Metal roofing can be installed during the winter season
The main advantage metal roofing has when it comes to winterizing your home is that, barring a snowstorm, metal roofs can be installed in the middle of winter. They do not become brittle under extreme cold, unlike other roofing materials.
A metal roof is lighter than other materials
Metal roofs are ideal if you have limited time and resources for transitioning from different materials like asphalt shingles. Metal roofs are lighter, eliminating the need to reinforce the original roof deck. This is ideal if you need to expedite an installation. Despite the lightweight, it can support a heavy layer of snow without buckling.
A metal roof is energy efficient
A properly-designed and installed metal roofing system creates an effective barrier that reduces heat loss and maximizes energy efficiency. It also prevents ice dams by keeping a consistent temperature throughout the entire roof area.
Your metal roof can shed snow
A metal roof can actually shed snow buildup on your roof. This is because the metal material can absorb the sun’s heat and keep the roof at a good temperature. The snow then melts off the roof and falls to the ground or evaporates. This helps you avoid roof leaks due to the continued moisture build-up.
