Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Aren't metal roofs noisy?
A: No. The stone coated steel design doesn't resemble the corrugated tin roofs from the past. The water droplets (and even hail) are no match for the strength and high-tech design of a DECRA roof.

Q: Will I be able to walk on a steel roof once it is installed?
A: Absolutely. DECRA roofs are designed to withstand the weight of people walking on them. The panels are made of 26-gauge steel capable of withstanding a great deal of force.

Q: Is a metal roof hotter in the summer and colder in the winter?
A: No. Many customers report a reduction in energy costs during summer and winter months. Also, a DECRA roof can be installed over an existing roof, which creates even more insulation from temperature extremes.

Q: Is a DECRA Roofing System more expensive?
A: Like most products you buy, "you get what you pay for." A DECRA roof offers more for your money. It's no bargain to put two roofs on your house because the first one was "cheaper" and subsequently failed. A DECRA roof can last a lifetime. DECRA is also quite durable because the aluminium-zinc alloy coated steel enhances the superior weathering and corrosion resistance of each roofing panel. You will also increase the value of your home or commercial property since the warranty is transferable and a selling point for both buyers and tenants. That's why many say, "It's the last roof you will ever have to buy."
