Advantages of Metal Roofing

What are the advantages of a metal roof? There are many advantages to using metal roofing for your property’s roof. These benefits range from durability to safety to environmental friendliness. 

Metal Roofing is Durable

Believe it or not, metal roofs can last a very long time. In fact, they can last upwards of 40 to 70 years depending on the materials used and the amount of upkeep. This is longer than traditional roofing, which has a 12 to 20-year lifespan. Of course, this is not to say that your roof will need some repairs before the lifespan is up, but it does mean that a metal roof is very durable. It’s this durability that helps it last a long time and also withstand a lot of the elements, including wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour.

Metal Roofing is Weather Strong

As stated, metal roofs can withstand strong winds. Since Florida is sub-tropical and has a six month hurricane season, this is important to consider when picking a roofing material. It’s also important to know that metal roofs are almost impenetrable to rain.

Metal Roofing is Safe

With the above mentioned in mind, metal roofs are supremely safe. Not to mention they do not easily ignite due to a fire or lightning strike. Since they can withstand strong winds, they are prime for the unpredictability of Florida weather. 

Metal Roofing is Environmentally Friendly

Metal roofs are also usually made of 25 to 95 percent recycled content and are 100 percent recyclable, like DECRA’s Villa Tile, which can significantly reduce cooling costs by reflecting solar radiation.
