In this comprehensive guide, the professionals at Mansea Metal dive into the world of metal roofing, exploring its benefits, types, installation processes, maintenance, and more. By the time you’ve reached the end of this blog, you’ll be well-equipped with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision about choosing metal roofing for your next project—providing protection and aesthetic appeal that stands the test of time.

What Is Metal Roofing?

In today’s ever-evolving climate, roofing materials are advancing. Metal roofing, in fact, is becoming a popular choice among homeowners and businesses due to its long-lasting protective properties. Metal roofing is a roofing system that employs various types of metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, or a combination of these, to create a protective covering for properties. Unlike traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles or wood, metal roofing is known for its exceptional durability and longevity.

The Benefits of a Metal Roof

Longevity

On average, metal roofs will last two to three times longer than traditional shingle roofs, ensuring it’s enjoyed by multiple generations. These roofing panels are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, hail, and high winds, all while providing excellent resistance to corrosion and abrasions from debris. At Mansea Metal, our products can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years, depending on the composition of the metal chosen. 

Fire Safety

Metal roofs will not make your house fireproof, but they can certainly halt the spread of fire. Metal roofing materials have a Class A fire rating, which signifies the highest level of fire resistance due to their non-combustible nature. This offers peace of mind to homeowners and business owners, knowing that their residential or commercial metal roof is virtually impenetrable to the threat of combustion.

Unlike other roofing materials that may pose fire hazards, metal roofing ensures that the risk of it going up in random flames is virtually nonexistent, making it a secure and reliable choice for those seeking superior protection for themselves and their belongings.

Cost Effective

While the initial investment may be slightly higher compared to traditional roofing materials, the long-term savings and benefits of metal roofing far outweigh the upfront costs. Its exceptional durability ensures that a metal roof can last for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs, which can be a substantial expense with other roofing options.

Additionally, metal roofs have the potential for lower insurance premiums due to their fire resistance and ability to withstand harsh weather.

Eco-Friendly

Metal roofing’s sustainability stems from various factors, starting with the recyclability of the materials used. Many metal roofs are made from recycled metal, and once their long life comes to an end, they can be recycled again, reducing the burden on landfills.

Moreover, metal roofs are energy-efficient, reflecting sunlight and reducing the need for air conditioning during hot weather, which, in turn, cuts down on energy consumption and carbon emissions.

The Mansea Metal Difference

We Are The Manufacturer

Most of the companies who advertise metal roofing and siding or post-frame buildings are simply reselling products produced by someone else. We produce our own products from rolled steel and have large indoor yards that keep our lumber protected. That way, we control the quality and time of delivery to you. And that creates jobs right here in your home town.

Higher Quality Steel with Superior Finishes

The truth is not all steel is alike, especially when it comes to finishes. That’s why we use Sherwin-Williams WeatherXL™ Coil Coatings. Created to withstand most anything that comes its way, designed to maintain extreme resistance to abrasion, chipping and marring with tremendous color and gloss retention. And you get to select your favorites from more than 22 striking color options

You Won’t Be Shorted On Lumber

When we price a building package, we give you everything you need to ensure structural integrity. Like longer gable posts that extend to the top of the truss, not just tying in at the bottom. And long-lasting pressure-treated wood measuring .60 CCA. You won’t get this quality at a ‘big box’ store. Plus, we use 6x6’s along with 2x10’s and 2x12’s that are #1 grade.
