Q. I know it’s time for a new roof, but a roofer I spoke to said winter isn’t a good time to replace mine because it won’t “stay down.” Is that true?
A. Yes – in regard to asphalt shingles. They rely on a thin layer of glue to keep rows stuck to one another and require exposure to a certain temperature for the glue to activate. This is a problem in the winter and may in fact void a warranty. Metal roofs however, besides being better looking, longer lasting, and much greener, don’t rely on a glue to stay on the roof but are mechanically fastened. So they can be installed at any time without compromising their performance or warranty coverage. Visit our website for a useful booklet of roofing facts and many photos of our beautiful range of metal roofs - all of which can be installed year round.
