Roofing 4 Metal Roofing Myths: Exposing the Truth

4 Metal Roofing Myths: Exposing the Truth

May 22, 2015 by Jesse Curry

There are different roofing materials available on the market today. The main features that you should look for are durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Roofing by Curry can give you all three features in one installation with our metal roofs.

We know that you’ve been hearing a lot of myths about metal roofs. Here are four of the most common myths about metal roofs and the truth behind each one.

1. Metal roofs are noisy
Did you know that properly installed and insulated metal roofs could be quieter than asphalt shingles? They can actually reduce noise from hail, storms, and rain better than other roofing materials in the market.

2. Metal roofs increase the chances of lightning strikes
Although lightning usually strikes the tallest object in an area, such as poles or trees, regardless of what material it is made from, the chance of a metal roof being hit by lightning is similar to any other type of roofing material. However, if your home is hit by lightning, don’t be afraid, the energy will safely scatter throughout your home, keeping you safe.

3. Metal roofs will rust
With today’s advanced technology, metal roofs are built to last longer than other roofing materials. Special metallic coatings are applied on metal roofs to prevent rust from forming. This coating is bonded to the material right from the manufacturing process.

4. Metal roofs are not energy-efficient
The truth is that metal roofs can actually keep your home cool during hot days and warm during cold days. According to research conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center, painted white metal roofing has a reflective solar heat value of 66.6, far greater than ordinary asphalt shingles and tiles.

To beat the Florida heat, Roofing by Curry, one of the best professional roofers in Sarasota, recommends metal roofs. This type of roofing is perfect for areas that receive a great amount of moisture. It is also wind-resistant and fire-resistant and can shed rain effectively. Metal roofs are also lightweight and can be made to look like wood shakes, asphalt shingles, or tile. Aside from being versatile, this type of roofing is also available in a wide variety of colors and textures. If properly installed, your new metal roof can last up to 50 years.

As reliable roofers in Sarasota, FL, we offer the best types of metal roofing: standing seam, 5V-crimp, and metal tile. Call us today at (941) 270-4770 if you want to learn more about our metal roofing services. You can also browse through our previous projects here.
