Metal Roof vs Shingle Roof – Which is better for you?
Time to have a new roof installed? Or are you building your dream home? Now is the time to learn the pros and cons of two popular roofing system options––metal roofs and shingle roofs. Both roofing systems are long lasting, but there are some unique differences between them.
Metal Roof
Metal roofing systems can offer a range of benefits to homeowners. One of the key advantages of a metal roof is its longevity, as many can last between 40 to 70 years depending on their composition. Additionally, metal roofing is incredibly durable and capable of sustaining wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour.
If you think a metal roof is right for you, WeatherShield can provide you with a custom fit standing seam roof system. WeatherShield has years of expertise and a wealth of knowledge to provide you a best in class metal roof system. By taking precise measurements, our expert fabricators will roll each panel, trim, flashing, etc. on-site, which eliminates having to order prefabricated roof panels from a supplier. Here are just a few of the benefits of a metal roofing system installed by WeatherSheild:
- We use 24g metal when fabricating all of our roof panels as opposed to 26g which is a weaker metal
- Metal roofs are energy efficient
