When it comes to metal roofing benefits there are many. Typically found in residential roofing, rural ranch and farm type homes. In addition to entire roofs, metal roofing is often used to as an accent over a porch or window.
If you are considering buying a home with a metal roof, or thinking of installing one, here is what we know.
Metal roofs can be installed on most any roof style and have a fantastic curb appeal. Known for their longevity, minimal maintenance and energy efficiency. There is wide range of materials that include aluminum, copper and steel, that is also available in a variety of looks.
Metal Roof Benefits
- Longevity – One of the metal roofing benefits is lifespan and can last as long as 40-70 years, depending on material. While traditional asphalt shingles last between 10 – 20 years.
- Safety – Depending on where you live, some insurance companies can provide a modest discount because you have a metal roof. Metal roofs will not catch fire from flames, a wild fire or lighting strike.
- Energy Efficient – Metal roofs can reflect the UV rays from the sun, which can result in as much as a 25% reduction in cooling in the summer months.
- Environmentally Friendly – Most metal roofs are made with up to 95% recycled material, depending on the selected product. But, all are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan, avoiding the dump. Unlike other roofing materials.
