Metal Shingles vs Asphalt
Metal Roofs vs. Asphalt
Roof Shield™ Metal Roofing offers several advantages over asphalt roofing, making our metal shingle system the choice for many homeowners. Below are some of the key advantages of a Roof Shield™ metal roof over typical asphalt shingles:
- Durability: Metal roofs are known for their durability and longevity. They can withstand harsh weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, hail, and high winds. Metal roofing materials are resistant to cracking, warping, and corrosion, providing a longer lifespan compared to asphalt shingles
- Longevity: While asphalt roofs typically last around 15-30 years, metal roofs can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance. Some metal roofing materials, such as steel or aluminum, are resistant to rust and corrosion, contributing to their extended lifespan.
- Warranty: Due to greater durability, Roof Shield™ is able to warranty your roof for a longer period than most any asphalt shingle product.
- Energy Efficiency: Metal roofs are reflective and can reflect a significant amount of the sun’s energy, helping to keep your home cooler in hot weather. This reflective property can contribute to energy savings by reducing the need for air conditioning.
- Low Weight: Metal roofing materials are generally lighter than asphalt shingles. This can be beneficial for the structural integrity of the building and may allow for easier installation.
- Resistant to Fire: Metal roofs are non-combustible, making them resistant to fire. This can be a crucial factor in regions prone to wildfires, providing an added layer of protection for your home.
- Low Maintenance: Metal roofs require minimal maintenance compared to asphalt shingles. They are less susceptible to damage from pests, mildew, and algae, and they don’t rot. Regular inspections and cleaning are typically sufficient to keep a metal roof in good condition.
- Environmentally Friendly: Metal roofing is often made from recycled materials, and it is itself recyclable at the end of its life. This makes it a more environmentally friendly option compared to asphalt shingles, which contribute significantly to landfill waste.
- Increased Property Value: The durability and longevity of metal roofing can add to the overall value of a property. Home buyers often see it as a desirable feature due to the reduced maintenance costs and potential energy savings.
Despite these advantages, Roof Shield™ urges you to consider all your roofing company options. It is always wise to compare the various warranties, costs, aesthetics, and installation methods to ensure satisfaction with your choice. Thank you.
