It’s natural for a homeowner to want the best products installed on their home sourced from top window companies and roofing manufacturers. Picking quality components helps enhance your home’s protection against harsh weather and the elements. One of these components is metal roofs. This type of roof is known for its durability, longevity and versatility.
Read on as we discuss things you should know about metal roofing.
Much like asphalt shingles, metal roofing comes in a wide variety of styles and colors. Contrary to popular belief, they aren’t limited to their default finish. The roofing material can be coated with any amount of colors to match your home’s style and give it a fresh pop. They are also not limited to a single style. While vertical seam panels are the most common, metal roofing can also take the form of shakes, shingles, tiles, or slate.
A metal roof that is installed and maintained properly can last for around 100 years. These roofs are durable enough even under poor weather conditions. You rarely need to contact your siding replacement and roof maintenance contractor if your metal roof is taken care of. It’s also made up of a significant amount of recycled materials and reflects solar heat and sunlight, helping you save on cooling and heating costs.
A common myth about metal roofs is that they are louder than asphalt shingles during the rainy season. On the contrary, metal roofs are quieter than asphalt roofs because they are installed with a sheathing attached below the underlayment. Another myth is that metal roofs attract lightning. Installing metal roofs doesn’t increase the likelihood of a lightning strike because lightning tends to strike the tallest objects. In the event of a strike, the energy would be spread throughout the entire structure.
