Gone are the days when metal roofs were considered suitable only for commercial buildings, and in fact, they’re 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 here’s 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; that’s 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 don’t 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. • They’re 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 that’s 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.
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, they’re a great environmentally friendly choice.
