YourBurlington roofer can consult with you on the best type, color and style to choose.

Here’s why a metal roof is better than other materials for winter weather.

Metal roofs:

Are Better at Shedding Snow

Metal roof are designed to shed snow faster and more efficiently than other roofing materials such as asphalt shingles. Its smooth surface and conductive properties don’t give snow much traction in clinging to your roof, so it just slides off.

Protect Against Ice Dams

With the right snow guards in place, roof avalanches and sliding ice are not a cause for concern with metal roofs. It also helps if you have sufficient insulation in your attic, which can also help prevent ice dams.

Offer Reliable Wind Protection

Reliable roofs are necessary when those winter winds are howling. Strong winds can send asphalt shingles flying off, but> standing seam metal roofs

Offer Better Home Insulation Values in Winter

Metal is a natural conductor, which locks in warm indoor air about 20 degrees better than asphalt roofs do.

Are Energy Efficient Year-Round

A metal roof keeps your home warmer in the winter, but thanks to its natural reflectivity, it absorbs less radiation from the sun, which means it will stay cooler in the summer too. It’s easy to save in energy costs with a metal roof, making this material a very smart investment.

Resist Elements

Metal roofs are wind-, fire- and lightning-resistant. And because they do not harbor standing water, moisture can’t penetrate. As a result, no mold, mildew, or moss will grow.

Are Easier to Install in Winter

Many popular roofing materials need dry, sunny weather conditions for installation. But metal roofing installation isn’t so restricted. It can be installed in all weather temperatures – even extreme cold. So why wait till spring to book your metal roof installation when you can get it done now before winter hits?
