Metal roofs are a popular option for a myriad of reasons including their fire-resistant qualities, longevity, and durability. Metal is also surprisingly lightweight and is great at reflecting the heat from the sun, allowing the added benefit of saving on energy bills. The average metal roof has a lifespan of 50+ years and is an ideal material for those who want to make a “green” decision. The recyclability, energy efficiency, recycled content, and sustainability of metal roofing makes it the most environmentally friendly roofing solution available. When it comes to durability, metal is an ideal choice for areas with unpredictable weather patterns like high winds, rainfall, hurricanes, etc, as they are able to withstand the elements and extreme weather conditions far better than other materials because of their light weight and interlocking panels.
