BEAUTY
Are Classic Metal Roofs beautiful?
Yes. The long life and extra protection of a Classic Roof not only protects but enhances the beauty and value of your home. Classic Metal Roofing Systems carry valuable and meaningful warranties against fading, chipping, chalking, and rusting. Our Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® coating products are low gloss for beauty and lead the industry in terms of durability. A Classic metal roof comes in lasting colors and themes that will fit a myriad of tastes and styles.
DURABILITY
How long do Classic Metal Roofs last?
Classic Metal Roofing Systems are made from aluminum so they can not rust and are not broken down by the elements. We are so convinced of the superiority of our metal roofing systems, we back up our products with a lifetime limited warranty for the original owner and a 40-year transferable warranty for all future owners.
Are your roofs durable?
Classic Metal Roofing Systems have passed wind and uplift tests including UL 580: a rigorously demanding test of roofing materials that simulates wind speeds over 120 miles per hour. Thanks to our four-way interlocking system, we passed the performance requirements of areas like Dade County Florida and other hurricane prone regions.
Classic Metal Roofing Systems have passed the UL 2218 Impact Resistance Test at its most severe level, Class IV. With this type of protection, homeowners with Classic Metal Roofing Systems in states prone to severe hail are able to receive insurance discounts.
Our metal roofing systems also lead the way in fire protection for your home. Many wildfires spread from home to home, consuming both possessions and life. Oftentimes, these fires start on the rooftops caused by wind-blown sparks and embers.
With a Classic Metal Roofing System, you can rest easy knowing that your home and family are protected from deadly and destructive flames by non-combustible roofing materials.
How does Classic Metal Roofing compare roofing like asphalt or wood shingles?
With temporary roofing products, your roof starts to deteriorate the moment it is installed. According to the asphalt roofing industry, the average lifespan of traditional shingles is 12-17 years! Heavily pro-rated warranties on these products bring little or no value to property owners. Wood shingles also deteriorate quickly. Classic Metal Roofing Systems carry meaningful long-term warranties on both the base metal and their high-quality coatings.
Can we walk on it?
Sure! Our high-strength metals don't lose their strength over time, making our roofs just as resistant to foot traffic and even hail when they are many years old as they are when they are new. Classic Metal Roofing Systems' deep folds and texture give our roofs even greater strength.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Will I save on my energy bills?
Yes, you will see noticeable savings to your energy bills, by reducing attic heat by up to 34% and reflecting the sun’s radiant energy. Our Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® coating incorporates the advanced HI-R Heat Barrier coating, which creates a cooler, more efficient home due to the special reflective pigments embedded in the finish. The complex chemical structure of these pigments reflects away the infrared portion of the sun's rays most responsible for heat. A Classic roof coated with HI-R reflects away the sun's heat leaving the attic space and the entire building much cooler in the summer. In the winter, reflected heat from the sun helps the roof shed snow and ice build up evenly and quickly. Homeowners with a Classic roof report saving up to 20% or more on their energy costs.
Is a Classic Metal Roof environmentally friendly?
A Classic Metal Roofing System is a Green Roof - it is made from 95% recycled aluminum and its long life expectancy guarantees sustainability. Add in energy efficiency and the ability to be installed over most existing roofs (avoiding landfill disposal of old materials) and you have what is likely the most environmentally-friendly roof available to homeowners.
REACTING TO THE ELEMENTS
Can Classic Metal Roofing withstand the elements?
A unique four-way interlock and nail clip system assures a weather-tight, wind-resistant hold on all four sides of a Classic metal roof. This interlock system has been proven in laboratory tests to remain watertight even during wind-driven rain of over 110 miles per hour. Classic roofing systems withstood the ravages of Andrew and Hugo, two of the worst of the century, without blowing off or leaking, saving homeowners costly repairs.
What will happen to a Classic Roof in a lightning storm?
Lightning occurs from the highest object in an area, regardless of the material from which it is made. Metal roofing does not create nor attract lightning and poses no additional lightning risk to the structures it protects.
What about hail?
Your warranty will guarantee against splitting in a hail storm. The heavily-textured beauty of our metal roofing systems adds strength and prepares them to take whatever Mother Nature dishes out. Our warranty provides specific hail protection including protection against finish damage and leaking due to hail. Additionally, unlike most other roofing materials, metal does not lose impact resistance with age.
When it rains, will it sound loud on the roof?
For normal construction methods, metal roofing does not create objectionable noise during rainstorms. Another benefit of our product's rugged texture is that it actually quiets the rain on your roof by eliminating any resonating 'sound-board' effect. The deep-textured folds in our products avoid the 'pinging' sound you might expect from a flatter metal roof.
What about fire?
A Classic Metal Roof is completely non-combustible and provides great protection from external fires. The interlocking fixing system of the roof prevents cinders and heat getting into the ceiling system of your home. Additionally, the extreme low weight of our products minimizes any cave-in threat which might occur with an interior house fire.
Why are our Classic Metal Roofs technologically innovative?
At Classic Metal Roofing Systems, we put our materials and designs to the test every day. From the exacting standards with which we test our raw materials, to the intricate inspection performed before our roofing systems ship, Classic strives to make sure the roof on your home lasts a lifetime.
Classic Metal Roofing has a proven history of staying on the leading edge of residential metal roofing. Our intricately detailed products are well respected as leading the industry in terms of beauty. Our focus on aluminum allows homeowners to choose a metal roof which never has a risk of rusting.
Over the years, Classic Metal Roofing has also stayed on the leading edge of coating technology. We were the first roofing manufacturer of residential metal shingles to use Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® paint systems, providing the ultimate in fade and chalk resistance. We were also the first company to introduce heat-reflective coatings to the residential metal roofing industry, helping our customers create energy-efficient homes to maximize energy savings while meeting the goals of today's local, state, and federal energy efficiency initiatives. And, most recently, Classic Metal Roofing developed and began offering the first Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® powder coating ever used in the metal roofing industry.
