Pros and cons of metal roofs

​

Whether you're putting a roof on a new home, or your existing roof requires a total makeover, there are many materials available. But no matter what roof style you have, a metal-roof can be an attractive option because of its longevity, minimal maintenance, and energy efficiency.

Advantages of metal roofs

  • Longevity. Metal roofs can last 30-50 years, depending on the material and thickness used.

  • Durability. Some metal roofs can sustain wind gusts up to 100 Km/h, will not corrode or crack, and may be impact-resistant (depending on which metal you choose). In addition, metal roofs don't need the periodic costly maintenance that other roofing materials often require. However, they should be inspected periodically to make sure no repairs are required.

  • Safety. Metal roofs will not spark and ignite into flames during a wildfire or lightning strike.

  • Energy efficiency. Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25

  • Environmentally friendly. Metal roofs not only have 25-95% recycled content, depending on the material used but are also 100% recyclable at the end of their life as a roof.

Disadvantages of metal roofs

  • Affordability. Metal roofs can be as much as two or three times more expensive than other roofing materials. While the life of a metal roof is much longer, investing in a metal roof only makes sense if you plan to stay in your home long enough to enjoy the cost benefits.

  • Noisiness. Metal roofs can be noisy, especially during heavy rain or hailstorm. Adding more insulation during installation usually solves this problem, but that may increase costs.

  • Expansion and contraction. Metal roofing materials that are attached as large panels tend to expand and contract. If they are not properly installed with fasteners that allow the metal to "breathe," the panels may loosen.

  • Inconsistency of color match. If a repair is required or a home extension is added years later, it may be difficult to find an exact match to the existing metal.
