From the first time I called for information on a metal roof, Tony was exceptionally prompt and professional. Our project was started on time and despite some terrible weather, it was finished on time. The team installing the roof was also very professional, kept the area clean and were very hard working. The roof looks fantastic. We a very pleased with the finished product. I would definitely recommend this company. Thanks Tony.

I contacted several companies about installing a metal roof and getting rid of my shingle roof. I was impressed with how quickly AMT responded and they asked for my information and needs and got a quote prepared very quickly for me. The process to go from quote to roof replacement was also very easy. Tony communicated very clear timeline about how long to order materials and have everything done. The materials arrived quicker than expected and the replacement was scheduled quickly and even better was able to be done while I was away on a weekend trip so nothing about it disrupted my day!! It looks great and the colour is a fantastic match to the colour of my existing garage metal roof. I also love that they take e-transfer payments so the payment process was also super simple. The work was done very neatly, all waste was in the bin and the bin was removed quickly too. Very happy with this company.

I highly recommend AMT Roofing. Tony was very quick in providing a quote and the time to complete the job was quicker than originally estimated. He was very friendly and professional in answering all our questions. His team was super friendly, professional and did a great job cleaning up once the job was complete.

I highly recommend AMT. Tony was extremely fast in responding to my initial questions, coming out to do an estimate (and we live out of town) and the work started exactly when he said it would. The roofers were super friendly, hard working, and efficient and they finished the job faster than was originally estimated. The finished product is exactly what we hoped for and they left our property spotless when they left. You will not be disappointed hiring Tony and his team.

Excellent service and communication. Tony and his team were amazing from start to finish. Turn around time was very quick too. We had three structures to do and they finished them all in five days. My husband and I are extremely happy with the finished result. We highly recommend this company.

After carefully evaluating different options , we selected ATM to install a new metal roof and replaced the older cedar roof. We couldn't be happier with choice. Our new roof looks great in style and our house looks more beautiful. Tony, the manager is very knowledgeable and responsive to answer all of our questions. The installation went smoothly and ahead of the schedule. The entire installation team showed very high level of experience and great professionalism. They were very polite, organized and cleaned up thoroughly each day and after the final project. We are very happy with AMT's work and would recommend to anyone who need a durable and beautiful new roof !

What Is Roof Pitch?

The pitch of a roof is generally determined by calculating how much the roof rises vertically over the span of 12 horizontal feet. (For example: a pitch measurement of 0.5:12 would mean that for every 12 feet horizontally, the height would increase by 2 feet – this would be considered low pitch.) Depending on the pitch of a roof, different roofing materials are recommended.

Low Pitched Roof

Low pitched roofs are a popular choice for contemporary house design and commercial buildings. However, as mentioned before, low slopes can create potential problems for your Edmonton home if you do not choose the appropriate roofing materials or do not have them installed properly.

The main concern with low slope roofs is reduced drainage. Water is far more likely to pool on the roof top, which can lead to serious problems, such as roof leaks. In colder climates, like what we experience here in the Edmonton area, the freeze-thaw cycle of pooled water is particularly concerning for flat roofs.

Temperature changes can cause roofing materials to shrink or expand, creating gaps between material. Water is far more likely to seep between any small crack or gap because of the low slope and when that water freezes it also expands, causing potentially irreparable damage.

Water infiltration can lead to cosmetic and structural damage of your house, as well as mold and mildew growth, which can have serious health implications for you and your family.

The Standing Seam System

The good news is that despite the concerns that come with low slope roofs, there are roofing materials specifically designed to mitigate these issues.
The Standing Seam metal roofing system offered by AMT Metal Roofing is the perfect solution to the common problems of flat roofs for residential and commercial buildings in Edmonton and surrounding areas.

Features

Architectural
mechanical seam

The Standing Seam system is unique in its architectural profile. Standing seam panels perfectly compliment the modern aesthetic of flat roof homes and commercial buildings.

The metal panels are available with either self-locking or mechanical-locking seams.

Structural
mechanical seam

Self-locking (also known as snap locking) panels are easily joined together without the need for mechanical seaming.

Seams on mechanically locking panels are usually double folded, thus providing the best protection against water penetration. These panels utilize a hidden clipping system and can be used in different widths to create a unique roofing pattern.

Benefits

With a Standing Seam metal roofing system, you can rest assured that your home or business will be fully protected from the top, down. The many benefits of standing seam panels effectively mitigate the potential concerns that come with low slope roofs, making it the superior roofing material option. Your home or business is sure to look amazing and be fully protected with a Standing Seam metal roofing system.

DurabilityStan Plakhtiy2022-07-29T21:48:38+00:00

Durability

The Standing Seam metal roofing system is known for its superior durability. It is a maintenance free roofing option that is backed by up to 40 year paint warranty and 25 year workmanship warranty. You cannot get that kind of guarantee from other roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles or SBS.

Variety of design optionsStan Plakhtiy2022-07-29T21:49:08+00:00

Variety of design options

Another highly attractive quality of standing seam metal panels is that they offer customizable installation options for your Edmonton home or business. They come in a variety of colours, lengths, and widths to fit any roof or design plan, ensuring that your low slope roof is as alluring as it is effective.

No exposed fastenersStan Plakhtiy2022-07-29T21:49:38+00:00

No exposed fasteners

Standing Seam panels do not have any exposed fasteners. This is an extremely beneficial attribute, given that flatter roofs are more susceptible to water accumulation. As mentioned before, the best roofing material for low slope roofs must be waterproof. The standing seam system fits that bill perfectly. The way that the seams are joined and fastened to the roof deck prevents water from getting in it.

FlexibilityStan Plakhtiy2022-07-29T21:50:01+00:00

Flexibility

The panels are also designed to withstand a certain amount of expansion and contraction as the hidden clips allow for some movement. This is particularly beneficial during temperature change.

Energy efficientStan Plakhtiy2022-07-29T21:50:32+00:00

Energy efficient

In a study conducted by the Florida Solar commission, it was discovered that up to 70% of heat is reflected by metal. AMT Metal Roofing’s standing seam metal panels are constructed with the highest quality materials and are also coated with highly reflective paints. The more heat that is deflected, the less likely your home will experience thermal transfer (where heat is absorbed by the roof deck and ultimately transferred to the inside of your home). Findings from the Cool Metal Roofing Coalitions and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory state that this increase heat deflection could mean up to 40% savings on energy bills.
