2 Residential Steel Roofing Systems More than just a roof over your head Your home is more than just a roof over your head. It s the birthplace of many fond memories, a haven of peace and soothing familiarity, and a reflection of your true self. Something so important in your life deserves the best protection,and such protection begins with the roof over your head! If you re contemplating re-roofing, renovating or building new, then steel is the durable choice. Home building, renovation and repairs can be daunting undertakings. But when looking for roofing materials, remember that a properly installed steel roof requires little maintenance and will last significantly longer than, for example, asphalt shingles. Plus, the environmental benefits are obvious: steel is 100% recyclable, meaning nothing ends up in a landfill. A steel roof can also help save energy by keeping your home or cottage cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

All of our steel roofing systems feature coordinating trims, fasteners, closures, caulking and flashings everything you and your contractor need for a proper installation without all the guesswork! FAQ: Why steel roofing? Life Expectancy: Steel roofs last longer than non-metallic roofs, with a lifespan of up to 50 years or even more! Fire and Weather Resistant: Because steel is a non-combustible material, it cannot catch on fire. Steel roofing holds up better than any other roofing material under conditions of heavy rain, hail, extreme temperatures, high winds, and even earthquakes. Style Variety: Steel roofing is available in a wide range of styles. It can mimic other types of materials such as wood shingle, clay tile and asphalt shingle but with all the durable qualities that steel offers. With new technologies in painted surfaces, metal roofing also offers a wide array of colors to choose from. Cost Effective: Steel roofing can be quite cost effective compared to expensive clay tiles, slate, or wood shake shingles. A reduction in heating and cooling costs is another benefit especially cooling costs since many of Vicwest's steel roofing profiles use solar reflective pigments within their coating. Lightweight: Steel roofs ease the stress on a home s structure since it is much lighter than materials such as tile. Heavier roof materials may require a home to undergo structural repairs which can result in thousands of additional costs. Low to No Maintenance: Coupled with its weather-resistant qualities, steel roofs resist the growth of mold and mildew making them virtually maintenance-free. 3 Vicwest steel roofing products are available in a wide range of colors.
