A few fun facts about METAL ROOFING .

Aluminum is one of the best metals to use for roofs located in the coastal areas, where there is a heavy presence of salt spray in the environment.

1.Unlike many other roofing materials, a metal roof can easily be installed in the winter.

2. Modern metal roofs come in well over 100 colors, which include standard, premium and custom made options. The number of color options for metal roofing is a lot greater than the options you get with asphalt shingles roofs (only about 15-20 standard colors).

3.Metal roofs last for at least 50 years, with many lasting well over 100. This means that a typical metal roof lasts about 3-7 times longer than a typical asphalt shingles roof, which usually needs to replaced every 12-17 years.


4. Metal roofs will protect your house against hurricane level winds. Many have a wind resistance ratings of 110-160 mph.

5. Metal roofs will not rot, split, crack, dry-out, chip, warp, leak, unlike all other common roofing materials.

6.Generally metal roofs require none or minimal maintenance.

  7.A metal roof has a cool reflective surface, which reflects solar heat back into the atmosphere, rather than absorbing it inside a home or a building.

8. Metal roofing is the only TRULY green material in the roofing industry, because it uses the least amount of resources during the manufacturing process, contains no petroleum by-products, and can always be recycled.New metal roofs may contain anywhere from 30-60% of recycled metal content, and are 100% recyclable at the end of their service lives.
Old metal roofs will never end up in our landfills at the end of their service lives, thus saving the ever-precious landfill space and helping protect the environment.A metal roof (or any metal for that matter) can be recycled an unlimited number of times without suffering material degradation.


 9. A metal roof will not increase the likelihood of your home getting struck by a lightning.
If a lightning does strike your home, a metal roof will safely dissipate the electric charge even if it is not grounded.
