Are you looking for durable, sustainable cool roofing? Metal roofing has enjoyed an increase in popularity. With superior strength and fireproof design, it is no wonder that metal roofs have become the number one choice in 21st century innovative construction. Cool metal roofs, often standing seam roof panels, save energy and keep your structure cool no matter the climate. Choosing the right metal roofing colors and coating increases the efficacy of the panels.
How Does Cool Roofing Actually Work?
If you want to save energy with a low maintenance construction solution, look no further than metal roofs. No matter the roof material, all roofs absorb solar energy. Hot roofs will transfer heat into the building. This can cause problems in harsh climates or for buildings holding temperature sensitive materials and products. Sweltering summer temperatures can cause extreme discomfort and damage, no matter the region. Combine a cool roof with the right ultra-reflective metal roofing colors and paint to reduce heat by half!
Avoid air conditioning costs with a metal roof. The cool roof reflects back the heat. Lighter colors with special baked-on UV-protection will adds extra protection. Slash air conditioning costs by over fifteen percent with a metal roof. The cooler roof does not transfer the heat into the building. Instead your structure remains comfortable with a constant temperature.
Harmful ultraviolet rays bounce away from your building. Decrease chemical damage and extreme heat. Avoid thermal fatigue. Increase the lifespan of you building and roof. In fact, your metal roof will last for forty years or more. Compare that to traditional asphalt roofing that fails after only fifteen years. Additionally, traditional roofs are susceptible to high winds, harsh weather, cold temperature, fire, pests, and moisture. Your rust-proof metal roof remains safe from termites, mold, rot, and fire.
Green Construction
Metal roofs have additional benefits besides increased energy savings. Most solar panels can be easily installed on metal roofing. Metal roofs often have recycled materials and can be recycled. In some cases, install a metal roof over an older roof, save on demolish costs and labor. Avoid expensive operating costs because metal roofs do not require constant maintenance and replacement.
