Why do Metal Roofs Need Painting?

Metal roofs can suffer damage and need to be fixed or repainted. We list a few of the things that can go wrong with metal roofs and why your metal roof may need painting.

1. Moving and warping

When exposed to certain conditions, metal roof materials can move and warp. This places stress on other components and may also lead to leaks and cracks. High temperatures and extreme weather conditions are two things that can cause movement and warping of metal roof panels.

2. Damage

Metal roofs are known to be strong, but they are not immune to damage. Things like hail, fallen branches, and other debris can damage a metal roof. But damage isn’t just caused by environmental factors—if your house has issues with its foundations or structure, causing movement, this can also lead to significant roof damage.

3. Corrosion and rust

Metal roofing is made with a protective coating to prevent against corrosion and rust. But if this coating’s seal is broken or worn down, this can lead to rapid deterioration. And if you live in a coastal area, the extra salt in the sea breeze can also lead to problems. Maintaining the integrity of your metal roof’s coating is important to prevent corrosion and rust.
