The tensile strength of metal refers to the stretching (stress) it can handle before breaking or failing. High tensile steel is much stronger and more resilient than low tensile strength steel.
Wise Line Metal Sales manufactures their metal roofing from high tensile strength coils to ensure a strong roof to protect your investments. Many competitive companies will boast a thicker gauge, low tensile strength product.
An example of this is that a Wise Line 29-gauge, high tensile strength metal roofing sheet will absorb hailstone strikes with less damage than a competitor 26-gauge, low tensile strength roofing panel, even though 26-gauge is thicker than the 29-gauge metal.
