Q1. What is Stone Coated Steel Roofing and how is it similar to and different from standard metal roofs?
A1: Stone Coated Steel Roofing is a roof that has excellent performance properties and utilizes the strength of galvanized steel together with the beautiful appearance of traditional roofing tile. It achieves its appearance by the application of natural stone chips to the surface, that are bonded with acrylic polymer. These roofs boast better aesthetics than plain metal roofs, more sound insulation because of their weight and greater resistance to corrosion than traditional metals. ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL manufactures and sells top quality stone coated steel shingles that are suitable for the weather conditions in India.
Q2. What is the lifespan of a stone coated steel roofing system in comparison to other roofs?
A2: Stone Coated Steel Roofing has a lifespan of typically 40 to 50 years. That is much longer than asphalt shingle or clay tile roofing systems. Stone Coated Steel Roofing is made of a corrosion-resistant steel core and is made with stone granules to protect from UV rays. Stone Coated Steel Roofing can withstand extreme heat, heavy monsoons, hail storms, and heavy snow! ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL ONLY installs roof systems with manufacturer warranties, that are fully engineered to last.
Q3. Does Stone-Coated Steel Roofing work well for coastal areas?
A3: Yes, this is one of the best roofing products available for coastal areas. The stone coating provides the ultimate layer of protection against corrosion, while the base profile of steel has inherent resistance to salt-laden air and high humidity. ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL recommends stone-coated steel shed roofing for seaside homes, resorts and commercial buildings due to its corrosion resistant properties and low-maintenance.
Q4. Will Stone Coated Steel Roofing make my home hotter in summer?
A4: No, as a matter of fact the opposite is true. These roofs do reflect radiant heat and maintain thermal balance. Many systems come with ventilation layers as well as a reflective coating that can lower indoor temperatures. ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL also offers energy efficient installation methods to ensure your building is even cooler, thus decreasing your AC load.
Q5. Can Stone Coated Steel Roofing protect against hail storms or bucket loads of rain?
A5: Definitely yes, having a very strong steel core, is impact-resistant. The stone coating also mitigates how loud it is, dampening our ear-to-roof noise to rain, which tends to be problematic with a standard metal roof. Stone coated steel systems are Class 4 impact-rated roofs. This means they are capable of withstanding impacts such as hail, flying debris, and heavy rain! ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL has been able to install these systems in India’s most severe storm locations.
Q6. What is the weight and structure comparison of rubbing stone coated steel roofing and clay tiles?
A6: In weight measures, stone coated steel roofing is much lighter than clay tiles, making for quicker, easier and less stress on the building’s structural requirements. While clay tiles are also quite brittle and would be easy to break, stone coated steel roofs are durable, interlocking and wind-resistant because of their design. ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL will endorse and specify the use of cracking stone coated steel roofs for both new constructions and roof-over applications where a load is going to be an issue.
Q7. Are there aesthetic choices available with Stone Coated Steel Roofing?
A7: Yes, all systems are offered in many profiles, textures and colours that mimic the look of clay tiles, wood shakes and even conventional shingles. ASHBURY INTERNATIONAL offers custom style consultations to assist clients with matching their stylistic theme, whether it’s modern, colonial, or rustic.
