Questions About Metal Roofing:

Why should I consider a metal roof?
Metal roofing is one of the most practical roofing materials on the market today. It offers a long-life alternative to problem-plagued roofing materials such as asphalt, clay, wood and slate.

| How much does a metal roof cost?Because of the great variety in metal roofing, costs can range from slightly more than premium asphalt roofing materials to more expensive for decorative profiles resembling tile or slate. However these more decorative profiles usually cost less than the products they are made to resemble. Also, consider the life of the roofing material when asking about costs. Due to their low maintenance and long life, metal roofing can ultimately be one of the lowest cost roofing materials. | |
| Isn't a metal roof noisy?This is a common question, and probably one of the biggest misconceptions about metal roofing. People think of an old barn roof where the metal is visible to the interior of the structure. From a residential perspective, metal roofing is often installed over a solid substrate. Further, attic space and insulation serve as additional sound barriers. Research has proven that metal isn't any noisier than traditional roofing products. | |
| Will a metal roof attract lightning?No, metal roofs will not attract lightning. Lightning is typically attracted to the highest point in an area, not exclusively metal objects. If lighting should strike a metal roof it may be safer than traditional roofing products, since a metal roof will help conduct and dissipate the electrical charge of lightning. Also, a metal roof is non-combustible so it will not burn if struck by lightning. | |
| Will a metal roof be damaged by hail?Metal roofs are very strong and durable. In most cases, metal roofing is not damaged by hail. It will not crack, spall, or break when struck by hail, as would other roofing materials. Also, formed profiles that look like shake, tile, slate, or asphalt will hide minor cosmetic damages that may result from severe hail storms. |
