There are many reasons to appreciate metal roofs, including their visual appeal, durability and eco-friendliness. However, along with admiration, it’s important to pay attention to the roof warranty, especially when considering adding rooftop accessories. Sometimes, using improper attachments can unintentionally void that warranty, which could result in problems later.

Metal roofs are a smart investment because they can last over 60 years with minimal upkeep. They are sturdy and perform well in harsh weather conditions such as fire, wind, snow and hail. Metal roofs are also eco-friendly, as they can be recycled when their lifespan comes to an end. This makes them a durable, cost-effective and sustainable choice for homeowners.

Access to electricity is easy to take for granted. But for many in remote areas of the world, it’s a luxury they simply do not have. That’s where Light Up The World (LUTW), a Canadian charity based in Calgary, comes in. By providing photovoltaic (PV) systems and renewable energy training to off-grid communities that lack access to reliable electricity, LUTW is helping to improve lives and empower communities to move towards a more reliable and sustainable future.
