METAL ROOF-STONE COATED

chuck drane · Guest

I can attest to this , the roof we cleaned from the side but we noticed how slick it looked once we had it coated. these are beautiful roofs though and they clean good.

We do quite a bit of stone coated steel roof cleaning here in Florida. Last month, we sent a truck down to South Florida to clean 6 stone coated steel tile roofs in Broward County. These roofs can be ruined in a heartbeat by someone who does not know what he is doing.

Since I've been reading the forum and educating myself on roof cleaning, I've been paying particular attention to the different types of roofs while driving - yes keeping my eyes on the road. I've noticed this type of roofing on commercial buildings and in particular on fire stations. I didn't know what it was until now. Supposedly the average life span of a stone coated steel roof is 2-3 times that of a traditional asphalt roof.

We just did one in Punta Gorda Isles the 1st part of this month.

We do these from ladders. I think they are likely to pop some stone coating off here and there if walked on.

The odd thing I saw on 1 edge of this roof was lichen. In Florida, the only lichen I've seen was on wet wood and stone.

It cleaned up easily and beautifully though!

Stone coated roofs do look nice but if you are looking for an efficient roof, metal roofs are the way to go. I however think these type of roofs look modern and unique. I think its the way to go in roofing.

We never walk on stone coated steel roofing, they clean up very nice.
