Why Choose Stone-Coated Steel Roofing?

Why Choose Stone-Coated Steel Roofing?
Stone-coated steel roofing combines the inherent strength of steel with the attractive look of traditional roofing materials like shingles, tile, and shake. This innovative solution offers a multitude of benefits for Central Ohio homeowners:
- Unmatched Durability: Crafted from Galvalume® steel and coated with stone granules bonded by acrylic polymers, these roofs are built to last for decades. They resist cracking, splitting, curling, and are non-porous, providing superior protection against water damage.
- Exceptional Weather Resistance: Central Ohio experiences a wide range of weather conditions, from harsh winters with heavy snow and ice to hot summers with potential for severe storms and hail. Stone-coated steel roofs are specifically engineered to withstand these extremes:
- Hail Resistance: Featuring the highest UL Class 4 impact rating, these roofs can endure significant hail storms with minimal to no damage, protecting your investment.
- Wind Resistance: Properly installed stone-coated steel panels can resist wind speeds exceeding 120 mph, providing crucial protection during strong Ohio storms.
- Snow Load Capacity: The steel core allows these roofs to bear substantial snow loads without compromising structural integrity, a vital feature for Central Ohio winters.
- Ice Dam Prevention: The design, often incorporating an “above sheathing ventilated” (ASV) system, promotes airflow, helping to mitigate ice dam formation common in areas with heavy snowfall.
- Fire Resistance: With a Class A fire rating when used with appropriate underlayment, stone-coated steel roofs offer excellent protection against fire hazards, including wind-driven embers.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: While not traditionally known for high reflectivity like some lighter-colored metal roofs, stone-coated steel can still contribute to energy savings due to its thermal properties and the ventilation it often allows.
- Increased Home Value and Curb Appeal: A beautiful and long-lasting stone-coated steel roof significantly enhances your home’s curb appeal and can increase its resale value. The variety of profiles and colors available allows you to choose a style that perfectly complements your home’s architecture.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike some traditional roofing materials, stone-coated steel requires minimal maintenance, saving you time and money on upkeep.
- Sustainability: Stone-coated steel is often made with recycled content and is 100% recyclable at the end of its lifespan, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
