Factors that Impact Roof Size
Determining the size of a roof involves considering various factors that can influence its dimensions and complexity. Below are key factors that impact roof size:
- Square Footage of Living Space: The size of the roof is directly related to the square footage of the living space beneath it. Larger homes typically have larger roofs.
- Roof Pitch: The pitch or slope of the roof affects its size because steeper pitches require more surface area to cover the same square footage of living space compared to roofs with shallower pitches.
- Architectural Features: Roof size can be influenced by architectural features such as dormers, gables, chimneys, and skylights, which add complexity and surface area to the roof.
- Aesthetic Considerations: Design preferences, such as roof style and shape, can also affect roof size. For example, a hip roof design typically requires more surface area than a gable roof design for the same living space.
Understanding these factors is essential for accurately estimating the size of a roof and planning for roofing materials, labor, and costs associated with installing your new metal roof.
Types of Metal Roofs in the Twin Cities
Here you’ll find some details on the types of metal that you can install on your rooftop:
Corrugated Metal Roofing
- Galvanized steel rolled into a pattern.
- The most popular styles of corrugated metal are U-panel and R-panel.
- Patterns may vary, corrugated metal is stacked like tile.
- Corrugation runs perpendicular to steel grooves to enhance strength.
- Corrugated metal is prefabricated and cost-effective.
- Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easily transported.
- Directs water off of your roof.
Standing-Seam Metal Roofing
- Come in snap-lock, mechanical lock, and batten panel seal types.
- Each seal type provides different protection.
- Choose a specific seam type based on climate to protect your building.
- Seams stand up higher than the roof itself due to interlocking panels.
- Aesthetic standing seam also protects the fasteners.
- Wide range of colors, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and seam types offered.
- Durable and cost-effective.
The Pros and Cons of A New Metal Roof
We understand that the roof you choose for your home or business is an important decision. Below you’ll find some points to consider to inform your choice better.
Pros Of Metal Roofing
- Durability: You can count on metal roofs to withstand the elements—including gusts of wind up to 140 miles per hour—and not corrode or crack thanks to rust-proof coatings.
- Longevity: A properly installed metal roof will last as long as the house, with an expected lifespan of 40 to 70 years and, often. (By contrast, traditional asphalt roofing typically lasts 12 to 20 years.)
- Sustainability: Metal roofs can be fully recycled at the end of their service life, with materials such as steel able to do so without losing strength or durability.
Cons Of Metal Roofing
- Noisy: Unless sheathed or insulated, (which can add to the total cost of your roof) metal roofing can add increasing noise to your home, particularly during rain and thunderstorms.
- Upfront Costs: Higher-end metal roofing materials can run over 10 times the cost of asphalt, and that’s not taking installation costs into account.
