ALUMINUM METAL ROOFING

THE PERFECT ROOFING MATERIAL FOR COASTAL INSTALLATIONS

Enjoy aluminum roofing’s benefits with a lightweight roof made from .032 aluminum. As an industry-leading aluminum roofing company, Modern Metal Roofing proudly installs high-quality, visually appealing roofs that can withstand corrosion.

Aluminum roofing doesn’t corrode like many other metals. Instead, it oxidizes, which forms a hard layer of aluminum oxide. This coating safeguards the roof from further oxidation, making aluminum roofing ideal for harsh environments like coastlines.

The Origins of Aluminum Roofing

Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the Earth’s crust, 8.23% by mass, making it the third most common of all the elements (after oxygen and silicon). While plentiful in nature, it easily bonds with other elements, meaning it is not found as a pure metal. Therefore, before it can be used, it has to be separated, which frustrated scientists and chemists for decades after its discovery in the early 1800s. Finally, in 1886 the modern method of obtaining aluminum was discovered. After that, the use and popularity of this element skyrocketed.

Once commercially available, aluminum became an integral building material, jumpstarting the aviation industry and space programs. Lightweight but incredibly durable, aluminum as a roofing material became common in the 1940s as manufacturing and coating technology evolved. Today, aluminum metal roofing has gained traction.

You can further personalize your corrosion-free roof by choosing a paint color and stunning finish. Our team can also help you find a color combination that supports your style.

Enjoy Powder Coated Protection

Although aluminum roofs offer excellent resistance against corrosion, MMR goes the extra mile with our patented powder coating finish to ensure your roof is protected from the elements. This coating prevents peeling, cracking and chipping and offers a smooth finish. The coating also provides superior protection against impact damage from large pieces of hail and color fading from UV exposure to ensure you can enjoy a vibrant roof in excellent condition for years to come. Powder coating doesn’t interfere with your roof’s natural oxidization process.

Choose a Green Roof

While asphalt shingles end up in landfills, aluminum roofs are 100% recyclable. Aluminum roofs are much more durable than traditional materials like clay and asphalt, and they are energy efficient since this element reflects solar energy, keeping your home cooler and reducing energy costs. You can also install solar panels on aluminum roofs.
