What are the benefits of having a metal roof in Victoria installed on a building?
Metal roofs are becoming more popular and there are some huge benefits involved.
But it’s important to be aware of what is involved with having a metal roof installed.

Pros

Longevity
“The main benefits of a metal roof is the fifty year lifetime warranty, and low maintenance. Also it comes with the highest wind warranty of all roofing material. And do to it’s non porous surface, it is resistant to moss growth.” says Ed Combs, owner of Shoreline Roofing in Victoria.
Weight
Metal roofs are lightweight and are easily installed on any sloped roof with out reinforcement. There are many available metal roof colours available.
Weather Resistant
Metal roofs are resistant to all types of weather.
They are naturally resistant to fire so this adds an extra benefit to protect a home.
Snow and rain slides easily off the slippery surfaces of a metal roof, so there is no buildup.
This is advantageous in places where there is plenty of snow, like Mount Washington.
In some cases a guard has to be put in place to prevent a huge dump of snow falling on the ground or unsuspecting people below.

Cons

Cost
The biggest determining factor in having a metal roof installed is the cost. A metal roof can cost as much as double of a traditions fibreglass roof. While it’s a big investment, homeowners can feel secure knowing the value will pay off with little to no maintenance or upgrades required.

Possible Noise
Heavy rains or high winds will not make metal roofs more noisy, as proper insulation will take care of that concern.
The classy modern look of a metal roof combined with its longevity is making a metal roof a popular choice for today’s homeowners.
