Metal Roofs Gleam in Preservation, Outshining Asbestos, Cement, and Hybrid Shingles in Historic Restoration

Elevating Historic Roofing with Durable, Safe, and Sustainable Solutions

Preserving Timeless Charm with Metal Roofing

By now, you know to come here for German-trained craftsmanship and innovation fused into highly engineered metal roofing and cladding systems. As custodians of Europe’s iconic landmarks, we take pride in redefining roofing excellence. This post explores the unparalleled superiority of metal roofs compared to traditional materials like cement, asbestos, and hybrid systems. Our focus is on preserving historic aesthetics while embracing the advanced performance of metal.

Custom Metal Solutions for Historic Roofs

We understand the balance between preservation and progress. Our metal roofing systems not only replicate the distinctive diamond shapes of traditional shingles but also offer a bespoke design approach. Whether you need blunt edge diamonds in zinc, flattened point copper diamonds, or standard point copper shingles to replace diamond-shaped asphalt shingles, our solutions integrate seamlessly with historic architecture while elevating performance standards.

Safety at the Core of Historic Roofing

Safety is non-negotiable in the Spengler ethos. While cement, asbestos, and cement-asbestos hybrid shingles were once popular for their perceived durability, safety concerns have rightfully shifted the focus to alternative materials. Our metal roofs are asbestos-free and inherently fire-resistant, providing a secure roofing alternative for historic structures. The health risks associated with asbestos are eliminated, offering peace of mind to those who value the longevity and protection of their architectural treasures.

Durability Redefined: Metal Roofs vs. Traditional Materials

Metal roofs are synonymous with durability, outperforming traditional materials in longevity and low maintenance requirements. Our metal roofing and cladding systems guarantee a maintenance-free lifetime, a stark contrast to the potential deterioration of cement and asbestos. Our commitment to durability extends beyond longevity; it’s a promise that your historic building will stand resilient against the elements, showcasing endurance and grace.

Consistently re-restoring an historic roof makes no sense at all. Whether you are replacing your cement, asbestos or hybrid shingles due to failure or to safety concerns, make sure you are substituting with a solution that will last. All those other options are prone to fail.

Environmental Harmony: Sustainability Meets Historic Preservation

The environmental issues with asbestos are legion. What you might not know is, the production of cement does have its environmental impact, as it involves the release of carbon dioxide during the manufacturing process. It holds heat, breaks easily and is destined for landfill with only limited recyclability options.

Sustainability is not just a buzzword at Spengler Industries; it’s a commitment woven into our very fabric. Metal is a recyclable material, making our roofing systems an environmentally friendly choice. Unlike cement and asbestos, our production process has a significantly lower environmental impact. With metal, you not only invest in the preservation of history but also contribute to a greener future, aligning your landmark with the values of modern sustainability.
