Metal Roofing FAQs
Are there any disadvantages of a metal roof? Some types of metal roofing are prone to rust, especially in coastal climates. Steel can rust, but roofing companies use galvanized steel to offset the chance of rusting. Aluminum is rust-resistant but may not be suitable for some residential roofing homes because of its aesthetics.
How long do metal roofs really last? The average metal roof will last between 40-70 years. Some materials, like copper roofing, will last even longer — with some copper roofs dating back over 100 years. There are also a number of factors that can increase the longevity of your roof, as well as decrease it
Do metal roofs attract lightning? Extensive research has proven that metal roofing is no more likely to attract a lightning strike than any other type of roofing material. In fact, as a non-combustible material with the highest Class A fire-resistance rating, metal roofing is one of the best materials for homes in lightning-prone regions.
Do metal roofs require underlayment? Regardless of the roofing material used, all types of roofing systems require the underlayment to help protect them from the elements, including rain. Metal roofs are no exception, and they are typically installed with underlayment designed to reduce the noise generated during heavy rain or hail.
Do metal roofs interfere with cell phone reception? Despite what you may have heard, metal roofs do not disrupt cell service. That said, this misinformation probably comes from the fact that your metal roof can worsen existing service problems. If a utility tower sits close to a home or business with a metal roof, then you may experience interruptions to your service.
Why not put metal roof over shingles? Metal roofing materials can be heavier than traditional asphalt shingles, and when combined with the weight of the existing shingles, it can put excessive stress on the roof's structure. This can compromise the integrity of the roof and potentially lead to structural issues over time.
Do metal roofs make house hotter? Because metal roofs have a low thermal mass, they reflect light and heat rather than absorbing it like asphalt shingles. This means that rather than making your home hotter during the summer months, metal roofing actually helps keep it cool, increasing the energy efficiency of your home
Do metal roofs leak a lot? Metal roof leaks are not unusual, but they can be extremely costly. Undetected and unchecked, a leak can allow moisture to collect on roof supports, interior walls and ceilings, and even structural supports that keep the building standing. Over time, moisture can cause these building components to rust or rot.
