Metal Roofing - A Durable and Sustainable Choice
Metal Roofing has become increasingly popular for both commercial and residential buildings in recent years. Made from steel, aluminum, copper, or other metals, metal roofs offer some key advantages over traditional asphalt shingle or tile roofs.
Durability
One of the biggest advantages of Metal Roofing sheeting is its exceptional durability. When properly installed, a metal roof can last 50 years or more with little to no maintenance. In comparison, asphalt shingles typically need to be replaced every 15-20 years. This longer lifespan means that metal roofs provide great long-term value for the initial investment.
Metal is not vulnerable to things that can damage other roofing materials like hail, high winds, fire, and exposure to the elements. It will not crack, split, rot, or degrade over time like wood shakes or asphalt shingles. Metal roofs are also highly resistant to damage from foot traffic, falling tree branches or other debris. This durability means fewer repairs and replacement costs over the lifetime of the roof.
Low Maintenance
In addition to being highly durable, metal sheeting requires little ongoing maintenance. Without exposed seams or joints, there are fewer places for leaks to occur. Metal does not support mold, mildew or algae growth like organic roofing materials, so it stays clean and does not need to be power washed. Normal rainfall is usually enough to clear away dirt and debris.
Occasional inspection is still recommended, but otherwise a metal roof is essentially maintenance-free once installed correctly. Homeowners save both time and money long-term versus the ongoing upkeep needs of other roofing materials.
