Metal roofs are highly energy efficient. In fact, you can save up to 40% on your energy bills with metal roofing. Metal also provides increased insulation during the winter months. The same can’t be said, unfortunately, for shingle roofs. So, if you are looking for ways to drastically lower your electric bill, getting a metal roof or installing metal roof over shingles may be the wise move to make.
When you compare metal roofs to more traditional roofing, like shingles, you get dramatically different results, especially when it comes to the lifespan of the materials. The average lifespan of a metal roof is about 50 years or a little greater, while other roofing materials may only last a couple decades, at most. So you see, while metal roof costs can be high, your investment will stretch much further over time.
A metal roof installation lends an attractive sheen to any style home. If you are looking to differentiate your house from the neighbors’ houses, metal roofing is certainly one way to do it. Metal roofing can be installed in a variety of colors and styles, so you are free to stretch your creativity as far as your budget will allow.
Metal roofs don’t just look tough. The metal sheeting that comprises the roof of a home can withstand winds of up to 140-mph. Some brands of metal roofing can withstand gusts of up to 180 mph.
