as homeowners look for ways to reduce environmental impact, metal roofing stands out as a logical choice. Here are some other trends that are driving the growing popularity of metal roofs:

DESIGN AESTHETICS: Metal roofs are available in a wide range of colors and styles, including options that can mimic slate, clay tile and even wood shakes and asphalt, all while providing the long-term, low-maintenance performance and protection of metal. A metal roof also compliments a wide range of architectural styles. EFFICIENCY: Many people don’t realize that a metal roof is more energy efficient than an asphalt roof. Most metal roofing finishes are EnergyStar rated, signifiying the panels will reflect rather than absorb heat. This can reduce energy costs by keeping your home cooler in the summer.

WEATHER PROTECTION: If you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes or harsh climates, metal roofing can help to protect your house from winds up to 145 mph, severe storms and hail. Many insurances companies provide discounts on homes that have a qualified metal roofing system. LONGEVITY: A metal roof can last two to three times longer than an asphalt roof, possibly a lifetime. SUSTAINABLE: Metal roofing is fully recyclable. It also works well with the implementation of solar panels to the roof–especially when you consider that an asphalt roof will need replacing in about 10 years, which means the added labor of removing solar panels.
