Introduction:
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 the standards of roofing excellence. In this post, we’ll discuss, once again, the unparalleled superiority of metal roofs, especially in comparison to traditional materials such as cement, asbestos, and cement-asbestos hybrid systems. Our focus remains steadfast on preserving historic aesthetics while embracing the cutting-edge performance of metal.
Preserving Timeless Charm:
We understand the delicate balance between preservation and progress. Our metal roofing systems not only replicate the distinctive diamond shapes found in traditional shingles but also offer a bespoke design approach. From flat-bottom diamonds to custom shapes, our solutions seamlessly integrate with the original aesthetics of historic buildings, ensuring the visual legacy remains intact while elevating performance standards.

Safety at the Core:
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 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:
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.
