BUSTING THE MYTHS ABOUT METAL ROOFS
2

• With continually increasing developments in
  technology, metal roofs are now available in many
  more colors, styles and materials than ever
  before. With such a fantastic choice on the
  current market, youre bound to find a metal roof
  to suit your property. However, there are some
  myths about metal roofs that require debunking
• There are limited style options
• With some homeowners concerned that a metal roof
  might not match the style of their property, its
  important to note that there are aluminium and
  steel roofs available in countless different
  styles, making it virtually impossible not to
  find one that is a good match for your home,
  whatever its architectural style may be.

• Loudness is an issue
• Did you know that a metal roof can be quieter
  than asphalt shingles, crushing peoples fears of
  metal panels or shingles being deafening during
  heavy rains?
• Metal roofs are expensive
• While it may be true that a metal roof can cost
  more upfront than other types of roofs, its
  imperative that you consider the longevity of a
  metal roof compared to other, cheaper materials.
  A metal roof may not need replacing for many more
  years than other roofs made from more traditional
  materials, making it cheaper in the cheaper
  option in the long run.

• There are few color options
• Many people believe that a metal roof cannot be
  as attractive as other roofs due to the limited
  color options, but nowadays, with advancements in
  technology and creativity, there are a wide range
  of appealing colors that would easily satisfy all
  tastes.
• Metal is not as good quality as other materials
• Metal is a premium roofing material, so it may
  seem logical to compare it to other high-end
  materials such as slate, clay and cedar shakes,
  and draw the conclusion that others are of a
  better quality.

• However, the reality is that a metal roof will be
  just as durable but wont be subject to cracking
  and breaking as some of those other premium
  roofing materials. Metal is also lightweight and
  so will not put any strain on the original
  structure of your home.
• Poor weather means a poor performance
• This is totally not true! During scientific tests
  and research, when compared to other roofs, metal
  ones consistently proved to perform far better
  during severe weather conditions such as heavy
  rain, high winds and snow.

• So, while there will always be those who insist
  that a metal roof is not as practical, attractive
  or affordable as other types of roofing
  materials, there is little in the way of evidence
  to back this up. If you would like to know more
