Roofs aren’t very exciting to the average person. They provide cover for a home and its inhabitants, but they don’t do much in terms of design or aesthetic. And it seems as though there aren’t many unique roofing options.
For decades, asphalt shingle roofs have been the most popular type of roofing. Yet in recent years, a number of homeowners have started switching to a new kind of roof: metal.
What’s so special about metal roofing? It turns out the material has a number of advantages:
- Metal roofs are low-maintenance. Asphalt shingles come off easy, especially during windy seasons. They also wear down at a faster rate. With a metal roof, it’s easier to maintain the roof itself because there are fewer repairs needed.
- Metal makes for the most sustainable roofing material. There is less waste involved in the installation process — metal roofs are typically installed on top of the existing shingles. The metal itself that makes up the roof is also easily recyclable.
- Having a metal roof reduces energy costs. During hot summer months, they keep the interior of the house cooler by reflecting sunlight. In the winter, they keep buildings warmer by reflecting the heat back inside.
