STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF

standing seam metal roof is a type of metal roofing panel that locks together with other panels using concealed fasteners. The appearance of a standing seam roof is a wide flat area of panel situated between vertical legs, also known as raised seams. The fasteners are looped together and hidden beneath the raised seam, giving the roof a clean, modern appearance. Standing seam panels are attached directly to the fasteners or clipped to the roof decking. These metal roofing panels can be customized by the spacing between the vertical legs and with the colour. Standing seam metal roofs are interlocked in three main ways: snap lock, mechanically seamed and nail strips.

Tiles Metal Roofing Winnipeg

METAL TILE ROOF

metal tiled roof replicates the look of real tile but has the cost and weight of metal. This type of Winnipeg roofing, like metal shingle roofing, was developed as an alternative to the heavier material on which it is replicated after. Metal tile roofing is available in a wide variety of colours and textures. The most popular metal roof tile options are monterrey and adamante. Get in touch with our tile roofers to learn more!

CORRUGATED METAL ROOF

Corrugated metal roofing is made from metal sheets that have been rolled and formed into metal panels. The panels are fixed in place with exposed fasteners (meaning the screws are exposed). Corrugated metal roofing sheets are typically round and wavy in shape but are not limited to just that. By corrugating metal sheets, rather than leaving them straight, it increases the tensile strength making corrugated metal resistant to breaking under tension. Corrugated steel roofing is available in many colours and even designs. The two most common types of corrugated metal roofing are ⅞” Corrugated and ½” Corrugated. Note: Weathertightness issues are common in exposed metal roofing fasteners.

METAL SHINGLE ROOF

Metal shingle roofs are intended to be an alternative to traditional asphalt, cedar, or slate shingles, but with the toughness and durability of high-strength steel roofing panels. Under normal conditions and with minimal maintenance, metal roof shingles will not rot, curl, crack, break, chip, peel, or perforate. Metal shingle roofing is also extremely lightweight and has various colours and textures to choose from. Metal shingles use a four way interlocking metal roofing system, so you never have to worry about reroofing again.

FLAT ROOFING

flat roof is a nearly horizontal roof commonly used in commercial or residential properties. Low slope roofs are more prone to water damage because there isn't much slope for rainwater to runoff. If water remains on the roof surface for an extended period of time, it can penetrate the roof, resulting in metal roof leaks and costly repairs. Metal panels are the ideal Winnipeg roofing material for low-pitched roofs because they are weathertight and have concealed fasteners. The 2021 census numbers also show that Winnipeg has the sixth-highest city population in Canada at 749,607. From 2016 to 2021, Winnipeg's population grew by more than 44,000 people – an increase of 6.3%. With the increasing population, lots of modern homes are being built. Our roofing contractors specialize in flat roof installations and can make your modern home in Winnipeg stand out.

METAL COLOURS: THE PERFECT MATCH

After you’ve decided on a metal roof for your home, the next step is determining the details. The two main decisions you need to make is the colour and style of metal panel you want. Whatever style and colour you choose, make sure it complements the existing architecture of your home. You want the colour to blend in with your surroundings, environment, and property. In Winnipeg, the summers are long and warm; the winters are frigid, snowy, and windy; and it is partly cloudy year round. Because of this, we recommend going with a dark coloured roof to help your home retain heat in the winter.

Therefore, this makes the decision almost fully on design. You want a style that will fit in with your neighbourhood, environment and property.

Why You Need A Metal Roof In WinnipegMetal roof during the Winnipeg winter is a great idea. The cold season lasts for 3.3 months, from November 27 to March 5, with an average daily high temperature below -3 °C. The coldest month of the year in Winnipeg is January, with an average low of -18 °C and high of -10 °C. Since Winnipeg Manitoba experiencesvery cold and occasionally rather brutal winter temperatures, a metal roof is the best choice for homeowners. Steel roofing is more watertight than traditional shingles and since it is lighter, ice and snow can slide right off, which prevents the formation of icicles on the surface.

Winnipeg MB is near the top of the list of windiest Canadian cities, with the average wind speed being 16.9 kilometres per hour. During these high winds, many roofs get damaged. However, almost all of these roofs are asphalt. Asphalt shingles can’t withstand severe winds. After a storm, you will often find shingles torn off your roof which will result in costly repairs. A metal roof, on the other hand, can withstand heavy winds and won’t need repairs at all.

From the style or design, to the kind of metal, paint finish and installation method used – the options seem endless, so how do you choose?

What is the right metal roofing product for my house?

If none of the conditions mentioned apply to you, you are free to select from any of the available metal roofing solutions. Here are some additional factors to consider to help you narrow down your options as well as the roofing cost of each material:

FACTORS THAT AFFECT METAL ROOFING PRICES

When it comes to metal roof costs in Manitoba, there are many factors that affect the metal roofing prices. Roofs are classified as "easy" or "difficult" by roofing contractors based on their physical location and structure. Is there any special equipment required for installation? Is it a walkable distance? Is there anything else that will make the installation take longer?

01 Panel Design

Metal roofing cost is determined by two major design choices: interlocking panels (concealed fastener) and overlapping panels (exposed fastener). Interlocking panels are more expensive because they have more structural detail, go through a lengthy forming process, and take up more space. They also have higher quality because they are interlocked on four sides, which adds to the cost.

02 Metal Type Chosen

The roof's material plays a significant part in your new metal roof cost Manitoba. In general, the price of roofing materials is heavily influenced by raw material supply and demand, as well as processing costs. The roof underlayment also plays a part in the price.

04 Home Shape

The architectural shape of your home can increase your steel roof cost Manitoba. When there are numerous angles, dormers, and skylights to cut around, the job becomes more difficult and expensive.

04 Home Size & Roof Slope

It goes without saying that the larger the roof, the more expensive the materials. Metal roof prices are usually higher with a steeper slope roof, simply because the contractor requires a larger crew and more equipment to ensure the job is done safely. It also takes longer, which adds hours to the total cost.

05 Finish / Paint / Coatings

The finish / coating your metal roof Winnipeg has will play a part in the cost of the overall project. Polyester-based paint is the most cost-effective type of coating. It is inexpensive due to its short lifespan. PVDF, or Polyvinylidene Flouride, is considered the best roof coating due to its durability, chalk and fade resistance, and adhesion.

FAQS

Got a question? We're here to help!

Do steel roofs need vents?Without proper roof ventilation, you're allowing your attic to remain at a high temperature. This can lead to unnecessary and premature damage to your roof. Roof vents improve air flow, which reduces moisture buildup in attics. Learn more about steel roof vents here.

Is it worth putting on a metal roof?A metal roof Winnipeg is definitely worth the investment. Asphalt shingles last between 10-12 years whereas a steel roof will last 50-100 years. Not only do they last a long time but metal roofing is durable, eco-friendly and fire, hail and wind resistant. Even though steel roofing is expensive, it is well worth the investment.

Learn more information about the advantages and disadvantages of metal roofing.

Is it normal for a metal roof to make noise?Metal roofs are known to make creaking noises on occasion. These noises are frequently heard when there is a sudden temperature change. When metal is hot or cold, it expands and contracts slightly. If this happens to your roof, it may creak as it changes shape as it warms or cools.

Do metal roofs have problems?Life happens around your metal panels. Scratches, nicks, and scuffs can occur from falling objects, severe weather storms, or even during installation. Most paint systems and finishes are extremely tough and will resist this aesthetic issue. Although, sometimes life just happens and these issues can't be prevented. Learn more about our metal roof repairs.

What is the cheapest metal roofing?Corrugated steel panel roofs
The least expensive type of metal roofing is corrugated steel panel, which ranges in price from $3.50 to $6.50 per square foot, roughly the same as asphalt shingle roofing. The typical price range for installing a corrugated steel roof is between $10,500 and $19,500.

Can metal roofing be installed over asphalt shingles?In almost every case, the answer is yes; a new steel roof can be installed over an existing shingle roof. One of the many reasons metal roofs are becoming more popular is that their installation does not necessitate completely tearing off the existing roof, which is a time-consuming and costly job. The shingles can even act as an underlayment for your new roof. However, the shingles expanding and contracting can cause damage underneath the metal roof over time.

Where do metal roofs leak?One of the most common places for leaks to develop on metal roofs is the area around a roof curb. Even if flashing is properly constructed all the way around the curb, water can eventually seep through, especially on the side facing uphill.

Is it loud when it rains on a metal roof?One of the most frequent questions we get asked from homeowners considering metal roofing is this one. Let's get right to the point: Metal roofs don't make a lot of noise when it rains. The key to noise reduction is preventing noises from striking hard, flat surfaces. However, modern metal roofing materials go beyond a simple flat sheet of bare metal. A roof's ability to block and reduce the reverberation of sound waves increases with the thickness of its covering and the surface texture.

Are metal roofs better than shingles?Metal roofing uses far less energy than asphalt shingles. Metal roofing provides significant energy savings to homeowners through the use of cool roof pigments and above sheathing ventilation. Cool roof pigments reflect sunlight, reducing the amount of energy absorbed by the roof material.

How do you know when to replace a metal roof?Four signs you should replace your metal roof
1. The painted finish on your metal roof panels has reached the 30-year mark (standing seam only)
2. Something damaged the painted finish on the metal roof panels (standing seam only)
3. The fasteners are starting to wallow out (screw down only)
4. Storm damage to the metal panels (both)

Can metal roofing be painted?Yes, a metal roof can be painted. And the good news is that painting them can be an added bonus by increasing their lifespan even further. Whether it's an old roof or a new one, paint for a metal roof can increase its life and also reduce the average cost of energy.

Which is better, asphalt or metal?Metal roofing often lasts 2-4 times longer than shingles. Homeowners prefer the thought of only having to purchase one additional roof in their lifetime rather than potentially many. In circumstances of hail and other extreme weather conditions, metal roofing performs better than shingles. Metal is also recyclable whereas asphalt goes straight to the landfill.

Where do metal roofs leak?One of the most common places for leaks to develop on metal roofs in Winnipeg Manitoba is the area around a roof curb. Even if flashing is properly constructed all the way around the curb, water can eventually seep through, especially on the side facing uphill.
