Metal roofing is a viable choice for both residential and commercial buildings. This type of roofing comes in a wide range of colors, allowing you to select a hue that suits your design tastes. In today’s blog, Rosemeyer Roofing examines the pros of high-quality metal roofing as an option for your home or business.
Longevity
Metal roofing can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years, which lets you reap a higher return on your investment. This is particularly useful if you plan on owning the building for decades because a metal roof needs to be replaced less often compared to asphalt or wood shingles. The longevity of metal roofing also elevates the sale price of a building.
Durability
Manufacturers typically make metal roofing out of sheets of steel or aluminum, two of the most durable metals available. Metal roofs can withstand wind gusts up to 140 miles per hour while resisting cracking and denting. Even though metal roofing is very durable, it’s still important to periodically inspect your roof, especially after severe weather events.

Safety
Metal roofing is fireproof, and it doesn’t ignite after a lightning strike or wildfire. Insurance companies might offer discounts for metal roofs because they don’t burn and are also less susceptible to storm damage. The key to achieving the best fire rating comes from the material underneath a metal roof.
Energy Efficiency
Metal roofing reflects solar radiant heat to reduce your summer cooling costs by anywhere from 10 to 25 percent. Combine this roofing with the right type of attic insulation or rigid foam insulation directly underneath the metal, and your building can reduce your utility bills by even more.

Environmentally Friendly
Manufacturers can make metal roofing from recycled steel or aluminum, up to 25 to 95 percent recycled content. Once a metal roof reaches the end of its useful life, all of the metal can be recycled.
Ease of Installation
Roofing companies such as Rosemeyer Roofing can install metal roofing more quickly compared to shingles. Panels may be several feet long, compared to shingles of 12 to 36 inches. Teams can install more metal roofing over a period of time compared to shingles because metal roofs come in bigger pieces.
