1. Durability: Metal roofs are extremely durable and can last for 50 years or more with proper maintenance. They can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, hail, and strong winds, without getting damaged.

2. Energy efficiency: Metal roofs can reflect sunlight, which reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the building, resulting in lower cooling costs during the summer months.

3. Low maintenance: Metal roofs require very little maintenance compared to other roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles. They do not rot, warp, or crack and are resistant to pests and insects.

4. Fire resistance: Metal roofs are non-combustible and can withstand fire better than other roofing materials, such as wood shingles.

5. Environmental sustainability: Metal roofing materials are made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of their useful life. They also reduce the need for frequent roof replacements, which helps to conserve natural resources.

6. Aesthetic appeal: Metal roofs come in a variety of styles and colors, allowing homeowners to choose a design that complements their home’s architectural style.

ORB’s Metal roofs are typically installed in the following steps:

1. Preparation: The old roof, if there is one, is removed and the surface is cleaned and inspected for any damage or necessary repairs.

2. Underlayment: A layer of underlayment, such as felt or synthetic material, is applied to the roof deck to provide a moisture barrier and protect against leaks.

3. Flashing: Metal flashing is installed around roof penetrations, such as vents and chimneys, to prevent water from entering the roof.

4. Installation of Metal Panels: The metal panels are then installed over the underlayment and attached to the roof deck using screws or clips. The panels are typically installed starting at the eave and working upward towards the ridge.

5. Ridge and Trim: The ridge cap and trim pieces are installed to cover the seams and provide a finished look to the roof.

6. Inspection: A final inspection is done to ensure that the roof is installed properly and meets local building codes.

Metal roofs are typically made from sheets of metal that are custom shaped and formed into the desired profile using specialized equipment. The process of making a metal roof involves precision machinery and skilled technicians who work to shape and form the metal into the desired profile. The end result is a durable and long-lasting roofing material that provides excellent protection for a home or building.

Known for their durability and longevity, metal roofs can last anywhere from 40 to over 100 years when properly installed with proper maintenance and upkeep
