From the first shovel in the ground to every step of the building process, our homeowners, contractors, and architects choose quality building products like Westman Steel for all their building projects.
Why Choose Steel For Your Home?
While asphalt shingles are a popular choice because of their low cost, they just don’t compare to our quality steel roofs. Steel outperforms in durability, longevity, and superior protection for your home. Your home is the most expensive thing you will buy, and you need a roof that will protect that investment.
When replacing your roof, consider what material will best protect your family. The Canadian Building Code recognizes steel building materials as non-combustible, making them the ideal choice for your home. Steel will provide peace of mind compared to wood, asphalt shingles, and other materials. Steel is the right choice to protect your home and family.
Unlike wood, stone, vinyl, asphalt shingles and cement board siding, steel roofing and siding panels require little maintenance. Steel roofing and siding are resistant to harsh weather conditions, which can damage your home. With steel, there is no need to repaint, seal joints, or fix blown-off shingles; just remove leaves & branches to retain its pleasing aesthetic.
A steel roofing and siding system will last 50+ years! In comparison, an asphalt shingle roof would require three replacements in that same 50-year period. With inflation and annual dumping fees to dispose of the old roof, a homeowner could spend four times as much over the same period. Steel is a steal of a deal!
WESTMAN STEEL stands by our roofing and siding systems with the best warranties. We Offer a Limited 40-year paint warranty that is comprehensive and reliable. Taking it to the next level is our EDCO roofing and siding warranties. They carry a Lifetime Non-Prorated Limited Warranty that includes 100% labour for any problems. There is no better way to go when looking for peace of mind.
One of the primary reasons for using steel roofing and siding in construction is to dramatically change the overall look of a building, making it more appealing and adding value. Choose from 26 profiles and 46 colours when building your dream home. We are here to help you make your STATEMENT IN STEEL.
Steel roofing and siding panels are 100% recyclable, making them environmentally friendly and reducing the number of construction materials in landfills. With steel, you can reduce your carbon footprint.
Myths About Steel
In the unlikely situation that a home is struck by lightning, a steel roof would be the best material to have. The steel works to disperse the energy safely; more importantly, steel is non-combustible. A steel roof will not catch fire when struck by lightning. You can’t say that for other roofing materials.
A steel roof is no louder than an asphalt shingle roof; the difference is installation. You can correctly install your new steel roof, with underlayment, ice and water shield and directly install it to the deck. Installing a roof system with strapping will produce an air gap between the deck and the new steel panels. When it rains or in high winds, this space creates a drumming effect, resulting in a noisy roof. Eliminate the air gap with a direct-to-deck installation, and you won't lose a good night's sleep.
Whether you need to clean out your gutters or you’re looking to chop down some overhanging branches, you shouldn’t be afraid to walk on your steel roof. Steel Roofing is safe to walk on for any home improvement project. It’s a good idea to talk to your roofing contractor or Westman Steel about safety precautions.
Steel roofs are unique in their ability to withstand high wind speeds. They are the best choice regarding their wind ratings. They achieve this by screwing to the deck versus nailing like an asphalt shingle. The pull-out tolerances are much higher. For example, our EDCO Steel shingles, when installed with screws, have a wind blow-off rating of 258 KPH or 160 MPH. No asphalt shingle on the planet will take that much wind pressure and remain on your roof.
Steel roofs work to reflect the UV rays that most asphalt roofs absorb. Additionally, Steel roofs release solar heat much more quickly than asphalt roofs, reducing the overall heat load on your house. When you have a metal roof properly installed, it will maintain a more consistent interior temperature, and you can expect energy savings.
In the fight against rust, we bonded our steel roofs with galvalume or galvanized coatings constructed of advanced alloys to resist rusting. Westman Steel uses a heat-applied paint system, made to withstand the effects of weathering and UV breakdown. Once you install Westman Steel’s roofing, siding, and trims, it will remain rust-free for decades.

Technical Information
Nominal Thickness: Steel sheet manufacturers produce steel sheets to a target or "nominal" thickness. However, variations in the final thickness are unavoidable due to the manufacturing process.
Base Steel Thickness: This is the thickness of the sheet steel material without any coatings.
Coated Thickness: This is the thickness of the steel sheet including any metallic coatings (e.g. zinc or aluminum-zinc alloy) and paint coatings.
Our profiles are differentiated by their Tensile Strength, this has two components: Yield and Ultimate. Yield occurs when the material is no longer able to perform its function (bending or stretching) without breaking. Ultimate is the point at which the material breaks.
The Tensile Strength of a material is the maximum tensile pulling force stress, or maximum force per unit area, that the material can sustain before it breaks under tension.
The Perspectra Plus Series Paint System is a topcoat paint system applied on a flexible primer to enhance corrosion resistance, particularly at cut edges, scratches, and bends. It also covers chemical pre-treatment. We have over 45 colours to choose from, including Bone White, Metro Brown, and Bright Red.
