Metal roofing remains the number one choice in green construction in the 21st century. Why? Durability, long-lasting, and versatile, metal roofs protect residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial buildings for decades. These insulated panels provide superior performance and energy efficiency. What are the top myths of metal roofs?
MYTH: Metal Roofs Rust
Historically, metal roofs were the inexpensive option for industrious business owners, farmers, and homeowners during depressed economic times. In fact, old metal roofs, often zinc-based, rusted quickly. However, because the materials did not cost much and were even free, people did what they could to protect their homes, barns, and businesses. Today’s metal roofs and insulated panels have innovative protective coatings, paint, and technology that prevents rusting. Don’t worry about corrosion or moisture with metal roofs.
MYTH: Metal Roofs Are Noisy
Once again, metal roofs today are not the metal roofs of a century ago. Today excellent insulation and construction makes the metal roof no noisier than other roof options. Talk with our experts at Eco-Insulated Panels about how you can reduce any noise concerns. We will be happy to help you.
MYTH: Metal Roofs Cost Too Much
When you compare initial roof installation costs between low quality asphalt roofing and metal roofs, there is a difference in price. However, your asphalt roof will need to be replaced every decade or so, especially if you live in an area with harsh winters, heavy precipitation, and wind. Metal roofs last for fifty years or more with little maintenance. You save up to 45% in energy costs. Additionally, a metal roof increases your home value by at least ten percent. Enjoy additional insurance and tax benefits, too. When you add all this together, metal roofing makes the most sense (and cents) over the course of its lifetime.
