How Can Sheffield Metals Support Metal Roofing Contractors in Chicagoland?
Metal Coils and Sheets and Roofing Accessories
- Materials: Sheffield Metals sells painted and non-painted Galvalume and aluminum coils and sheets. We stock master coils in 40” and 48” widths and slit to width based on customer orders.
- Custom Orders: We also fulfill orders that don’t align with Sheffield’s standard sizes (16”, 20”, and 24”), but keep in mind custom orders will result in dropcut fees. Our steel thicknesses are available in 22, 24, and 26-gauge, and aluminum in .032, .040, and .063.
- Color Options: Sheffield Metals offers dozens of color options available with PVDF or SMP paint systems, plus options for high and low-gloss, textured or non-textured.
- Accessories: Sheffield Metals offers a full line of metal roofing accessories, including screws, clips, and underlayment. We can help you find the right accessories for your project.
Testing and Engineering for Commercial and Residential Projects
- Quality Testing: Sheffield Metals uses stringent testing standards to meet local codes and regulations, wind uplift ratings, fire ratings, impact ratings, water submersion, and more. We support standing seam metal roofing profiles produced out of New Tech Machinery rollformers to ensure the best performance for your project.
- Panel Profiles Page: On the panel profiles page on our website, you’ll find a variety of standing seam metal roofing profiles listed. Click on a profile to get more information on what testing and engineering the profile has, warranty information, and installation details for different types of materials.
- NTM Compatibility: SMI offers free access to panel testing and engineering for panels run through New Tech Machinery portable rollformers.
- Supported Profiles: Sheffield Metals is one of the few metal roofing suppliers that doesn’t compete with our customers by selling panels. Instead, we support panel profiles with testing and engineering.
Weathertight Warranties to Fulfill Commercial Roofing Specifications
Aside from offering paint and substrate warranties for our products, Sheffield Metals also offers weathertight warranties for commercial projects, fully issued and guaranteed via our in-house Technical Department.
You can start by applying for a weathertight warranty – if accepted, Sheffield Metals will be available during the project to inspect the work and provide support should any questions or issues arise.
NTM Metal Rollforming Machines Sales & Support
Sheffield Metals is partnered with industry leader New Tech Machinery, a manufacturer of portable roof panel rollforming machines. Our testing and engineering uses New Tech Machinery’s panel profiles, offering contractors the complete metal roofing package.
