Metal Roofs

 

Interested in finding out why this material is so popular with homeowners? Below is a complete list of the pros of metal roofing. You may be able to benefit from a reliable roofing system if you carefully weigh them.

Metal roofs can be durable and last a long time.

The material’s durability is the main reason homeowners choose to re-roof or build a new roof. According to a McGraw-Hill survey, 26 percent of homeowners said that metal roofing is best for their longevity and 22 percent said that they are influenced by its strength. A metal roof that is properly installed will typically last as long as the house. It can be expected to last 40-70 years, and often comes with a 30-to-50-year warranty.

Metal roofs are more environmentally friendly.

Asphalt shingles are a petroleum product. This increases our dependence on fossil fuels. They also need to be replaced every 15 to 20 years, meaning that almost 20 billion pounds worth of asphalt shingles end up in U.S. landfills each year. For many reasons, metal roofs are considered more sustainable than asphalt shingles. They are made up of at least 25% of recycled materials and can be recycled 100 percent.

Metal roofs are more energy-efficient than other types of roofing.

The reflective properties of metal roofing can help you save money on heating and cooling costs. Metal roofs reflect radiant heat rather than absorbing it. This can reduce cooling costs by up to 25%, especially in the summer. Some metal roofing is coated with reflective pigments that reduce heat gain to keep occupants comfortable, without the need to turn up the AC.

Metal roofs look great.

Metal roofs today are far more sophisticated than the corrugated Tin barns of old. You can now choose from zinc, aluminum, and copper in an incredible array of colors, finishes, shapes, and even sizes. They offer more options than the traditional asphalt shingle. Modern metal roofing is available in over 100 colors. The two most commonly used metals in residential roofing are aluminum and steel. They can hold paint well.
