THE TOP 4 REASONS WHY A METAL ROOF COULD BENEFIT
YOUR HOME

• If youre considering replacing your roof or are
  building a new home and wondering what type of
  roof would work best for it, then just like
  millions of other American homeowners today,
  youre doubtless considering a metal roof.
• There are many reasons why metal roofs are
  proving so popular today, but here are the top 4
• 1.Built to last and designed to be strong
• Metal roofs have a much longer lifespan than
  those made of other materials, and when
  professionally installed, a metal roof will
  typically survive for as long as the house it
  sits upon, with an average lifespan of 40 to 70
  years.

• Compare this to the average lifespan of a
  traditional asphalt roof at just 12 to 20 years,
  and you can see why metal roofs and their
  strength and durability have proved popular. Able
  to withstand gusts of wind up to 140 miles an
  hour and neither corrode nor crack due to their
  rust-proof coatings, metal roofs are built with
  strength and longevity in mind.
• 2.Friendly to the environment
• With their high dependency on fossil fuels, and
  requirement to be replaced an average of every 15
  to 20 years, traditional asphalt roofs often end
  up languishing in landfill sites, according to
  the Environmental Protection Agency.

• Compared to metal roofs which typically consist
  of at least 25 recycled materials and are 100
  recyclable, its easy to see why a metal roof can
  help you do your bit for the environment.
• If youre an environmentally conscientious
  homeowner and wish to begin using solar panels
  and rainwater harvesting systems, then a metal
  roof can prove to be the perfect conduit for
  this. With some metal roofs being incredibly
  lightweight, they can also be installed directly
  over the existing asphalt shingles saving the
  effort and environmental waste of simply tearing
  down the old roof and dumping at a landfill site.

• 3.Energy efficient
• Most homes with a metal roof can save their
  owners a huge amount in monthly cooling and
  heating costs, thanks to its powerfully
  reflective properties. Reflecting solar rays
  rather than absorbing them as other roofs do, the
  average homeowners summer cooling costs can be
  reduced by more than a quarter, and if the metal
  roof has come with a reflective coating, it will
  further minimize heat gain and lower energy bills
  even more.

• 4.Good looking!
• With a wide choice of materials available for
  metal roofs today, ranging from tin and zinc to
  copper and steel, and a mind boggling selection
  of colors, finishes and shapes, modern metal
  roofs can add a tasteful design element to your
  home, in a way that conventional asphalt shingle
  cannot. With the most popular metals used for
  roofs being steel and aluminium, both can hold
  paint finishes well and homeowners can choose
  from up to 100 different colors!
