SHOULD YOU INVEST IN A METAL ROOF?
2

• Metal roofs arent a viable option for every home
  or business owner, but for those who would can
  afford to invest in it, there are many advantages
  that can make it a durable and sustainable
  roofing option.
• To help you decide whether a metal roof is right
  for you and your home or commercial building,
  well look at the pros and cons in a little more
  detail
• What are the advantages of metal roofing?
• Below are just some of the many advantages
  associated with metal roofing

3

• Durability
• Highly durable, metal roofs are exceptionally
  resistant to wind and weather, meaning that you
  will never have to experience the loss of tiles
  or shingles in the event of a storm.
• High fire resistance
• Unlike some traditional roofing materials, a
  metal roof wont ignite or feed a flame.

4

• Energy saving
• Because metal roofs reflect light, they can help
  to keep your home or business much cooler during
  the summertime, and many people experience lower
  energy bills.
• Long lasting
• Provided your metal roof is installed by an
  experienced roofing company, it will be capable
  of lasting for anything from 40 years, to 70, and
  the cost of maintenance will be exceptionally
  low, too.

5

• Highly customizable
• With a range of specialty metals to choose from,
  such as zinc, copper and aluminium, as well as a
  variety of paint colors and finishes, a metal
  roof is highly customizable.
• Resistant to erosion
• If you live in a coastal region, this is
  particularly advantageous, as saltwater and sand
  can quickly erode traditional roofing materials
  such as shingles.

6

• Readily available
• While it might seem counterintuitive, the fact
  that metal is classed as a specialty roofing
  material actually makes it more readily available
  than other materials, such as tiles or shingles.
  Should there be a shortage of building materials,
  youll have ready access to metal and can get
  your roof under way a lot quicker than if you
  were forced to wait for shingles.
• What are the disadvantages of metal roofing?
• Below are the disadvantages associated with metal
  roofing, and as you can see, there are far less
  than there are advantages

7

• Expensive
• Metal roofing panels are more costly, as is the
  hiring of a professional roofing contractor to
  install them (this is because of the extra
  training they have to undergo, and the additional
  resources).
• Noisy
• If not insulated, a metal roof can be noisy
  during a storm, and if you live in a region
  thats prone to severe storms, it might be worth
  talking to a roofing company about your
  insulation options.

8

• Unprofessional installation
• If you dont work with a professional and
  experienced roofing contractor, you may have
  issues with expansion and contraction in the
  metal panels, so take the time to research
  reputable roofers before signing any contracts.
• Still have questions about whether a metal roof
  is a viable option for your home or business? To
  discuss the advantages of metal roofs in more
  detail, reach out to a local roofing company for
  guidance.
