You open the door for some fresh air, and you’re greeted by a blast of coldness. When did winter get here? It was sunny outside only a week ago. Oh well, you think. Guess it’s time for hot chocolate and winter boots. You look up at your roof and smile. I’m glad we went with the metal roof. The house will be so much warmer this winter. You close the door and whistle as you make your way to your room so you can change into your favorite comfy sweater.
If you’ve ever wondered why someone would smile at having a roof made of metal in the winter time, today you’ll get your answer: Metal roofs are more weather resistant than shingles in the winter.
Metal vs. Shingles
Metal roofs are resistant to damage caused by temperature fluctuations. This means that, while the weather plays whack-a-mole with the temperature, you don’t have to worry about whether your home will be safe from snow, water, rot, etc. Why? Because metal roofs are great at shedding snow and preventing the excessive accumulation that would strain the roof’s structure if you had shingles. This means ice dams are less likely to form, and damage is less likely to occur.
There’s Plenty of Extra Benefits!
If you’re unlucky enough to be caught in a snow storm, it will be easy to shovel away the snow on top of your home with a metal roof. There’s also the benefit that metal roofs are not noisy. Since metal is quieter than shingled roofs, and are amazing at dampening noise pollution. Your home will be quiet—even when your neighbor decides to throw a block party in the middle of winter.
But, the most important thing of note is how warm your home will be with a metal roof. Because metal has low thermal conductivity, it’s great for retaining heat. So, when your neighbors are busy turning up the thermostat, you’ll be able to rest easy. It feels good knowing that you’ll be comfy and secure at the standard temperature you keep your home at during winter. This has the added benefit of saving on monthly energy costs. Preventing the buildup of heavy snow usually causes you to be cold in your home.
Other benefits of a metal roof in winter include a high protection against leaking; an excellent lifespan; their cost over time is cheaper; and they’re durable.
