Why metal roofs are a good green choice

A metal roof is the most environmentally friendly solution for your home. Here's why:

• Metal roofing has a minimal carbon footprint and can last up to two to three times as long as other roofing materials.
• Metal roofing is naturally more energy efficient and can save homeowners up to 40% per cent on their yearly energy costs.
• A metal looks great and will last for around 50 years.
• New metal roofs contain recycled metal from anywhere between 25%-95%.
• The metal can also be recycled again at the end of its life.
• A light-coloured metal roof can also reduce energy expenditure and make your home up to 10 degrees cooler than a dark-coloured roof.
• Metal roof materials rarely become waste in a landfill.
