Our Commitment
When you choose Westman Steel, you are choosing a family-owned Canadian company that values excellent customer service. Since 1982 we have been Canada's most trusted steel roofing and siding manufacturer.
Westman Steel has supported homeowners, design professionals, and contractors in building projects that make a Statement in Steel.
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.
Building your Dream Home is all about Choices! You want it made right and to last with materials that can stand the test of time. You want your family to enjoy your home for generations to come.
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 cladding panels require very little maintenance. Steel roofing and cladding are resistant to harsh weather conditions, which can damage the exterior of your building. With steel, there is no need to repaint, seal joints, or fix blown-off shingles; all you do is simply wash it off to retain its pleasing aesthetic.
Steel roofing and cladding systems may initially require a greater upfront financial investment compared to other building material. However, a steel roof and cladding system will last 50+ years! In comparison, an asphalt shingle roof would require three replacements in that same 50 year time span. With inflation and annual dumping fees to dispose of the old roof, a homeowner would spend close to four times as much over the same period of time. Steel is a steal of a deal!
WESTMAN STEEL stands by our roofing and cladding systems with the best warranties. We Offer a Limited 40-year 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 cladding in construction is to dramatically change the overall look of a building, making it more appealing and adding value. Choose from a variety of styles and colours when building your dream home. We are here to help you make your STATEMENT IN STEEL.
Steel roofing and cladding panels are made of recycled materials, making them environmentally friendly and reducing the number of construction materials in landfills. You can recycle them again at the end of their use to reduce your carbon footprint.
Myths About Steel
In the unlikely chance that a building is struck by lightning, a steel roof would actually 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, which means that once you install steel roofing, siding, and trims, it will remain rust-free for decades.

What to Consider When Picking a Steel Panel
Manufacturer
Westman Steel is a trusted steel roll forming company; we buy the highest quality coils directly from the steel mills, not from a wholesaler. We know the gauge of the steel, the thickness and the metal coating paint system, the tensile strength and more. Westman Steel is the only Canadian company with six manufacturing locations coast to coast. We carry Canada's most expensive inventory, so there are no supply chain delays.
Panel Profiles
When choosing your panel profile, you want to think about strength. The number of folds in the metal determines the tensile strength. 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 Proper Gauge
The thickness of your metal cladding or roofing panels is essential when starting your project. "Gauge" is the term that refers to the thickness of the steel sheet. Standard gauges for our metal products range from 28 gauge to 22 gauge; the lower the number, the thicker the steel resulting in greater strength.
Paint System
Westman Steel is committed to excellence, which is why we use the Perspectra Plus Series Paint System. This topcoat paint system is applied on a flexible primer to improve corrosion resistance, especially at cut edges, scratches, and bends. It also provides protection against chemical pre-treatment. Choosing a colour or finish can be a challenge. We have over 45 colours to choose from, including Bone White, Metro Brown, and Bright Red.
Colour
Choosing a colour or finish can be a challenge. Consider the building's footprint, sight lines, and seasonal changes to make the best decision. We have over 45 colours to choose from, including Bone White, Metro Brown, and Bright Red.

Our Commitment
Westman Steel draws its strength from its agricultural origins, but its product range now extends to a variety of commercial uses. We are proud to be the number one Canadian manufacturer that the commercial market chooses.
Our commitment to quality is upheld throughout your project. From the blueprints to the finished building, we are devoted to making your next venture a STATEMENT IN STEEL!
Contractors recognize the quality of Westman Steel's products when constructing warehouses, manufacturing plants, office buildings, factories, schools, and much more.
Why Choose Steel to make Your Statement?
When planning your next project, consider tensile strength. This is determined by two components: yield and ultimate. Yield is the point at which the material can no longer perform its intended function (e.g. bending or stretching) without breaking. Steel is without a doubt the strongest material on the market. Paired with our stylish profiles, your next project will look good and endure the test of time.
Westman Steel's product line offers maximum design flexibility. Our catalogue of profiles ranges from traditional to modern and everything in between. To take it to the next level, we have curated a selection of colours and textures to make your next project a STATEMENT IN STEEL!
Steel is the world's most recycled material. It has a recycling rate of over 90%, and is recycled into other steel products, using much less energy than was needed to produce the original product. This material can be recycled for centuries with no loss of quality, reducing the burden on future generations. That is the very definition of sustainability.

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.
