Three Truths About Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is commonly seen in industrial buildings, but it’s also a great option for residential properties. Peak Roofing & Construction offers standing seam and corrugated metal roofs, as well as metal shingles. While you may be concerned about the noise or other factors of a metal roof, this material offers some surprising benefits.
Lower Insurance Rates
Available from an experienced Frisco roofer, a metal roof may reward you with lower homeowner’s insurance rates. This is because metal is fireproof and lightweight. It puts less strain on the structure, and a fire at the neighbor’s house is less likely to spread to a metal roof. If you aren’t sure how much you can save on insurance premiums, call your agent to ask if they offer discounts for metal roofs. In the winter, snow does not build up on the roof, and that helps prevent ice dams.
The Green Option
An eco-friendly residential roofing option, metal is better for environment. This is because it can be made from recycled metal, and the roofing material can be recycled when it reaches the end of its life. It also lasts longer, so it won’t have to be replaced as often. In fact, you can expect a metal roof to last twice as long as your asphalt roof. This allows you to save on materials and labor, and that’s exciting news for anyone who is trying to help the environment.
Lower Utility Bills
Prepare to pay lower utility bills by making the switch to a metal roof. Metal reflects the heat from the sun and stops the transmission of radiant heat. Your attic stays cooler, and that makes it easier to cool the interior of your home. In addition to saving on maintenance and replacement over the years, you will also notice a drop in your home utility costs.
