wind resistant roofing from Classic Metal Roofing Systems

Strong winds are prevalent everywhere, but here in Kentucky, we also receive those strong winds as the residual of hurricanes and other storms. In the past year, we’ve seen winds up to 85 mph! So, how do you protect your home from the damages that high winds cause?  Wind resistant roofing in the form of our interlocking metal roofing panels can withstand even hurricane strength winds.

Conventional Roofing: Asphalt Shingles and Wind Damage

Traditional roofing materials depend upon three things to hold them tight in high winds:

  1. Their rigidity, which diminishes with age.
  2. Their weight and gravity.
  3. Failure-prone sealants.

As we see time and time again, asphalt shingles more than a couple of years old do not hold up to punishing winds.

Traditional shingles overlap and don’t have anything to hold them in place. Heat and cold temperatures easily compromise asphalt shingles. Those shingle tabs can’t hold up to wind, rain, hail, or snow as they age.

A Different Approach: Classic Wind Resistant Roofing

The interlocking nature of metal roofing makes it an ideal system that has panels which interlock on all sides and edges.

Our exclusive Classic Metal Roofing Systems deliver rigidity. Most roofing materials lose wind resistance with age as they become more brittle, and as sealants begin to dry out and fail. Metal roofs, though, resist this kind of degradation with weather exposure and instead maintain their wind resistance even as they age.

Your metal roof will be just as wind resistant 30 years from now as when it’s new.

Because of the interlocks between our panels, air can pass between them; this means that the roof covering alone does not bear the entire brunt of the uplift pressures on the “back” side of the roof.
