In the face of extreme weather, Unified Steel holds strong

By Emma Peterson. 

Stone Coated Roofing provides advanced protection against wind, fire, hail and long-term environmental exposure. 

Recently, the weather has been growing more intense with colder colds, hotter hots and higher winds. And thanks to the El Niño weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean, the extreme weather is not predicted to go away any time soon. In fact, the United Nations reports the “El Niño forecast to intensify, increasing likelihood of extreme weather.”  

So, what can we do in the face of intense weather patterns that seem to be only growing more frequent over the years? Build more resilient roofs. By guiding clients to highly durable materials and products, roofing contractors can help keep them safe and sound. 

A great product to recommend is Unified Steel Stone Coated Roofing! This product delivers the look of traditional roofing with advanced performance that stands strong through Mother Nature’s worst:  

• Fire: With a Class A fire rating and ember-resistant underlayment options, you can easily build WUI-compliant roof assemblies featuring stone-coated steel. 
• UV: When stone-coated roofing is installed in combination with Westlake Roofing Products’ (Unified Steel’s parent company), you can create a powerful combination of durability and efficiency that improves both energy efficiency and durability. 
• Wind: This product has been carefully designed and engineered so that, when installed in proper assemblies, it can withstand Category 5 hurricane-force winds. 
• Hail: Unified Steel stone-coated roofing comes with a Class 4 impact rating, meaning it will endure hailstorms with unmatched strength. 
• Time: Being made of steel and built in the United States, stone coated roofing comes with a 50-year transferable warranty – a testament to how long it is built to last. 

Contractors who have installed stone-coated steel roofing have heard their customers’ praises firsthand regarding the benefits of Unified Steel Stone Coated Roofing.

The roof that you want to put on is the roof that's not going to cause you any headaches.”
