Comp & Frame Process

Metal Roofs
Metal Roofs
The popularity of metal roofs has increased in regions affected by the wildfires in 2003 and 2007. Metal roofs are highly effective in fire-prone areas as they are virtually impervious to ignition from passing fires. Their durability makes them a long-lasting option, with varying gauges available—the thicker the gauge, the sturdier the roof. Once installed, these metal roofs cover all eaves, leaving no wood exposed. The material used for these roofs is typically steel, available in different colors, providing robustness and longevity.
Standing Seam Metal
Standing Seam metal roofing are metal sheets that have been formed into a wave-like pattern. The sheets are typically made of steel or aluminum, and are often coated with zinc or a zinc-aluminum alloy for increased resistance to corrosion.
