Home Owner Benefits of Metal Roofing.

Metal roofs are attractive in appearance and come in a broad spectrum of colors and designs.
Metal roofing is non-combustible and provides fire resistance. It has received an A or B fire rating from several code bodies. It has also received high ratings from Underwriters Laboratory.
Metal roofs are low maintenance and long lasting, resisting decay, discoloration and mildew.
Metal roofs have excellent performance in wind resistance, water, snow, and ice shedding. They are also hail resistant.

Metal roofs increase your home's resale value.

Metal roofs are energy efficient. Standing seam roofs can be insulated with almost any amount of insulation. Add the radiant barrier effect to this and they are the most energy efficient of any roofing system. Fiberglass blanket insulation is installed directly under the panels and stretched over the supporting structural members to reduce energy costs and dampen noise.

Foam insulation blocks also can be used between roof panels and substructures to prevent thermal loss, with a natural radiant barrier effect. Radiant Barriers block the transfer of heat from the sun to your attic. Heat travels through your attic primarily as radiant energy, rather than by conduction or convection. The heat conducts to the underside of the roof deck and radiates down to the top of the ceiling insulation, then into the room below. A radiant barrier (e.g., metal roof) between the Sun and the ceiling insulation breaks the chain. A radiant barrier reflects 97% of the radiant heat back up to where it came from..
