Part of the appeal of metal roofing is its energy efficient properties. Here's an interesting article that delves into this very topic, and specifically, how energy efficient metal roofs can lower your summertime utility bills - and who doesn't like that?

Here's an excerpt from the article:

"Painted aluminum roofing is particularly energy efficient because of the heat-blocking low-emissivity natural aluminum underside surface."

Aluminum roofing has other benefits too.

• It's extremely lightweight, which means easier (and cheaper) installation
   
• It's non-combustible
   
• It's ideal for coastal or tropical locations, thanks to its superior durability and corrosion-resistant finishing options
   
• It's made of recycled materials
   
• It's got a fantastic wind blow-off warranty
