Metal Roofing Vs Common Asphalt Shingles
Pros of Metal Roofs:
Metal roofs are incredibly durable, lasting 40-70 years, which means fewer replacements over time. They offer excellent weather resistance, standing up to strong winds, hail, heavy snow, and fire without cracking or rotting. Metal roofs are also energy-efficient, reflecting sunlight to reduce cooling costs, and they require minimal maintenance—just occasional cleaning with water. Environmentally, metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and are recyclable at the end of their lifespan. They come in various styles and colors, enhancing your home’s curb appeal and increasing its resale value.Cons of Metal Roofs:
The primary downside of metal roofs is the higher upfront cost compared to asphalt shingles. They can also be noisier during heavy rain or hail, though modern installation techniques can mitigate this. Additionally, metal roofs can be dented by hail or other impacts, particularly if thinner gauge metals are used. Despite these cons, the long-term benefits and durability often make metal roofs a worthwhile investment.Need a Quote?

Common Materials Used For Metal Roofs
Tin, zinc, aluminum, and copper are rarely used for roofing today. Steel is the primary metal roofing material regularly installed, particularly the Westform Prolok 12 or 16. While copper may be used for detailed ornamentation, full copper or zinc roofs are typically chosen by those looking for a custom, luxurious style of roof where price is not a limitation. Steel remains the most practical and common choice for most homeowners.
Panels Vs Tiles
When considering metal roofing, there are two main styles available from most roofing supply stores: panels and tiles. Each style offers distinct aesthetics and functionalities to suit various needs and preferences.
Panels
Corrugated Panels: Recognizable by their wavy or ridged profile, corrugated panels are lightweight, affordable, and easy to install. These qualities make them a popular choice for commercial buildings and sheds.
Standing Seam Panels: These flat panels feature raised seams on either side that interlock to create a watertight seal. Known for their sleek, modern look and high wind resistance, standing seam panels are ideal for residential applications.
R-Panels: Similar to corrugated panels, R-Panels have a rounded profile with a deeper trough. They are strong, affordable, and often used for agricultural buildings.
Tiles
Metal Shingles: Designed to mimic traditional asphalt shingles, metal shingles come in various shapes and styles. They offer a classic aesthetic while providing the durability and benefits of metal roofing.
Metal Slate: These tiles replicate the appearance of natural slate but are much lighter and more affordable. They are a popular choice for homeowners seeking a high-end look without the weight or cost of real slate.
Metal Tile: Resembling clay or concrete tiles, metal tiles come in a variety of styles and colors. They provide a Mediterranean or Spanish-style appearance with the added durability of metal.
