Why choose metal roofing?
There are a wide variety of roofing materials available in the market today. Each type comes with its pros and cons. Some are economical and other choices such as metal come with a hefty price tag but save you more money in the long run. Why is Metal such a good choice for roofing?
Metal roofing is durable
Metal is a very durable material and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it suitable to the intense Toronto weather. It can last a very long time with some material types lasting over a hundred years. It is a worthy investment indeed.
Metal is cost-effective
Because they are durable and can last for a lifetime, metal is more cost-effective compared to other materials. It is not common for a homeowner to commission more than a single metal roof installation in a lifetime. In comparison, it is highly likely for a homeowner to replace an asphalt shingle roof for up to four times in 50 years. The initial cost might put off a lot of people but if you calculate the amount of money you save in the long run, it makes more financial sense to opt for metal.
Metal roofing can be installed quickly
Metal roofing can be installed quickly because of its construction. However, installation does require an expert but when done by highly-skilled and well-trained professionals, you don’t need to worry about any mishaps.
Metal roofing comes with a great warranty
Most metal roofs come with a warranty of at least twenty years and sometimes, depending on the manufacturer, the warranty can be longer.
Metal roofing is not combustible
You’re much safer with metal roofing because unlike other materials, it’s not combustible. It can get hit by lightning but it won’t catch fire and compromise the safety of the people in the home.
Metal roofing can be installed over an existing roof
You don’t need to worry about spending an extra amount on having your existing roof removed because metal can be easily installed over it. However, this is highly dependent on the building codes in your area. Your contractor can help find out what laws you need to abide by.
Metal roofing is quiet
Contrary to popular belief, metal roofing is not noisy. It’s one of the quietest roofing solutions being offered today. Usually installed over a substrate, the insulation and the attic provide a good sound barrier.
Metal roofing does not attract lightning
Another misconception is that metal attracts lightning and that there is a tendency for metal roofing to be frequently hit by lightning. This simply isn’t true. If your roof ever does get hit by lightning, you don’t need to worry because it is not combustible.
Metal roofing does not rot and is not easily damaged
Metal roofing is impermeable to the elements. Fire and insects won’t damage it and it doesn’t rot like wood and snow slides off from it quickly because it conducts heat fast.
