Metal roofs reflect the sun, which reduces the amount of heat penetrating the home. A reflective roof can reduce peak cooling demand by 10 to 15 percent. That, in turn, means the home’s cooling system needs less energy to cool the house. Some metal roofs can save up to 25 percent in energy costs compared to a dark gray asphalt shingle roof.
Some metal roofs come with warranties of up to 50 years, but can literally last for hundreds of years, whereas traditional roofs typically last 10 to 20 years. Metal roof shingles in Caledon Ontario aren’t as vulnerable to hail, wind and fire damage and some insurance companies even offer discounts on homeowners policies due to metal storm-resistant properties.
