\"MetalAdding a new roof to your home or business is a big undertaking. And it\u2019s not only the initial investment to consider but also what a given type of roof will cost you down the line with repairs, maintenance and preserving its good looks. There are many reasons more and more people are going with metal for their new roofs, and we\u2019re going to show you why metal roofing<\/a> is simply a superior choice.<\/p>\n

Roof-lifetime comparisons<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A traditional asphalt shingle roof will give you 10 to 20 years of service, depending on many factors. A new metal roof likely will perform well for 40 or 50 or more years. Metal is virtually indestructible, and with the advanced coatings and manufacturing systems available, it just keeps on looking great, year after year.<\/p>\n

Reflect the heat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Contrary to popular misconception, a properly built metal roof will not<\/em> attract heat and act as a blanket over your home in hot weather. Rather, the coated metal material reflects<\/em> the heat from the sun, making your home cooler and saving you on cooling costs every summer.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Hail-resistant<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hail can streak to earth at 100 miles per hour, which is plenty fast enough to begin breaking apart asphalt shingles and clay tiles. When this happens, water can seep into the breaks and begin rotting materials below the shingles. A sturdy metal roof may<\/em> suffer some dents in a major<\/em> hail storm, but there is no hail yet recorded that\u2019s powerful enough to break through metal.<\/p>\n

Long-term beauty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"MetalWhen you think of a metal roof, don\u2019t think of the tin roofs you see on old barns and outbuildings. Today\u2019s metal roofing material is beautiful to look at and can be customized with many shapes and colors. Your home or business can have a roof that amazingly resembles clay tiles, shingles or basic panels \u2013 but it will look better for far longer than traditional roofing materials.<\/p>\n

Metal roofs are quiet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rain and hail hitting metal makes a loud noise, but not when they hit a properly built metal roof, which has a layer of solid sheeting beneath it. This drowns out the majority of storm noise as well or better than any asphalt shingle roof.<\/p>\n

Let the wind blow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Because of metal\u2019s superior durability and the fastening process involved in metal roof installation, these roofs are virtually impervious to heavy winds. Clay tiles and asphalt shingles will tear away during a major wind storm, while metal roofing stands its ground and looks just as good after the storm as before it.<\/p>\n

In case of fire<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Just about every material that goes into home construction will burn during a fire. Except metal. Metal has a very high fire-resistance<\/a> quotient, which means it won\u2019t catch fire and cause considerably more damage in the event of a house fire. Asphalt singles are fire-resistant, but they will burn, and when they do, a serious problem can quickly become a life-threatening catastrophe when the weight of large roof sections comes flaming down into the home.<\/p>\n
