Metal roofs are extremely popular nowadays for Spartanburg roofing and we see them everywhere, on residential, commercial or industrial buildings. There are different types of metal profiles and styles that can fit on almost any construction.
Many manufacturers claim that metal roofs are practically maintenance-free, cheap and have a longer service life compared to other roofing materials.
The long service life of metal roofs is one of the major advantages. Many companies producing metal roofing offer a warranty period of up to fifty years. This is definitely a longer period than the life span of more common materials such as asphalt shingles or traditional cedar shakes.
The light weight of a metal roof is another benefit that must not be overlooked. Metal shingles are significantly lighter than clay or concrete tiles. In addition, this light weightness allows for a perfect installation, even on very complex roof shapes and, in addition, it will save money, as it will require the construction of a less complex supporting structure.
Metal roofs are quick and easy to install, which also saves you on installation costs.
Metal roofs are recyclable and, given that they reflect the sun’s rays instead of absorbing them, they provide better thermal efficiency, during summer. In other words, you will not need to use your air conditioning so often.
