FAQs
What makes your metal roofing colors fade-resistant in Hillsboro’s climate?
Our panels are coated with a Kynar 500®/PVDF resin, which forms a molecular bond that resists UV degradation, acid rain, and temperature swings common in the Willamette Valley. This premium finish maintains its original hue and gloss far longer than standard polyester or SMP coatings, even under the Pacific Northwest’s mix of intense summer sun and frequent rain.
How long can I expect the color to last before noticeable fading occurs?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, our fade-resistant colors carry a 30-year fade and chalk warranty. Independent lab tests show color change (ΔE) remains below 5 units—virtually invisible to the human eye—for at least three decades, so you can expect your roof to look almost new for the life of the warranty period.
Will the fade-resistant finish add to my energy savings?
Yes. The PVDF coatings we use are ‘cool roof’ formulations containing infrared-reflective pigments. These pigments reflect a significant portion of the sun’s heat, lowering attic temperatures by up to 20°F. Homeowners in Hillsboro often report 10–15% reductions in summer cooling costs while enjoying the benefit of long-lasting color.
Is special maintenance required to keep the colors vibrant?
Maintenance is simple: rinse the roof annually with a garden hose to remove pollen and debris. For stubborn grime, use a soft brush with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or power-washing at very high pressures—both can void the finish warranty. No repainting or sealing is needed for the life of the roof.
How does the cost of fade-resistant metal roofing compare to standard painted panels?
Fade-resistant PVDF-coated panels cost about 10–15% more upfront than panels with basic polyester finishes. However, when you factor in the elimination of repainting every 8–12 years and the energy savings from cool-roof technology, the total life-cycle cost is typically lower than conventional options.
Are color options limited with fade-resistant metal roofing?
Not at all. We offer more than 30 factory colors—including deep reds, earth tones, and modern grays—all available with the same PVDF fade-resistant technology. Custom color matching is also possible for larger projects, giving Hillsboro homeowners and builders extensive design flexibility without sacrificing durability.
