Your metal building’s roof style plays a big role in how it looks and performs over its lifespan, so choosing the right one matters. Whether you live in an arid region with minimal rainfall or in an area that regularly sees inclement weather, your roof style can make a big difference.
Warrior Buildings offers several roofing options to match your style and environment — from economical regular roofing to our weather-resistant vertical options.
Comparing Roof Styles
What type of roofing style is best for your needs and location? Let’s explore the differences between the options available to you:
Regular Roofing
Known for its rounded edges, the regular roof style is our most economical option. Its simple, curved design effectively handles light weather conditions and offers a traditional aesthetic.
A-Frame Roofing
Also called boxed-eave roof style, A-frame roofing features a more residential appearance with horizontal panels. It’s an excellent choice for regions with moderate weather, as it combines aesthetic appeal with strength and functionality.
Vertical Roofing
Vertical roofing panels run from the ridge down to the eaves, enabling rain, snow, and debris to slide off efficiently. This option is recommended for areas with heavy precipitation, as the vertical orientation prevents buildup and extends the structure’s lifespan.
The Benefits of Vertical Roofing
Our vertical roof style is the most durable option — and while it comes at a slightly higher price point, it remains our most popular choice. Here’s why:
Vertical roofing directs rain, snow, and debris off the roof, minimizing the impact of heavy weather on your building.
Thanks to its steep pitch and vertical panel orientation, this roofing style allows dirt, leaves, snow, and other debris to slide off naturally — keeping your structure cleaner with less maintenance.
Vertical roofing’s durable design protects your building from wear and tear caused by accumulated debris and water, helping it last longer without replacement.
Less buildup means fewer repairs over time, making vertical roofing a great option for reducing maintenance expenses.
