3 Advantages of Steel Roofing
Anytime you build a house, you need to look at the materials you’re using. Whether it’s the wood for your wall studs, the type of concrete you’re pouring for the front walk, or the siding you’re putting up, every decision has consequences. Nowhere is this clearer than on your roof. Because while you might not see your roof every day, it’s a key part of your home sheltering you. Which is why you should depend on steel to get the job done.
3 Advantages of Steel Roofing
Advantage #1: Lifespan
Steel is strong, and properly installed and taken care of, it can last for decades. Asphalt shingles and other roofing options may be cheaper, and easy to install, but they’ll fall apart in fairly short order. As such, that means getting a new roof when steel could easily have weathered anything Mother Nature can throw your way.
Advantage #2: Smooth Lines, Attractive Aesthetics
Steel roofs give a home clean, smooth lines. Metal materials add a touch of the modern, and they ensure all fasteners are hidden. This presents a seamless appearance that complements the overall design, Making your home stand out from other, more traditional styles.
Advantage #3: Lightweight
While steel is often thought of as a heavy-duty building material, steel roofing materials are actually much lighter than the total weight of traditional shingles. A multi-layered shingle roof can be extremely heavy, but steel roofing sections can provide the same strength with only a fraction of the weight, which puts less stress on the overall structure.
These are, of course, just a few of the advantages steel roofing offers. For more information about what steel roofing could do for you, simply contact us today!
