Non-Absorptive

As children we did climb roofs, did we not?  How warm the Asphalt roof felt, even after the sun had set. Asphalt roofing shingles, absorb heat and radiate it, just like most traditional roofing materials. Moreover, traditional roofing materials, radiate stored heat right into your homes. Metal roofing systems reflect light and heat and have a low thermal mass. Thus, they don’t absorb heat. The special reflective galvalume coatings of metal roofs re-emit heat making them cool.

Efficient Ventilation

When you work with an experienced metal roofing contractor, they install efficient ventilation. This increases the life of the metal roof and enhances its energy-efficient properties. Proper ventilation also keeps hot air circulating out of the home. Apart from cooling the temperature, during the summer months, it also works to your advantage during the winters. The ventilation helps vent moisture out of your home and minimizes mildew issues.
