Metal Roof Myths Busted

June 13, 2011 by adamp Leave a Comment

It is very interesting to know how many people have some huge primitive misunderstandings and myths about metal roofs, even when technology has become so advanced. Metal roofs not only look trendy and urban, but they also efficiently serve their purpose by protecting the house.

Here are some debunked myths about metal roofs:

The first and foremost thought that comes to many people is the electric shocks due to lightning strikes. You may be tempted to think that a metal roof may be prone to lightning strikes. Anyone who knows the facts about electricity will know that a current passes through the path of shortest resistance. If your house is at a high point, lightning will strike regardless of what the roof is made of, and metal, being a conductor, it will spread the charge evenly, thus reducing the damage it would have cost. Being incombustible, it will not catch fire as easy as roofs made from other conventional materials. Most are properly insulated with substances like plywood etc.

Are you afraid of the noise that the metal roof will produce when it rains? This thought mostly arises just because you are imagining water falling over a thin sheet of metal. In fact, metal roofs are installed over ply sheets and properly waterproofed. Some users even say it is quieter than that of “normal” corrugated roofs.

Another thought that would have come across your mind is that the metal will get rusted like that of most metals, or dented like in cars, etc. You must understand that metal roofs are built to last for ages. They are not cheap metal sheets on top of your house. Most of the roof metals are coated with protective layers of zinc and aluminium, because iron rusts. They are then painted with excellent weather-guard paint that will withstand the wrath of many a bad weathers. Hail, snow, fast winds—it will withstand them all. All in all it provides better protection than any other conventional roofs.

Money may be the biggest thing bothering you. You may think that metal roofs are way too expensive but the truth is they are not impractical. You would initially have to shell out a fortune but it makes for a good investment in the long run. Metal roofs are low on maintenance and last longer provided you get good quality roofing from a qualified contractor.
