Metal Roofing
Metal roofs used to be found only on architect-designed houses but recently metal roofs are making a break into mainstream building, and why not? Not only does it look great and give you a variety of design options, if properly installed and maintained, a metal roof can last up to 50 years or more.
Advantages of Metal Roofing
In addition to it’s long life span, metal roofing is impervious to termites, rot and mildew. And because it conducts heat from the sun more quickly than standard roofing materials, snow slides off more quickly – just the thing for South Dakota winters!
You may be surprised that sheet metal roofing is no noisier than any other type of roof and can be installed over your existing roof. In addition, metal roofing does not attract lightning any more than a traditional roof does. In fact, if it is struck by lightning, it is less combustible then typical roofing materials. Some insurance companies also allow discounts for specific weather-resistant metal roofing products.
So what are the drawbacks of metal roofing?
For one it is dangerously slippery, and even more so when wet. In addition, because aluminum and copper are softer metals, they may dent in a severe hailstorm if the stones are large but steel roofing will fare better because it is harder. Also, metal roofing is more difficult to handle and fabricate unless you are a professional trained to work with corrugated or sheet metal roofing.
