Springhouse metal roofing was created in response to the frustration that many homeowners suffer as they face the costs and hassles of replacing their asphalt shingles every 10-15 years. When the life of an asphalt roof ends, the homeowner is forced to pay someone to not only remove the product but also dispose of it at a landfill site. Disposal is costly and becoming increasingly regulated in many municipalities. The homeowner s then faced with the renovation expense of installing a new roof. With the continued use of an asphalt product, this whole process may have to be repeated again in another 10 to 15 years.

Recognising the pent up demand in the market place for an attractive product with a lifetime expectancy that is backed by a meaningful warranty, Andex Metal Products Ltd. looked to metal as a solution. In North America, steel roofing is used extensively in the commercial building industry. Homeowners realise the durability and strength associated with metal but they are not willing to sacrifice appearance for endurance. Therefore, Andex has created the metal shingle system that is ideal for the residential roofing market. Rather than being heavy or commercial in appearance, he shingles have a low profile, horizontal layered look and come in a traditional looking profile that is complementary to North American architecture. They are aesthetically pleasing and guarantee the unmatchable quality and durability that is associated with steel.
