Top 3 Benefits of Metal Roofing

 

Small wonder metal roofs such great popularity nowadays – more and more people, homeowners and business owners alike, understand the benefits of metal roofing, preferring special, durable alloy roofs to any other roofing materials such as asphalt, clay, tile or wood. Here are a few arguments in favor of these great, modern roofing solutions.

 

Durability

 

While many of the more common roofing materials have lifespans that do not exceed 10 years, metal roofs last as long as a house in the Dallas area. If the metal roof is installed properly, it seals perfectly and is able to completely block out moisture. Metal roofs can withstand harsh weather as well, making them an excellent solution not only for areas with moderate climate, but also for regions affected by harsh winds, cruel winters or other kinds of extreme weather.

 

Weight

 

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when choosing roofing materials is the weight of the materials. Many lightweight buildings have limitations in terms of roof weight, so if you are the owner of such a construction, you probably know already why clay, asphalt and many other materials are not an option for you. While tile roofs weigh around 750 pounds per 100 square feet and concrete is even heavier, weighing around 950 pounds for an area of the same size, most metal roof varieties do not weigh more than 50-150 pounds per 100 square feet, a feature that makes them suitable for any construction.

 

Easy Installation

 

Metal roofs are quick and easy to install. The material comes in large panels, usually 12-36 inches wide each, which makes the installation process much quicker, what’s more, there are metal roofs that can be installed on top of the existing roof, so you don’t have to uninstall the old roofing, you don’t need to find a debris removal solution and the installation process will take much shorter, too.
