\"industrialIf you live\u00a0in an area where strong winds are part of the regular weather\u00a0routine, you\u00a0might be wondering if a metal roof is a better choice than\u00a0other roofing\u00a0styles<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0The answer, in most cases, is\u00a0yes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most metal\u00a0roofs \u2013 whether for a home, an agricultural building, a\u00a0storage facility or\u00a0other structure \u2013 are fashioned from long metal sheets\u00a0that cover the entire\u00a0area between the ridgeline and the eaves.\u00a0\u00a0Conversely, tile and shingle roofing is made up of many smaller pieces,\u00a0giving wind lots of places to penetrate and tear up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some metal\u00a0roofing styles are made with smaller pieces to present a\u00a0\u201ctraditional\u201d roofing\u00a0look.\u00a0\u00a0But if you want a roof that is\u00a0hands-down\u00a0superior in withstanding high, forceful winds, a metal panel system\u00a0is\u00a0your first choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

What determines wind resistance in\u00a0metal roofing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

For metal\u00a0buildings, where the roof is part of the original construction,\u00a0you want to\u00a0make sure the structure was built to withstand common\u00a0weather patterns in the\u00a0geographic area where it is located.\u00a0\u00a0This\u00a0will\u00a0affect how well the roofing holds up.\u00a0\u00a0For example, different construction\u00a0specs are recommended for a metal\u00a0building in southern California,\u00a0where wind is generally mild, than in Kansas,\u00a0which sits in \u201cTornado\u00a0Alley.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For\u00a0installed metal roofs, such as on homes and other residential\u00a0buildings, the\u00a0roof must be installed in accord with the manufacturer\u2019s\u00a0guidelines<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0While metal roofs are known for having the\u00a0highest\u00a0strength-to-weight ratio among all other roofing products, how well it\u00a0holds up will have everything to do with the quality of installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

For this\u00a0reason, it\u2019s important to work only with licensed roofing\u00a0contractors who are\u00a0experienced in installing metal roofs.\u00a0\u00a0In milder\u00a0regions where wind and heavy storms aren\u2019t an issue,\u00a0installing a metal\u00a0roof\u00a0can\u00a0be a DIY\u00a0project.\u00a0\u00a0But if weather is a concern, go\u00a0with a pro.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition\u00a0to using proper installation methods, a skilled installer also\u00a0will make sure\u00a0the correct materials are used.\u00a0\u00a0If\u00a0significant rain and\u00a0snow are expected along with high winds, a standing seam\u00a0hydrostatic\u00a0system will prevent water from getting through the roof.\u00a0\u00a0A water-shedding roof is usually appropriate\u00a0in areas with less rain and snowfall.\u00a0\u00a0For\u00a0roofs near an ocean, salt-water-resistant roofing materials,\u00a0fasteners and\u00a0clips are recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintaining a metal roof<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

Metal roofs\u00a0are very strong and will last for decades when properly\u00a0maintained.\u00a0\u00a0Key maintenance tasks include keeping the\u00a0roof free of\u00a0debris, which can cause deterioration, and repairing or replacing\u00a0protective coatings if they are flaking.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s also important to inspect\u00a0periodically for loose seams and\u00a0fasteners.\u00a0\u00a0Your metal roof contractor\u00a0can give you more maintenance advice based on the specific style of\u00a0roof you\u00a0have installed.<\/span><\/p>\n
