Unlike shingled roofs, metal Roofs prevent snow & ice accumulation.

1. Extremely durable and long-lasting
   Metal is proven to last two to three times longer than asphalt shingles and is able to withstand all the elements. When metal roofs are properly installed, they seal out water, withstand high winds, and prevent snow and ice accumulation (ice damming).
2. Wind Resistant
   Metal panels are held together with interlocking mechanisms in all 4 corners, making them tightly attached to the roofing system.  When installed by a professional metal roofing expert, metal roofs can withstand wind speeds of up to 200 kilometre per hour.
3. Fire Resistant
   Since metal is a non-combustible material, it is essentially fire resistant. And among all the different types of metal roofing materials, steel panels are by far the most fire-safe, garnering a Class A rating.
4. Mold resistant
   Metal roofs are mold resistant because it is impervious to rot and mildew.
5. Resistant to animal damage
   Raccoons, squirrels or any neighborhood creatures will have a significantly tougher time trying to rip apart metal roofs because of the fully interlocking panels.  In addition, unlike asphalt shingles, metal is difficult to gnaw or chew through, hence deterring them to wreak havoc to your roof.
6. Low Maintenance
   

   Metal Roofs stand out from the crowd with its slick designs.

   Metal roofing requires little to no maintenance. Other than ensuring that leaves, branches and debris are prevented from accumulating in the gutters, you don't need to worry about anything else.

7. Energy-efficient
   As metal is reflective, electrical costs are reduced up to 25% in the summer.
8. Good for the environment
   Asphalt shingles (produced using fossil fuels) require more frequent replacement, resulting in almost 20 billion pounds in the landfill per year. On the other hand, metal is recyclable, is installed over top of shingles (preventing waste), and can last up to 100 years before replacing.
9. Different profile options
   Metal roofs come in various profiles and color so you can choose the perfect style you want
10. Aesthetically-pleasing
    Metal roofs are customizable to the profile and color you choose, making it aesthetically pleasing but reaping in the benefits that metal provides.
