Seven Things You May Not Know About Today’s Metal Roofs

January 13, 2021/0 Comments/in Commercial Roofing Information /by Garron Lytton

They say that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, and that’s certainly true. All of us should avoid the mistakes of yesteryear.

At the same time, however, we should never let the limitations of the past keep us from enjoying the benefits of the present. Here’s how this applies to contemporary metal roofing:

  1. Modern metallic roofs are remarkably rust-resistant: Forget about the dingy metal roofing you may have seen on antique barns or older houses. Today’s versions are crafted from a high-tech mix of steel, aluminum, and zinc, then protected with a baked-on top coat for the ultimate in beauty and durability.
  2. Modern metallic roofs can stand up to Mother Nature’s worst: Unlike fragile asphalt shingles, our metal roofing materials shrug off the effects of wind, rain, and frozen precipitation. They look as good in the cold of winter as they do in the heat of summer.
  3. Modern metallic roofs don’t have to look like metal: To the contrary, many of them are virtually indistinguishable from natural products like clay, wood, or stone. While you will know that you have a metal roof, your neighbors might not even know – unless you tell them, of course. And why not?
  4. Modern metallic roofs are quiet and well-insulated: You’ll never have to worry about your metal roof disturbing your sleep during an overnight rainstorm. You can rest easy, knowing that the space over your head will never raise a ruckus.
  5. Modern metallic roofs can save you serious money on your utility bills: Just think of how much you spend on air-conditioning during our sultry summer season. Why settle for dark, heat-absorbing asphalt shingles when attractive, light-colored metal roofing can send much of that stifling warmth back where it came from?
  6. Modern metallic roofs are economical: This is especially true when you consider that metal roofing can outlast traditional options by a factor of 3 to 1, according to the experts at State Farm Insurance. Why replace your roof every 15-20 years when today’s metal roofing can last for half a century or longer?
  7. Modern metallic roofs will give you greater peace of mind: It’s reassuring to know that metal roofing will never go up in flames. That’s the kind of reassurance that old-fashioned shingles can never provide.

Eye-catching good looks that can boost your home’s resale value

Some people think of a new roof as an expense. But it’s more accurate to think of metallic roofing as an investment. This is especially true here in the Eastern United States, where homeowners typically recoup more than 95% of the costs of installation. This can make a world of difference to your bank account when the time comes to sell your home.

Our modern metallic roofs are backed by manufacturer-authorized warranties ranging from 50 years to the life of your home. Just ask our experts for the details.

Five Things You Should Know About Metal Roof Coatings

December 24, 2020/0 Comments/in Commercial Roofing Information /by Garron Lytton

Choosing a roof for a commercial structure is a big decision. The choice you make can substantially affect your building’s beauty and longevity for decades to come.

Many of our clients have found that a metal roof is the best choice for their needs. But did you know that the coating you choose for your roof is just as important as the type of material you select? That’s why we’d like to share the following five facts about metal roof coatings.

Fact number one: Coatings are essential for waterproofing a metal roof

A metal roof is laid out in panels and held together by bolts or other fasteners. Over time, rainwater can seep past these connection points and enter your building, causing mold, mildew, and rust.

One way to guard against this danger is by adding a waterproof coating to the roof’s exterior surface. Not only will this make your building more watertight, but it also helps to prevent costly structural damage as well.

Fact number two: A coated roof makes your building more comfortable

Uncoated metal roofing is like Swiss cheese. It’s littered with tiny holes that allow air to escape from the structure. Why spend money on climate control when much of that investment gets blown away by Mother Nature?

A good way to prevent this problem is by adding a protective coating to your metal roof. It seals air leaks and even helps to reflect the sun’s rays during the summer. You’ll save money, and your building will be more comfortable year-round.

Fact number three: You have options when it comes to metal roof coatings

Every building is unique. A roofing product that works great for one structure may be poorly suited to another. That’s why here at Premiere Roofing, we offer multiple options when it comes to metal roof coatings.

Many of our customers find that an elastomeric coating is the way to go. It remains pliable in all types of weather, adapting easily to the changing North Carolina seasons.

We also offer acrylic-based coatings that are highly affordable and provide excellent UV protection. Both options have their share of advantages and considerations. Our experts will work with you to choose the right product for your needs.

Fact number four: Coated metal roofs are environmentally friendly

All of our metallic roof coatings are made with eco-friendly materials following strict environmental standards. Not only are they good for your building, but they’re also a great way to help protect the Earth.

Fact number five: Our coatings can be applied to a metal roof at almost any point during its lifespan

Your roof doesn’t have to be new to benefit from our metal roofing coatings— as long as it’s structurally sound and in good overall shape, it’s probably the right candidate.

There’s a lot more we could tell you about coated metal roofs. But the best way to find out about them is by getting in touch with us today. We’ll answer your questions and schedule an appointment with a member of our customer service team. There’s no cost or obligation to get a customized quote.

Six Smart Advantages of a TPO Flat Roof

December 4, 2020/0 Comments/in Commercial Roofing Information /by Garron Lytton

Choosing a roofing material for your building is a big decision. All of the major products (EPDM, BUR, etc.) have their share of advantages. But for now, let’s concentrate on what makes TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) a particularly good option for commercial roof installations.

tpo flat roof system

Here are six benefits of TPO flat roof system

Advantage #1: Affordability

The costs of installing a TPO roof compare favorably to other options. TPO is typically installed in wide sheets that allow for efficient placement and economies of scale.

Advantage #2: Superior puncture resistance

TPO has undergone extensive durability tests over the years. The results show that it’s 2-3 times more puncture-resistant than other leading materials, making it a great choice for roofs that see a lot of foot traffic and human activity.

Advantage #3: Energy savings

TPO is available in a variety of colors, including lighter shades that reflect rather than absorb the sun’s rays. This translates into significant energy savings, especially in warm weather.

Advantage #4: Environmental friendliness

A TPO roof is recyclable when it reaches the end of its lengthy lifespan (typically 20 years or more). This fact, along with the energy-saving methods used in its manufacture, makes TPO an environmentally friendly roofing solution.

Advantage #5: Ability to withstand the elements

TPO stands up well to rapidly changing weather conditions, from blazing summer heat to rain-soaked winter months. It’s resistant to UV rays and it’s designed to inhibit mold growth, making it a true year-round performer.

Advantage #6: Flexibility

TPO is a highly pliable material that’s ideal for not only flat roofs but peaked and contoured ones as well. This is important to remember, especially if your roof has intake fans, flues, vents, or HVAC units. TPO will not only adhere to these structures, it will expand and contract as needed during the ongoing annual seasons.

Not all TPO is created equal

You may have heard that a TPO flat roof system is less resilient than other roofing materials. But those who make this claim are basing their arguments on tests made of thinner, less durable versions of TPO used by cut-rate installers.

This brings up a crucial point: your choice of roofing contractor is just as important as selecting the right roofing product. Otherwise you may find yourself facing problems such as leaks, mold and mildew, or even costly repair bills.

Top 3 Benefits of Flat Roof Coatings for Commercial Buildings

November 24, 2020/0 Comments/in Commercial Roofing Information /by Garron Lytton

As a business owner, you rely on the structural integrity of your commercial building. A flat roof coating can help in more ways than one. Applying a protective roof coating will help your roof last longer, reduce the need for repairs, and improve the entire building’s energy efficiency.

A flat roof coating extends the lifespan of your roof

Commercial buildings may be built with flat roofs made of tar and gravel (also known as a “built-up roof”); asphalt and rubber modifiers (or “modified bitumen roof”); or with a rubber membrane (“EPDM roofs”). When properly installed, these flat roofs have a life expectancy of 20-40 years. However, many factors can work against that life expectancy, from maintenance practices to acts of nature.

You can preserve the longevity of your roof—and even make it last longer than expected—by having a flat roof coating applied. On average, a commercial roof coating can increase the life expectancy of a flat roof by 10 to 15 years after its application. As a result, commercial building owners can save money by delaying roof replacement.

Flat roof coatings improve the energy efficiency of commercial buildings

Most common roofing materials are darkly colored. Though more traditional and aesthetically pleasing to some, dark roofing materials are less energy efficient. The color of the material is significant because it determines the degree to which the sun’s rays are reflected off the surface. A lightly colored flat roof coating will reflect more light. As a result, savvy business owners in North Carolina might opt for a white roof coating as a way to keep the entire building cooler. White coating is also the economically-preferable and environmentally-conscious choice as it will reduce the demand and cost of air conditioning.

Protective coatings on flat roofs guard against damage from the elements

Weather events are the most unpredictable source of commercial roof damage. Hailstorms, hurricanes, even thunderstorms can inflict damage with felled trees, high winds, and excessive water collection. Commercial building owners can proactively protect against the elements and reduce the need for future repairs with a professionally applied elastomeric flat roof coatings.
