All About Metal Roofing – What it is and Why You Need It
Most homeowners are generally familiar with asphalt and composite roofing. These roofing materials are inexpensive, but they’re also thin and fragile. When the sun hits these roofs, the roofing soaks in the heat and allows it to transfer into the property while cooler air inside of the property escapes. This causes:
- Higher energy bills
- Homes that are hotter in summer
- Air conditioners that need to work extra hard to try to cool the home
It also may cause your roof to deteriorate faster, leading to more roof repair and roof replacement in the future.
Metal roofing is different.
Metal roofing shingles and panels reflect the light and heat back into the air, so they do not soak it or allow it to transfer through. It also keeps cool air inside, and is heavily insulated to prevent cool air from leaking. This makes metal roofing significantly more energy efficient, saving you money on your energy bills.
But metal roofing comes with other advantages as well:
- Metal is much more durable than shingles, and most metal roofing is rated to last 50+ years with less maintenance.
- Metal roofing tends to be easier to clean, as the debris buildup on the metal can be washed away with limited risk of damaging the metal panels.
- Metal roofing does not get hot or maintain heat, leading to less damage to the roofing material in the long term.
- Metal roofing is pest and mold resistant, and durable enough to withstand contact from heavy debris without chips or damage.
Most metal roofing, including the aluminum roofing and steel roofing we use here at Cal Energy, is also given additives that help the metal become even more energy efficient and reflect even more sunlight. Aluminum and steel also resist rust and have additives that protect against long term moisture damage. It also comes in almost any aesthetic, so if you are someone that likes the look of shingles, panels, or any other design, chances are there is at least one design that suits your aesthetics. Multiple colors may also be available depending on the type of roof and brand.

What Are The Downsides of Metal Roofing?
Metal roofing is unique in that there are very few downsides. It is even quiet in the rain due to its insulation. Cost can be an issue. Metal roofing does cost more than other forms of roofing. But maintenance costs tend to be lower, and longevity is far better. The amount saved on both energy efficiency and on no longer needing to replace your roofing in the future can be extensive and make up for the difference.
Metal roofing may also improve your property values at the time of sale, and are considered more aesthetically pleasing in the long term.

FAQs About Metal Roofing
Metal roofing – especially the term “metal” – can cause people to have many questions about the style of roof, the quality, and more. The following are some common questions, but contact us for more specific queries.
Q: Are Metal Roofs Loud?
A: No. Metal roofs are heavily insulated, and typically do not make much noise in rain. In fact, metal roofs are known to provide outstanding soundproofing from outside noises as well. Different brands offer different benefits, which we can talk about at the time of your consultation.
Q: Are Metal Roofs Heavy?
A: Surprisingly, also no. In fact, metal roofs are considered a lighter weight than traditional roofing (depending on the style). That means less potential damage and settling for your property.
Q: Can Metal Roofing Support Solar Panels?
A: Not only can metal roofing support solar panels, but there are reasons to believe it is even better for solar than other styles of roof. The main reason is that metal roofing is unlikely to need to be replaced. Most roofing is replaced every 10 to 15 years, while most solar is rated for 20+ years. This means that replacing a roof means taking apart your entire solar setup, which can introduce many problems and costs. Metal roofing can last 50, sometimes 70 years, so once solar is installed it should not need to be removed again.
