What are the benefits of Steel Metal Roofing?
The durability and longevity of metal
roofing:
Asphalt can require re-roofing every
12 to 20 years, with the average age of roofing replaced in the
U.S. being only 17 years.
That`s because asphalt roofing, being
made of oil impregnated paper or fiberglass, begins to deteriorate
as soon as you put it on your roof. Just normal weather and the
sun`s ultraviolet (U.V.) rays add to an asphalt roof`s deterioration.
A metal roof, however, will not decompose. And unlike asphalt and
other roofing styles, a metal roof can withstand just about everything
Mother Nature throws at it.
Other roofing materials such as wood
shingles and tile have varying degrees of weather related problems
also. Wood shingles dry out, cracking and curling over a relativelyn
short period of time. Recent wood shingle and shake roofs have
needed replacement before twenty (20). Concrete tile roofs have
experienced problems with freeze/thaw cycles, especially in northern
climates. Metal roofing that retains its good looks, whether it
is shake, tile or vertical seam panels, outlasts both of these
products.
