Metal Roofing - durable, long-lasting, energy-efficient
A roof over one’s head is the biggest blessing to have. Man’s eternal struggle is to maintain that roof that will keep him safe from the elements, giving him shelter and security. Food and clothing are the next essential requirements, followed by using livelihood to sustain all these. The roof signifies well-being, whether the clothing is old or the meal is frugal. Choosing the right kind of roof assures protection from the forces of nature, and Blue Ribbon Roofing offers a wide range of roofing services in the Fayetteville, NC, area.
One of the sturdiest and longest-lasting materials for building a roof is metal. Metal endures the elements of nature like rain, hail, snow, and wind very well and is a better investment than other materials. Metal is also non-combustible, so in case of a fire, the roof will not burn down. It can withstand high degrees of heat and also cools down faster. This makes it energy-efficient. While the initial cost of a metal roof may be higher compared to other materials, in the long run, a metal roof works out more economically. This is because metal has a long life, and a metal roof can last for 60 to 70 years without any major issues as compared to other materials which need frequent repair and replacement in 15 to 20 years. Metal roofers like Blue Ribbon Roofing provide a wide variety of options for building a strong and durable roof in Fayetteville, NC.
Lightning strikes a metal roof - busting the myth
However, most people do not prefer to have a metal roof for their homes because of the myth that a metal roof will attract lightning. In reality, lightning will not be attracted to a metal roof any more than other materials because metals are good conductors of heat and electricity and will conduct the electricity into the earth and in fact will protect the house from the heat and the current passing through when lightning strikes. Lightning is negative ions trying to connect with the positivity of the earth. If there is a good conductor in the way, the current will pass through and not cause harm. A bad conductor will block the current or repel it, and the charge can then cause fire and grave harm. A non-metal roof, in effect, is more of a fire hazard and can be the reason for emergency roof repairs, especially in an electric storm. People are now becoming aware of the safety, durability, and versatility of metal roofs as against other materials, and more and more people have started opting for metal roofs. Metal sheets can be painted in various colors as required. Metal is also environment-friendly as it can be reused even if the roof is replaced or the house is pulled down. A metal roof increases the value of the home.
