Shopping for a new roof for your home or cottage? Looking for a durable, low-maintenance solution? A metal roof may be your best choice, especially here in the Outaouais, where winters are harsh and seasons extreme.
At Trinic Toitures, we install metal roofs throughout Gatineau and the surrounding area, for both residential and commercial buildings. Here’s why more and more homeowners are choosing this option and why you might too.
1. Decades of durability
A well-installed metal roof can last 40–50 years or more without losing performance. Unlike asphalt shingles, which need replacing every 15–20 years, metal offers long-term peace of mind.
2. Resistance to extreme weather
Metal roofs handle Outaouais conditions like snow, high winds, and freezing rain with ease. They:
- Shed snow more easily.
- Resist wind and moisture damage.
- Won’t rot, crack, or warp with freeze-thaw cycles.
3. Fire protection
Metal is non-combustible. Unlike shingles or wood, it won’t burn if exposed to embers from a wildfire or poorly maintained stove.
4. Energy efficiency and eco-friendliness
Metal roofs reflect sunlight, helping keep homes cooler in summer and lowering cooling costs. Plus:
- Often made from recycled materials.
- 100% recyclable at end of life.
- Require minimal maintenance.
5. Modern, versatile style
Today’s metal roofs come in a wide range of colors, finishes, and profiles — from traditional panels to sleek standing seams. There’s a style to match any home.
