In this video, we take a look at the benefits of installing a metal roof. They can often be installed right over the existing roofing, which means no extra trip or waste to the landfill. They are also around the same price as asphalt shingles, especially when you consider they are quicker to put together, so it cuts down on labor cost, and you’ll have the roof for 2 to 3 times as long!
Metal roofing can be made from copper, zinc, aluminum, or steel, with aluminum usually being the most affordable choice.
When choosing a color, light colors will save more energy on air conditioning in the summer heat and decrease your contribution to the urban heat island effect by reflecting away more sunlight. Many metal roofs can earn an Energy Star rating based on their reflectivity factor (rather than absorbing sunlight like a conventional asphalt roof), decreasing summer overheating and air condition energy consumption.
