Why Choose Metal

Delving into Why More People are Using Metal as Their Material of Choice

Metal roofing has been used for centuries, but asphalt shingles dominated the mid-20th century. Today, a shift is underway as more building owners opt for metal roofs due to their durability, energy efficiency, and fire resistance—plus, they’re becoming more affordable. This article explores the benefits of metal roofing and what to consider before making the switch.

Key Benefits of Metal Roofs

Durability – Resistant to wind, hail, snow, and fire, metal roofs last for decades.
Energy Efficiency – Reflects heat, reducing cooling costs.
Fire Resistance – Non-combustible material enhances safety.
Low Maintenance – No painting or sealing required, easy to clean.
Longevity – Outlasts traditional roofing, making it cost-effective.
Aesthetic Variety – Available in diverse styles and colors.
Eco-Friendly – Often made from recycled materials and fully recyclable.
Curb Appeal – Provides a sleek, modern look.

Metal Roofs & Architectural Design

While once associated with industrial buildings, today’s metal roofing blends aesthetics with performance, offering diverse styles for modern, contemporary, and traditional architecture.

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Unlike asphalt shingles that end up in landfills, metal roofs are recyclable. Their eco-friendly nature benefits commercial building owners by aligning with green standards and improved business reputation.

Dispelling Common Myths

Cost – While the initial investment is higher, long-term savings outweigh the expense.
Rust & Dents – Engineered coatings and durable materials prevent corrosion and impact damage.
Heat Retention – Reflects rather than absorbs heat, keeping buildings cooler.
Noise & Leaks – Proper underlayment reduces noise, and neoprene washers prevent leaks.
Lightning – Metal does not attract lightning and safely disperses electrical charges.

If durability, efficiency, and sustainability matter, metal roofing is a smart choice. Key steps include:

Finding a Quality Supplier – Work with reputable companies like Delta Metals, an industry leader since 2008.
