What is Commercial Metal Roofing?

A metal roofing system consists of overlapping metal panels or shingles that are attached to either a solid substrate or open framing.
Metal roofing is one of the most popular choices for commercial buildings in Toronto and GTA, as it suits a variety of applications and offers decades of long-term performance. As such, metal roofs are widely used for retail spaces, restaurants, breweries, gyms, storage centers, auction buildings, educational institutions, and much more.

The 5 Common Commercial Metal Roofing Types

Providing both unparalleled durability and appealing aesthetics, metal has long served as the roofing material of choice for many architects and commercial building owners. At Metal Roof Masters, we find that steel and aluminum work best for most commercial applications, – but your options for roofing materials don’t end there.

1. Steel

Steel presents an alloy of iron with other elements. Choose between Galvalume, galvanized steel, and stainless steel according to your budget and durability requirements.

2. Aluminum

Aluminum is a lightweight, yet strong, roofing material that offers an excellent cost-to-durability relationship. While being among the most affordable metal roof options, a commercial roof made of aluminum can serve you 45 years or more.

3. Copper

Albeit somewhat pricey, copper metal roofs offer more than just striking aesthetics. Copper roofs are incredibly durable: with the right conditions, a copper roof can last for centuries.

4. Tin

Tin roofs present rolled steel panels with tin coating that notably increases the roof’s durability. Once a popular roofing type, tin roofs are now largely replaced by their aluminum alternatives.

5. Zinc

Zinc roofs flaunt a similar patina aesthetic so often associated with copper roofing. However, the stunning blue-gray patina that covers zinc over time offers more than just beauty: it makes the roof corrosion-resistant, even in the most humid environments.

Type of Metal Roofing for Commercial Building

Choosing the Right Type of Metal Roofing for Your Commercial Building

01

Exposed Fastener vs. Hidden Fastener System

Commercial metal roofing types can be divided into two main categories: exposed fastener metal roofs and hidden fastener standing seam systems. Naturally, with the exposed fastener system, screws are installed directly into the face of the metal sheet to attach it to the structure. With a hidden fastener standing seam roof, metal panels attach through a clip system, with screws being hidden from the sight. Standing seam systems are longer-lasting.

02

Building Size & Metal Panel Length

The joints or seams between metal roofing panels are usually one of the first places where a metal roof fails and starts to leak. Luckily, thanks to modern technology, commercial metal roofing contractors like Metal Roof Masters can manufacture full-length metal roofing panels right at the project site. This eliminates the unnecessary seams and offers building owners numerous advantages, including a more efficient roofing system, reduced costs, and minimized waste.

03

Roofing Pitch

Roof slopes 3/12 or below perform better with metal roofing systems that employ mechanical seams. On the other hand, roof slopes 3/12 and above work well with both mechanically seamed and snap-lock style roofing panels. It is worth noting that snap-lock metal roofing is considered water-shedding rather than waterproof.

04

Solid Deck vs. Open Purlin

All types of commercial metal roofing can be installed over a metal or solid wood deck. However, not all metal roof types can be installed over open purlins that are often found on post frame wood structures or pre-engineered steel buildings. In addition, many structures require the diaphragm strength provided by a screw-down metal roof like a PBR-type metal roof or an R-panel system.

Commercial Metal Roofing FAQs

R-panel metal roofing is successfully used for most commercial and industrial roofing projects. It presents an exposed fastener panel system made of 26 gauge metal.
Low-maintenance, durable, and incredibly energy-efficient, metal roofs come with a higher price tag as compared to other roofing materials. In addition, metal roofs require good attic insulation, – otherwise, the roof can become noisy during a hailstorm or heavy rain.
Copper roofs are among the most durable metal roofs on the market. They have been used for centuries around the world and can last well over 200 years.
The most popular and affordable metal roofs are aluminum roofs, with installation cost ranging between $9 to $16.50 per square foot. In addition, aluminum roofs are incredibly energy-efficient, helping you to conserve energy and reduce the energy bill. The lifespan of an aluminum roof is around 45 years. Once the roof needs replacement, it can be recycled into something else.
Typically, the cheapest commercial roof is asphalt shingle. While commercial metal roofs in Toronto and GTA might require a larger upfront investment, they are undoubtedly superior to asphalt shingles in longevity, durability, and ease of maintenance.
