“My foot
hit something. I sensed, or thought I sensed, a piece of corrugated metal
roofing down deep in the opaque mud.” – Our Man in Belize: A Memoir, Richard
Timothy Conroy
When someone mentions, metal roofs, corrugated is the
picture that comes to mind.
If you are considering solar panels for your building,
metal
roof is the best. According to the EnergySage, solar
panels can increase the cooling benefits of a metal roof. Together with
eco-friendly London Metal Roofing and the solar panels, you are making your
environment sustainable.
For a more sustainable home, FEMA
suggests metal roofs with a solar reflectance Index (SRI) equal to or greater
than 78 for low-slope and 29 for steep-sloped roofs. The FEMA advisory also
suggests metal roof systems with recycled content. London Metal roofing systems have 25% to 95%
recycled material and are 100% recyclable at the end of their lifespan.
Metal roofing is great in places prone to wildfires,
because metal does not catch fire from embers. The catch here is, also a need
to ‘vent’ the fire. Ember
and Flame intrusion resistance through a metal roof can be
countered by metal screens.
Noise due to rain on the metal roofs has been studied
a lot. There is a solution to that too. Copper
roof is the quietest of the metal roofs. Stone coating, air
spaces and insulation make modern metal roofs quiet according to the Smart
Homeowner
In extreme weather conditions, check if your home
owner’s insurance provides discount
for using Weather-Resistant Metal Roofing. Some metal roofs qualify
for Energy Star certification which aims to reduce
energy costs by 30%.
Metal roof that can hold up against all weather
conditions as well as extreme natural disasters are worth a look. Aluminium
roofing is a good option for coastal areas. The metal roofs come with a
wind-rating of up to 140mph.
If you live in a snowy area, snow
retention, might be a concern. Pad style snow guards in
matching colors can be used on sloping metal roofs.
According
to ASC Building products, The 26 gauge metal roofing products
weigh between 0.90 – 1.00 lbs. per square foot. The 29 gauge products weigh
between 0.60 - 0.65 lbs per square foot. Yes, that is lighter than few
years ago.
Compared to shingles, metal roofs come in panels, so
the installation is easier.
As the popularity of metal roof increases, its an
added value to your house. The price pays for itself over years of not
requiring replacement.
