Metal roofing Q&A

What effect will a metal roof have on heating and air conditioning?
In the summer, it should lower your AC bills by reflecting heat more than most forms of roofing. In the winter, it won’t make any real difference if your roof is insulated properly.

Is a metal roof more likely to be hit by lightning?
Metal roofing conducts electricity, but isn’t attracted to it, so a metal roof is no more likely to be hit by lightning than any other roof. If it does get hit, the lightning will either be dispersed safely or conducted into the ground by way of the lightning rod. Either way, you don’t have to worry about it.

How much noise does a metal roof make during bad weather?
Many people worry that a metal roof might be noisy. Not everyone likes the sound of rain on an old tin roof, especially if they’re trying to watch the news. Fortunately, metal roofing set flush against a wooden deck makes very little noise — especially with proper installation, a layer of insulation and the right texture.
