Your choice of material will have a big impact on the energy efficiency of your roof. One roofing option that’s gaining popularity is cool metal roofing, and for good reason. It’s one kind of roof that offers longevity, and it’s sustainable too.
Here’s how metal roofing benefits the environment:
Low-Maintenance
Metal roofing requires very low maintenance because of the strong and durable material. It works well with a fire-, wind-, and hail-rated roofing system. The roofing comes in various finishes and colors, which offer additional protection for the material. As a roofing contractor with over 70 years of experience, we have installed different roofing systems throughout the years, and metal is one of the popular choices because of its strength and durability. With metal as a material that easily lasts centuries, your roof will not need replacement for a long time.
Recyclable
Metal can be kept away from landfills even after your roof has served its purpose. It can be recycled for use as other products, and it can even be reprocessed to be a new metal roofing for a new property. You are helping the environment by not adding to the garbage that is not recycled in landfills; at the same time, you are helping your home increase its value because of metal’s lightweight but fire-resistant and strong profile. Metal can be recycled over and over again, making it one of the most environmentally friendly materials out there.
Offers Savings on Cooling Costs
With a reflective coating, your metal roofing is a good option even for summer months. It reflects the heat off the roof, keeping your interior cool. This helps you save on cooling costs because you don’t need to crank up the air conditioning. It also re-emits most of the absorbed radiation, leading to energy savings of up to 40%.
