Eco-friendly Environmental-friendly products saw a huge increase in popularity in the mid-2000s and since then, metal roofing has become increasingly the favourite choice of those seeking the most eco-friendly roof. To start with, metal roof panels are made from large percentages of recycling material. So the product itself is eco-friendly and then, after a metal roof has exceeded its life span, the metal roof panels can be recycled in their entirety.

That’s because metal roofing’s advanced modeling does a better job, when compared to asphalt shingles, at keeping the house warm in the face of winter and cool during the more bothersome summer months.
