While many misconceptions still exist regarding metal roofing materials, this style of roofing is gaining wider recognition for its many exceptional advantages. Here are just a few ways that this kind of roofing stands out as the cream of the crop.

​

Reduced Fire Risk

​

Compared with asphalt shingles or other conventional materials, the risk of fire from metal roofing is practically negligible. Metal doesn't burn, which means that your house is much safer. Don't just trust me, trust the pros in the insurance business. In many states, having a metal roof means that your homeowner's insurance is reduced. Add this to the fact that your roof can laugh off a lightning strike and what you get is a solid, low-risk roofing material.

 

Heat Conduction

​

Metal is naturally reflective, meaning that when light from the sun shines down, a metal roof will bounce much of it back into the atmosphere. More reflection equals less heat that gets into your home. And that turns into lower energy bills since less power is being used to run the air conditioning. Especially during hot summer months, metal roofing will lower your costs.
