Metals roofs are becoming more and more common. They keep noise levels down and have better temperature control than other roofing materials. Here are a few big reasons why metal roofing is taking off.
- Durable: Metal roofs are long lasting, fireproof and designed to withstand high winds, something important here in the Windy City! They also eliminate the chance of leaks and ongoing repairs.
- Energy-Efficient & Environmentally Friendly: Metal roofs reflect the sun, blocking heat from entering your attic. Homeowners who have chosen a metal roof have a 20-40% lower energy cost. Many metal roofing manufacturers are also using recyclable materials which benefits the environment.
- Appearance: Metal roofs can be made to look like traditional shingles or tiles. They come in various colors and styles, which gives consumers many options while making decisions for a roofing project.
- Cost: The initial cost of a metal roof is higher than a traditional shingle roof. However, the long-term benefits include low maintenance and lower energy costs, making a metal roof something to consider when beginning a roof renovation.
