FAQs
Why should I choose metal panels for my roof or siding in Elora instead of traditional materials like asphalt shingles or vinyl siding?
Metal panels deliver superior longevity (40–70 years compared with 15–25 years for asphalt), withstand Elora’s heavy snow loads and freeze–thaw cycles, and offer Class A fire resistance. They are also 100 % recyclable, highly energy-efficient due to their reflective coatings, and can boost property value thanks to their modern aesthetic.
How well do metal roofs and sidings perform in Elora’s climate, especially during winter?
Standing-seam and corrugated metal panels are engineered to shed snow quickly, minimizing ice-dam formation common in Wellington County. The interlocking seams prevent wind-driven rain from penetrating, and galvanic or aluminum substrates resist corrosion from road-salt spray. Panels are tested to CSA S136 standards and can handle wind speeds exceeding 190 km/h—well above typical local storm gusts.
Are metal panels noisy during rain or hail storms?
When installed over solid sheathing with an appropriate underlayment, a metal roof is only 2–3 dB louder than an asphalt roof—essentially negligible to the human ear. Adding attic insulation or wall batt insulation further dampens sound, so you won’t notice any significant difference inside your home or business.
What is the typical cost of installing metal roofing or siding in Elora, and will it save me money in the long run?
Up-front, metal roofing generally costs 2–3 times more than asphalt shingles (averaging $10–$16 per sq. ft. installed). However, its extended life span means you avoid at least one full replacement cycle, cutting life-cycle costs by up to 40 %. Energy savings of 10–25 % on cooling, potential insurance discounts for Class 4 impact ratings, and a resale value recoup of about 86 % further offset the initial investment.
How long does installation take, and will harsh weather delay the project?
A typical 2,000 sq. ft. residential roof in Elora can be completed in 3–5 days, weather permitting. Because metal panels are fabricated in long sections, installation is faster than shingle-by-shingle systems. Our crews work year-round; panels can be installed in temperatures as low as –15 °C, though severe snow or freezing rain may cause short delays for safety.
What maintenance or upkeep do metal panels require over their service life?
Maintenance is minimal: annual visual inspections, clearing leaves from valleys and gutters, and occasional gentle washing with a hose to remove dirt or algae. Fasteners and sealants should be checked every 10–15 years; most high-end systems use concealed clips that seldom require adjustment. With proper care, the factory-applied PVDF finish carries a 30–40-year fade warranty, ensuring lasting curb appeal.
