The Difference Between a SolarShield Metal Roofing System and a Conventional Roof

• The most common and cheapest form of roofing is asphalt shingle.
• Asphalt should be considered a temporary solution to your roofing problem. It does not protect your most valuable asset, your home.
• The average lifetime of an asphalt shingle roof in Florida is 8 to 10 years. In other parts of the country the average lifetime of an asphalt roof is 12 years.
• Asphalt is made from an oil impregnated paper or fiberglass. Asphalt begins to deteriorate as soon as you expose it to normal weather. The asphalt granules quickly breakdown ending up in homeowners gutters.
• A metal roof will never decompose and can last a lifetime. A metal roof reflects up to 97% of the sun's radiant heat.
• Likewise an asphalt roof actually absorbs 90% on the sun's radiant heat.
• In a study conducted by the Solar Energy Center, it was determined that in the summer metal roofing reduced attic heat gain by as much as 34%. In addition, metal roofing reduced air conditioning costs by 34% as well.
• In a recent Hud Study it was reported that 76% of your heating and 46% air conditioning actually is going through the roof of your home. Furthermore, the average increase in energy costs to the homeowner increases by 6% per year. Finding ways to reduce energy costs and protect your home are essential to the homeowner in the future.
