Why Metal Roofing? | ||
 | Durable | |
| According to the Metal Roofing Alliance, you can expect a metal roof to last at least 2 to 3 times longer than a regular roof. | ||
| According to the Metal Roofing Alliance, the average life span of an asphalt roof is 12 to 20 years; count on a metal roof lasting 40 to 60 years and beyond. | ||
 | Environmentally Freindly | |
| The recycled content of the steel in a metal roof is about 56% - far superior to asphalt. | ||
| According to the National Association of Homebuilders Research Center, 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills every year. | ||
| In contrast to many other building materials, steel is routinely collected in aggregate quantities from construction and demolition sites and recycled into new steel products. | ||
 | Energy Efficient | |
| Leading edge technology. | ||
| Studies by the Florida Solar Commission, metal roofs reflect as much as 70% of the sun. | ||
| Keeps attics cooler in the summer, translating into energy savings. | ||
