Metal roofing could help you save money on energy bills
The cost of energy seems to be increasing every year. An old roof with poor insulation can increase your energy consumption. Stone-coated steel roofing is a great way to save energy and money.
Stone-coated steel roofing is laid in large panels, which overlap over strong plywood decks. This is similar to shingles. An air pocket is formed between the panels. It adds an additional layer of insulation and dampens outside noise. Additional layers such as sheetrock ceilings, decking underlayment and moisture barriers help keep warm and cool winter air out.
The roof will prevent warm air from escaping, which can help maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home and lower your heating bills. In the summer, metal roofs can be especially beneficial because of their insulation qualities. They will help prevent cool, conditioned, air from escaping your business structures.
Steel roofing is able to boost insulation while also naturally lowering the building's interior temperature during the summer months. Sunlight hits a roof and is either absorbed or reflected off the roof. Metal roofing does not absorb heat like asphalt, and it doesn't make buildings hotter. This style of roofing lets in less heat. Your roof is protected from UV radiation by stone-coated steel roofing.
