Metal roofing continues to grow in popularity due to its long lifespan and resistance to “lifts and leaks” – an important consideration for our Atlantic Canadian climate.
But it’s not just sheer durability that makes metal such a widespread choice. Metal roofing has come a long way from its traditional barn-covering roots. Today, metal roofing products come in a wide variety of colour choices and profiles. Its sleek appearance adds the perfect aesthetic to a modern home design.
If your home needs a new roof, a metal roof is also a great way to give your home a more contemporary curb appeal.
We order all our metal roofing products from Kennedy Metals Inc. – a locally owned and operated Island company that manufactures superior roofing products with a 40-year paint and finish warranty. Metal samples are available upon request.
There are a number of important steps involved in installing and protecting your shingle roof. These are:
- Eave protection – A sealing membrane above your eaves to prevent leaks from ice damming.
- Synthetic underlay – A second layer of protection against wind-driven rain.
- Starter strip – Another protective measure against shingle lift and water infiltration.
- Shingles – IKO’s Dynasty shingle’s “Armourzone” increases your roof’s resistance to wind.
- Tar adhesion – Tar is applied to the underside of all shingles for further adhesion.
- Ridge venting – Installed whenever required to regulate your attic temperature and air flow.
- Hip & Ridge Cap – Essential peak protection that gives your roof a finished look.
We install all our shingle roofs according to the manufacturer’s specifications, which means IKO’s limited warranty remains in effect – even if you lose our number!
IKO Dynasty shingles come in a beautiful array of colour options to choose from. Colour samples available upon request.
