Steel Roofing Types

Nowadays, contractors offer a variety of steel roofing types. Many of them are designed to imitate other popular roofing materials. As steel is extremely durable, these solutions often make a wonderful alternative to more expensive options. There are two major steel roofing types that you should consider:
  • Panel roofing. This system is best for industrial properties. Panels are made from large sheets of metal and come in a variety of profiles, including corrugated panels that can look rather fetching and make even a barn more aesthetically appealing. Panels are fixed with screws and make a great choice for a flat roof. Some of the options look so nice that they can be installed in homes.
  • Shingle-style roofing. This type of steel roofing system is very different from panels. Steel shingles are coated with various solutions to increase their resemblance to clay tiles, natural slate, and other popular roofing types. This option is more expensive than steel panels, but more affordable than the materials the shingles imitate.
Standing seam roofing. A standing seam steel roof is extremely durable and makes a great option for residential roofing. This solution is best for complex constructions, but you should be aware of the fact that the installation costs will go up depending on the system’s design.

Stainless Steel Roofing

Stainless steel is a premium-grade material when compared to regular steel, so the cost of this roofing system is sure to be higher. It’s biggest advantages are increased durability and weather resistance. This material is impervious to rust, so maintaining it will be easier.

If stainless steel is out of your price range at the moment, you can consider galvanized steel roofing. Zinc coating on the material protects it from rusting, and the cost of this solution is much lower. However, it offers high levels of weather resistance and durability.
