Why Steel?

Built for Canadian weather. Better for the planet.

From Pacific rain to prairie hail to Maritime wind, steel outperforms asphalt in every Canadian climate zone.

🛡️

Lasts 50+ Years

A quality steel roof typically outlives two to three asphalt roofs, with warranties commonly running 40–50 years on premium coatings.

❄️

Sheds Snow & Ice

Smooth steel surfaces shed snow loads that crush other materials — a major advantage in Quebec, the Prairies, and the North.

♻️

Genuinely Recyclable

Steel roofing can contain high recycled content and is 100% recyclable at end of life — unlike the ~1.25 million tonnes of asphalt shingles Canada landfills.

🔥

Fire & Hail Rated

Class A fire ratings for wildfire zones and Class 4 impact ratings that can lower insurance premiums in hail-prone Alberta and Saskatchewan.

☀️

Energy Efficient

Reflective "cool roof" finishes can cut summer cooling costs by up to 25%, and standing seam is the ideal solar-panel mounting platform.

💰

Strong Resale Value

Metal roofs typically recoup a large share of their cost at resale and are a visible selling feature for energy-conscious buyers.
