Recyclable metal roof

Of the various roofing materials on the market, metal roofs are most popular, most loved, and for good reasons too. In addition to their customization flexibility and robustness, metal roofs also demonstrate exceptional longevity that enables them to outlive asphalt shingles by two to three times longer. As a malleable and durable material, metal roofs do not succumb to cracks, chips, thermal expansion and contraction, and other costly failures.

Homeowners appreciate metal roofs for their amazing ability to maintain a youthful look even in their sixties. They are pleasant to the eye and friendly to your cooling expenditure. While the solar reflectance value of a conventional shingle roof can never pass 40% (oftentimes much less), a metal roof has a solar reflectance value of at least 61% to effectively reject incoming solar heat and keep your roof surface nice and cool by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the dog days of summer.

Metal Roof: The Green Roof from Beginning to the End

Metal roofs are often referred to as “cool roofs” or “green roofs” for their eco-friendly qualities. Besides reducing your carbon footprint and efficiently preserving the coolness of your home with high solar reflectance and thermal emissivity, metal roofs are also a sustainable roofing option in many shapes and forms:

  • Longevity: 50+ years of life expectancy
  • Durability: fire retardant, impervious to mildew, mold, ice, and 140 mph wind
  • Charisma: many styles and colors to emulate the texture of shakes, slates, and shingles
  • Energy Efficiency: save up to 40% in your cooling bills

Unlike asphalt shingles that require replacement frequently, metal roofs can easily live close to 100 years old before ending their service to your home. When that happens, metal roofs effectively eliminate the need for landfill disposal. While more than 13 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are sent to the landfills annually, metal roofs are 100% recyclable. They can be reprocessed and used to make new roofs. In fact, many of the new metal roofs you see on the market contain approximately 25% to 50% of recyclable materials. It’s not difficult to see why a metal roof is the perfect choice for every environmentally-conscious homeowner across the country.
