Roof Shingles Guelph

Steel Roofing vs. Asphalt Roofing

When it comes time for you to invest in new roof shingles in Guelph you have a choice between traditional asphalt shingles and superior, long-lasting steel roof shingles. It’s not just that your steel roof will last longer than an asphalt roof, there are many other benefits too.

Metal Roofing Materials

The screws and neoprene washers used to install our steel roofs are more precise and watertight than the nails used on asphalt roofs. The metal shakes are a minimum 26 gauge double galvanized steel with a flexible GDM finish. Superior Steel Roofing System’s GDM finish is designed to expand and contract with the steel to prevent cracks. So your roof shingles won’t chip or wear during very hot summers or extreme cold weather.

Weather Resistance

Steel and metal roof shingles cast off ice and water quickly. The rough surface of asphalt shingles is like sandpaper. This traction and friction causes water and ice to cling to the surface, increasing the likelihood of roof damage that can seep into your home.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Steel roof shingles in Guelph help cool your home in the summer, reducing your energy costs. An asphalt roof absorbs the sun’s heat throughout the day, releasing it into your home and increasing your air conditioning costs.

Increased Home Value

Steel and metal roof shingles will last 10x longer than any asphalt roof. The peace of mind of a steel roof—and our transferable 50 year warranty—attracts home buyers. Guelph houses with metal roof shingles are shown to have a significant increase in the market value of their home. A great long term investment for any homeowner or buyer.

Long Term Cost Savings

If you want to replace your Guelph roof shingles, a steel roof can easily be installed above your existing roof. This saves you the cost of shingle removal. However, the best choice is replacing your entire roof with metal and steel shingles. Steels roofs are maintenance free with little susceptibility to damage. So you’ll save more money in the long run, as you won’t have to pay for new asphalt shingles or roof repair every few years.

Roof Shingles in Guelph

Replacement roof shingles in Guelph are often needed because of weather-related damage. Ice dams and sun exposure push up and crack asphalt shingles, which can ultimately cause leaks. In fact, some asphalt shingle manufacturers will recommend you install steel flashing in your roof’s valley or around chimneys because they’re the most vulnerable areas and need protection. So, why not protect your whole roof with metal shingles and steel shakes? Contact Superior Steel Roofing Systems to invest in the best roof coverage in your neighbourhood.
