In terms of weight, metal is a lightweight substrate. Metal weighs about 40 to 120 pounds per square as opposed to asphalt /fiberglass shingles at 210 to 350 pounds per square, wood shingles/shakes at 200 to 300 pounds per square (400 to 600 pounds per square when wet), and clay/cement tiles that weight 800 to 1,000 pounds per square. Metal offers a light roof for pre-owned homes with structural weakness. In new construction, metal offers savings in the structural design of a home because of its light weight.

Maintenance
Report
In most cases, washing the painted surface with a water hose will remove most dirt and accumulated deposits. For stubborn dirt you can typically use a mild detergent or a house hold ammonia product. In all cases, test a small unobtrusive area for color-fastness before cleaning large areas. With a little care and attention during service, prepainted Galvalume sheet will provide an extended service life.

What is a square of panels? A. A square is an area of 100 square feet. This, however, is not coverage square feet. Many years ago, the industry elected to calculate these 100 square feet on the total out-to-out width of the panel. For example, a 3' coverage, screw-down panel is figured to be 3.19 feet wide.
