Important Facts to Know About Metal Roofing Systems

Metal roofing has now become one of the most popular roof replacement options. In the past, it was typically used in commercial applications, but today, more and more homeowners are investing in one. Also, there are now metal roofs that look like traditional asphalt shingles. 

Metal Roofs Are Not Noisier Than Asphalt Roofing

A common misconception about metal roofs is that they are noisier than asphalt shingles when it rains or hails. The truth is that properly installed metal roofs are no noisier than a typical asphalt roof. Metal roofs are usually installed over a solid substrate. If your attic is well-insulated, you should barely notice any should when rain or hail falls. 

Metal Roofs Are Cost-Effective

The long lifespan of metal roofing is mainly what makes it sustainable. As long as your roofing contractor installs it correctly, and you maintain it routinely, it can last for at least 50 years. People who choose this material rarely have the need to replace it over their stay in the house. While a metal roof may cost more than a standard asphalt roof, it lasts significantly longer. 

Metal Roofs Can Help You Save on Energy Costs

Studies show that metal roofing is highly reflective, which can help reduce your cooling costs by up to 25%. This can be especially beneficial to people who are living in areas where cooling costs are higher. You can further improve the reflective properties of your roof and save more on energy costs by coating your metal roof with a shiny or granular coating.
