Flat metal roofs are a newer, popular option for commercial buildings. It isn't a traditional option for flat or low sloped roofs, but if you look, you can find them being installed on more buildings. So, is a flat metal roof right for you?
The Benefits of Metal Roofs
- Low Cost: More specifically, there’s a low “life cycle” cost. That means, most flat metal roofs can last anywhere from 20 to 40 years.
- Low Maintenance: Due to the durability of flat metal roofs, there are very few costs associated with maintenance. A slight slope means proper drainage of rain and snowmelt.
- Lightweight: Although it varies, metal roofs don’t weigh as much as you’d assume they would. The load does not contribute significantly to any unseen costs.
- Environmentally Friendly: Flat metal roofs are energy efficient. Unlike asphalt or modified bitumen, it reflects light and keeps the building from becoming overly heated. Business owners have seen significant savings in HVAC costs with flat metal roofs.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Flat metal roofs are far more pleasing to the eye than most membrane roofing systems. Metal roofs can be ordered in a variety of colors to match the design and architecture of the building.
