Increasing numbers of homeowners, architects and contractors are opting for metal roofs in both roof replacement and new construction projects. Why? It's not just because rain on a metal roof is soothing.
Pros of Metal Roofing
Metal roofs offer several advantages when compared to other roofing materials, like asphalt shingles, wood shingles and shake, or clay and concrete tiles.
Metal roofs are long lasting
First and foremost, metal roofs just last longer than other materials. Depending on the specific material, metal roofing can last 40-70 years. Traditional asphalt roofing only lasts about 12 to 20 years. The extended lifespan of a metal roof is why many make the switch when re-roofing or with new construction.
Metal roofs are durable and require minimal maintenance
Metal roofing is long-lasting because it is extremely durable. It can sustain strong wind gusts without corroding or cracking. Plus, metal roofs do not require the costly, routine maintenance that other roofing materials require.
Metal roofs are energy efficient
While installing a metal roof can be expensive, the money spent on the installation can be made up from the savings in monthly cooling and heating costs. Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat instead of absorbing it, which often reduces cooling costs.
Metal roofs are fire resistant
Metal roofs are safer because they will not spark and ignite into flames when exposed to a wildfire or struck by lightning.
