Regardless of whether you’re replacing an existing roof or having a brand new one installed, there are all sorts of materials available in order to help make sure you have the best roof possible for your home. Metal roofs are considered to be an option that’s extremely attractive thanks to the following factors:
*Energy efficiency
*Longevity
*Minimal amount of maintenance
You can also choose from the following materials for your metal roof to be made out of:
*Tin
*Zinc
*Aluminum
*Copper
*Galvanized steel
Here are some of the pros and cons of having a metal roof.
Pros

*Durability (sustaining wind gusts of up to 140 miles per hour)
*Safety (will not catch on fire)
*Energy efficiency (energy costs can be reduced between 10% and 25%)
*Environmentally friendly (roofs contain 25% to 95% of recycled content and can be completely recycled when no longer in use)
