Metal Roofing System Facts You Need to Know

Metal roofing systems are steadily becoming more popular among homeowners and business owners because of their great benefits. Metal roofs are strong and durable, and they can last for decades with regular maintenance. 

Metal Roofs Won’t Make Your Home More Vulnerable to Lightning

One of the most persistent myths about metal roofing systems is that they make a building more vulnerable to lightning. This isn’t true because lightning finds the tallest object to strike. Simply installing a metal roof on your building won’t increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. Even if lightning did strike a metal roof, it won’t cause increased damage to the building because the energy will be dispersed throughout the structure.

Metal Roofs Are Very Tough and Durable

Metal is a good material for residential roofing systems. Metal is immune to the effects of long-term sun exposure and moisture. It is tough enough to withstand heavy rains, strong winds and other adverse weather conditions. Metal roofing manufacturers are confident in their products’ longevity and durability, which is why they offer roofing warranties that can last for up to 50 years.

Metal Roofs Come in a Variety of Colors and Designs

Metal roofing systems come in a wide range of colors, designs and profiles. They can look fantastic on practically any kind of architectural style because manufacturers make all sorts of metal roof designs. There are metal roofing systems that can imitate the appearance of other popular materials like slate and tile. Metal can also be painted practically any kind of color.
