Why Consider Metal for Your New Roof



Did you notice an old building covered with a metallic roof that looks spectacular, as those in architectural magazines? Do you like the idea to have a metal roof installed on your home too? Here are three basic things you need to know about this type of roof.

A metal roof has a high resistance and durability
Properly installed metal roofing in Panama City requires little maintenance, and with proper care, can last for a lifetime, not to mention that it is suitable for any type of building. Say goodbye to insects, moss and mildew, rot, or snow accumulation. You can also forget about the risk of water infiltration or fire, as well as about the sustainability issues of the roof cover. A metallic roof comes with long warranties, so you will not have think about a replacement anytime soon, if ever.
    A metal roof can be installed over the existing one
Even if you already have a roof, you can "change" it by mounting a metal one on top. Everything can be done without breaking the existing shingles, which is definitely more economic. But be careful! To prevent the formation of water vapor between the old and the new shingles, a proper ventilation system is required.
    The metal roof is soundproof
If in the past, one of the biggest inconvenient of a metal roof was the noise (during the storms, for example, raindrops or hail were quite loud on the metallic surface), but now this has improved. Metal roofs are treated and insulated to remain quiet.
