Is metal roofing more expensive than other materials?

Premium metal roofing is comparable in price to various tiled solutions, but you are going to get many more years of life out of it, with the average metal roof lasting up to 50 years. Metal roofing costs less than slate and while it is more expensive than a shingle solution, the durability and longevity you can expect make metal the more economical solution in the long term. In general, you can expect a metal roof to last up to three times longer than any other material. This not only means you won't have to replace it for a long time, but it will also look new for much longer and won't require as much maintenance and repairs.

How does metal roofing stand up to the elements?

Modern metal roofing solutions are not like old tin roofing options. They are treated so they are not going to rust or corrode and they have been engineered to withstand extreme weather events. These metal roofing solutions have been tested in wind conditions over 200km/hr, which is the equivalent of a category three or four cyclone.

Will I have to replace my entire roof to get a metal solution?

Fortunately not. In most cases, a brand new metal roof can be installed over the top of your existing one. Because metal roofing is durable but lightweight, in most circumstances, it isn't going to overload your existing roof or the structure of your premises. There is an added benefit to this process too; not only is it more affordable, but your existing roof will provide an extra layer of insulation for your home or work premises.

Will a metal roof be noisy when it rains?

This is another common misconception that dates back to the days of simple tin roofing. Modern solutions include plywood and felt linings that provide an acoustic shield, so there will be no excessive noise at all. In fact, in most cases, metal roofing will block out more exterior noise than other roofing solutions.

In what other ways will metal roofing save me money?

You are going to get a reliable and durable roof that will require less maintenance and repairs and will last up to 50 years, so you are going to make immediate savings there. The superior insulation qualities will not only make your home more comfortable but will also reduce your heating and cooling expenses. Additionally, because you have made the effort to make your home more durable, you may be eligible for cheaper insurance premiums as well.
