Why metal roofing?
Investing in a metal roof is a wise decision. The benefits offered by today's metal roofing systems is far and above other systems. Let's compare the typical conventional shingle system to a metal roofing system:
Conventional shingles absorb heat, creating high temperatures in the higher points of your home during the summer months, which forces your cooling system to work harder to keep the conditioned space below comfortable. We all understand what this means: higher energy usage creates higher energy bills.
J&D Metal Building & Supply offers, as an option, metal roofing that is Energy Star Rated. The industry term is "Cool Metal Roofing".
What is Cool Metal Roofing?
The term cool roofing refers to the ability to minimize heat gain through the roof surface. It can be described by two terms: solar reflectance and thermal emittance. The combination of those properties determines the surface temperature of a roof and its ability to act cool. Metal roofing has a wide range of solar reflectance and thermal emittance values, making it the most versatile and energy efficient choice for roofing in many different climates and applications.
How can Cool Metal Roofing affect my energy usage?
Cool roofing owners have reported annual energy savings up to 40%. Metal roofing solar reflectance and thermal emittance capabilities can reduce air conditioning and heating costs, which reduce the smog and pollution that are created by the production of that energy. Some insurance companies offer discounts to customers for using a qualified metal roof.
Environmentally Friendly
Metal roofing’s durability can virtually eliminate the need to use future raw materials to produce roofing. It is practically unaffected by weather cycles and forces. Most metal roofs have recycled content ranging from 25% to 95%. Conventional roofing shingles have much shorter lives and use oil-based products as their primary raw material. Metal also has the added benefit of being 100% recyclable if it is ever removed.
Warranties
