Rust Proof Metal Roofing

Metal Roofing: Material Options
Metal roofs are made of a variety of recyclable metals. They all have different pros and cons. When installing a metal roof, you can choose from zinc, copper, aluminum, tin, or steel.
Metal Roofing Profiles
- Zinc – zinc is a great material for commercial roofing in Toronto because it is attractive, highly durable, and is easy to mould and shape.
- Copper – is a more attractive roofing metal that adds a unique look to your home due to its natural hue. While this softer metal is more visually appealing, it is also more susceptible to denting caused by severe weather. Copper is one of the most expensive metal roofing materials but the price is easily outweighed by its lifespan. Most copper tiles can last over 200 years.
- Aluminum – Aluminum is another soft, aesthetically pleasing roofing metal. Because it is highly resistant to corrosion, aluminum metal roofs are highly popular in coastal regions because it can withstand the atmospheric conditions in those areas better than the other metal roofing materials.
- Tin – tin roofs are one the cheaper metals but they cost more to maintain. The tiles have a protective coating on them to protect the metal roof from corrosion and rust. Tin roofs require regular maintenance to prevent erosion that is caused by weather. Tin metal for roofs is becoming less common due to its higher corrosion rate and shorter lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
- Steel – steel is another popular choice for commercial roofing in Toronto however, it can also be used on residential properties too. Steel roofs are made of 100% recycled materials. The sheets have a zinc, aluminum, or zinc-aluminium combined coating to protect the metal from corrosion.
