Metal Roofing in the New Era of Post Frame Home Design
Lester Buildings patented a new Eclipse Roof System that brings metal roofing into a new era. The Eclipse transcends all other options for both metal and shingle roofs. This new roofing design brings post frame construction into the new millennia.
Eclipse Roof System offers several benefits. The metal roofing looks good and is functional and strong. The design and materials insure exceptional value over time. In the blog “The case for metal roofing,” Lester Buildings tells us why the Eclipse roof is best.
Modern Roofing
More businesses and homeowners are choosing metal roofs over shingles. Post frame construction allows for large spans. The durable Eclipse Roof System works very well. Its 36-inch-wide panels install faster than the typical standing seam metal roofing panel. It uses one-third to one-half the metal panels and no roofing deck. This saves time and money, resulting in the best roof for your budget and needs.
Eclipse Manufacturer Benefits
The team at Lester Buildings explains the benefits of the Eclipse upgrade. Longevity, weather resistance, environmental friendliness, property re-sale, insurance benefits, and reduced maintenance are among them. Here are the major points from Lester’s commentary.
- Longevity: A metal roof will last a lifetime. It will far outlast asphalt roofing shingles (over 50 years to 12-17 years).
- Weather resistance: Metal roofing is more durable, especially for the weather patterns along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. It withstands wind, driving rain, snow load, hail, ice, and extreme temperatures.
- Good for environment: Metal is recyclable.
- Property re-sale improvements: The upfront expenses of installing an Eclipse metal roof improve property values 1 to 6 percent.
- Insurance rates: Homeowner’s and business insurance rates are usually lower because metal roofing is fire and damage resistant.
- Reduced maintenance: A high-quality metal roof requires little maintenance. These sleek metal roofs always perform if kept free of debris and branches.
