Mythbusting On Metal Roofs

Are Metal Roofs Noisy?

A metal roof is a great option for a variety of reasons. Not only is it extremely durable, but it’s also relatively easy to apply. In addition, with options like stone-coated steel roofing, there are ways to reap the benefits of metal while also having more aesthetic options. However, every option has its pros and cons. When it comes to metal roofs, there are some potential cons that may be based in myth rather than fact. For example, one major concern people have about metal roofing in Denver is that it’s overly noisy. This is less of a falsehood and more of an outdated methodology. Many people think that a metal roof on a home is the same type of roof that we used to see on barns or other buildings. In the rain or hail, this would make a lot of noise. However, metal residential roofs have a layer of AFB wood or plywood below the roof. This cuts down on the noise that you would hear.

Are Metal Roofs Expensive?

One of the other reasons that some people may be reluctant to get a metal roof for their home is the perception that they are the pricier option. Here, there’s a shred of truth, in metal roofs being more expensive than options like asphalt upfront. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t be ultimately profitable in the long run. Remember, metal also lasts far longer than some of the cheaper options out there, meaning less money for repairs and replacements. For commercial and industrial settings, where durability is key and aesthetics aren’t as important, this makes metal roofs an especially appealing option. If you plan on owning a property permanently, buying a metal roof may cost more upfront, but is the more financially-friendly option overall.
