Why Metal? |
Used on homes as diverse as Monticello to your neighborhood three-bedroom rancher, metal roofs provide energy savings, beauty, and protection for your home that can last a lifetime. Residential metal roofs are available in a wide variety of design to complement any style home.

Offered in a rainbow of colors, your metal roof can be a traditional vertical seam profile, or be manufactured to resemble wood shake, slate, shingles or clay tiles. And, by choosing a metal roof, you'll save money and do your part for the environment. Conventional roofing products, including asphalt shingles, contribute an estimated 20 billion pounds of waste to U.S. landfills annually, whereas metal roofs can often be installed over an existing roof, eliminating the cost and eco-impact of tear-off and disposal.

More and more, homeowners are seeking out energy-saving building materials for their renovations and new homes, products that not only secure and improve structures but also provide long-term cost-cutting on energy bills while promoting environmental and economic sustain ability in the greater community. |
|
Among the array of possible upgrades, “cool metal roofing” easily answers this consumer demand offering a solid, attractive roofing solution available in multiple colors, textures, and profiles, for steep-slope and low-slope applications, that can save your household up to 40% of its annual energy costs, depending on your geographical region.

The Benefits of Energy Efficient Metal Roofing |
As reported by the Cool Metal Roofing Coalition and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, installation of reflective metal roofing can save your home up to 40% in summer cooling energy costs while highly emissive metal roofs can reduce urban air temperatures by as much as 12 ° F. Combined, these benefits mean less money out of your wallet, less dependence on energy resources and less general air pollution in your neighborhood and across the nation.

On a building or on a home, the roof has a major impact with the absorption of heat from sunlight (Solar Radiation). The heat is either reflected into the atmosphere or absorbed through conduction into the building. Any solar radiation that is absorbed will heat the roof's surface. The more the solar radiation is absorbed, the greater the need to find alternative means to dissipate the heat. That's where emittance comes into play. Emissivity is measures of the roof's ability to shed absorbed heat. |
The roof's design (type, color, elevation) will determine how the heat is reflected and absorbed heat is emitted. "Cool" coating technology focuses on reflecting solar radiation (Solar Reflectivity), and shedding what heat is absorbed away from the surface (Thermal Emittance).

Conduction
The passing of heat through a roof material into the layer in contact directly beneath the surface.
Convection
The heating of the air that passes over a hot surface.
Heat Flux
The amount of energy flowing through any surface

Metal roofs typically have a minimum of 25% recycled content. This level of recycled content allows metal roofing to be routinely included on listing for "green" and recycled content products. It is also 100% recyclable when ultimately removed as part of building renovation or demolition. Other roofing materials are routinely removed and disposed of by the ton in a landfill, but metal roofing can be recycled by its entirety. Metals are exceptional building materials that can credibly claim both recycled content and recycle ability by recognized definitions. |

Metal Types
Metal Slate
Metal Shingles create the distinctive look of smooth, uniform slate tiles. For those who appreciate a classic refined appearance, these shingles provide outstanding performance and value for your home.
Metal Tile
Standard tile roofs can be heavy, yet fragile and costly to maintain. Metal Tile, however, has the graceful curves of classic tile, but the lightness and strength of stone-coated steel.
Metal Shake
Metal shake is the investment grade alternative to traditional wooden shake. You'll love the authentic look of wood, while gaining a variety of color choices with longer lasting, more durable metal.

Why Would You Need New Gutters?
Roof water begins to compact the soil causing low areas where water collects. Doors begin to warp from the excessive water. Cement slowly starts to erode under the constant hammering of the roof water. Moisture builds up around the house and mildew forms. Rain Gutters are a simple and inexpensive way of protecting your home and landscaping investment.

Why Choose Metal Roofing?
Yes, it costs more, but ordinary roofing materials have shorter life spans than metal and will need to be replaced regularly. Properly installed, a metal roof virtually never needs to be replaced, saving you money while adding value to your residential or commercial structure. Unlike asphalt, wood, tile and cement roofing materials, a metal roof offers superior protection against the elements.
