The advantages of high-quality steel roofing

Because your roof is quite literally a form of protection against the weather in , it's an aspect of your home that should be made out of high-quality materials. Roofs are subject to harsh UV rays, wind, thunder, lightning, and rain, so ensuring you purchase a high-quality steel roof will mean that you won’t struggle with leaks and pooling in your roof cavity or ceilings. Steel roofs are generally known to be durable and weatherproof, but high-quality options mean there is even less of a chance needed to replace your roof every few years, making life easier on you and your wallet.

How to choose steel roofing that's right for you

When considering what you want in your steel roof, you can choose from a wealth of different colours and designs to optimise the overall aesthetic of your external home.

There is an exciting array of different styles of steel roofing to choose from, including tile, shingle, and standing seam with both practical and aesthetic benefits to consider. Steel roofing is also likely to retain its colour and won’t patina.

How long does a steel roof last?

One of the great benefits of steel roofs is that they are renowned for being long-lasting. If well-maintained, in Canada, a good quality steel roof can last anywhere between approximately 40-80 years. This will also depend on the quality of the manufacturer. Low quality options will wear and tear faster.

Are steel roofs noisy?

Some people love the sound of rain on the roof, while others do not. Steel roofs are not always noisy, but they do sometimes amplify the sound of heavy rain, hail, and other weather events, compared to other metals though there are modern techniques to minimise this.

Do steel roofs rust?

Steel is known to rust, so there is potential for your steel roofing to corrode. In this modern age, there are many products on the market that have been developed to try to alleviate this risk like coating products and paints. High quality steel roofs will usually also have a thin coating of zinc, primer, and topcoat that adds extra protection.
