Metal Roof FastenersThe roof of any structure is one of the key elements in the architectural design and one of the most important considerations in the overall longevity of the building once it is complete. Finding products that feature long-term durability and low maintenance is the ultimate goal of every contractor and consumer when creating a building plan and choosing materials.

Metal roofs have become one of the most common choices among commercial and residential builders and their clients in recent years. Likely because they have proven durability, corrosion resistance, are energy efficient and require little maintenance long- term.  In fact, in a recent State of the Industry report Roofing Contractor, Rick Pogue, owner of Arrowhead Building Supply said: “I have seen industry reports that forecast an increase in metal roofing systems as high as 20 percent over the next 5-10 years." Pogue also states: “My ‘crystal ball’ foresees that as the technology with metal roofing systems improves over time, metal will continue to grow, especially once you add the rising costs of asphalt roofing products to the mix.”

While we continue to see the popularity of Metal Roofs increase, there’s still one complaint: cost. Metal roofs generally involve higher up-front costs than other roofing alternatives. Labor for installation is typically the culprit here.  Metal roof installs are historically longer projects than traditional asphalt shingle roof installs. The longer the install, the higher the labor cost. Regardless of a higher up-front investment, however, metal roofs continue to gain popularity in both residential and commercial applications due to their sustainability and long term durability.  

In response to the industry’s need for a quality metal roofing system which will speed installation and thus lower labor costs, the BECK Fastener Group® recently introduced their newest ground breaking innovation, the SCRAIL® RoofLoc® System for attaching metal to wood.

A member of the ever popular SCRAIL® fastener family distributed by Master Distributor, FASCO America, the SCRAIL® RoofLoc® System is a true revolution in metal roof fastening, delivering holding power that exceeds 400 lbs. The metal roof fasteners are available in a vast array of colors and feature a leak-proof washer and FasCoat® finish, specifically formulated for improved corrosion resistance for exterior applications.
