The Advantages of Metal Roofing Metal roofs are very durable. They can sustain up to 140 mph winds without experiencing damage. Certain types of metal roofs can also withstand impact damage. Metal roofs are long-lasting, In part because of their durability, metal roofs can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years.
The right choice for coastal or windy areas, screw-down metal roof panels come in a few styles, all with the same purpose of protecting your home against damage from high winds. A metal roof consists of interlocking metal panels that fit together to fully cover the roof of a property. The secure interlocking of these panels reduces the ability of high winds to gust into the roof space, while the tough texture also helps prevent leaks.
Unlike traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, which absorb heat, metal reflects the sun’s energy, lowering the temperature inside your home. In fact, some metal roofing products can lower your home’s indoor temperature by as much as 25 degrees. A metal roof can save homeowners between 10 and 25 percent on the cost of heating and cooling their homes. Metal roofing is among the most energy-efficient roofing materials available in Canada. Modern metal roofing products can reflect the sun’s rays away from the home, reducing the need for additional cooling equipment.
Metal is such a lightweight roofing product that you can be sure that the overall weight of the roof will not adversely affect the overall structural integrity of your home. This is particularly important if your home was built long before current standards for roof support.
As a homeowner, you can never be too prepared for strong gusts of wind. Fires can happen suddenly and without warning. And, when they do, it can put your home and family at risk. Metal roofs are naturally fire-resistant, thanks to their metal and non-combustible properties. Metal offers many benefits. It’s naturally strong, durable, and long-lasting, which means it’s less likely to bend or break as a result of fire damage. If a fire does break out, a metal building can help minimize damage by acting as a barrier, stopping the fire from spreading. Metal roofs can also protect your home’s interior from fire and heat, reducing the risk of smoke damage.
Many homeowners worry that a metal roof is such a departure from tradition, it simply will not look right in their neighborhoods. The good news is there are many new styles and colors available – and the range of options means there’s something for every type of home.If you’re looking for a new metal roof panel, or just want to know your options, this is the place to start.
