• Metal roofs can last up to 100 years, and installers offer 50-year warranties. Due to their longevity, most metal roofs are less expensive than asphalt shingles in the long run. 

 

• Metal roofing can consist of a high percentage of recycled material and is 100% recyclable.  Does not get as hot as asphalt, a common roofing material, and reflects heat from the building below in summer. 

 

• On a larger scale, its use reduces the heat island effect of cities compared to asphalt. Along with their better insulation capabilities.

 

• Metal roofs can offer not only a 40% reduction in energy costs in the summer, but also up to a 15% reduction in energy costs in the winter, according to a study 2008 from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. 

 

• Metal roofs are also lightweight, create little stress on load-bearing roof support structures, and can be installed over an existing roof. A lightweight roof is very useful for large or older structures as it helps maintain the overall structural integrity of the building.  

 

• Despite their light weight, metal roofing provides greater wind resistance compared to other roofing materials.  Metal roofing sheets are also resistant to any type of attack by pests and insects. 

 

• If installed correctly, some metal roofs can withstand wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour, are not subject to corrosion or cracking, and may be impact resistant (depending on the type of metal you choose).

 

• Plus, metal roofs don't need the periodic and costly maintenance that other roofing materials often require.

 

• They tend to be much lighter than other materials, their weight varies according to the type and caliber of the sheet, thanks to this they require less investment in the support structure.

​

• Although the material is light, compared to others, its resistance is outstanding, it is capable of withstanding rain and hail (according to the caliber and type of sheet).

 

• Another important aspect is the installation, it can be done in a maximum time of 2 to 3 days if you do not have the experience, but if you do have it you can do it in up to one day, it also has a lower cost than fiber cement ceilings .

 

• Finally, they are of great help to the environment because they are recyclable. It is important to be aware of this point, since today it is necessary to use materials that help preserve the planet.
