All Atlas Roofing of South Florida is pleased to announce our new Mobile Metal Roof Fabrication Division.
According to the National Roofing Contractors Association, the popularity of metal roofing products has increased dramatically over the past decade, a clear sign that homeowners and business owners are growing more and more aware of this product's benefits
They are high-tech answers to the need for durable, fire-resistant, lightweight roofing that looks at home on a house or business.
Metal roofs are favored for their speed and ease of installation, fire-resistant qualities, and expected longevity. They are also surprisingly lightweight and are great at reflecting heat from the sun.
Expected life. Properly installed, a metal roof should last as long as the house, completely sealing out water, surviving high winds, and easily shedding snow. Metal is resistant to fire, mildew, insects, and rot.
Speed and ease of roofing installation. Most metal roofing materials come in multi-shingle sections or in sheets. Our certified roofing team can install these quickly and safely. If your roof is stripped off and a storm is on the way, shortening the process by a day or two may prove to be a critical advantage.
Fire resistance. Because metal roofs are noncombustible, they're given a Class A fire rating (the most resistant). Part of a roof's classification depends on materials beneath the surface that could ignite in intense heat, so some metal roofs applied over an old combustible roof, such as wood shingles, may be rated lower.
Heat conduction. Metal reflects radiant heat from the sun, minimizing midday heat gain. Though the material itself is low in insulation R-value, many systems utilize a dead-air space between the metal and roof deck to increase energy efficiency.
Minimal roof pitch. Most metal roofing materials can be installed on gently pitched roofs without danger of leaking. Typical minimum roof pitch is 3-in-12 (the roof rises 3 inches for each horizontal foot).
