Strength That Endures. Performance That Lasts.
Metal roofing is one of the most durable, low-maintenance, and long-lasting roofing systems available — and at Thorpe, it’s one of our core specializations. We design and install high-performance metal roofing systems that meet the demands of Western Canada’s diverse climate zones and complex architectural requirements. Whether your project needs structural steel roofing, standing seam panels, or insulated systems, our experienced teams deliver with precision, safety, and proven expertise.
What Is Metal Roofing?
Metal roofing systems consist of sheet metal panels or tiles that form the outermost layer of the roof, typically installed over insulation and underlayment systems. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, metal roofing offers unmatched durability, longevity, and aesthetic flexibility.
Common system types include:
- Standing Seam Roofing: Panels joined by raised interlocking seams for watertight protection and clean architectural lines
- Corrugated Metal Roofing: Lightweight and durable option with a traditional industrial look
- Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs): All-in-one roofing systems with built-in insulation, offering excellent thermal performance
- Metal & FRP Roofing (Fibreglass Reinforced Panels): Specialized systems for industrial facilities requiring corrosion resistance
These systems can be installed on new builds or retrofitted over existing structures, and they’re particularly effective in regions with heavy snow, high winds, or temperature extremes — like Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC’s Interior.
Metal roofing systems are widely used in:
- Industrial plants and processing facilities
- Municipal and public safety buildings
- Long-span commercial roofs
- Agricultural operations
- Dealerships, retail, and service buildings
- Educational and institutional facilities
- Utility and infrastructure sites
With superior life expectancy (often 40+ years), low maintenance needs, and resistance to fire, mold, and pests, metal roofing is a go-to solution for building owners and developers seeking long-term value.
