Metal roofs were once primarily used only for commercial projects, but today it’s one of the fastest-growing materials used for both residential and commercial roofing in India. When choosing a roof, you’ll want to take into account more than just the price. After all, you’ll want to make sure the roof you install will do a good job protecting your industry against the elements and will last for years to come. There are many factors to weigh when choosing the right roof and wall panels for your industry. A key benefit of metal roofing and wall panels is that they positively impact the building’s performance by being a durable and sustainable solution.
High Durability
In some of the most challenging commercial applications where sustained exposure to dirt, wind and industrial pollution are nearly unavoidable, properly installed alloy-coated steel roofs have proved their weather ability to last several more decades before any significant maintenance is required.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Modern high-speed roll forming processes shape steel into versatile, eye-catching designs, with a variety of profiles in appealing colours. They keep their good looks for decades, not just a few years.
Low Life Cycle Cost
Durability and continued aesthetic appeal help lower the overall life cycle costs of the roof.
Wind and Fire Resistant
Steel is corrosion- and fire-resistant. Most metal roofing is considered to be Assembly-Rated Class A, meaning the covering and underlying materials provide additional fire protection. This makes metal roofs one of the most fire-resistant options on the market for roofing materials.
Light Weight
The light weight metal makes the installation process easy and helps you save on engineering and building the supporting structure.
Low Maintenance Cost
A significant advantage of metal roofing over traditional roofing materials is longevity. Along with being resistant to both rot and extreme weather conditions, metal roofing is easy to keep looking new. With no annual maintenance necessary due to the long-lasting nature of steel, you will save time on upkeep over the years as it won’t need to be replaced as frequently compared to traditional building materials.
Speedy and Easy Installation
Speed and easy installation are benefits of metal roofing that we can’t afford to ignore. Its length, width, size proportion, and the fact its lightweight make it easy to handle. Most metal roofing materials come in multiple singles sections or in 12 to 36-inch wide panels that can be easily handled and installed.
Environment Friendly
Metal roofs not only have 25-95% recycled content, depending on the material used, but are also 100% recyclable at the end of their life as a roof. In contrast, most shingle tear-off waste ends up as part of the building-related waste stream — up to 20 billion pounds per year.
Energy Efficient
Metal roofs reflect the suns UV and infrared light rays that contribute to roof surface radiant heat, which can result in a 10-25% reduction in cooling costs.
High Return on Investment
Their long lifespan and superior durability reduce your roofing costs over many years, and energy savings reduce your monthly bills throughout the time resulting in high return on investment.
