There is a wide variety of roof material options available on today’s market; it’s important to know which one is right for you. Sometimes gathering all the pertinent information can be tough. It helps when it’s all laid out together for you. Here’s a basic overview of the benefits of residential metal roofs:
Choice Variety:
Metal roofs come in many different types: copper, zinc, steel, aluminum, titanium, etc. Steel and aluminum are the most common choices for home roofs. They all have minor differences that your roofer can go over with you before installation.
Long life span/hardy:
Metal roofs will generally last 40-70 years if kept up properly. This is a big advantage over asphalt shingles, which generally only last 15-25 years. Metal roofs can withstand high winds, heavy storms, hurricanes, and won’t ignite when struck by lightning. They’re resistant to insects, mildew, and rot. Metal roofs receive a Class A fire rating, the highest given.
Energy efficient:
Metal roofs reflect solar heat; this can cut house-hold energy costs dramatically. An extra layer of space can be added under the metal roof for better insulation.
