Galvalume Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Galvalume steel is an ideal roofing material and therefore Galvalume Roofing PA is known for its strength, extraordinary outdoor corrosion resistance and longevity. It delivers the optimum combination of the features of aluminum and zinc: the barrier protection and long-term durability of aluminum and the sacrificial or galvanic protection of sheared edges that is characteristic of zinc.

Made of 26 gauge steel this product covered with zinc-aluminum allow, acrylic primer, basecoat, natural stone granules and an over glaze to make sure your metal roof looks as good on day one as it does on year 50!

Copper Roofing

Copper, rooted in centuries of use, will not rust, has no finish to scratch or peel, is soft enough to easily tool and weathers naturally to a beautiful, natural green patina. Although considerably more expensive than aluminum and steel, copper is the metal of choice for buildings with a long design life.

Aluminum Standing Seam Metal Roofs

Aluminum is extremely lightweight, won't rust but must be painted or coated for appearance. Coatings are similar to those used on Galvalume. Therefore Aluminum Roofing PA is a viable option for virtually any roof where steel or other materials are being considered, particularly in coastal environments where salt air can cause corrosion.

Zinc Roofing

In Europe zinc roofing enjoys tremendous popularity, protecting well over 60% of residential roofs. Roofs made with zinc are expected to last 80 to 100 years and even longer, while zinc walls can last anywhere from 200 to 300 years.
