Environmentally conscious people are embracing metal roofing as a green alternative to asphalt shingles. Once the standard material for roofing, metal is experiencing a renaissance as a responsible way to save money. Although a metal roof is more expensive to install than asphalt, there are long-term benefits – homeowners can realise long-term savings and increased security, while eliminating the waste they contribute to landfills from worn-out shingles.
More security
Many people remember seeing metal roofs on old houses. The reason for this is that metal roofs frequently outlive the owners who buy them. While asphalt roofs only last an average of 17 years, most metal roofs last over 50 years, and some can last as long as 100 years if installed professionally. Metal roofs are spark and fire proof, hail resistant, and can withstand winds of up to 150mph. For these reasons, professional roofers offer warranties of 50 years or more, and many insurance companies offer discounts for homes with metal roofs.
Metal roofs are extremely durable and require minimal maintenance. If properly installed, these roofs generally need nothing more than an occasional clean with soap and water. In winter, when asphalt roofs can fail due to the weight of accumulated snow, their metal counterparts generally allow snow to slide off, even on low-pitch roofs.
More savings
Although metal roofs have an initial expense that is about double that of asphalt roofs, they are actually cheaper in the long run. An asphalt roof that lasts an average of 17 years will be replaced twice before the warranty even expires on the typical metal roof.
In addition to the replacement-cost savings, metal roofs can save on the heating and cooling bill. Metal roofs can cut heating and cooling costs by 25% or more. If the roof has a white or silver coating, costs can be reduced by as much as 50%.
More green
Metal roofing also provides a variety of environmental benefits for homeowners. The steel, aluminium, copper, or other materials used can be made from recycled materials. Nearly 60% of the steel used in roofing is recycled, while copper and aluminium roofing is made up of about 80% recycled materials.
In addition, metal roofing means the use of less asphalt, which offers another benefit to the environment. It is estimated that re-roofing generates 6.8 billion tonnes of asphalt waste each year. Since it is difficult to recycle asphalt, this material generally ends up in a landfill, as opposed to metal, which is widely recycled.
Whether it’s using a van vault tube to carry piping, or corrugated steel for a new roof, metal has a wide variety of excellent uses. When properly installed by a professional, using a power drill or nail gun, a metal roof can be an excellent way to save money and adhere to green building practices.
