There are plenty of new concepts in the roofing industry these days but metal roofing is not one of them. However, since the rise in popularity in asphalt shingles like three-tabs and architectural shingle systems it seems that metal was put on the back-burner. That was until recently.
Metal roofing is on the move again in both the residential and commercial roofing markets. This is so for several key reasons from cost over time savings, environmentally conscious consumers and the ability to recycle the product itself.
Did you know that over “11 millions tons of “waste shingles” are generated every year”? This is according to a recent
study by the Environmental Protection Agency. As environmentally conscious consumers become more aware of facts like these — they begin looking for alternative products and measures.
Metal roofing being one of them.

Metal roofing typically comes in sheets or panels (often referred to as corrugated metal roofing or paneling) and a fastened to the deck of the structure. They may be made of out tin, aluminum, steel or even copper. And depending on your price point and atheistic preference, you can choose accordingly.
Copper metal roofing is definitely a pricer option but will last a long time as it is known to be more durable than other metals and fight corrosion better.
Lifespan of Metal Roofing
A typical asphalt shingle roof will last you between 15-30 years depending on certain elements and weather conditions. Not to mention how well you
maintain you roof. With proper maintenance, metal roofs last anywhere from 40-50 years on average. Should you choose do go with copper panels, you’ll get past 60 years!
