Why rock solid metal roofing for Newfoundland?
When it comes to protecting your home in Newfoundland, choosing the right roofing material is paramount. Our climate, with its heavy snow, strong winds, coastal salt air, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, demands a roofing solution built for endurance. Rock Solid Metals brings you 26-gauge metal roofing, specifically designed to meet these challenges head-on.
Built for Newfoundland’s harsh weather
Our metal roofs are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, shed snow easily, and resist rust and corrosion, making them the ideal choice for our unique environment.
Long-term durability & value
A properly installed Rock Solid metal roof can last 40–70+ years, significantly outperforming standard asphalt shingles. This means fewer replacements, fewer repairs, and better long-term value for your investment, backed by a 40-year warranty.
Low maintenance & peace of mind
Metal roofs require minimal upkeep. They won’t crack, curl, or deteriorate like other materials, providing you with confidence and peace of mind year after year with little to no maintenance.
Beyond durability: additional benefits & common questions
While the resilience of metal roofing against Newfoundland's elements is clear, many homeowners are surprised by the additional advantages it offers. Let's explore some lesser-known benefits and address common concerns about metal roofs from Rock Solid Metals.
Energy efficiency
Did you know metal roofing can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency? Our metal roofs reflect solar heat, reducing cooling costs in warmer months. Paired with proper insulation, this enhances your home's overall energy performance, keeping you comfortable year-round.
Snow shedding & ice dam prevention
Especially vital for Newfoundland winters, metal roofs naturally shed snow and ice more easily than traditional shingles. This dramatically reduces heavy snow buildup and mitigates the risk of ice dams, protecting your home's structure.
Increased home value & modern curb appeal
A metal roof from Rock Solid Metals is a premium upgrade that can significantly increase your property’s resale appeal and market value. With sleek, modern profiles and colours like Graphite Black and Graphite Grey, it elevates your home’s aesthetic, giving it a clean, architectural finish that truly stands out.
Why 26-gauge metal roofing makes a difference?
Not all metal roofing is created equal – gauge matters. At Rock Solid Metals, we use 26-gauge steel, which is thicker and stronger than lighter gauges (like 29-gauge) often used in residential applications. This provides greater dent resistance (crucial for hail), stronger performance in high winds, less oil-canning, and increased structural strength, ensuring longer-lasting performance in demanding environments like ours.
Fire & wind resistant?
Yes, metal roofs are inherently fire resistant, offering an added layer of safety for your home. They are also highly wind resistant, providing superior protection against the strong gusts common in Newfoundland.
Eco-friendly?
Absolutely. Metal roofing is often made from recycled materials and is 100% recyclable at the end of its very long lifespan, making it an environmentally conscious choice for your home.
