summer aluminum roof system failures are preventable
Thermal expansion represents the primary technical challenge for modern metal roofing, causing premature failures in one out of three installations according to recent industry data. This issue particularly affects aluminum installations, which exhibit thermal expansion rates 30% higher than traditional steel systems, creating significant structural stress during temperature fluctuations.​​ The Hidden Scale of Thermal Problems Modern aluminium roof systems face considerable thermal stress, especially during summer expansion-contraction cycles that can cause panels to expand up to 1.56 inch ...
