What Makes Metal Roofing More Environmentally Friendly?
The environment is a major concern of many homeowners. One green solution is to install a metal roof. It is more environmentally friendly than other options. Reasons include:
- Longevity: Metal roofs can endure challenging weather conditions and still last for a maximum of 50 years. Such a long service life reduces the amount of material required over time to replace a roof. This results in less roofing material ending up in landfill sites.
- Energy Efficiency: A reflective surface, metal roofing reduces the need for spending more money on cooling.
- Recyclable: Metal roofing is usually constructed of recycled metal. When it reaches the end of its lifespan, the material can once more be recycled.
These qualities make metal roofing among the most popular choices for those looking for green solutions.
