In terms of long-term value, metal roofs often prove to be more cost-effective due to their longevity and energy efficiency. The initial cost is 2-3x higher than the traditional asphalt shingle roof. But metal roofing saves in many ways – lasting decade after decade. It can often be installed over existing roofs, so you save on the cost of tearing off your current roof and disposing of the materials. The superior material and advanced engineering of a Classic Products Metal Roof results in significant energy savings year after year. The beauty and durability of a Classic Products Roof increases the value of your home. And a Classic Products Roofing System comes with a lifetime warranty, so you can break the cycle of repairing and replacing shingle roofs.
Metal roofs are highly durable and provide excellent protection against hail damage. A Classic Products Metal Roof is boasting a high impact-resistance rating (Class 4) that allows it to withstand hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter. Made from strong materials like steel and aluminum, our roofing products are less prone to punctures and cracks than asphalt shingles and require minimal to no maintenance after hailstorms. Additionally, many insurance companies offer reduced premiums for homes with metal roofs due to their lower damage risk. With their longevity and ability to endure harsh weather, metal roofs are an ideal choice for areas prone to hail.
A metal roof offers superior longevity compared to traditional roofing materials like asphalt, wood, and concrete. Asphalt shingles, with a lifespan of just 8-12 years, begin to degrade as soon as they’re exposed to the elements. Wood and concrete roofs face weather-related problems such as warping, cracking, and decay, especially in colder climates. In contrast, a Classic Products Metal Roof is completely weather-resistant and won’t decompose over time. Built to last 50 years or more, it retains both its beauty and strength, offering reliable protection for your home, fewer repairs, and significant long-term savings.
Yes, a Classic Products Metal Roofing System is an environmentally responsible choice. Crafted from recycled materials and fully recyclable at the end of its life, metal roofs significantly reduce waste compared to traditional asphalt shingles that typically end up in landfills. Additionally, they can be installed directly over existing roofs, minimizing waste and eliminating the need for a complete tear-off. This means less debris in landfills and a more efficient installation process. Additionally, metal roofs reflect heat, which improves energy efficiency by reducing cooling costs in warmer months. With its long-lasting durability and energy-saving benefits, a Classic Products Roofing System helps homeowners reduce their carbon footprint and contributes to a more sustainable future.
Home improvement chains offer a limited selection of metal roofing products, often relying on subcontractors for installation, which can result in inconsistent quality. At Classic Products Roofing Systems, we set the industry standard for durability and craftsmanship, with our roofs proudly made in North America, not imported from overseas. In Ontario, we go a step further by owning and managing our own exclusive installation company, ensuring that every roof is installed by highly trained professionals who specialize solely in Classic Roofing Systems. This commitment to quality guarantees superior results and long-lasting protection for your home.
Rain will not sound loud on a Classic Products Metal Roof. Thanks to its rugged texture and advanced design, a Classic Products Roof minimizes the noise you might expect from a flat metal surface. The roof’s folds and structure help break up the sound of rain, making it much quieter and more comfortable during storms compared to older or thinner metal roofs. You can enjoy the durability of metal without worrying about excessive noise from rain.
A metal roof is fire-resistant due to its non-combustible materials like aluminum, steel, or copper, which don’t ignite or burn when exposed to flames. Unlike wood or asphalt shingles, metal retains its integrity under extreme heat, making it a safer choice for fire-prone areas.
Classic Products Metal Roofs have a Class A fire rating, the highest possible, providing superior protection against the spread of fire. Metal also conducts heat poorly, so embers that land on the roof cool quickly, reducing the risk of ignition. With a protective coating enhancing fire resistance, a Classic Products Metal Roofing System offers long-lasting peace of mind.
Yes, you can walk on a Classic Products Metal Roof, but it’s essential to follow some guidelines to ensure safety and protect the roof’s surface. Classic Products Roof Systems are designed to handle typical roof traffic, thanks to their high-strength metal composition and deep textures, which enhance durability and support. If you need to walk on your metal roof, wearing soft-soled shoes can help prevent scuffing, and stepping carefully near panel seams or structural support areas will further safeguard the roof’s integrity.
Sorting through metal roofing options can feel overwhelming, but Classic Products is here to make it easy. We don’t just sell roofing; we educate homeowners on the best solutions for their unique needs. With options ranging from modern standing seams to textured shake designs, metal roofing offers exceptional variety.
In a free, no-obligation consultation, we’ll explore your preferences—be it enhancing curb appeal, increasing energy efficiency, or maximizing durability. Taking factors like climate, structure, and budget into account, we’ll suggest the most suitable options. If our products aren’t the best fit, we’ll be upfront, providing clear guidance to support a wise, long-term investment.
The gauge of metal indicates its thickness, with roofing gauges typically ranging from 22 (thicker) to 29 (thinner). Lower gauges, like 24, are stronger and offer greater durability and impact resistance, especially in harsh weather. However, quality isn’t solely determined by thickness; it also depends on factors like material, coating, design, and installation. Thicker gauges are often ideal for snowy or hail-prone areas, while thinner gauges may suit milder climates and be more cost-effective.
At Classic Products, we focus on roofing materials that provide superior quality, durability, and design flexibility, which sheet metal often cannot deliver. Sheet metal roofs tend to be noisy, vulnerable to dents, and can face issues with expansion, contraction, and fastener stability. Additionally, they offer limited design choices that may not suit homeowners’ aesthetic preferences. We prioritize roofing solutions that ensure long-lasting performance, style, and value for our customers.
Yes, a Classic Products Roof System can be installed on your low-slope roof, provided it has a minimum pitch of 4/12. This means that for every 12 horizontal inches, the roof must rise at least 4 inches. Classic Products Roofing Systems are designed to handle various slope conditions effectively, ensuring that water drains properly and that the roof maintains its integrity over time.
For roofs with a pitch lower than 4/12, specifically those with a 3/12 pitch or lower, we recommend considering a standing seam product. Whether you have a moderate pitch or a low-slope roof, our team is ready to assist you in selecting the right roofing solution tailored to your specific needs.
All Classic Products Roofing Systems are installed on solid roof decking rather than using battens and strapping, which provides numerous key benefits. This method enhances durability by creating a stable foundation that reduces movement and wear over time. It also improves weather resistance, ensuring a tighter seal against leaks and moisture intrusion, while eliminating the risk of wood rot associated with batten systems. Direct installation allows for better insulation options, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing costs. Additionally, this streamlined process makes installation faster and more efficient, ultimately lowering labor costs.
When comparing steel and aluminum for roofing, steel is generally the more budget-friendly option. It typically has a lower initial cost, making it an affordable choice for those on a tighter budget. While aluminum is more resistant to corrosion, especially in coastal areas, galvanized steel can also be quite durable when properly coated. It is also important to note that while aluminum may have a higher upfront price, its longevity and resistance to corrosion can make it a more cost-effective option over time, particularly in harsher climates. So, if you’re looking for an economical choice initially, steel is usually the way to go; however, considering long-term benefits is crucial when determining the best material for your specific needs.
