Benefits of Steel
Considering steel roofing? Here are some of the many
reasons steel is the best choice for roofing.
Lightweight – At approximately 1 lb. per square foot,
steel roofing is lighter than both concrete roofing (10
lbs per square foot) and asphalt roofing (5 lbs. per
square foot). This places less stress on your building.
Weather Resistant – Steel roofing won't shrink, crack,
split, curl or rot. It has been tested to resist acid
rain, winds up to 110 mph, hail damage, high
temperatures, sun exposure and other weather conditions.
It will retain its color and shape better than other
roofing materials, won't rust, and you won't have to
replace missing shingles or patch leaks.
Fire Resistant – Steel roofing won't catch or transfer
fire and resists premature cave-in in cases of interior
fire.
Customizable – Steel roofing can mimic the look of wood,
copper, stone or clay roofing without facing decay
problems. It also comes in variety of style and color
choices perfectly suited to fit any design or
architecture.
High Quality – All Westman steel roofing is made from
galvanized steel or Galvalume™ aluminum-zinc substrate
and conforms to Canadian Sheet Steel Building Institute
(CSSBI) standards to ensure the best quality possible.
We also bake the paint on so it won't crack or chip off.
Reduced Heat and Sound – Steel roofing is designed to
transfer heat away from your interior, unlike asphalt
which retains heat. With proper insulation your building
will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, saving
you money on energy and heating costs. Don't worry about
the sound of rain; our steel is designed to minimize
sound transference, keeping your interior peaceful even
if the storm outside isn't.
Reduced Disposal Costs – Replacing your roof can be a
big hassle if your need to get rid of old tiles or
shingles. Westman steel roofing is designed for
installation over most pre-existing roofing, saving you
time and money.
Built to Last – All Westman roofing comes with a 25 year
limited transferable warranty, but with proper care
should last much longer. We manufacture steel roofing to
last as long as your house.
