\"beautifulThis is a question more and more homeowners are asking\u00a0themselves as we as\u00a0a population move toward a more eco-aware mindset.\u00a0\u00a0And if you\u2019re\u00a0not\u00a0asking\u00a0yourself this question, you should be, because the type\u00a0of roofing material used\u00a0on roofs in America has a significant impact on the\u00a0environment<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0drawback to asphalt shingles<\/span><\/h2>\n

Shingles made of asphalt are very common atop American\u00a0homes.\u00a0\u00a0They do a\u00a0good job keeping water\u00a0out of the house, but that\u2019s about where their benefits\u00a0end.\u00a0\u00a0Problems start when you consider that\u00a07 million\u00a0U.S. homes each year\u00a0have a\u00a0new roof put on \u2013 a large number of these being roofs with asphalt\u00a0shingles,\u00a0which are a non-renewable, petroleum product.\u00a0\u00a0What\u2019s the impact?<\/span><\/p>\n

The initial impact is\u00a011\u00a0million tons\u00a0of asphalt singles added to our landfills each\u00a0year.\u00a0\u00a0The future impact of this massive dump year\u00a0after year can only be\u00a0guessed at, but none of the scenarios are good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal\u00a0roofing advantages<\/span><\/h2>\n

As homeowners learn more about the benefits and advantages of\u00a0metal roofs,\u00a0they see this roofing product as the only smart choice now and\u00a0into the coming\u00a0decades.\u00a0\u00a0Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Metal roofing is one of the most eco-friendly roofing\u00a0solutions from a waste-reduction standpoint. (This from the Florida Department\u00a0of Environmental\u00a0Protection.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0With a lifespan of up to 60 years, metal roofs last\u00a0about three times as long as\u00a0asphalt shingle roofs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Metal roofing material often contains as much as 40 percent\u00a0recycled steels, and\u00a0the entire material is 100 percent recyclable when it is\u00a0no longer suited to\u00a0perform as a roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Another eco-friendly aspect of metal roofs is their\u00a0efficiency in keeping the heat\u00a0of the sun out of the home.\u00a0\u00a0Many studies show that metal roofing has much\u00a0higher reflexivity than other types of roofing and knocks as much as 40 percent\u00a0off utility bills.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is\u00a0metal roofing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"metalThe term \u201cmetal\u201d can refer to various components including\u00a0galvanized steel,\u00a0copper, aluminum and tin.\u00a0\u00a0All of these materials are ultra-strong and offer\u00a0higher performance in\u00a0severe weather and wind than traditional asphalt\u00a0shingles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Modern metal roofs are available in a variety of styles, from\u00a0pre-cut panels to\u00a0small, square designs that amazingly resemble Mediterranean\u00a0tile.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0These roofs\u00a0can be painted in a\u00a0wide range of colors to match the exterior aesthetics of any\u00a0home, and\u00a0specialized coatings are applied to enhance reflexivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we become more environmentally conscious and base an\u00a0increasing number\u00a0of our buying decisions on how the products we use affect the\u00a0eco-system now\u00a0and in the future, we\u2019re beginning to see the value of metal\u00a0roofing.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe you\u00a0should look into this\u00a0sustainable technology before it\u2019s time for your next roof\u00a0replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n
