Metal Roofing for Energy Savings

Metal roofing for your home is a smart investment that will save you money and hassle over the long term. A metal roof offers powerful protection from the elements as well as energy savings that will lower your home heating and cooling bills throughout the long life of the roof. You can also expect excellent warranties that will protect your investment.

Benefits of Metal Roofing

Top Ten Benefits of Metal Roofing

1. Energy Savings - Here at Advanced Metal Roofing, we pledge a 42% energy savings with the MetalMan Roofing System. But you can check with your local roofing company to see what you can expect - most likely anywhere from 35% to 42% annually. Energy savings with a metal roof results because a metal roof reflects and emits more of the sun's heat than alternative roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, thereby decreasing the amount of heat transferred into your home. We here in sunny North Carolina can really benefit from these energy savings. Check for Energy Star qualified roof products, backed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.
2. Metal Roof Colors - People just love the way a metal roof complements and accents a home. This aesthetic benefit improves the curb appeal of your home and can even help improve the resale value. Advanced Metal Roofing can actually guarantee that your metal roof color will not fade or rust before its time due to the powerful Kynar 500 paint protection. We also offer a Metal Roof Color Simulator to showcase our color selection and help you envision how the right color can complement a home.
3. Low Maintenance - A metal roof constructed from Galvalume sheet is projected to last at least 30 to 40 years before any major repairs might be needed. That's over 20 years longer than traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt, are expected to last before major repairs. This lowered life cycle cost offsets the inital cost of the roof, making it an affordable and long lasting choice for your home.
4. Durability - Where asphalt shingles begin to deteriorate the day they're installed, a metal roof will not deteriorate. Galvalume metal shows a great deal of resistance to corrosion and the metal itself does not crack and peel in sun and weather, especially when protected with a Kynar paint finish. Metal roofing has also been wind tunnel tested and is known to withstand strong winds. The durability of this material makes for a long life for your roof, adding value to your home and savings over the long term.
5. Fire Resistant - A basic property of most metals is that they have a high melting point, preventing them from burning when faced with high heat. Therefore, your metal roof is considered fire resistant when properly installed and grounded, and can protect your home from sparks at the roof level or even lightning in some cases. Metal roofing has been known to save homes from fires when surrounding houses with organic roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, have been burned to the ground.
6. Wind Resistant - Most metal roofing systems have been tested to meet wind resistant classifications. This is especially important to consider if you live in an area prone to high wind storms or hurricanes. Metal roofs can also be installed using wind clips or storm anchors to secure the edges of individual metal shingles or panels for additional protection from high winds. Our MetalMan Roofing System has been wind tunnel tested up to 200 mph and is not prone to wind related damages up to a Category 4 Hurricane.
7. Lightweight - The MetalMan Metal Roofing System is approximately 1/3 the weight of a traditional asphalt roof. The value in having a lightweight metal roofing material is that you can retrofit it over your existing roof, saving time in the installation because they won't have to tear off the old roof, and saving all that waste from going in the landfill. This can reduce the interruption in your home while the new roof is being installed, add a greater level of insulation, and prevent damage that might occur if a storm were to happen during the tear-off.
8. Flexibility - While the MetalMan Roofing System from Advanced Metal Roofing comes in one design - patented, sleek, virtually seamless panels - other metal roofing systems offer flexibility in style and design. You can choose the more commonly seen panels, or copy the look of tiles or shingles.
9. Reduced Pollution - You can go green with Cool Metal Roofing and feel good about your environmental impact in choosing a metal roof for your home. The reflective properties of metal, while saving you money in energy costs, are also helping to save our environment. If you're using less energy in your home, the power plants will need to burn LESS fossil fuels resulting in less air pollution for our environment.
10. Environmentally Sustainable Materials - Yet another way that you can Go Green by choosing a metal roof is by reducing waste in our landfills. Asphalt shingles generate about 7 millions tons of waste every YEAR! When we install your new metal roof, sometimes we can even put it right over your current asphalt roof for added insulation and to save the waste that would be generated by those shingles. A metal roof is constructed from the most recycled material on earth and has a much longer lifespan than alternative roofing materials so it doesn't need replacing nearly as often.
