McAllen Tx Roofer, Rhino Tuff Roofing, Explains Why Metal Roofing Is THE Green Building Choice.
Metal roofing is part of a growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products. People are seeking out: Recycled, Organic, Environmentally-friendly additions to their homes.
Metal roofing falls into the category of eco-friendly products for a number of reasons, including energy savings, longevity, recyclability.
Compared to dark gray/asphalt shingles, a metal roof can save a residence up to 25 percent in cooling costs. This is because the reflective & emissive properties of the roof reduces the penetrating heat by almost 45 percent. Energy savings are not just good for the wallet, they are also good for the environment. Less energy consumed = a reduced dependency on fossil fuels burned.
A metal roof lasts an average of 50 years which is 2x – 3x longer than your average asphalt shingle roof. More than likely, a metal roof will be the last roof a homeowner will need to install on their home, reducing:
- Time
- Energy
- Money
- Materials
that would be spent on a re-roofing project. In addition to the savings on building materials, the longevity of a metal roof also reduces waste.
Metal roofing contributes to a growing market for recycled steel, including cars, dishwashers, & refrigerators. All steel roofs contain at least 25 percent recycled content, which is 100 percent recyclable.
From construction to renovation, through the end of their long lives, metal roofs prove themselves to be entirely Green. There eco-friendly properties satisfy a need for Green building, energy savings, & home design.
