There are various misconceptions related to metal roofs, and few of them are the following:
Metal roofing is prone to rust: You will not have to worry about the durability of the metal roof. Due to advanced developments, metal roofing provides superior weather protection to the home. These advancements allow metal roofing to resist rust formation, rot, insects, impact damage, etc.
Metal roofing draws excessive heat in summer: The metal roofing effectively reflects solar heat as well as light to help in maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature for the home. When energy-saving coating applies to your metal roof, you can easily reduce heat and even further allow you to save considerably on cooling as well as heating costs.
Metal roofing attracts lightning: Although metal is capable of conducting electricity, it does not actually draw lightning to it. In case, lightning does strike, the metal roof will disperse the energy throughout the structure safely. It is its non-combustible property that also makes it a safer option as compared to other roofing materials in extreme weather, such as thunderstorms.
Metal roofing is difficult to maintain: As shingles get cracked, the metal roofing will not crack, curl, etc. It will not even slide out of alignments, which happens in case of slate or splinter such as wood shake.
