Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is very durable and the average lifespan for standing seam metal roofing is more than 50 years

Why Metal Roofing Works Well In Central Texas

Commercial roofing systems in Central Texas face demanding conditions year-round, including intense heat, prolonged UV exposure, severe thunderstorms, high winds, hail, and rapid temperature changes. A properly designed and installed metal roofing system provides exceptional durability and long-term performance in this environment.

Metal roofing is well suited for commercial, industrial, multifamily, agricultural, and institutional properties because of its strength, longevity, relatively low maintenance requirements, and ability to withstand the demanding Texas climate.

Benefits of commercial metal roofing include:

  • Hail and impact resistance: Quality metal roofing systems can provide excellent resistance to damage from hail and severe weather. Specific impact ratings vary by product and system.
  • High-wind performance: Properly engineered and installed metal roofing systems can provide strong resistance to wind uplift during Central Texas thunderstorms and severe weather.
  • Heat and UV resistance: Metal roofing does not deteriorate from prolonged sun exposure in the same way many traditional roofing materials can. Reflective finishes and coatings may also help reduce rooftop heat absorption.
  • Long service life: With proper installation and maintenance, commercial metal roofing can provide decades of reliable service.
  • Low maintenance: Routine inspections and preventive maintenance can help identify loose fasteners, deteriorated sealants, flashing issues, corrosion, and other conditions before they develop into larger problems.
  • Restoration potential: Many existing commercial metal roofs can be repaired or restored with specialized coating systems, potentially extending the roof's service life without requiring a complete replacement.
  • Versatile commercial applications: Metal roofing can be an excellent option for warehouses, retail buildings, office facilities, apartment and multifamily properties, self-storage facilities, churches, schools, agricultural buildings, and other commercial properties.

LIGHT WEIGHT

Standing seam metal roofing is quite lightweight. Optimal strength to weight ratio and impressive flexibility. 

MOTHER NATURE

Ideal roofing material if you live in areas that are prone to natural disasters like hail, high winds, and fire.

LONG LASTING

Very durable and the average lifespan for standing seam metal roofing is more than 50 years, which is double that of the typical asphalt roofing material used in the San Antonio roofing industry.

ENVIROMENT FRIENDLY

 Interestingly, most metal roofing materials such as copper and aluminum consist of 95% biodegradable alloys, which make it a great option if you are concerned about the environmental impact of your roof.

LOW MAINTENANCE

Standing seam metal roofing is energy and maintenance labor efficient and has minimal upkeep requirements. 

Professional Installation

Installation of metal roofing is not foolproof. The incorrect use of incompatible components and their subsequent mixing can exacerbate erosion and corrosion thereby shortening the lifespan of your new metal roof. That is why installation by a professional metal roof installer, such as Rio Blanco Roofing & Restoration, is incredibly important.

Insurance Discounts

Metal roofs also possess excellent impact resistance properties. Texas was the first state to require insurance companies to offer discounts if a homeowner installs a qualifying hail-resistant roof. Effective May 1, 1998 the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) requires that insurance companies provide mandatory discounts for hail-resistant metal roofs. Contact your insurance company for the specifics of their available discounts.

Commerical Roofing Services 

Standing seam metal roofing has always been one of the best selections for green roofing due to the manufacturing processes, light weight, and longevity of the metal roofs. Due to the excellent reflectivity of the finishes, there can be utility company and/or local and federal government rebates available, depending on current programs being offered to property owners by federal and local governments.
