Insulated metal roofs at the forefront of building efficiency


Jeff Alexander | March 22, 2017

Advances in building products have enabled a level of energy efficiency and durability that previously wasn’t possible. With regard to construction costs, project aesthetics, product durability, and sustainability—for both existing projects and retrofits—insulated metal roofs provide many benefits.

These roofs allow a significant reduction in operation and maintenance costs for commercial and industrial projects. With a design life of several decades, insulated metal roofs are at the forefront of building durability and fire safety. These roof systems allow exceptional moisture and water vapor control, protecting projects from even the harshest elements. Continuous insulation helps keep heating and cooling costs down, while promoting indoor comfort for occupants throughout the year.

Durable Valspar coatings keep metal roofs pristine by protecting metal from the elements. Our high-performance coatings are field tested and offer long warranties. Valspar has a lively color palette that brings projects to life.
