Metal Roofing is slowly becoming a popular residential roofing option for many homeowners in the Nashville area. For the longest time, and even today, people have been a little sceptical towards metal roofing due to some myths, which may have been true in the past but are no longer, due to advancements made to the roofing material. Not only do we, at The Metal Roofers, use the very best metal roofing materials for your roof but we’re also going to debunk some of these silly myths so that you can invest in this exceptional roofing material.
In years gone by, metal roofs made quite the noise when it rained or hailed. This sound was incredibly distracting and annoying. But due to technological advancements and developments made to the material, metal roofing produces less sound than the common asphalt shingle roof. This is due to the roofing’s solid sheathing which serves as a noise reduction material.
People often imagine metal roofing as being these long, dull sheets of gray on the roof of one’s home. You’ll be delightfully surprised to see that today, metal roofing comes in all shapes, colours and styles. You can style your metal roofing according to your unique design and aesthetic.
Upfront, metal roofing is a lot pricier than asphalt shingles. However, you’ll be saving a lot more longterm as metal roofing lasts a lot longer than asphalt shingles, they are easier to maintain and they’re able to withstand severe weather conditions a lot better than an asphalt shingle roof.
This is a common myth that has plagued the metal roofing industry for a long time. Metal roofing is one of the best-suited roofing materials for homes in warmer areas. This is because it possesses high reflective properties. This means that it immediately reflects any UV light. It also has a high emissivity feature, which means that it deflects any heat and energy without absorbing it into your home.
