The Advantages of Metal Roofing

Article Category: Business

Author Name: Jason R Flynn

If you are planning to build a new roof or need to replace your old one, you may want to contemplate on getting a metal roof instead. Not only will it make your house more energy efficient, a metal roof will also add a unique and beautiful design element that will make your house stand out from the rest. On top of that, this will be the last time you'd ever replace your roof because metal roofs are so durable they can last a lifetime. It will be there for as long as the house is standing. (Most metal roofs are even backed with warranties up to 50 years by their manufacturers!) It is also easy to seal off plumbing pipes that go through the metal roof using readily available flexible pipe boots made of synthetic rubber EPDM and Silicone. (Rubber pipe boots has a flexible base that can conform with any shape or contour of metal roofing and are easy to install.)

Metal roofs come in various aesthetic designs that will enhance any architectural styles from old country farm house to contemporary homes. While it may cost a bit more than shingled roof on the onset, metal roofs are practically maintenance free which will definitely be less expensive in the long run.

Here are the unique benefits of Metal Roofing:

Lightweight - contrary to prevailing belief, metal roof weighs a lot less than other roofing materials. They weigh from 50 pounds to 150 pounds per 100 square feet. In comparison, regular tiles weigh 750 pounds while concrete tiles weigh 900 pounds for exactly the same area. This gives you the added advantage of using less structural roof supports and thus cut down costs.

Fire Resistant - Metal roofs are made of non-combustible materials and are given a Class A fire rating.

Speed and Ease of installation - Most metal roofing materials comes in multi-shingle sections or in sheets which experienced roofing contractors can easily and quickly install. Some types of metal roof shingles can even be installed over existing roof without the need for tearing them down.

Lower Homeowner Insurance - Metal roof will reduce the cost of your insurance while boosting the value of the property.

Environment Friendly - They are made from recycled materials and will therefore eco-friendly.

They can be geared up with tight fitting pipe boots to ensure leak free roof penetrations.

Almost all of the metal roofing materials are made of Galvalume a steel sheet coated with 55% Aluminum and Zinc (which makes it extra exceptionally corrosion resistant and makes it last longer). It won't rot, warp, crack, peel, split, curl, flake, burn or blow off. They are painted over and coated with high performance polymers that will withstand the most severe weather conditions. They are highly unyielding to hail, wind, freezing/thawing, and fire.

While it is true that with metal roof the sound of rain can make some feel like they are inside a drum, this situation can easily be solved with the use of structural barriers (like plywood sheathing) to minimize the clattering sound of rain on the metal roof and/or using insulating materials that also absorbs sounds.

Metal roof is fast becoming the standard in the roofing industry and has become synonymous to strength and durability. With perfect fitting pipe boots to seal all roof penetrations, metal roofing guarantees a leak free cover that will last as long as your foundations are standing. Compared to other conventional roofing materials, metal roof offers the most economical solution to your roofing needs.
