An
Investment Above the Rest
The initial cost of installing a Stone Coated Steel Roof by Metals USA may
be more than with other roofing materials. However, the money a homeowner
can save is significant, because a Allmet roof will be the last roof you
ever buy. An Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof adds to your home’s beauty and
to its resale value. Finally, insurance companies in many states will lower
your homeowner’s insurance premiums by as much as 35% due to the proven
protection of a Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof.
“Good for a
Lifetime” vs. “Sooner or Later”
The average life of a non-steel roof is approximately 17 years. For example,
asphalt, or “composition” shingles can require re-roofing every 10 to 20
years or sooner! Compare that with a Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof that
includes a transferable warranty that is good for the lifetime of the owner.
Give Your Home A Beauty Makeover
Whatever the style, color or
finish of your current roof, there is most likely an Allmet Stone Coated
Steel Roof that will match the appearance of your home. Whether you want the
look of an clay tile, cedar shake or slate, you can select a Stone Coated
Steel Roof by Metals USA that will enhance the beauty of your home.
Strength for the Long Run
Life is hard. Mother Nature is harder, especially on non-steel roofing
materials which begin to deteriorate immediately after they are installed
from exposure to damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun, expansion and
contraction as a result of temperature changes and the effect of hailstones,
heavy snow pack, ice and wind. An Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof, however,
can take extreme weather conditions and still look and protect like new for
a lifetime.
Beautifully Efficient
There’s more to the beautiful
colors and designs of an Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof than meets the eye.
For example, the lighter-colored roofs are designed to effectively reflect
the sun’s heat and reduce the need to cool your home during the hot summer
months. Our “dead air” buffer zone between your new Allmet roof and old roof
also insulates against heat loss in winter months. What a beautiful way to
lower your energy bills.
Putting Our
Warranty Where Our Mouth Is
You don’t need to take anyone’s
word for how long an Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof will last. Our roofs
come with impressive warranties including a 120 m.p.h. Wind Warranty, a 2.5
inch Hailstone Warranty and a Non-Prorated Warranty for the Lifetime of its
Owner (transferable). Also be sure to talk to your chosen roofing installer
about their workmanship warranty.
Metal Myths
Unmasked
Is Lightning Attracted to a
Metal Roof?
There is absolutely no increase in the likelihood of your home being struck
by lightning if you have a metal roof. In fact, if lightning does strike
your Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof, the energy safely dissipates throughout
the entire roof surface, and can exit into the ground. Also, because metal
roofing is NOT combustible or flammable, it is an even smarter choice when
severe weather is a possibility.
Is a Stone Coated Steel Roof
a Noisy Roof?
Absolutely not! Now hear this: An Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof is often
much quieter than even an asphalt shingle roof. Because of our unique
installation method that creates a sound and temperature “buffer zone” of
dead air space, along with our beautifully functional stone coated surface,
even a torrential rain striking the roof panels is no louder than it would
be on a heavy wood shake roof.
Is Rust a Problem with a
Stone Coated Steel Roof?
No! In fact, Allmet Roofing Products are made from high quality Galvalume™
steel that is coated with an acrylic basecoat. Ceramic earth-stone granules
are then embedded over this basecoat. Finally, a clear acrylic over-glaze is
applied and baked on. This provides your home with a long-lasting, durable
and fade-resistant protection for a lifetime of enjoyment.
Is Denting a Problem?
Again, no! In fact, Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roofs can and do stand up
to hailstones, snow loads and extreme wind conditions without any structural
or cosmetic damage. That’s one reason our weatherproof warranties include a
120 m.p.h. Wind Warranty and 2.5 inch Hailstone Warranty.
Standing Up for Durability
If you’ve
heard anyone say that a metal roof shouldn’t be walked on, they’re obviously
not talking about an Allmet Stone Coated Steel Roof. Our unique interlocking
panel design, rugged Galvalume™ steel construction and proven installation
methods provide a strong roof system that can be walked on under normal
conditions.
