Stating the Case for Installing Effective, Affordable Metal Roof Insulation

Architects and property owners choose metal roofing over slate, tile, or concrete for a number of reasons. Key factors which can lead to choosing metal roofing as a solution are:


Resistance to the elements & reduced maintenance


Metal roofs are a very effective barrier against UV rays, harmlessly deflecting them back into the atmosphere. They are also very good at repelling heavy rain, strong winds, snow, and hail. Metal roofing is much less likely to be affected by damage from pests too, as metal is incredibly strong and durable. Metal roofs are also resistant to cracking, shrinking, and eroding. In terms of lifespan, you can expect a typical metal roof to last 40 years at least.

Indeed, the inherent properties of metal mean that metal roofing requires very little in terms of maintenance. All that’s required is a scheduled yearly inspection along with regular cleaning to keep them in good serviceable condition. It’s also worth stating that metal roofing offers unbeatable fire resistance because metal is a non-combustible material.


When you consider these factors together, it’s not difficult to appreciate why so many property owners and architects choose metal roofing, and that’s not to mention the fact that metal is considered environmentally friendly and sustainable. Metal roofing is very easily recycled and is energy-efficient because it reflects solar heat, keeping buildings cooler in warm months.


Metal roof restoration 

As with all roofing, there will inevitably come a time when metal roofing does require some form of repair or restoration. It’s at this point that it is seriously worth considering adding metal roof insulation. 


Insulation, in the form of spray foam, can be added to existing metal roofs which can dramatically increase the R-value, which leads to reduced energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.


Metal roof insulation is a very cost-effective solution for increasing energy efficiency that can last for many years. Adding metal roof insulation at the same time that reparation or restoration is being conducted will make the upgrade even more cost-effective, as contractors will already be onsite and will have cleaned and prepared the roof in preparation for the work.

Many homeowners often forget their roof when looking to enhance their home, the roof is actually a huge contributor towards energy efficiency.

As a result, you could be forced to use much more energy on cooling and heating your property, which in turn contributes towards global warming. With ever rising utility bills and the threat of climate change, any energy savings we can make are incredibly worthwhile.  Another great advantage of a...

Tar & Gravel Roof Replacement - An Eco-Friendly Guide

Image
If you have a tar or gravel roof that’s in need of replacement, think twice before you decide to replace like-for-like. Directly replacing Tar & Gravel roofing with the same system can have adverse environmental consequences. In this short piece we’ll discuss why you should consider spray foam roofing (SPF) rather than tar & gravel roof replacement .  Tar roofing often contains fairly hazardous materials which can cause damage to the local environment.  The gravel used for roofing is a non-renewable resource which has a tendency to block drainage systems, and the process of manufacturing aggregates can be very labor-intensive, leaving visible scars on the landscape.  So instead of directly replacing Tar & Gravel roofing, you should carefully consider applying spray foam roofing instead. SPF offers many benefits over tar and gravel, and is more environmentally friendly. SPF is quick to apply and it creates much less in the way of mess than either tar or gravel ...
