Introduction

• If you are going in for roof restoration, then
  you should choose metal roofs as they would be
  ideal for the weather in Melbourne and prove to
  be energy efficient during summers as well as
  winter.
• Since the weather conditions can be extreme in
  this region, it is wise to opt for a metal roof
  in order to keep your house cool in summers and
  warm in winters.
• Even if your plan for roof repairs, you can
  always use the metal material which will help you
  in saving energy and cost, especially if you are
  living in Melbourne as it is prone to harsh
  weather conditions.
• There are many pros and cons to getting metal
  roofing, in terms of energy efficiency.

4
Pros

• Longer durability
• A metal roof can last as long as the life of the
  house and you would not have to get it repaired
  or changed time and again.
• Weight
• Metal roofs are more lightweight compared to
  tiles or any other kind of material and hence are
  easy to handle.
• Ease of installation
• Metal roofs have a simple process of installation
  and do not take time as there are metal sheets
  that are installed at the roof. You can also save
  on the cost of installation and labor as it takes
  fewer days to install.

Pros

• Heat conduction
• Metal roofs reflect radiant heat from the sun and
  are good conductors of heat, making you save the
  air conditioned bills by keeping the house cooler
  in summers, especially during the day.
• Fire resistant
• Metal roofs are non-combustible in nature and
  hence are resistant to fire, keeping your house
  more safe and secure.

6
Cons

• Noise
• Metal roofs can be a bit of a distraction during
  rainy and snow season as the noise of the
  droplets against the metal could annoy the people
  living inside the house.
• Cost
• The initial cost of installation of metal roofs
  is higher and would cost as much as a premium
  roofing material.
• Denting
• If large hailstones fall on the metal roofs, they
  could leave dents in the roof and this is one of
  the major drawbacks of metal roofing.

7
Cons

• Repairs
• Since the metal roofs are installed in large
  sheets, it would be difficult to repair or
  replace them as it is not on tiling basis.

8
Conclusion

• While choosing metal roofs, you should keep all
  the pros and cons in mind in order to make an
  informed decision.
• Another important point is to choose the color of
  the metal roof.
• A light color roof would be more efficient in
  reflecting the suns rays than a darker colored
  roof and hence would help you save energy and
  make your house more efficient. White metal is
  supposed to be the best color for metal roofing.
