Corrugated Sheet Metal Roofing Is the Roofing of Choice for Discriminating Homeowners
Basic Benefits of Metal Roofing
Corrugated sheet metal roofing uses metal sheets as roofing materials that have a wave-like pattern with ridges and grooves. This pattern gives them extra strength, despite being lightweight. These corrugated metal roofing sheets are stronger than plain metal sheets.
Metal roofing has been around since 1850. Barns, sheds and industrial buildings with sheet metal roofing were a common sight. They were rarely used for residential purposes because of the most common drawback of corrugated sheet metal: rusting.
Metal Roofing Systems from WisMetalRoof are Environmentally Friendly
Today’s corrugated roofing sheets are available in copper, aluminum, zinc alloy and stainless steel. All these types vary in their features like durability, appearance and cost. Among them, aluminum is preferred the most for residential purposes, as it is inexpensive and extremely lightweight. These roofing materials are resilient and resistant to rust; and for better looks and a longer lifespan, they are coated and painted. Now, the modern versions of corrugated metal roofing are not only made resistant to rust and other natural elements, but are also “in sync” with the latest architectural trends. These features have helped a lot in its revival as residential roofing material.
