\nThe advantages of a metal roof<\/strong>
\n
\nThere are many advantages to opting for a metal roof. For example, there is a\nwide variety of colours and finishes to complement and enhance your home\u2019s\nvisual aesthetics. Metal roofing offers a variety of standard or custom colour\noptions. Metal roofs are fire, spark and flameproof which contributes to\nenhanced fire ratings, while providing lower insurance rates in some areas.

\nThe longevity and costs of metal roofing<\/strong>
\n
\nA metal roof can last a lifetime, compared to asphalt shingles which usually\nneed to be replaced after 8 or 15 years. Metal shingles won’t fade or rust they\nand they will look great for many years. This type of material is also\nextremely durable, lightweight and water resistant. This means that it resists\nthe elements (withstands high winds and severe weather conditions) better than\na non-metallic roof. Metal roofs are also energy-efficient reflecting the heat\nof the sun instead of absorbing it, which helps keep your house cooler in\nsummer. Metal roofs are up to 50% lighter than roofs using traditional\nmaterials and can be installed directly over an existing roof, thereby reducing\nwaste and environmental pollution. Metal shingles are 100% recyclable, unlike\nasphalt shingles which will end up in landfills. Another fact that should not\nbe overlooked, most metal roofing will never need to be replaced during owner\noccupancy, which means significant savings in the long run.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe guarantees of a metal roof
\n
\n<\/strong>Generally speaking, the vast majority of metal roofing\nproducts are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty of at least 50 years, and\nmany of them are guaranteed for life. With proper maintenance, this type of\nroof can easily last as long as the house itself. It is important to note that\nthe warranty only applies if the system is installed by certified professional\nroofers. All manufacturers\u2019s installation and maintenance instructions must be\nadhered to in order to maintain the longevity, weather durability and colour\nwarranties. Metal roof warranties are transferable to the new owners who can\nhelp improve the value of your home and or peace of minds for your loved ones.
