Winter is almost upon us, but it’s not too late to get your roof replaced with metal roofing in Tinley Park, IL. In addition to its longevity – metal roofing lasts much longer than most roofing materials. It also offers the best defense against extreme cold weather. Here are reasons why it’s the ideal roofing for winter.
Advantages of Metal Roofing
- Metal roofing can be installed during winter – The main advantage metal roofing has when it comes to winterizing your home is that, barring a snowstorm, metal roofs can be installed in the middle of winter. They do not become brittle under extreme cold, unlike other roofing materials.
- Metal roofs are lighter – Metal roofs are ideal if you have limited time and resources for transitioning from a different Munster roofing material like asphalt shingles. Metal roofs are lighter, eliminating the need to reinforce the original roof deck. This is ideal if you need to expedite an installation. Despite the light weight, it can support a heavy layer of snow without buckling.
- Metal roofs are energy efficient – A properly-designed and installed metal roofing system creates an effective barrier that reduces heat loss and maximizes energy efficiency. It also prevents ice dams by keeping a consistent temperature throughout the entire roof area.
- Metal roofs shed snow – Snow accumulates on every roofing type. Too much accumulated snow would weighs the roof down and threaten its structural integrity. Metal roofs, on the other hand, let snow simply slide off as soon as the temperatures rise above freezing.
Our Metal Roofing Options
Our options aren’t limited to just standing seam metal roofing. We also offer Gerard® Stone Coated Steel Roofs, which features the aforementioned benefits. It also has several design options that include metal roofing that mimic the look of asphalt shingles, clay tiles, cedar shakes, or slate. The stone-coated roofing material also features structural grade steel coated with an acrylic base coat, with protective layers of ceramic earth-stone granules and a clear acrylic over-glaze. These features ensure that the base metal isn’t exposed to moisture that may corrode metal.
