Among the top priorities for the majority of residential and commercial building owners? Energy efficiency. Whether it’s an effort to become more eco-friendly or simply reduce heating and cooling costs, ensuring your building is as energy efficient as possible is very important. How can building owners enhance the energy efficiency of their structure? By utilizing metal panels!
Metal Roof Panels
Due to their reflective qualities, metal roofing panels are extremely energy efficient. The material reflects the sun’s UV rays, unlike shingles or asphalt which absorb them. Despite this reflection, with proper underlay and insulation the roof can also act as an incredible insulator during the winter. On average, metal roofs can actually save homeowners 10 to 25% on their annual heating and cooling costs!
Longevity and Sustainability
Metal roofs can last between 40 and 70 years! Not only that, but the material can be recycled at the end of its lifetime. Due to their longevity, durability, and environmental performance, metal roofs are a great choice for those looking to be more energy efficient and sustainable.
Solar Panel Friendly
Nothing screams energy efficiency quite like solar panels! Metal panel systems are solar panel friendly – boasting the ability to withstand the weight of the solar system that far outweighs that of other roofing materials. Solar panels are also easier to install on a metal roofing system. Solar panels are a perfect option for building owner’s to reduce their environmental impact, increase its value, and increase its energy efficiency.
