Metal Roofs are Energy Efficient

Metal roofing reflects much of the sun’s heat and energy. While conventional shingles absorb much of the sun’s heat, metal roofing reduces cooling energy costs by as much as 20%. The coating used on modern metal roof panels incorporates special pigments that reflect the sun’s energy and release heat that is absorbed throughout the day.

Metal Roofs are Not Noisy

If you have ever been in a metal-clad pole barn, garage, or even a picnic shelter in the rain, you will remember that loud pinging noise as the rain hits the metal roof. In a residential home, layers of building materials like the roof deck, insulation, and drywall between the metal roof and the living area reduce the sound of rain. In fact, the rain noise from a metal roof is similar to that of conventional shingles.

Metal Roofs are Hail-Resistant

Studies conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) have found that metal roofing is far less likely to be punctured by hail than conventional asphalt shingles. That is definitely a benefit
