Installing the Metal Roofing Video

Kevin Corcoran from Englert Roofing systems explains to Bob benefits of the company’s environmentally friendly (56 percent recycled material), maintenance free, metal roofing product. The product applied to the project house is made of carbonized steel and carries a 50-year warranty. The exterior is bonded with aluminum and zinc then coated with a layer of acrylic. The cost is generally less than stone or tile roofs, but higher than standard shingles. Mike Worsky and Jeff Smith from Al Smith Gutters demonstrate the metal cutting and crimping machinery brought to the job site. The portable roll former transforms a flat roll of steel to the standing seam panel in the proportion on the job site. Metal roofing is now being widely distributed across the US especially in areas where wildfires are an issue as metal roofs are much harder to light and may protect your home.
