Boral Steel stone coated metal roofing provides more value and benefits than any other roofing material, yet it is made to resemble other materials, so you get a beautiful roof with many more advantages. At only 1.4 lbs. per square foot, a Boral Steel stone coated roofing system is considered the lightest and strongest roofing system in the world. And with these 2 best roofing system attributes it is no wonder they made it the best looking too!

Boral Steel's stone coated metal roofing is fire safe. Unlike most other roofing systems, stone coated steel will not allow flying hot burning embers to get between the deck and roof panels, and steel does not burn. Few images are more dramatic than the one on the right where entire neighborhoods are almost wiped out with only select homes still standing—homes with stone coated steel roofs.

Environmental concerns play a big part in today’s home improvements. LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Energy Star qualification are given for using eco-friendly, or “green,” products and practices. By using over 30% recycled materials and other sustainable products, Boral Steel's stone coated metal roofing systems qualify for both. In addition, the steel is 100% recyclable, and packaging and other materials are purchased from vendors who recycle. The asphalt alternative is an environmental disaster - just research how many asphalt shingles are in the ground and how many go into our landfills yearly.

Heat transfer is another very important factor. Independent testing has shown that a stone coated roofing system can reduce heat transfer by as much as 45% over conventional asphalt roofing. There are two factors for this huge difference. The Boral roofing systems have air space between the roofing deck and the stone coated roofing panel. The system is designed as a cool roofing system, allowing air to push the heat, therefore not allowing heat transfer like a hot asphalt roof which lays flat against the roofing deck. More air space between the deck and panel keeps the attic area much cooler, thereby reducing the need for air conditioning. And secondly, Boral Steel also uses chipped granite and natural stone which by nature is very reflective, and also offers certain colors that are more reflective than others.

By investing in a superior roof now, when the economy improves and you want to sell, you’ll be one step ahead of everyone else. With its unbeatable return on investment, longevity, energy efficiency and the fact that it is eco-friendly, choosing a stone coated steel roofing system is the best choice. You may even qualify for insurance benefits with lower premiums. Talk to your insurance provider to see what they offer.
