Metal Roofing Built for Calgary Conditions

A metal roof can provide decades of protection when the panel, roof assembly, and installation suit the building.

In Calgary, a roofing system must account for hail, snow, strong winds, temperature changes and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Panel profile, metal gauge, fasteners, underlayment, flashings and installation quality all affect how the roof performs.


Metal roofing may be a good choice if you want:


  • Long-term weather protection
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Resistance to rot, cracking and pests
  • Multiple styles and colour options
  • Panels suitable for homes, businesses and agricultural buildings


No roofing material is completely resistant to every weather event. The goal is to select a complete system appropriate for the building, rather than choosing a panel based on appearance alone.

Metal Roofing Panel Options

Phoenix Metals offers several metal panel profiles. The right option depends on the building type, roof design, desired appearance and fastening preference.

Allclad

Allclad has a board-and-batten-inspired appearance and can be used for both wall and roofing applications. It suits homes, shops, barns, and commercial buildings.

Diamond Rib

Diamond Rib has a pronounced rib pattern and works well on commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings that require a strong, practical panel.

 Duraclad

Duraclad is a versatile panel available in multiple gauges and finishes. It can be used for wall or roof applications across several building types.

Prolok

Prolok uses a concealed-fastening system and is available in 12-inch and 16-inch widths. Its clean vertical lines make it a strong option for architectural and high-visibility exteriors.




WeatherShield

WeatherShield panels provide lightweight cladding options for agricultural and utility buildings. WeatherShield 1 is particularly suited to arch-rib and Quonset-style structures.


Corrugated

Metal Panels

Corrugated panels can be used on commercial, industrial, agricultural and contemporary residential buildings. The repeating profile creates a more pronounced exterior appearance.

Exposed vs. Concealed Fasteners

One of the main decisions when choosing a metal roof is whether to use exposed or concealed fasteners.

Exposed-Fastener Roofing

Exposed-fastener systems use screws installed through the panel face. They are commonly used on shops, barns, warehouses, garages and other practical applications.

These systems are often more economical, but you should inspect the exposed screws and washers over time.

Concealed-Fastener Roofing

Concealed-fastener systems hide the clips or fasteners beneath the panels. They provide a cleaner appearance and reduce the number of fasteners directly exposed to the weather.



These systems are often selected for homes, commercial properties and other high-visibility buildings.

Neither option is automatically better. Consider roof slope, panel length, appearance, thermal movement, maintenance, and budget.

Residential, Commercial and Agricultural Roofing

Residential

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing can be used on houses, garages, additions, cabins and detached shops. Homeowners can select from several profiles, colours and finishes to complement the building’s design.



Plan a residential metal roof as a complete assembly. Underlayment, ventilation, flashings, roof penetrations and snow movement all require careful attention.

Commercial and Industrial Metal Roofing

Phoenix Metals supplies and fabricates roofing products for warehouses, retail buildings, offices, workshops and industrial properties.


We can work from project drawings to produce panels, trims and custom components in the required dimensions.

Agricultural Metal Roofing

Metal panels are widely used on barns, equipment buildings, Quonset structures and other agricultural properties.


The right profile depends on the roof shape, slope, supporting structure and expected exposure to wind and snow. Our team can explain which available panels are suitable for consideration.

Gauges, Finishes and Colours

Metal roofing panels are available in different gauges, finishes and colours.


The appropriate gauge depends on the panel profile, supporting structure and project specifications. A lower gauge number generally means thicker metal, but not every building requires thicker material.


Available finishes may include pre-painted steel, metallic options and premium coatings. Because colours can look different on a screen, we recommend reviewing a physical sample before making your final selection.

Custom Roof Flashings

A durable metal roof also requires properly fabricated details around its edges, transitions and openings.


Phoenix Metals can fabricate:


  • Ridge caps
  • Eave and gable trims
  • Valley flashings
  • Sidewall and headwall flashings
  • Parapet and cap flashings
  • Chimney flashings
  • Drip edges
  • Vents and goosenecks
  • Custom transition pieces


Custom products must be based on confirmed dimensions or approved drawings before fabrication begins.

Supply, Fabrication and Installation

Phoenix Metals supplies metal products and provides custom fabrication from our Calgary facility. Installation availability depends on the location, size and scope of the project.


When requesting an estimate, let us know if you require:

Metal Cladding FAQs

  • How long does metal roofing last?

    A properly specified, installed and maintained metal roof can remain in service for several decades. Its lifespan depends on the material, coating, roof design, installation and environmental exposure.

  • Can metal roofing withstand Calgary hail?

    Metal roofing is commonly used in hail-prone areas, but no roof is completely hail-proof. Panel gauge, profile, supporting structure and hailstone size can affect the likelihood of cosmetic denting or other damage.

  • Is a metal roof loud during rain or hail?

    Noise depends on the entire roof assembly. Decking, underlayment and insulation can significantly reduce the sound compared with an uninsulated panel installed over an open structure.

  • Does snow slide off metal roofing?

    No. ACM consists of aluminum sheets bonded to a core and provides a smooth architectural finish. Formed metal cladding uses steel or aluminum shaped into ribbed, corrugated or seamed profiles.

  • What is the difference between exposed and concealed fasteners?

    Exposed-fastener systems have screws visible on the panel face. Concealed-fastener systems hide the fasteners beneath the panels for a cleaner appearance and less direct weather exposure.

  • Does Phoenix Metals fabricate custom roof flashings?

    Yes. We fabricate custom roof flashings, trims and formed components based on approved drawings or confirmed measurements.
