If you are building a new home or replacing your roof in the foreseeable future, choosing a roof material and style can be difficult. Metal roofing is growing in popularity for many reasons, from its eco-friendly qualities to its superior strength and style. Here are six reasons why you should consider investing in metal roofing for your home: 1. Strength & Durability Although lightweight, the interlocking design of metal roofing enables shingles and panels to take on extreme weather conditions with ease. A metal roof can withstand strong winds, severe rain, snow and hail. The smooth metal surface helps the water slide straight off your roof and away from your home. 2. Built to Last A quality metal roof made from steel can protect your home for upwards of 50 years, which is impressive compared to alternative roofing materials, such as asphalt, tile and wood, which typically last up to 20 years. This long lifespan is often backed by a warranty. 3. Little to No Maintenance Metal is a low-maintenance roofing material due to its impressive durability. Most metal roofing products have a resin-based finish that is resistant to chalking, fading and staining. Unlike asphalt, steel shingles will never rot, curl or break over time. Forget cleaning – rain will naturally wash the dirt off the surface of metal shingles and sheets. 4. Environmentally Friendly & Energy Efficient Metal is an environmentally friendly roofing option made from mostly recycled materials. Old metal roofing can then be recycled again at the end of its lifespan to continue the cycle and help reduce landfill. Metal roofing is also highly energy-efficient and able to deflect heat in summer while remaining cool to the touch, reducing your energy bills. 5. Superior Fire Safety Metal roofing adds a level of protection to help keep you and your family safe from the risk of fire. Metal shingles and panels are non-combustible, which means your roof will never ignite when exposed to extreme heat. 6.
