The Many Benefits of Metal Roofing
One of the most widely-known benefits of metal roofing is durability. Defying nature and time, metal roofing panels can be installed to withstand gusts up to 150mph—that’s nearly the wind speed of a category 5 hurricane. Neither water nor snow is a match for metal, and you’ll never worry about fire, rotting, mold and mildew, or mites/insects.
For this reason, most metal roofing comes with an awesome warranty; somewhere between 20 and 50 years. You can even get an amazing warranty for the paint if the roofing panels come painted.
Lightweight and Energy Efficient
Although most people think ‘heavy’ when they think of metal, metal roofing is actually one of the lighter roofing options. In fact, it can be installed over previous shingles, such as asphalt, without having to remove them.
Energy efficiency is also another great benefit of metal roofing. Metal roofing panels have a high albedo because of how reflective it is, which means most of the sunlight that hits the roof will bounce back off. You won’t worry about your home heating up during the day due to heat being absorbed through the roof, common with darker roof panels.
There are even more benefits to metal roofing, but these are the main reasons homeowners choose metal for their Maryland home.
