Imperial Rib Metal Panel Roofing

Because of their durability, Imperial Rib panels are ABC's most popular panel choice for homeowners.

Metal roofing offers a contemporary edge in both aesthetics and functionality, despite its over 100-year history. Once the go-to for industrial, commercial, and agricultural buildings, it has now become a premium choice for modern homeowners. For example, Imperial Rib metal roofing combines outstanding durability with a sleek, attractive appearance.

The Imperial Rib panel, the most popular choice from ABC, is widely used across various industries. This exposed fastener panel, with the added option of Drip Stop, ensures lasting durability while enhancing the visual appeal of any property.

Asphalt vs. Imperial Rib: What's Cheaper?

Asphalt shingles are significantly less expensive to install than Imperial Rib metal roofing. However, while Imperial Rib roofing panels have a higher initial cost, they offer much greater longevity. With Imperial Rib metal roofing, you’ll experience a fantastic return on your investment because:

1

Higher Property Value

A sturdy and beautiful metal roof boosts your home’s selling value if and when you decide to sell. Imperial Rib roof panels are a desirable choice for roofing in general and provide exceptional performance, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. In addition, there are plenty of Imperial Rib colors to choose from, making it a great way to beautify your home.

2

Easy Re-Roofing

If you currently have asphalt shingles, you might not need to worry about the expenses related to removing and discarding that old roofing material. Metal roofing can be placed directly on top due to its light weight, simplifying the job. Of course, to find out if this is feasible for you, you may need to contact your neighborhood building department.

3

Long-Lasting Roof

Due to its longevity, you might have Imperial Rib metal roofing for the rest of your life! Metal roofing has a lifespan of 40–70 years with a great warranty, which is fantastic compared to asphalt’s 15-30 year life. If you compare the cost of several asphalt shingle roof replacements to the price difference if you had initially chosen Imperial Rib, it becomes clear that Imperial Rib is a much better financial decision.

Avoid Expensive Roofing Replacements

In the long run, installing Imperial Rib panels once will cost you less than replacing your asphalt roof every 15 to 30 years, which can amount to thousands of dollars. Additionally, due to inflation, the cost of materials will continue to rise, making multiple re-roofing projects an unwanted hassle. Save money and avoid costly roof replacements by choosing Imperial Rib metal roofing in Florida!
