it susceptible to  rodent infestation or termites.

One of the biggest advantages of stone coated metal roofing is that it’s one of the few fire-resistant roofing materials. When installed by a professional certified metal roofer, a stone coated metal roof has the best fire rating available, Class A, making it ideal for areas prone to wildfires or any fire issue.

Cost Effectiveness And Longevity

Stone Coated Metal Roofing is the least expensive of the five types of roofing materials and roofing systems on today's market. A stone coated metal roof will cost 35% less than aluminum and ⅓ the price of copper or zinc.

A stone coated metal roof can last 40-60 years or more and is it the most affordable roofing material bringing the most long-term value when comparing one roof with another that are not metal.

For example, an asphalt shingle roof will last roughly 10-20 years before needing to be replaced. While a fiberglass shingle roof costs half the price of a metal roof in some instances, a stone coated metal roof will last over 3-6 times as long.

Therefore, installing a stone coated metal roof is the most cost effective decision you can choose for the long term when replacing your roof AND especially if you plan on living at your house for at least 10 years. WHY? Because that is around the average amount of time before you will have to buy a second ASPHALT shingle roof.

Durability

A stone coated metal roof has strength that makes it resistant to cracking, chipping, or warping. A stone coated metal roof can survive hail and high force winds up to 140 mph and  beyond while withstanding the impact from falling objects, too.
