Q: Is this metal roof noisy?
A: Our installed roof is comprised of metal panels, over lapped and fastened down to either a solid  wooden deck, partially filled in skip sheathing or 2x2 battens, all of which also include a layer of underlayment, making our roof no noisier than any other roof during inclement weather.

Q: How does metal roofing affect lightning?
A: Lightning consideration is not a building code requirement. Lightning is usually attracted to the highest object, not building materials.

Q: How does hail affect this metal roof?
A: These roofing panels have been tested to and met the UL 2218 testing protocol which means that the roof function was not compromised and the paint finish was not cracked when 2" steel balls were dropped from a height of 20 feet several times over.

Q: How does fire affect this metal roof?
A: These roofing panels have been tested in accordance with the following test standards: ASTM E 108-95, UBC Standard 15-2(1997), UL 790(1997), CAN S107 and received an overall non-combustible rating.

Q: How does this metal roof affect the growth of moss?
A: The smooth surface of our roofing panels inhibits the growth of moss and is virtually self-cleaning.

Q: Can this metal roofing be walked on?
A: Yes, our roofing panels can be walked on with care and attention to safety at all times. And of course, appropriate foot-wear should be worn during such endeavors.

Q: What are the typical metal roofing prices or metal roofing cost to install?
A: The Ironwood Shake profile is our most economical option, which is comparable to good quality cedar shakes. Our European Tile and Heavy Shake profiles are more high-end products that are priced competitively with equivalent materials found on the market today.

Q: How long does this type of metal roofing last?
A: Metal roofing has been known to perform for up to 100 years. The metal produced today has been engineered to withstand severe weather conditions and we believe it will outlast our lifetime warranty.

Q: What is the length of warranty for this metal roof?
A: We offer a limited lifetime transferable warranty.

Q: What is the metal roof paint finish?
A: Our products have one of three quality, baked-on, highly durable paint finishes. Depending on which profile you choose, it will be one of the following:
P.V.D.F. - the highest quality metal paint finish available, extensively tested for its durability.
HDP (High Durable Polyester) - an extensively tested and well known finish.
SMP (Silicon Modified Polyester) - an extensively tested and well known finish.

Q: Will this metal roofing become rusted?
A: These roofing panels are made from metal that has been specially treated with a high quality protective coating which is applied during the roll forming process, just before the paint finish is applied in order to protect the metal from oxidization.

Q: Is weight a factor for this metal roof panel?
A: These roofing panels are exceptionally lightweight so there is no need for costly truss reinforcement or extra bracing.

Q: How to install metal roofing – installing metal roofing myself vs an authorized Forever Roof metal roofing installer?
A: We do not recommend installing the roof yourself. There would be no installation warranty against leaks and do not provide a product warranty unless installed by our installers. We go to great lengths to provide a quality product and feel it should be installed with the same level of care and experience.
