The majority of commercial and residential metal roofing is made of steel. Metal roofing materials are of considerably lighter weight when compared to their asphalt shingle counterparts. When considering\u00a0metal roofing\u00a0or asphalt shingles, be aware what exactly you are planning to invest in. It is wise to invest in the right roof for your chosen property.<\/p>\n
When it boils down to\u00a0steel roofing\u00a0or asphalt shingles, it pays to know the differences between the two before choosing. Be aware that both materials are both suitable for roofing material; it just depends on what your preferences are and what is best for your property.<\/p>\n
Here are some facts about metal roofing and asphalt shingles:<\/p>\n
Metal Roofing<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/u><\/p>\n Cons<\/u><\/p>\n Asphalt Shingles<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/u><\/p>\n Cons<\/u><\/p>\n The type of roofing you choose will largely depend on your personal preference, as well as the location of your home. If your property is close to the ocean or the sea, the best choice would be asphalt since it is more resistant to\u00a0saltwater corrosion.\u00a0If you\u2019re in a forested area that is prone to bushfires, then metal would be the better option as it is more fire resistant.<\/p>\n Regardless of what material type you choose for your roofing, both metal and asphalt are durable, although metal roofing does have a longer lifespan than their asphalt counterparts, and are also more environmentally sustainable, cost-effective in the long run and have better strength.<\/p>\n\n
