Considering a metal roof? Here are some options
If you're thinking about replacing your roof, you may be surprised to learn that you have more options at your disposal than just the traditional shingle-style roof. One of the most popular options includes metal roofing. Although much more costly compared to shingles, metal roofs provide homeowners a more durable and longer-lasting roof. Metal roofing can be extremely attractive to homeowners who may not want to worry about roof damage or replacement anytime soon. But what type of roof style is best for metal roofing? Here are just a few of the many styles that are available to you: Asphalt Shingles Sale
If you want that shingle look but don't want the lack of support, metal-coated shingles may be your best bet. Unlike regular shingles, metal-coated shingles have a much longer lifespan (30-plus years). This, of course, makes metal-coated shingles very attractive to homeowners who may not want to deal with a roof replacement in the near future. Although costly to install, homeowners should take into consideration the benefits that a metal-coated shingle roof provides. One of those benefits includes their resistance to temperature fluctuations, which have shown to be one of the most damaging things to a traditional shingled roof.
If you're looking into this type of metal roofing, there are essentially three types that homeowners should be aware of when it comes to standing seam roofing: painted aluminum, galvalume steel and galvanized steel. For those looking for one of the strongest styles to have on your roof, these are often the types that perform the best. The reason for that is because of its focus on the seams of the roof. This is often the weakest point in a roof, and standing seam roofing removes that weakness by raising the seams above the level of the roofing panel. Additionally, because there are no horizontal seams, the roof has fewer weak points.
Corrugated metal roofs are manufactured to have panels and ridges. It is this type of design that allows corrugated metal roofs to be so durable and thus have a great strength-to-weight ratio, which often translates to better performance against the elements. Those looking to save a little bit of money on their insurance rates will be surprised to learn that many insurance companies have incentives for homeowners who invest in this type of roof. The biggest reason for that is because of their fire resistance feature. There are several metal roofing styles you have access to as a homeowner. However, before committing to a new roofing material, it is always recommended to speak with a professional to help you learn in greater detail about each of the options available to you.
