Now days more and more roofing contractors these days are answering “yes” to that question. Manufacturing independence, waste management, shipping considerations and other factors paint a compelling case for contractors looking to buy a roll former and produce their own panels.
In fact, roll forming has many cost advantages over brake forming and preformed panels, including:
- No expensive shipping and crating of long panels. Coils are delivered right to the shop or jobsite.
- No panel shipping damage and delays are minimal.
- Less labor and waste.
- The ability to work on your own schedule, not the factory’s.
- Form perfect panels to any length.
