Why Metal? Why Now?
From coast to coast, metal is reshaping the roofing landscape with strength, style and resilience. Are you ready?
Metal roofing is no longer just a niche solution—it’s a modern, high-performance choice that’s reshaping the roofing industry. With unmatched durability, energy efficiency and design flexibility, metal roofs are built to last 50+ years, often outliving the buildings they protect. They reflect solar heat, reduce cooling costs and are made from recyclable materials, making them a smart investment for both the planet and the pocketbook.
In a world facing more extreme weather, rising insurance costs, and growing sustainability demands, resiliency is the new standard.
That’s why Sherwin-Williams is leading the charge with the MetalVue program that not only helps contractors and OEMs grow their business, but also elevates the performance of metal roofing systems through industry-leading coil coatings.
Durability is the foundation. Resiliency is the finish.

Lower energy costs with the right coating.
Raise your sustainability footprint.
Sherwin-Williams offers more energy-efficiency by helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Direct sunlight and heat are easily absorbed by dry, exposed man-made structures, which increases surface temperature and results in higher energy costs. Cool metal roofing can offset this effect with Sherwin-Williams Solar Reflective (SR) coatings—Fluropon and WeatherXL.

Building Resilience Where It Matters Most
Across the country, extreme weather is becoming the new normal from hailstorms in the Midwest to wildfires in the West and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. In this evolving climate, resilience is more than a buzzword it’s a business imperative. Metal roofing systems, when paired with Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings, offer unmatched protection, performance and peace of mind. For contractors and OEMs, this is an opportunity to lead with solutions that not only endure but actively reduce risk for homeowners and insurers alike. Learn more from the MetalVue team about how you can build smarter, stronger and more resilient.
Why Resilience Matters by Region
- Midwest & Great Plains
- States like Texas, Colorado, and Nebraska experience hundreds of hailstorms annually, with Texas alone suffering over $338 million in hail damage per year
- Metal roofing with impact-resistant coatings helps reduce costly claims and extends roof life in hail-prone zones.
- Southeast & Gulf Coast
- Hurricanes and tropical storms bring wind speeds exceeding 150 mph, especially in Florida and the Carolinas
- Metal roofs, tested to withstand uplift pressures of 90–200+ mph, offer superior wind resistance and corrosion protection in coastal environments
- West & Southwest
- Wildfires cost the U.S. economy up to $893 billion annually, with roofing materials playing a critical role in home survival
- Non-combustible metal roofing, especially standing seam steel, significantly reduces ignition risk from embers and radiant heat
- Northeast
- Heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles can cause structural stress and water infiltration
- Metal roofing sheds snow efficiently and resists cracking from repeated freeze-thaw expansion, helping prevent ice dams and interior damage
- Pacific Northwest
- Persistent rain and moss growth degrade traditional roofing materials.
- Metal roofs resist moisture absorption and moss buildup, lasting 40–70 years with minimal maintenance ideal for the region’s damp climate
