Some of the advantages of Metal Roofing are:
Good Investment: There is no doubt that the initial cost for a metal roof is higher than most other roofing materials, but in future you can save a lot. A metal roof can last a lifetime, whereas materials like asphalt require reproofing every 10 to 20 years. A metal roof can also increase the resale value of your home.
Long Warranties: In case of metal roofing, you can get manufacturer warranty of 30 to 50 year plus a workmanship warranty from the installer.
Light Weight: A major cause of damage to other type of roofing is their excessive weight. This excess weight is due to the patching or repairing of roofs by placing a new sheet of shingles directly over an old one. Excessive weigh causes the roof to sag and once it sags, there’s no other option than full roofing replacement.
Durable and low Maintenance: Residential metal roofing requires very little maintenance and can last up to 2 to 3 times the lifespan of an average asphalt shingle roof.
Energy Efficient: Metal roofing in both light and dark colors reflects heat effectively to reduce cooling loads in the summer and insulate homes during the winter. This can help to lower energy bills.
Good for Harsh Weather: Residential metal roofing is hail resistant and wind resistant. Metal roofs hold up against hurricanes far better than shingle roofs. And coatings can be tailored to specific environments. Metal roofing is also fire and spark resistant.
Recyclable: Metal roof is readily recyclable. Many aluminium and copper roofing products are available with upwards of 95% recycled content. And metal roofing materials can be ordered already cut to size, which means less construction waste.
