Metal Roofs – There Are Benefits

Metal roofs are growing in popularity. But do you wonder why? If you are thinking about having a metal roof on your home, here are a few benefits you should know.

• Metal roofs are known for their longevity and can typically last 40-80 years.
• Metal is resilient against weather elements including strong winds, hail and heavy snow; something we know a little about here in the Midwest.
• Metal is also energy efficient and typically save the homeowner around 40%. The most efficient metal roof will depend on the home’s location and whether or not the roof is painted. Unpainted metal roofs absorb more of the sun’s heat; while, granular or pre-painted options re-emit up to 90% of the solar radiation.
• The roofing materials for metal roofs are typically made from recycled content and are even recyclable at the end of their lifespan.
• A characteristic of metal roofs are noncombustible, or Class A fire rating. However, they are more prone to lightning strikes.

Metal roofs are also available in several different materials offering benefits of their own.

• Aluminum: highly resistant to corrosion and lightweight
• Steel: durable and is typically coated to prevent rust.
• Copper: long lifespan and the beautiful patina it develops over time.
• Zinc: long lifespan and requires minimal maintenance and will also have a patina and change color over time.
