For decades, asphalt shingles seemed like the only choice when it came to residential roofing materials. The majority of American homes boast of shingles – but all that is changing. Metal roofing is moving to the head of the pack as both a practical and aesthetically pleasing option for San Antonio homeowners.
Advances in manufacturing metal roofing materials means that there are now more affordable styles and colors than ever before.
Standing Seam
The most popular type of metal roofing is what is known as the standing seam style. This system is comprised of large panels that start at top of the roof and run down to the eaves. Each panel is connected using a strong and secure interlocking design that creates a raised seam. Not only does this seam create a weatherproof connection between panels, it also creates a stylish and appealing seam pattern on your roof. Despite the name “standing seam”, this style of roofing actually has far fewer seams than traditional roofs. Every panel is either cut on site on prefabricated in a factory so that it extends the vertical length of your roof. Vertical seams provide increased protection from the elements.
Stone Coated Steel
Customers can also choose from among a variety of different stone coated roofing panels that offer the look of clay and tile roofing materials and the energy efficiency and extended lifespan of metal roofing. This revolutionary material has been developed so that homeowners can experience all the benefits of metal without sacrificing any design opportunities. Panels can he shaped to resemble a variety of tile, shaker and shingle styles.
Return on Investment – Metal Roofing
Although the initial cost of installing standing seam or stone coated panels can be more expensive than traditional materials, customers save money over time. Metal roofs have been designated as “cool roofs” by the Environmental Protection Agency. This means that you use a lighter paint color that will reflect heat and help keep your home a constant temperature. The interlocking installation system will also prevent damage and prolong the life of your roof and any underlying materials. Installing a metal roof means that you get to enjoy a stylish, long-lasting and energy efficient roof.
