Metal Roofs Are Not Energy-Efficient
According to the Metal Roofing Alliance, metal roofs are actually incredibly energy-efficient. Metal roofs with the right colors and coatings can reflect heat away from the home. This prevents the attic from heating up, making it easier for your air conditioning system to maintain your desired temperature. A metal roof can also work together with insulation to improve a home’s energy efficiency all year round.
Metal Roofs Can’t Handle Hail
As the top residential and commercial roofer in our local area, we recommend metal roofs for customers who are concerned about severe weather, including hail. Metal roofs are among the most resilient roofing options when it comes to hail-resistance. Many metal roofs are rated Class 4 for Impact resistance. A metal roof is much less likely to puncture than other roofing options.
Metal Roofs Attract Lightning
Metal roofs are no more likely to be struck by lightning than other types of roofing materials. The frequency and severity of storms in an area, the topography and the height and size of the building are the major factors that affect the likelihood of a home being struck by lightning. The presence of a metal roof does not affect the chances of a lightning strike.
