Preventing PAINT FADING 

​How Do I Keep My Roof from Fading?

One of the long standing issues with metal roofing material has always been that it will
eventually (and sometimes rather quickly) fade or scratch under the harsh environmental forces
such as UV light, hail, consistent rain, etc. It’s because of these factors that it’s important to do
the research when selecting a metal roofing material that’s right for you. A material offered by a
company is no good if it cannot withstand the test of time, as the main appeal of a metal roof is
its longevity.
The key factor of a good metal coating boil down to these 6 traits:
  • Hardness
  • UV resistance
  • Heat Resistance
  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Applied cost
  • Flexibility
Picture
With these factors in mind, London Eco-Metal uses the Beckry Tech polyester based coating,
and is one of the only metal roofing manufacturers that offers a warranty directly from the
supplier of that coating. Longevity of buildings is beneficial both from an economic and
environmental viewpoint. Beckry®Tech, a high-tech polymer based coating, is an exceptionally
good choice for increased lifespan. It doesn’t chalk and performs well when it comes to colour,
gloss and erosion and provides excellent UV resistance of polyester based coatings. A highly
durable architectural coating like Beckry®Tech helps the longevity of buildings.
When you’re doing your research on your metal roofing investment, be sure to ask your sales
person if they have a warranty directly with their paint manufacturer and then request to see
documentation of that.

HOW Double Strapping HELPS PROLONG PAINT LIFE 

Picture
Not only does an ECO ROOF use a resilient coating, it also has another feature that keeps the surface temperature of your roof  cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter

That feature is the double strapping that the roof panels are mechanically attached to. The airgap between the panels continuously circulates cool air between the eaves to the ridge, turning the radiant energy of the sun into convective energy. As the metal roof panels heat up in the sun, they draw fresh cool air in to the roof and which reduces the surface temperature of the panels significantly. This helps  prevent exposed metal paint surfaces from getting baked out by  heat and UV radiation from the sun.
