Metal Roofs
As metal roofing continues to grow in popularity among homeowners who are tired of the short lives and ordinary looks of other roofing materials, more and more metal roofing products are being selected for residential projects. This change in the construction market is due in part to the continuing public education about the benefits of metal roofing, and also the explosion in availability of different types of metal roofing products. Metal roofing adorns tens of thousands of homes nationwide, and that number is growing rapidly. Many closely associated with the metal roofing industry strongly believe that in the next 10 to 20 years, metal will actually become the norm for roofing materials, as opposed to the asphalt shingles most commonly used today. If you are considering a roof for your Central Alabama home, there are many reasons why you should consider a metal roof from Southern Homes:
Beauty
•
Metal roofing comes in more styles, colors, and profiles than traditional roofing materials.
•
Metal roofing systems are a much more attractive roofing option than traditional roofing materials.
•
Metal roofs can complement virtually any architectural style, and do so in a very dramatic way.
•
Metal roofing will enhance property beauty and value.
Noise
•
With metal roofs, there is no noticeable difference in noise compared to other roofing products. In fact, metal roofing is many times quieter than other materials, like a wood shake shingle.
Lightning
•
Metal conducts electricity but does not “attract” it.
•
Lightning will hit highest object.
•
No additional risk compared to asphalt shingles.
Wind Resistance
•
Many metal roofing products have passed wind and uplift tests including UL 580 that tests to 90 psf (simulates 150+ mph wind speed).
Fire Safety
•
A higher fire rating is achieved through underlayment.
Walkability
•
Metal roofs are produced from high quality materials that allow them to be walked on without fear of damage.
•
Four way interlock and clip fastened design assures that your roof stays put, even in the most severe weather.
These are just a few of the many benefits of metal roofing. There's no doubt that metal roofing is continuing to grow in popularity at an unprecedented rate. While people are almost always fearful of change to some degree, the switch to metal roofing is one change people can make with utmost confidence that they are making a choice that will positively impact their lives.
Metal roofing is, as many individual homeowners are already realizing, the wave of the future. Without question, this building product is consistent with the needs and goals of almost any architectural review board due to its value, durability, energy efficiency, longevity, and overall beauty. Once metal roofing is introduced into a neighborhood, it isn't long at all before it is the standard by which all other roofing products are judged.
