Qualities of a Metal Roof
When we're sharing the benefits of metal roofing, we always mention the traits shared by all types of metal roofs. Metal roofs are, across the board:
- Incombustible
- Highly resistant to winds
- Waterproof
- Lightweight
- Long lasting

When you're shopping for a new roof, these great characteristics are just a sales pitches to many. Until Mother Nature or a man-made disaster tests those claims.
The only house on the beach in Florida that survived the recent hurricane was built specifically with a metal roof to resist high winds. And that's what it did.
There are multiple instances in which a metal roof helped a home or building survive a fire, simply because every metal roof is non combustible

and will not support a flame.
While it's certainly true that there are a number of contributing factors that can conspire to increase or decrease the survivability of any structure, choosing a metal roof will always increase the odds.
