Bloyer & Sons Roofing specializes in commercial metal roofing. Cost effective, durable and energy-efficient, metal roofing is an excellent choice for commercial businesses. If maintained properly, a metal roof can last up to 40 years. There are several benefits of metal roofing to consider and a variety of types of metal roofing systems.
Most metal roofs have a lifespan of 40 years when properly maintained. Metal roofing systems are not prone to the same issues as more traditional roofing including warping, cracking, rot, and even rust.
In the Midwest, weather resistant roofs save thousands of dollars in insurance claims, repairs, and replacements. Metal roofs are resistant to hail, which is one of the top causes of roof damage in Kansas and Oklahoma. In addition, most metal roofs offer wind resistance of up to 120 miles per hour.
Cool-metal roofing has a highly reflective surface that utilizes cool colors in paint to increase sun reflection and lower the temperature of the roof. In Kansas and Oklahoma where summer temperatures can soar to over 100 degrees, this type of roofing system offers significant energy savings. Berridge metal roofing products offer solar reflectance which helps reduce heat islands and is better for the environment.
Metal roofing systems are more fire resistant than other types of materials. Metal roofing is classified as a Class A fire rating by the National Fire Protection Association which is the highest rating available.
Metal roofs are smooth and durable, which makes it less likely they will need repair. With traditional roofing systems, maintenance may include replacing membranes, or cleaning off moss or fungus. Metal roofing is resistant to these issues and easier to maintain overall.
