Metal roofs have long been used on public and large corporate buildings, but most residential roofs feature traditional shingles because of the initial cost of a metal roof. However, there are many long-term benefits to metal roofing that should be considered.
Durability
Metal roofs can last twice as long as asphalt shingle roofs and are much more resistant to wind and fire.
Energy Savings
Metal roofs that are light in color or unpainted reflect the sun's heat. This can save up to 40 percent on energy costs during the summer.
Lightweight
Most types of metal roofs are less than one-third the weight of a roof made with asphalt or fiberglass shingles.
Environmentally Friendly
Metal roofs are completely recyclable and can be made from recycled metal. Also, they can be placed directly over old roofs with shingles, which keeps the shingles from being dumped in a landfill.
Customizable
Metal roofs can come in many different colors and designs. They can even be made to look like shingles, slate, tile or wood roofs.
