INTERLOCKING PROTECTION
Ordinary roofing relies on overlapping and short-lived sealants for weather resistance. Classic Metal Roofing system shingles, however, are a completely interlocked roofing system. Our shingles lock together on all sides to form a weather tight seal on your home for unbeatable wind resistance and protection. It has been approved by building codes in some of the toughest coastal areas and tested to withstand 110 mph wind-driven rain as well as 90 Pounds per Square Foot uplift.
METAL ROOFING PROVIDES FIRE SAFETY
Brush fires, fireworks, even sparks from a chimney pose a threat to many homes. While fire-resistant products like tile and slate won’t burn, their great weight means a huge risk of a roof collapse. In fact, firefighters are trained not to enter a burning building with a tile roof because of this added danger. Country Manor Shake, however, is crafted from fireproof, lightweight aluminum (just 50 lbs per 100 square feet). This superior combination of light weight and non-combustible metal means lasting protection for your home and family.
KYNAR 500/HYLAR 5000 FINISH
The incredible Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 finish is specified by industry experts when they need the ultimate in lasting exterior building products. This finish is unmatched for resistance to the fading, peeling, curling, and cracking that plague other materials. More than an ordinary paint, this is a tight molecular bond that holds the color true and protected for decades. The Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 finish is one of the reasons that all of our Classic Metal Products are protected by such a strong warranty.
HI-R HEAT BARRIER COATING
All of our Classic Metal Roofing system shingles are coated with HI-R heat reflective paint, which helps to create a cooler, more energy-efficient home due to the special reflective pigments embedded in the finish. Developed for military stealth technologies, the complex chemical structure of these pigments reflects away the infrared portion of the sun’s rays most responsible for heat buildup. So, while maintaining color consistency and fade protection, HI-R Heat Barrier Technology provides all the advantages of greater reflectance, without sacrificing color choices. This HI-R coating, combined with the inherent energy efficiency of metal roofing, regularly saves homeowners 20-30% on their heating bills by keeping their attic cooler. Especially if your heating and cooling system are located in your attic, these roofs can offer substantial energy savings that you will realize for the many decades this roof is on your home.
SUSTAINABILITY
Encouraging environmental responsibility has always been high on Athens Roofing’s priority list. With Classic Metal Roofing, you will be installing a roof with a serious Green pedigree. Along with the features mentioned above, the Classic aluminum products are all made from recycled metal stock. In many cases, the metal used to manufacture your new contains nearly 100% post-consumer recycled material. That means no new material is mined to produce your roof. We diligently collect and recycle all of the scrap material generated by our jobs and of course, at the end of its life, your roof can be completely recycled. The greenest element of all is the simple fact that you are investing in a lifetime roofing system that does not need to be torn off and replaced every 15 years. The long-term benefits in energy efficiency, the sustainability of the material, and the fact you will never again need to re-roof your home make Classic Metal Roofing systems one of the greenest roofs on the market.
