Metal Roofing is both eco-friendly and cost-effective. A metal roof adds modern character to a residential property and memorable flair to a commercial building. Home and business owners can choose from a wide range of metal roofing materials including aluminum, copper, and steel. The materials come in a variety of styles including standing seam, batten seam, simulated Spanish tiles, and metal shingle roof systems; all of which feature a broad spectrum of color choices. Metal roofing also has a 30-50 year life-span when properly installed, is up to 100% recyclable when removed, and can help qualify your building for LEED credits. Proper installation includes using Ice & Water Shield (rather than simple felt) as an underlayment, quality materials from a recognized manufacturer (Atas, Petersen, Merchant & Evans, Wrisco, etc), and a certified installer/contractor.
Furthermore, innovative thin-film solar-integrated standing seam metal roofing materials are now available. This simple solution is light-weight and requires no penetration to the roof. Images are shown below.
