Metal is hard to beat for homeowners looking for a roof that is extremely easy to maintain and durable.
Premium metal roof finishes and coatings come in a wide range of benefits and styles. The right coating can help achieve the look you want, solve specific problems, and even extend the life of your roof.
However, considering all the options and considerations for metal roofing can be confusing. There are also specific performance specifications for the various finishes available. For example, some paints labeled “cool” use special pigments that reflect infrared and ultraviolet light. These cool covers can help reduce heat buildup and reduce the need for air conditioning.
When choosing among the various metal roof coatings available on the market, homeowners should keep the following basic principles in mind:
Modern high-performance metal roofing not only protects the roof, but also significantly increases the energy efficiency and life of the roof. In addition, high performance paint systems in a variety of styles and colors are available to meet the aesthetic needs of homeowners. A quality metal roof with burnt factory finish also simplifies maintenance. Most manufacturers recommend simply rinsing them with a hose and, at best, using a mild soapy solution to clean them.
High quality metal roof coating systems provide a durable finish with improved gloss retention, superior weather resistance and reduced fading. These coating systems should be applied to metal substrates with a 0.2-0.3 mil primer and a 0.7-1.2 mil top coat.
Sophisticated paint systems can also help homeowners achieve a distinctive look. For example, a quality paint finish that closely resembles the multicolored appearance of natural stone such as slate is a beautiful style with the strength and lightness advantages of steel.
Stone coated metal roofing is a great option for homeowners who prefer the look and feel of traditional shingle roofing materials but want the durability of metal.
Starting with a base metal base (usually steel), the specially treated roof panels are first coated with an acrylic polymer adhesive, followed by a granular stone coating that bonds them together. Finally, apply a clear sealer on top for extra protection. This type of finish offers homeowners all the benefits of a metal roof, while also giving the home more appeal.
Stone faced metal roofs are also a solution for homeowners who live in areas where homeowner associations may not allow standing seam metal roofs. Because stone-covered metal roofs are very similar to traditional shingles, they can meet certain public design requirements while providing better protection and performance than asphalt.
“According to our manufacturer’s representatives, homeowners have a wide selection of the industry’s best premium metal roofing,” said MRA Executive Director René Ramey, “from outstanding visual appeal to long-term performance. because your metal roof can completely transform your home.”
