Types Of Commercial Metal Roofing And Wall Panels
Metal has traditionally favored roofing and siding material for architects and commercial property owners due to its attractive appearance and unmatched durability. Metal panels are an excellent option for any business project due to their cost, performance, and flexibility.
Why Choose Metal?
Metal roofing is a more appealing option than other frequently utilized materials. While choices may have cheaper initial costs, they often have a significantly shorter life lifespan and require regular maintenance. Asphalt shingles, for example, are prone to shrinking, eroding, and cracking, particularly in areas of the nation where they are subjected to severe weather conditions.
Metal roofing can resist wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour, will not rust or break due to seasonal weather, and may last 60 years or more with little maintenance or repairs. A metal roof is also fire resistant and energy efficient, lowering cooling expenses by 10 to 25 percent.
Standing Seam And Concealed Fastener Wall Systems
Standing seam roof systems are composed of several panels joined together by elevated seams (or vertical legs) above the flat surface. Instead of resting flat against the roof deck, the seams rise 1 to 3 inches above the surface, allowing the panels to snap together or mechanically interlock without any exposed or visible fasteners. In addition to giving a sleek, contemporary appearance, standing seam systems enable panels to expand and contract with changing temperatures, allowing them to endure longer and inflict less wear and strain on the roof deck.
Concealed fastener wall panels are fitted using clips and fasteners that are hidden under the wall panels.
Recover And Retrofit Systems
A full tear-off and replacement may not be an affordable or feasible long-term option for commercial property owners with old or failing roofs. This is particularly true for traditional membrane roofs with a 1/4:12 slope or higher that need continuous care owing to moisture damage and UV deterioration. Owners of pre-engineered structures 30-40 years old benefit tremendously from a new roof that fits directly over existing metal panels. Fortunately, recover and retrofit solutions such as metal-over-metal or metal-over-shingles may offer the advantages of a standing seam metal roof in Newmarket without replacing the whole roof. Our solutions may be customized to work with the existing roof’s structural support system to offer long-term life expectancy and lower life-cycle expenses while improving the property’s curb appeal.
Curved Roofing Systems
Curved radius roofing systems are an appealing option for many commercial projects, whether utilized as a design accent or for the whole roof. Curved roofing is a standing seam system often constructed on the worksite and is an excellent option for curved roofs, arched canopies, and pathway covers. Because the panels are curved on the worksite, they have a lower landing transportation cost and a higher chance of being a perfect match.
Exposed Fastener Panel Options
For commercial projects, exposed fastener metal roof and wall panels are the most cost-effective choice. These systems are made up of overlapping panels attached to the roof deck or wall frame directly through the face of the metal. They are referred to as “exposed” because the fastening head remains visible after installation. Because exposed fastener panels are usually broader than standing seam panels, fewer panels (and therefore less work) are required to cover the roof or standing wall surface.
Soffit, Fascia, And Canopy System Options
Before installing metal roof and wall panels, it is suggested that the same material be used for a commercial project’s soffit, fascia, and canopy requirements. These pre-formed panels are available in a range of pan conditions and are intended for vertical and horizontal installations. Whether used for roof eaves, porch ceilings, or canopy installations, metal paneling may provide an attractive finishing touch to any business project.
Metal Shingles And Simulated Tile
Combining the visual appearance and curb appeal of conventional shingles, slate, cedar, or ceramic tiles with all of the performance advantages of metal, these panelized systems are becoming a popular choice for commercial properties seeking a quick, simple, and cheap roofing solution. Metal shingles in Newmarket come in several designs and colors, are so similar to the real thing that most people won’t tell the difference. Even better, they’re more durable and energy-efficient than asphalt shingles.
Insulated Metal Panels
Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs), the cutting-edge metal construction materials, are composite panels of a metal skin exterior and a polyisocyanurate insulating foam core. They provide exceptional weather-tightness and up to a three-hour fire rating, making them an excellent choice for buildings with stringent climate-control requirements. Our state-of-the-art Green Span Profile panels, formed by a continuously poured-in-place manufacturing method, are available in 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6-inch thicknesses and may be placed both vertically and horizontally to create the ideal architectural appearance.
