Residential Metal Roofing Will Stand the Test of Time
Tested against the best that Mother Nature has to offer.
Here in Montana and Wyoming, we are known for our extreme weather events. We have seen tornadoes, wind gusts over 100 miles per hour, and sustained winds in the 80-mph range. We've seen lightning storms and wildfires, we have seen hail stones the size of grapefruit, heavy snow piling up faster than we can clear it, ice build ups from temperatures in the 50’s during the day and below freezing at night. The summer months can be brutally hot, while the winter months are frigid cold.
This weather is the cause of roofing materials deteriorating long before their warranties expire and may be the primary reason that you are considering Billings Metal Roofing.

THE BEST FIRE RESISTANT Roofing IS METAL
Fire Safety
Class A, B and C fire ratings, along with strong hail resistance are two benefits of metal roofing that property insurance underwriters look favorably upon. Most insurance carriers offer special discounts and lower premiums. When seconds count, metal roofing’s low weight reduces the likelihood of roof cave-ins due to a weakened structure, helping to save your home and belongings.
Metal Roofing is the Safest Choice.
Wildfire can be devastating, and no building material is perfectly safe. While Metal Roofing will prevent your home from burning, its interlocking corner design will prevent uplifts caused by “fire whirl” or high winds up to 140mph.
Stone Coated Metal Shingles are fire-safe, without sacrificing curb appeal or complex roof designs.
With several states considering legislation to compel the use of non-combustible building products in new construction and in wild fire prone areas, metal has become one of the most desirable modern building products. More and more homeowners are remodeling using fire resistant metal roofing ensuring better survivability in the event of wildfire.
For homeowners in Wildland-Urban Interface areas tax credits and federal grants are available for interested home- owners and builders alike.
When Seconds Count, the right roof can make all the difference.
Metal Roofing Systems are non-combustible and do not burn.
Metal Roofing is impervious to lightning strikes
Everybody has heard lore about metal roofing and lightning, and it is common for homeowners to ask if a metal roof might somehow attract lightning. The truth is that while metal conducts electricity it does not draw it. Lightning is looking for a pathway into the ground.
At Billings Metal Roofing our metal roofing system works from the roof center as an isolated structural component with no direct pathway to follow, therefore there is no scientific reason for lightning to seek out or favor a metal roof. Most other roofing materials are combustible and burn rapidly, metal is non-combustible and does not burn, making it the most desirable construction material available.
Lightning Strikes are the Leading Cause of Wild Fire.
Metal roofing does not deteriorate over time.
Taking on the Sun as an offender of most roofing materials.
At high altitudes, the sun is probably the most consistent offender of roofing systems. It causes expansion and contraction and with most roofing systems this means slowly they loosen and separate from the decking. The sun causes asphalt shingles to dry out, become brittle and start to crack, curl, fade, blister, and breakdown over time. On the other hand, concealed fastener metal roofing systems are completely impervious to this type of damage. The high-tech coatings, backings, and color finishes that Billings Metal Roofing contractors offer are designed to protect and maintain the integrity and the color of the panel or shingle.
At High Altitudes the suns UV rays are the most damaging.
Hail can be damaging to any roof system,
Destructive hail and metal roofs
Another reason for metal roofing’s increasing popularity is its resistance to hail. Hail can be damaging to any roof system and we have seen storms here in Montana and Wyoming that take their toll on everything in their path, and no roofing material is immune. Metal roofing offers the best protection from leaks caused by punctures in the roofing material. While it may dent from the force of the hail, typically there is no immediate concern due to an exposed roof deck. Metal roofing systems will withstand large steel balls dropped from 50-70 feet above, and even ice shot from air cannons. Metal roofing carries the best UL 2218 rating of class IV, and as a result homeowners may receive special discounts along with lowered insurance premiums. Billings Metal roofing will maintain its strength and durability even as it ages.

Metal Roofing Reduces Costly Maintenance
Standing up to high wind and tornadoes
Damage to roofing systems due to high winds is known as uplift. It is when wind gets underneath and lifts the roof up, or up and off. Not all residential metal roofing systems are installed to protect against uplift, and none of the other available roofing materials are. Three nailing asphalt shingles used to be recommended, then 4 and 5 nailing, along with other systems that just do not work. A properly installed metal roofing system completed using professional metal roofing contractors will prevent uplift. Its concealed fastener and interlocking systems don’t allow wind to get in underneath the panel or shingle from the drip edge to the roof center. Metal roofing will withstand tornado like winds thru out its service life, most other roofing materials will not.

Snow Loads and Ice Dams
Snow and ice will take its toll on just about any roofing system, eventually leading to leaks.
Snow and ice will take its toll on just about any roofing system over time. While other roofing systems hold moisture and deteriorate over time, metal roofing maintains its strength and durability keeping your home safe and dry for decades to come. Snow will slide off quickly and metal does not hold moisture or ice. The sun’s radiant heat will pass thru snow and warm the surface of your roof. With metal roofing systems this allows the snow to loosen and slide off the roof center and down. With other roofing materials the snow stays in place while shingles hold the moisture turning into ice as the temperature drop. This causes expansion, and contraction, little cracks turn into bigger cracks as the deterioration process continues, eventually leading to leaking into your home. A metal roofing system is installed with breaks (sometimes referred to as ice cutters) to control the snow loads and prevent ice damming. At Billings Metal Roofing there are custom products and accessories available to keep your metal roofing as beautiful, as it is durable for decades to come.

Metal Roofing's eco-impact on our environment.
Metal Roofing and Our Environment
Metal roofing is good for our environment in many ways. Not only can it reduce smog, it is recyclable and in most cases it is made using recycled metal. Usually 15-25%. Conventional roofing materials contribute billions of pounds of waste to landfills across America, Asphalt shingles are non-recyclable. Often times, due to its weight, metal roofing contractors will leave existing asphalt shingles on the roof, eliminating the need for tear-offs, along with the cost and eco-impact of managing the waste.
Our Stone Coated Steel shingles are manufactured using up to 25% recycled steel.
Saving Money with Energy Efficient Metal Roofing
Energy Savings are actually a bi-product or added benefit of Residential Metal Roofs
Light and Dark coatings or colors reflect UV Rays, reducing attic temperatures and lightening the load on HVAC systems. Energy Savings are a bi-product or added benefit of the special coatings or granular-coated finishes. The coatings are developed to protect the products from fading, 3M has developed granules that not only reduce fading, and lower energy cost but they also reduce smog: Check it out here. During winter months radiant heat from inside the home will escape out thru roof decking, the roof center or ridge cap and shingles, with Billings Metal Roofing systems that heat will not escape keeping your home comfortable and secure.
