ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY METAL ROOFS
2
  • The entire home improvement industry makes some
    environmentally devastating contributions to
    landfills every single year, and unless our
    construction habits change, this damaging trend
    is set to continue.
  • However, if you want to break away from this
    trend and contribute to the planet in a more
    sustainable and environmentally friendly manner,
    you should consider alternative investments when
    upgrading your home or business premises,
    especially when it comes to roofing. Roofs are
    one part of a building that can have a very
    significant impact upon the environment, and you
    should always try to choose eco-friendly
    materials such as metal, when roofing, re-roofing
    or replacing your existing roof, and heres why

3
  • How a metal roof can help to reduce landfill
    waste
  • Replacing a roof on any kind of building, whether
    its your home or commercial premises, usually
    requires that the old one be torn off and
    disposed of, or at least parts of it. This simply
    adds to the already overflowing landfill sites
    and does absolutely nothing to aid the
    environment. Its estimated that around 20
    billion pounds of asphalt shingle finds its way
    to landfill sites every year, and it takes a
    whopping 300 years for the materials to
    decompose. By the time one years supply of old
    roofing materials has disintegrated, there will
    be a further six trillion more pounds sitting on
    top of it.

  • However, choose a roof made of metal, and you can
    avoid adding to this problem and instead, help to
    reduce the inordinate amount of waste. As a metal
    roof is lightweight, it can often be installed
    right on top of your existing roof without
    risking the stability of your home, meaning that
    the landfill site is spared, and you go on to
    save several hundred bucks in removal fees.
  • Minimizing harmful emissions
  • Did you know that a metal roof can help to reduce
    smog, pollution and other harmful emissions?
    Metal is a fantastic reflector of solar
    radiation, and this means that there is less heat
    transferred to your home.

5
  • Less heat of course means that you require less
    from youre a/c units in the hot, summer months,
    and less energy results in fewer carbon emissions
    and better financial savings for you, too.
    Anything that homeowners can do to reduce their
    carbon footprint needs to be encouraged, and
    installing a metal roof on your home or business
    will do this in a dramatic fashion.
  • Longevity
  • Roofing materials such as Copper, Zinc and
    Aluminium are all known for their superior
    longevity, meaning that due to less damage and
    wear and tear, you wont have to replace your
    roof for many years to come this is good both
    for the environment and your pocket.
