\"MetalWe\u2019re not sure if there\u2019s an area in America that has perfect, mild weather all year long, but we do know that the Lakeland FL region isn\u2019t it.\u00a0 Around here, residents endure blistering heat and pounding rains during the summer months.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not only residents: the roofs on our homes and businesses<\/a> also must endure the intensity of the weather.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, most roofing styles are negatively affected by storms & intense weather conditions.\u00a0 Asphalt shingles can decompose in the glaring sun and start flying away in the wind in less than a decade; clay tiles quickly fade and give off a blotched, unhealthy appearance.\u00a0 Metal roofs, on the other hand, hold up quite well against Mother Nature and all her antics.<\/p>\n

Destructive wind and hail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people don\u2019t know it, but today\u2019s metal roofing systems are built to withstand winds of up to 150 miles per hour<\/a> \u2013 the equivalent of an F2 tornado.\u00a0 These roofs also are highly resilient against hail and all the damage it can cause.\u00a0 Due to the nature of their components and installation, most other types of roofs can suffer significant damage when Mother Nature sends high winds and hail.<\/p>\n

Intense heat from the rays of the sun<\/strong><\/p>\n

Florida is called \u201cThe Sunshine State\u201d for a good reason \u2013 we get tons of sun.\u00a0 And along with it, heat.\u00a0 Have you ever put some fish or chicken pieces on a metal tray to bake in the oven and then left it a little too long?\u00a0 The meat starts curling at the edges, becomes tough and gets burned.\u00a0 But you\u2019ll notice that the metal pan is just fine and ready to serve you for many years to come.\u00a0 That\u2019s the difference between asphalt shingles and metal roofing when the heat is cranked up for long periods of time.<\/p>\n

Heat absorption<\/strong><\/p>\n

When there\u2019s high heat beaming down on a roof, that heat has to go somewhere.\u00a0 With most traditional roofing materials, the heat is absorbed, creating an oven-like atmosphere inside the home.\u00a0 Air conditions have to run longer and higher, and utility bills can get out of control.\u00a0 Metal roofs, on the other hand, actually reflect<\/em> the heat of the sun, pushing it away from the roof and back into the air where it belongs.\u00a0 Owners of homes with metal roofs in the Lakeland area enjoy cooler summers indoors and nice savings on their utility bills.<\/p>\n

House fires<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pensacolaWhen a house catches on fire, traditional roofing materials cause a serious problem.\u00a0 They ignite quickly, disintegrate and then collapse into the open areas of the home, adding huge amounts of fuel to the existing fire.\u00a0 Metal roof panels interlock and form a strong overlay during a fire.\u00a0 In addition, metal roofs will not catch on fire the way asphalt shingles will.\u00a0 The simple fact is, there is no better roof during a house fire than a well-built, correctly installed metal roof.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s metal roofs typically outlast other roofs by 30 to 50 years.\u00a0 They hold up well against all of Mother Nature\u2019s threats and maintain their good looks for decades.\u00a0 If you want to know more about the benefits of a sturdy metal roof, contact the experts at Advanced Aluminum in Lakeland.\u00a0 We provide the best in metal roofing materials to our region\u2019s top contractors.\u00a0 Call us today at (863) 648-5787.<\/p>\n
