FAQ

Metal roofs offer a combination of benefits that clearly set them apart from asphalt shingle roofs:

Exceptional durability and strength: A metal roof can last over 50 years, whereas asphalt shingles typically need to be replaced after 12 to 15 years. It effectively withstands hail, high winds, corrosion, mold, and extreme weather conditions, in addition to offering excellent fire resistance.

Energy efficiency: Thanks to their ability to reflect sunlight, metal roofs help reduce the heat absorbed by the home, which can help lower air conditioning costs.

Low maintenance: This type of roof requires very little maintenance. Metal does not crack, warp, or rot, and is naturally resistant to fungi and deterioration, making it a durable and practical solution.

Eco-friendly choice: Metal is a fully recyclable material. It is therefore a more eco-friendly option than many conventional roofing materials, which often end up in landfills at the end of their lifespan.

Yes. We install metal roofs throughout Quebec, regardless of your location. Our team can also handle projects in Ontario, depending on the specific requirements.

Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not particularly noisy.

The noise level depends mainly on the quality of the installation, the insulation, and the materials used. With a good underlayment and adequate insulation, the noise from rain or hail is significantly reduced. Certain types of metal roofing materials and panels are designed to improve sound absorption, offering comfort comparable to that of traditional roofs.

We offer a 10-year warranty on our installations. This warranty gives you peace of mind and demonstrates our commitment to the quality and durability of our work. As for the roofing material, it is covered by a 50-year transferable warranty.

No. Metal roofs require very little maintenance compared to traditional roofs.

Thanks to their natural resistance to cracking, mold, and leaks, they maintain their performance with minimal intervention. An inspection once or twice a year is generally sufficient to check the overall condition and remove debris.

Yes. Armadura^TM roofs are specially designed to meet the demands of Quebec’s climate. They offer excellent resistance to heavy rain and snowfall, high winds, and hail.

Their robust design also helps minimize the risks of rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in extreme weather conditions.

G90 galvanized steel is steel coated with a protective layer of zinc applied through hot-dip galvanization. This process involves immersing the steel in a bath of molten zinc to create an effective protective barrier against corrosion.

The G90 designation indicates the amount of zinc applied: approximately 0.90 oz of zinc per square foot, distributed over both sides of the steel. This level of galvanization provides long-lasting protection, particularly suited for metal roofs exposed to the elements.

Yes. Armadura^TM roofing is designed to offer high resistance to rust and corrosion. Thanks to galvanized steel and a high-performance paint coating applied to each panel, it provides enhanced protection against the elements, such as rain, snow, moisture, and hail, which often cause damage to traditional roofing materials.
