LONGEVITY

Metal roofs have a fantastic life expectancy, particularly in comparison to other commonly used roofing materials. Metal roofs have a life expectancy of 40+ years which is far superior to alternatives such as single ply or asphalt shingles which are only expected to last around half as long. The extended lifespan of metal roofing also serves to offset the higher upfront cost.

SAFETY

Metal roofing has strong fire retardant properties, meaning that it won’t burn in the event of a fire. This resistance to fire makes the material a safe one. However, it is worth bearing in mind that if metal roofing is installed over combustible materials, this can lower your roof’s fire resistance rating.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Typically, the roof can be an area of a property which can facilitate large amounts of heat loss and gain. This inefficiency can lead to a warmer home in summer and a colder one in winter, thus increasing energy bills. However, metals will reflect radiant heat from the sun which reduces heat gain, keeping your home cooler in summer. What’s more, although metal is not particularly insulating alone, it is very simple to apply effective insulation to metal roofing, ensuring your home stays cozy and your bills lower in winter, too.

LIGHTWEIGHT

Most types of metal roofing are surprisingly lightweight. This characteristic allows metal roofing to be installed with ease, creating very little stress on the load bearing roof support structures.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

As roofing materials go, metal is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable options you can choose. A lot of metal roofing already contains a percentage of recycled material and, for those with sustainability as a primary concern, you can readily source sheet roofing with a high recycled content. What’s more, once it reaches the end of its useful life, metal roofing can be entirely recycled, preventing any landfill waste whatsoever.

EASY MAINTENANCE

As well as lasting a long time, metal roofs are easy and cheap to upkeep during their lifespan. With metal, you can expect a roof which does not crack, split, corrode or mould. With well-installed roofs, you can also expect all rain and snow to run-off the surface smoothly. This creates a roof which will require next to no maintenance input from you throughout its life to keep it looking great and functioning perfectly.

INCREASE PROPERTY VALUE

As something of a side effect of making your home or building more energy efficient, metal roofing can actually increase the value of your property. Eco-friendly, energy efficient properties are increasingly in demand.
