If you\u2019ve been looking into metal roofing and the benefits it can bring to any home or business, you\u2019ve probably heard about insulated metal panels. All metal roofs involve the installation of panels or pieces of the roofing material. The way the sections are made, however, can play a big part in the performance you get from your metal roof.

\"GreenThe difference between insulated and single-skin metal panels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Single-skin metal panels and insulated panels differ only in the addition of an insulating layer. The insulation adds thermal control to the panels that helps to keep air, moisture and heat outside of the home or other structure.<\/p>\n

Any roof covering will do this job to some degree, but insulated metal panel roofs are especially effective. Air, moisture and heat are three elements that people don\u2019t want getting into the interior of their homes. Infiltrating heat causes discomfort and more use of the AC system. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth. Air coming in will affect the interior air temperature at any time of year.<\/p>\n

Single-skin metal roofing panels with specialized coatings also guard against air, moisture and heat infiltration, but not as effectively as insulated metal panels.<\/p>\n
