When we talk about metal roofs, we refer to roofing solutions, not necessarily to their structure. Metal roofs are extremely efficient and have a very good value for money. And the best part is that they are suitable for any type of roof.
The flat roof is a very common Fort Collins commercial roofing solution, both in warehouse and production buildings, as well as in commercial buildings (shopping malls, hypermarkets). In addition to waterproofing membranes, the most popular covering solutions are the slightly pitched additional structures, built above the actual flat roof and covered with sheet metal profiles. Such a structure is easy to install and maintain, providing additional protection and ensuring better water drainage.
Other significant advantages that make the use of metal in commercial roofing in Colorado very popular include:
Mechanical resistance
A metal roof responds very well to shocks, does not expand or contract due to temperature variations and it resists the action of various chemical agents.
Long service life
A metal roof has a long service life, even up to 50 years, during which time it offers very good protection and requires low maintenance.
Reflective material
A metal roof reflects the sun’s rays so that it does not absorb heat. Nothing is more unpleasant, on hot summer days, than a roof that overheats and transfers heat inside the building. However, this is not the case with a metal roof, which will provide better energy efficiency.
