WHY CHOOSE US

Has a high-strength-to-low-weight ratio: ARSENAL GROUP offers an extremely low weight metal roofing system. ARSENAL's metal roofing, which weighs approximately 0.92 Lb per square foot when installed, is durable yet lightweight. This equates to half the weight of conventional roofing systems such as asphalt shingles, which weigh nearly 2lbs to 2.5lbs per square foot.

This low weight of ARSENAL Group's metal roofing endows our customers with several advantages. Firstly, the low weight of the metal allows for ARSENAL Group's roofing to be installed over existing roofs. This allows our customers to save money as it eliminates the cost of tearing down and exposing of an existing roof. Also, because the need to dispose of excess material is eliminated, it helps our customers save landfill space and protect the environment. Secondly, the low weight of the metal roof puts less weight load on a structure, eliminating the need to spend money on additional trusses. Conversely, the added weights of clay and concrete tiles, which can weigh as much as 10lbs per square foot, necessitate thousands of dollars' worth of sub-structures to support the added mass. Back..
 
Provides protection against fire: ARSENAL Group's metal roofing tiles offer additional fire protection for our customers' homes, since metal is non-combustible and does not support the spread of fire. Unlike most roofing materials, ARSENAL Group's metal roofing has fire resistant protection on the top and the bottom side of the roof. This allows for ARSENAL Group's metal roofing tiles to offer additional protection for our customers' homes because, in case of a fire, the dual protection helps preserve the integrity of the roof structure long enough to ensure a safe escape. On the other hand, most roofing materials (except for clay and concrete tiles) have fire resistant protection on only one side of the roof. This could lead to the untimely collapse of a heavy roof as the support membranes collapse during an internal fire. Back..

Is energy efficient: ARSENAL Group's metal roofing has gained acceptance as an energy efficient roofing system. At the time of installation, ARSENAL Group ensures that there is a 2.50inch air space between the strapping system used and the existing roof over which the metal roof is being installed. This 2.5inch air space acts as a self-ventilating system during hot weather by allowing for 80% of the heat to vent out, keeping the house cool. ARSENAL Group's metal roofing acts as barrier by preventing the solar rays from hitting the existing shingle roof. This helps reduce the heat transfer that is experienced by asphalt shingles, which have a high tendency of absorbing the heat from the suns rays and transferring it through the attic to the house. The reduced heat transfer helps lower air-conditioning costs.

Additionally, according to studies by the Florida Solar Commission, metal roofing can reflect up to 70% of the sun's energy, thus minimizing heat retention, which in turn minimizes the amount of heat that is transferred into homes. This results in energy savings for our customers. According to the Metal Construction Association, property owners have reported energy savings of as high as 20% and even more after installing metal roofing. In addition to this, research conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center shows that metal experiences as much as 34% less heat gain than asphalt shingles. Back..

Has longevity: Properly installed, ARSENAL Group's metal roofing can easily last for 50 years, in comparison to asphalt shingles which have a lifespan of approximately 12-15 years. Hence, with a life span that is measured in decades instead of years, ARSENAL Group's metal roof works out to be the most economical alternative in the long run. Back..

Has lower life cycle cost:  Although, ARSENAL Group's metal roofing costs somewhat more initially when compared to low-cost roofing systems such as asphalt shingles, the overall life cycle cost is lower. As a result of its durability and maintenance-free performance, ARSENAL Group's metal roofing virtually never need to be replaced, saving our customers money, while adding value to their home. Although ARSENAL's metal roofing may cost more initially, taking into consideration all the benefits of the roofing (the durability, quality, maintenance-free, energy efficiency etc) ensures that the net-present value of our metal roofing over its 50-year period is in line with the least expensive roofing systems such as the asphalt shingles.

In addition to this, in comparison to other metal roofing systems such as aluminum, ARSENAL Group's metal roofing is affordable and more durable. At equivalent thickness our galvanized steel roofing is stronger. Also aluminum can be dented more easily when compared to our galvanized steel roofs. Additionally, like many other roofing products such as asphalt shingles, wood shingles and clay tiles, roofs made of aluminum have a shorter life span because aluminum is an active metal and is highly vulnerable to oxidization, needing to be replaced regularly. This works out to be more expensive for the end user in the longer run as a result of constantly increasing material and labor costs. Back..

Is not noisy: Contrary to popular belief, ARSENAL Group's metal roofing is not noisy when it rains. In fact, studies have confirmed that a properly installed metal roof yields no significant increase in noise when compared to other roofing options.  We at MG ARSENAL Inc, take every step to ensure that, the insulation inside the home combined with the fact that our metal roofs are installed over plywood or an existing roof, all contribute to muffling the sound of rain. Back..

Has colorfastness: ARSENAL Group's metal roofing exhibits excellent colorfastness because ARSENAL Group's uses Fluoropolymer resin paint for its metal roofing. Fluoropolymers are tough resins that are comprised of fluorinated polymers, which make them highly resistant to dirt retention and environmental aging. Additionally, Fluoropolymers also have a high resistance to thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet properties, and are virtually maintenance free. Back..

Is maintenance free: ARSENAL Group's metal roofing is maintenance-free. Most other roofing applications, such as asphalt shingles, wood, and clay tiles, require repeated maintenance like the replacement of broken or split pieces, as well as pressure washing to remove algae and fungus build up. Alternatively, when it comes to ARSENAL's metal roofing, no cleaning or pressure washing is needed.
