Metal roofing is the most durable choice in extreme weather
The durability of a metal roofing system is unmatched. While an asphalt roof starts to deteriorate as soon as it is installed, metal roofs can withstand normal and extreme weather conditions including snow, rain, and the sun’s ultraviolet rays – ultimately helping you avoid re-roofing every 5 to 15 years.
Metal roofs can endure decades of abuse from extreme weather conditions such as hail, wildfires, and winds up to 140 mph. According to FEMA 75% of all U.S. homes are in areas that experience severe weather — hail, earthquakes, flooding, or hurricanes. So no matter where you live, a metal roof is a smart choice
The Benefits of a Husky Metal Roof
Weight
Metal roofing is light weight and, depending on the product, generally weighs between 50-150 pounds per square. This adds less stress to the structure of your home when compared to tile and asphalt. Metal Roofs can be installed over an existing roof without the need for tearing off the current roof or applying additional structural support.
Weather Protection
Metal roofing is the most durable choice for your home or business in extreme weather. Twice as many homeowners have chosen metal over other roofing materials like asphalt shingle, in the last 5 years. This is largely due to to the reassurance that comes with having a weather-resistant metal roof covering your home.
Value
Metal roofing systems offer a better return on your investment than any other remodeling upgrade by increasing the value of your home and preventing excessive maintenance costs in the long run. This structural improvement can help to maximize your home’s value and curb appeal. If you decide to sell your home, up to 95% of your investment can be recouped.
Longevity
When installed by an experienced and trusted contractor, a metal roof should last as long as the house. This longevity is accomplished by sealing out water, surviving high winds, and easily shedding snow. Metal roofs are resistant to fire, mildew, insects and rot. Additionally most paint is warrantied for a minimum of 30 years, meaning your roof will look good for decades!
Energy Savings
Metal roofing products reflect heat effectively to reduce forced cooling in the summer and insulate homes during the winter. In many cases, this can help to substantially lower energy bills. The secret to metal roofing’s energy savings is in the finish. A highly reflective and highly emissive painted or granular-coated metal can reduce energy consumption and can actually re-emit up to 90% of absorbed solar radiation.
