A metal roof does not increase the warmth inside a home; however, it does help keep it cooler during the summer months. This is because metal has low thermal mass and, thanks to the infrared (IR) reflective pigments used in modern finishes, it exhibits high reflectivity and emissivity.

The owner of this Victorian style home says it best: “I know I’ll leave this house to my kids, and I want it to be solid for years to come.” If you want a durable roofing solution to enhance your home’s beauty, metal is the choice!
The owners of Spring Creek Ranch chose metal to top 15 new buildings added to their resort property in the spring of 2022. Metal provided the superior protection needed in the diverse climates of Jackson Hole.
This California historical society wanted a new energy-efficient, durable roof made from recycled materials that matched the building’s existing style. Metal roofing was the perfect solution, staying true to the property’s elegant history, and adding modern energy saving and safety standards.

The investigation of roof damage from high-wind events has shown that failure often initiates at the corners and/or edges of metal roofing. To address this situation, MCA has embarked on developing a test method standard that could be used to test the pullout strength of variations to edge perimeter details. A task group has developed a draft of the test method, which has been reviewed by several testing laboratories.
The next steps will be to test edge metal at different laboratories to determine if the test method is sound and repeatable among the laboratories. After testing and validation has been completed, the task group will create an industry guide and bring it to market. MCA will then pursue the ANSI standard process to create an industry standard. This is similar to the track that SPRI took for the development of their ANSI/SPRI ES-1 Standard.
