3.  Nowadays, most metal roofing systems are made
from steel and aluminum, although those made
with other materials like copper and alloy may
also be available at a higher price. Aluminum is
relatively a softer and lighter metal than steel and
is more prone to denting and damage. However,
it won’t corrode, unlike steel once the protective
finish gets compromised by age, wear and tear,
and/or long exposure to the elements. But
aluminum is also more expensive than steel.

4.  Steel is by far the most common of available
roofing materials. It is heavier, sturdier, and
cheaper than aluminum. It can be galvanized.
Steel is usually zinc-coated for corrosion
protection and then sealed. In sealing, it is first
coated with epoxy primer, followed by another
coat of baked-on acrylic. Most manufactured
steel roofing systems also now come additionally
coated with Kynar, a fluorocarbon, for extra
strong protection. Stainless steel roofing is more
expensive than regular steel but it is rust-proof
and won’t corrode. If coated with terne, an alloy
made of tin and lead, stainless steel will have a
natural matte-gray finished look.

5.  Commercially available metal roofing comes in two
basic forms: sheet panels and shingles. Sheet metal
panels, available in a variety of sizes, thickness and
technical specs, are further classified according to the
method they will be joined together to form a system:
panels for a standing-seam system and panels for a
batten system. Metal shingles on the other hand are
stamped sheet metal with decorative finishes and
textures which are available as simulated clay or
stone tiles, wood shakes or slates as well as in such
other decorative shapes. These metal shingles are
given multiple-layer factory finishes that make them
indistinguishable from the real thing.
