When compared to other roofing materials, including asphalt, metal is more durable and lasts longer. When correctly installed, your metal roof might not need re-roofing for the longest time.

Experienced roofers like in Urbandale, Residential Roofing, advise that when properly installed, your new metal roof can last about 2-3 times longer than other roofs such as asphalt and can have a lifespan of about 50-60 years.

Factors Affecting Your New Metal Roof’s Lifespan

Although a new metal roof can last for over ten to twenty years or more, there are certain factors to consider to help it last as long as you’d want. These factors include:

1. Protecting The Paint on Your Roof During Installation

While there are many ways to help increase the lifespan of your new metal roof, a painted finish is the best option to boost the roof’s lifespan. Do this by using standing seam metal panels coated with Kynar 500.

Kynar 500 is a robust resin-based coating you can use to create long-life coatings for your new and old metal roofs. The coated paint layer also increases the lifespan of metal siding, window frames, aluminized and galvanized steel or door frames.

To protect and improve the lifespan of your new metal roof, apply Kynar 500 to your metal roof panels through a process known as patented.  When done perfectly, the coating protects your roof from wear and tear hence boosting its longevity.

Besides boosting your roof’s lifespan, Kynar 500 also prevents your roof paint color from fading regardless of the current weather condition. It also fosters your roof’s aesthetic values based on the type of metals used for your roof.

Some of the considerations to embrace for Kynar 500 to help increase your new metal roof’s lifespan are:

  • Protecting The Kynar Finish Paint During Installation

For Kynar 500 to perfectly boost your metal roof’s lifespan, there should be no scratches or damages during and at the end of the roofing process.

Installation damages and scratches leave your metal roof panels exposed to destructive elements such as rust and moisture. To avoid this, ensure the roof is cleaned at the end of every installation phase until the process is complete.

On top of that, your roofers should not leave cuts and shaving on the roof because they contribute to rusting and other forms of corrosion, which negatively affect the roof’s lifespan.

  • Inspecting The Finish Paint Warranty, Your Kynar 500 Comes With

Usually, there are two types of warranties you’ll get for your Kynar 500. There are craft (Workmanship) and roofing contractor warranties. Based on your roofing budget and property needs, understand artistry paint finish warranty varies between contractors, so does your Kynar 500 warrant.

Therefore, choose Kynar 500 that comes with a new standing roof paint warranty of about 30 years to ensure once painted on your roof, you’ll be able to claim for changes when unexpected destruction happens.

2. Weather Conditions

Regardless of the type of metal, your new metal roof has, extreme weather conditions, including heavy rains and strong winds or snowfall, affect its lifespan. Strong winds loosen tiles which leaves the top highly vulnerable to leaks and other types of damages.

On the other hand, snowfalls and melting expand and contract your roof, which can cause severe leaks. As such, the amount of harsh weather conditions in your area impacts the lifespan of your metal roof, meaning when not protected, your roof won’t last long as you’d want.

While extreme weather conditions are out of your control, some of the things you can do to help boost the roof’s lifespan regardless of the bad weather condition include:

  • Inspecting Trims and Flashing After a Snowstorm

Your roof trim and flashing prevent the passage of water into water management channels as a way of extreme weather-resistant barriers.

  • Inspecting Loose Fasteners

Usually, there are three types of roof fasteners, including exposed, concealed adhesives, and concealed rivets. They are elements you use to firmly fix and install your roof hence offering it an ability to withstand extreme weather condition destruction.

As such, when storms strike, ensure you’ve correctly inspected if all the fasteners are firmly fitted as a way of boosting the roof’s lifespan.

3. Regular Maintenances and Inspections

Like other parts of your house, your roof demands regular maintenance. Regular inspection helps ensure your new roof is perfectly installed, thus preventing any flaws that reduce its lifespan.

To find more information on the subject follows:

Avoid exposing your roof to power–washing shingles considering they always loosen the granules of your Kynar coating coat, which reduces its effectiveness to help the top last long.
