\"gainesvilleLike most products that are in a growth stage and have yet to reach saturation, metal roofs<\/a> are subject to a number of misconceptions.\u00a0 Here are some facts about metal roofs you\u2019ll be glad to know when it\u2019s time to start thinking about adding a new roof to your home.<\/p>\n

Appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think of metal roofing, don\u2019t think of an old barn with a glaring tin roof on it.\u00a0 Today\u2019s metal roofs are sleek and attractive with a number of styles, finishes and colors available.\u00a0 When professionally installed, metal roofs can make you do a double-take before you realize that it\u2019s actually metal you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n

Sound investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metal is initially more expensive than other roofing materials, but you have to remember that a metal roof will provide excellent performance for 50 or more years.\u00a0 It\u2019s not uncommon for an asphalt shingle roof to need replacing after just 10 to 15 years.\u00a0 Money is saved in the long run with a metal roof, while you avoid the life-disruption of multiple re-roofing projects.<\/p>\n

Resale value<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metal roofs add real value to a home when it\u2019s on the market. \u00a0Buyers like the idea of a long-lasting roof that requires little maintenance and virtually no repair.\u00a0 Many buyers will see a metal roof as an important element of their investment and be willing to pay more.<\/p>\n

The cooling factor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the blazing summer sun, metal roofs absorb only a fraction of the heat that asphalt shingles do.\u00a0 The majority of the heat is actually reflected away<\/em> from the roof, making the home\u2019s interior cooler and thereby saving the homeowner money on cooling costs.<\/p>\n

Rust-resistant<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aluminum and metallic paint that manufacturers add to metal roofing material make them highly resistant to rust across many decades of service.<\/p>\n

Good in a hail storm<\/strong><\/p>\n

The weight and speed of hail that would be necessary to even slightly dent a metal roof would destroy a roof with asphalt shingles or decorator tiles.\u00a0 Metal is simply the strongest, most durable roofing material available.<\/p>\n

No problem with wind<\/strong><\/p>\n

A quality metal roof can withstand winds<\/a> of up to 150 miles per hour, which is equivalent to an H2 tornado.\u00a0 Traditional shingle and tile roofs can suffer severe damage in winds a lot slower than 150 mph.<\/p>\n

\"FLSafe in lightning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metal is not<\/em> a lightning attractor, but it is<\/em> a great conductor of it.\u00a0 Lightning normally strikes the highest point in an area, meaning it will probably hit a tree before it hits a house.\u00a0 If it does<\/em> hit a house with a metal roof, the energy is spread throughout the roof.\u00a0 If lightning hits asphalt shingles, the point of impact takes the full brunt of the energy and can easily lead to great damage or a fire.<\/p>\n

Quiet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metal roofs are usually installed over original roofs with a space between the two coverings.\u00a0 This causes a significant reduction in interior noise during heavy rains or hail.<\/p>\n
