Metal Roofs

What Are the Benefits of Metal Roofing?

Durability
Metal roofs are incredibly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions without cracking, breaking, or getting damaged. Depending on the material, they can last 40 to 70 years, which is significantly longer than traditional asphalt roofing.
Fire Resistance
Metal roofs are noncombustible and have a Class A fire rating, the highest rating offered. This means they are resistant to severe fire exposure, adding an extra layer of protection to your home.
Energy Efficiency
Metal roofs reflect solar heat, reducing cooling costs during the summer months. Some types of metal roofing are also treated with a special coating that enhances their energy efficiency.
Environmentally Friendly
Metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life. This makes them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to other roofing materials that end up in landfills.
Few Maintenance Requirements
Unlike other roofing materials, metal roofs require minimal maintenance, saving homeowners time and money on upkeep costs.

What Does a Metal Roof Look Like?

When most people picture a metal roof, they likely imagine a flat, shiny surface that clashes with the home beneath it.
The truth is that metal roofs are diverse in design and can take on different appearances depending on the style and type of metal used. They can range from the traditional standing seam style, which is characterized by raised interlocking seams that join the metal panels together, to styles that mimic the look of slate, clay tiles, shingles, or even wood. These options allow you to enjoy the benefits of metal while fitting the aesthetic of traditional roofing materials.

The metal itself can be finished in an array of colors, from standard grays, blacks, and browns to more vibrant hues like green, blue, or red. This color versatility enables you to match your roof with the rest of your home's exterior. Furthermore, some metal roofing options are designed with a special texture or coating to give them a unique look, like a matte finish or a shiny reflective surface.

In terms of material, popular options include steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. Each material offers a different visual appeal. For instance, copper roofs age to develop a distinctive green patina over time, while zinc often forms a protective layer known as 'zinc bloom' when exposed to the elements. All in all, metal roofs can adapt to a wide range of architectural styles and personal preferences, providing both aesthetic appeal and functionality.
