If you are like most homeowners, there are chances that your house has a traditional asphalt shingles roof; this has been the standard type or roofing for a number of years now but with time, the options available for homeowners have continued to increase especially in terms of types and colors. However, today, asphalt is no longer the only option available for residential and commercial buildings, metal roofing is quickly gaining popularity and there must be some good reasons as to why.
Sturdy and long lasting: Steel is basically the primary material for metal roofing but there is still more you need to know. You can easily find stone coated metal roofing sheets and like you may have already guessed, this is an extremely sturdy type of roofing material. The best thing about metal roofing is that it can easily be installed over your existing shingles. There are many people who are initially worried about the weight of metal roofs but their fear is unwarranted. Metal roofing actually weighs between 1/3 and 1/8 of traditional roofing materials; homeowners are relieved to find manufacturers who offer a 50-year guarantee of protection from the elements.
An eco-friendly option: Metal roofing is an environmentally friendly roofing option for several reasons. First is the fact that your existing shingles will be left intact on the roof such that they will not occupy any space in the local landfill. Also, you need to realize that a greater percentage of stone coated metal roofing sheets are made from recycled materials. Additionally, they don’t contain any oil products and are therefore 100% recyclable any time they are removed from your house. Also, because metal roofing is so durable many homeowners realize that they may never have to replace their roof which means fewer raw materials sourced.
Great aesthetic appeal: The other reason that most homeowners are opting for metal roofing has to do with its great looks. People love the fact that they have so many options and that they can easily choose from different appearances that will match the style of their home. There are also different colors that are available from charcoal gray to brown or a Mediterranean-inspired reddish brown. Most of the shades and colors that are available with metal roofing are not easily available with asphalt shingles; once you choose the color wisely you will realize that your home will easily stand out in the neighborhood.
While there are several other reasons why people today choose metal roofing and sometimes commercial roof coating over all the other roofing types, space and time allow us to list only these three. If you are having trouble with a leaky roof or you have been a victim of a huge storm that did considerable damage to your roof, you may want to consider investing in metal roofing. Additionally, if you plan to stay in your current home for a long time, choosing metal roofing will ensure that you will be replacing the roof of your home for perhaps the last time since you will enjoy the security of knowing you are safe from the elements.
