Metal Roofs
Metal roofs are a popular choice for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to their durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
Steel: Often coated with a layer of zinc (galvanized) or a zinc-aluminum mixture (galvalume) to prevent rust and corrosion.
Advantages:
- Durability: Metal roofs can last 40-70 years, depending on the material. They withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow, hail, and high winds.
- Energy Efficiency: Reflective coatings can reduce cooling costs by reflecting sunlight, keeping buildings cooler.
- Low Maintenance: Metal roofs require less maintenance compared to other roofing materials like asphalt shingles.
- Fire Resistance: Metal roofs are non-combustible and offer excellent fire resistance, which can be an advantage in areas prone to wildfires.
Environmental Impact: Most metal roofing materials are recyclable, and many are made from recycled content, making them an eco-friendly choice
