Metal Roofing and Services for Industrial & Commercial Buildings
Commercial metal roofing and services provide the ultimate versatility and protection for your industrial and commercial buildings. Correctly installed and maintained, these solutions can last up to 60 years, easily justifying the upfront investment.
What is Metal Roofing?
Metal roofing in North America became popular in the 19th century when the invention of corrugated metals and galvanization in Europe launched a new era in building materials. Before that, some buildings in North America used lead and copper roofing elements.
Most modern metal roofs are made from corrugated galvanized steel (a steel sheet coated with zinc). Copper, aluminum, stainless steel and tin are also used in commercial metal roof applications. Coatings can be applied to provide additional waterproofing, anti-rust and UV protection.
Benefits of Metal Roofing and Siding
Durability
Metal roofs and siding come in various thicknesses and with various finishes that resist regular tear and wear, harsh environments, exhaust and pollutants.
The longest life span
When installed and maintained correctly, a commercial metal roof can last between 25 and 50 years. In some cases, it is possible to get up to 60 years of excellent performance. Non-combustible, ideal for areas with a high frequency of fires.
Unparalleled weather resistance
Metal roofs and siding are ready to face heavy rain and snow and will shed both with high efficiency.
Visual customization
Metal roofs and siding can enhance the look of your facility through custom colors and elements to match your brand. They are ideal for unique profiles and architectural accents.
Lightweight
Simplifies installations and can be used in more applications than heavier roofs.
Sustainability
Properly installed metal roofs and siding may drastically decrease your energy bills due to the presence of additional insulation and a reflective surface. Their durability allows you to keep the same solution for an extended period and recycle the panels once it is time for replacement. In many cases, you can retrofit your existing roof with metal or insulation and a single-ply membrane instead of opting for a complete replacement, keeping the waste out of landfills and stretching your budget further.
Metal Roof Installation Process
The installation of commercial metal roofing and siding is normally fast and straightforward, whether your project is a reroof or retrofit. Metal panels are lightweight and easy to handle, allowing contractors to work efficiently.

Flute Fill Systems for Commercial Facilities
The outstanding durability of metal panels allows many facilities to retrofit their existing roof instead of replacing it. The retrofitting process involves placing insulation panels into the flutes of your metal roof, adding a recovery layer or insulation and then installing a roof membrane. Flute fill retrofit systems allow you to stretch your roofing budget further while decreasing your environmental impact through repurposing and energy efficiency. The main benefits of this method include:
Roofing cost savings
Retrofit eliminates the cost of a tear-off and disposal of your existing roof.
Added insulation
Drastically improves your energy efficiency and the R-value.
Improves moisture resistance
Flute fill allows to insulate any gaps and prevent moisture buildup.
