A roof that's made of metal typically lasts twice as long as a shingle roof, but requires lower maintenance.
Metal roofs are truly weatherproof and even repel hail. They are energy efficient because they keep homes cool, and are free from the algae, lichen, and moss that inhabit the roofs of over 90 percent of buildings in the country — resulting in a very professional finish.
Along with energy efficiency and long-lasting quality, other benefits that can make metal not only your best choice, but an affordable one, including:
Metal roofs qualify as one of only a few “cool” roofing choices available today. Cool metal roofs deliver high solar reflectance and higher thermal emittance than standard roofing products. Cool roofing materials are not only more energy efficient, but also reduce the damage of the sun’s rays on a building — and the urban heat island effect.
They make the home environment more comfortable by preventing the heat from entering the home and attic. Additionally, since the air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard, you may also save money by not having to replace it as quickly.
Another important consideration for anyone thinking about installing a metal roof is the fire and wind resistance that it offers. Longhorn Roofing installs high-quality, durable metal roofing that offers the highest levels of fire and wind resistance.
The wildfires that we’ve experienced in the Austin area in recent years have heightened everyone’s awareness around the dangers of structural fires.
