Metal roofing offers protection that lasts a lifetime
A properly installed quality metal roof is practically impervious to a wide range of extreme climate conditions. Modern residential metal roofs will not warp, crack, rot, or rust and will last up to 50 years with little maintenance required. Experience protection from weather like hail, high winds, blowing debris, falling trees, ice damage, and so much more.
Metal roofing is fire resistant
Another added peace of mind for customers thinking about metal roofing is that it is fire-resistant. Most metal roofing carries a Class A fire-resistant rating, the highest possible. Simply put, your roof will never catch fire. Unlike wood shake or petroleum-based asphalt roofs, metal is inherently non-combustible and offers a high degree of fire protection for your entire home.
Lightning strikes
There is a common misconception out there that metal roofing is susceptible to lightning strikes. However, this is inherently untrue. The probability of a lightning strike is determined by a number of factors including the topography of the area, size, and height of structures in the area, relative location to nearby taller structures, and frequency of thunderstorms in the area. When struck by lightning, metal roofing actually provides superior protection than traditional roofing material because it is electrically conductive and noncombustible so the threat of fire is drastically reduced.
Metal roofing is very durable and will last you a very long time. If you have decided that it is time to replace your existing roof, then we encourage you to choose metal roofing material from Metal Roofing Solutions.
