Commercial Metal Roofing and Wall Panels

    Providing both appealing aesthetics and unparalleled durability, metal has long served as the preferred roofing and siding material for architects and commercial property owners. The combination of affordability, performance, and versatility makes metal panels an ideal choice for any commercial project.

    Why Choose Metal?

    Metal roofing offers an attractive alternative to other commonly used materials. While other options may have lower upfront costs, they often have much shorter life expectancy and require frequent maintenance. Asphalt shingles, for instance, are vulnerable to shrinking, eroding, and cracking, especially in regions of the country where they’re exposed to extreme weather conditions.

    Capable of lasting 60 or more years with minimal maintenance or repairs, metal roofing can withstand wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour and will not corrode or crack due to seasonal weather. A metal roof also provides both fire resistance and energy efficiency, reducing cooling costs by 10-25%.

    Standing Seam and Concealed Fastener Wall Systems

    Standing seam roof systems consist of a series of panels that are connected by raised seams (or vertical legs) above the flat surface. Rather than sitting flush against the roof deck, the seams rise between 1 to 3 inches above the surface and allow the panels to snap together or mechanically interlock without exposed, or visible, fasteners. In addition to providing a sleek, modern look, standing seam systems allow panels to expand and contract with changing temperatures, helping them to last longer and cause less wear and tear on the roof deck.

    Concealed fastener wall panels are installed with clips and/or fasteners that are placed beneath the wall panels, so they are hidden from view.

    Maxima

    With an opportunity to choose from three distinct Maxima profiles: Maxima, Maxima 1.5 and Maxima ADV, McElroy’s Maxima family of products represents the industry’s broadest selection of vertical leg standing seam systems. In order to meet the varying needs of architects and contractors, each offers unique performance characteristics that enable users to match a Maxima panel to specific aesthetic and performance specifications.

    138T & 238T

    While standing seam roofing systems have been used for generations, 138T and 238T panels feature technological advances in roofing that set a new standard for standing seam performance. 138T and 238T systems are classified as symmetrical standing seam systems and offer many advantages including patented recover solutions featuring the industry's best method to recover existing metal or shingle roofs. 138T and 238T panels are mechanically seamed along with the seam caps.

    Recover and Retrofit Systems

    For commercial property owners confronted with aging or deteriorating roofs, a complete tear-off and replacement may not be an economical or viable long-term solution. This is especially true for roofs with 1/4:12 slope or greater with conventional membranes that require ongoing maintenance due to moisture damage and UV degradation. Owners of 30-40 year old pre-engineered buildings also benefit greatly from a new roof that installs directly over existing metal panels. Fortunately, recover and retrofit systems like metal-over-metal or metal-over-shingles can provide the benefits of a standing seam metal roof without the hassle of replacing the roof entirely. Our systems can be adapted to the existing roof’s structural support system to provide long-term life expectancy and reduced life-cycle costs while also enhancing the property’s curb appeal.

    138T Shingle Recover

    McElroy Metal’s 138T Shingle Recover System provides a long-term and economical solution for commercial building owners and homeowners. This innovative system installs directly over existing shingles and the patented clips create an energy saving Above Sheathing Ventilation (ASV) airspace between the existing roof and new 138T roof.

    Exposed Fastener Panel Options

    Exposed fastened metal roof and wall panels represent the most economical option for commercial projects.  These systems consist of overlapping panels that are fastened directly to the roof deck or wall framing through the face of the metal. They are called “exposed” because the fastener head remains visible once installed. Exposed fastener panels are typically wider than standing seam panels, meaning that fewer panels (and less labor) will be needed to cover the roof or standing wall area.

    Metal roofing actually reflects much of the sun’s heat and energy. While conventional shingles absorb much of the sun’s heat, metal roofing can actually reduce cooling energy costs by as much as 20%. That’s because the coating used on modern metal roof panels incorporates special pigments that reflect the sun’s energy and release heat that is absorbed throughout the day.

    The odds of a lightning strike hitting a metal roof are the same as any other roof, regardless of material. In the event that there is a lightning strike, however, metal roofing will not ignite and catch fire since it is not combustible.
