by | Aug 30, 2016 | Construction and Maintenance

Bolingbrook IL roofers can help you get the metal roof you want for your property. More and more residential homes are using metallic roofs due to their countless advantages. A roof is not only a protective cover over the building but it serves to add to the aesthetic value of a home. Metal roofs come in many colors which gives you an opportunity to match your roof with the architectural design of your residential house.

Outstanding Features of Choosing a Sheet Metal Roof

Sheet metals are long lasting; they can last up to 20 years. The galvanized protection together with current coating techniques prolongs the life of the metal sheets. The sheets require low maintenance cost which makes them more attractive. When you use metal sheets, you are combining low maintenance with durable material which is good for the environment and it saves on costs.

Further technology advances allow the sheets to dissipate solar energy due to their high emissivity ratings. Some metals have highly reflective surfaces and they come with designs which help them in ventilation and insulation. Such designs save on cooling and heating costs.

With the rise in greenhouse gases and the increase in environmentally sustainable techniques, home builders are looking for environmentally friendly materials. Sheet metal is made from recycled steel and it can be recycled once it is damaged beyond use.

Other benefits include;

  • The sheets are light in weight so they do not tamper with the structural life and integrity of the building

  • Some sheets are fire resistant while others are wind resistant due to their interlocking panels
