Reasons to Invest in Metal Roofing

July 15, 2018 by Gerry Donaghue

When it comes to roofing materials, you have many options, including slate, tile, clay and asphalt. One of the best options, however, is metal. Metal roofing comes with many benefits, including its light weight, easy installation and fire resistance. If you’re torn between the different roofing options, however, consider the top four reasons that most homeowners ultimately go with metal.

 

 

It’s Durable

The average roof lasts for ten to twenty years, which is not bad, but if you want to invest in a new roof that won’t have to be replaced again in your lifetime, go with metal. Because metal is water and heat resistant, it can last anywhere between 40 and 70 years. Though it is a little more expensive than other roofing materials, it’s durability and longevity make it a worthwhile investment.

 

It’s Energy Efficient  

In addition to being cost-friendly in the long term, metal roofs are also energy efficient. Metal roofing reflects the sun’s rays and prevents heat transfer, whereas typical asphalt roofs soak up the sun’s heat. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint and save on your future energy bills, consider having a metal roof installed.

 

It Sheds “Weight”

Most roofing materials hold onto snow, and asphalt shingles soak up moisture when it rains. This makes your roof heavier, and shortens its lifespan considerably. A metal roof, on the other hand, sheds that weight easily. Because metal is a naturally slippery surface, any snow, rain or debris will slide right off, ensuring that your roof isn’t unnecessarily weighed down.

 

It’s Lightweight

Some roofing materials, such as clay and tile, require additional structural support to be added to the home because they’re so heavy. However, because metal is so lightweight, it can be applied directly over an existing roof without adding too much weight to your home’s structure.

 

If you need to replace your roof soon, consider replacing it with metal. Metal roofing comes with many benefits, but it’s durability, energy efficiency, slippery surface and light weight are the top four.

Asphalt roofing is a popular type of roofing material. It comes as shingles like many other roofing options, and the asphalt refers to the actual material used to coat the shingle.

 

There are two common types of asphalt shingles. One common type is the glass fiber asphalt shingle. This type of shingle is formed from a glass mat to give the shape of a shingle, and it is then coated with asphalt to add the waterproof layer. This is necessary to keep rain and other precipitation from leaking through your roof and damaging underlying structures.
