As surprising as it may be, there are actually, some fairly popular trends when it comes to home roofing materials. Today, one of the most popular trends is metal roofing. This is interesting because Metal Roofing Tucson has been around for a long time. However, regardless of its past, today it is a popular option, and it is a good option for roofing materials for some different reasons outside of its popularity.
Pure Aesthetics
From a standpoint of looks, a metal roof is fairly symmetrical and offers a nice neutral backdrop for the home. However, with painted finishes, for which metal roofing is very common these days, a neutral background can be changed rather dramatically with a rich or a vibrant painted finish.
Longevity
A metal roof, if taken care of, should last as long as the home does. Technically, life expectancy for metal roofs is figured between 20 and 50 years. However, many metal roofs can last as long as 70 to 100 years if not longer. It is important to note that metal roof with painted finishes has a warranty on the finish for 30 years.
Lightweight
What some people fail to realize is that roofing structures can only handle so much weight, and even though asphalt shingles are fairly synonymous on roofs, they are the lightest materials to use. The simple fact is that metal roofs, because of the thinness of the corrugated metal used, is the lightest type of roofing material that a homeowner can use. For homes that have had to deal with the stress of heavier roofing materials, a lighter roof may save the home trussing structure.
Easy to Install
Lastly, Metal Roofing in Tucson is extremely easy to install. What may take a great deal of time for other roofing materials may take half as much time if not less to install when the materials are metal.
If you’re looking for a roof for your new home, or you’re looking for replacement materials for your existing roof, you may want to consider metal roofing. While it is trendy, there is something timeless about it, and it’s the type of material that may never have to be replaced.
