WHY METAL ROOFS ARENT JUST FOR COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS

• Gone are the days when metal roofs were
  considered suitable only for commercial
  buildings, and in fact, theyre currently going
  through something of a renaissance. While many
  commercial buildings do of course, have metal
  roofs, more and more homeowners are choosing them
  for their homes, and heres why
• The benefits of metal roofs for residential
  properties
• There are several benefits of metal roofs, and
  below are the most popular
• They can be installed over your old roof
• Homeowners looking to save money and avoid having
  their old roof ripped off and disposed of, will
  be happy to know that in some cases, a metal roof
  can be installed over an existing roof, and this
  is due in part to its lightweight structure.

• Metal roofs are incredibly durable
• On average, a metal roof will remain in place and
  performing well, for as long as 50 years thats
  half a century! Lasting for as much as 5 times
  longer than an asphalt shingle roof, their
  longevity contributes heavily towards their
  popularity.
• Flame retardant
• Resistant to flames, and impervious to termites,
  metal roofs bring a whole new meaning to the word
  protection.

• Metal roofs dont split
• Wood shakes, while an attractive material for a
  roof, have a tendency to split, crack and warp,
  and this is never good as far as a roof is
  concerned. Metal roofs, on the other hand, suffer
  from none of these problems.
• Theyre low maintenance
• Your metal roof can be cleaned with water alone,
  making it exceptionally low maintenance. You may
  need to repaint it during the course of its
  lifespan, but thats about it when it comes to
  maintenance.

• Budget friendly
• There are many different types of metal used in
  residential roofing, and many of them are
  affordable for those on even the tightest of
  budgets. Galvanized steel is a popular choice due
  to its affordability, while aluminum is also
  popular, but costs a little more. However, if you
  reside in a coastal area, aluminum will prove far
  more resistant to saltwater spray.
• Fantastic insulators
• Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are
  actually highly effective insulators, and can
  help to keep your energy bills as low as possible.

6

• Your metal roof can be recycled
• Many more people today try to make
  environmentally conscious choices when it comes
  to selecting the material they use for their
  roof, and because metal roofs can be recycled far
  easier than other materials, theyre a great
  environmentally friendly choice.
• If youre looking for a durable and
  easy-to-maintain material for your new roof,
  metal could be the way to go. No longer reserved
  only for commercial buildings, your local Atlas
