HOW DOES THE METAL ROOF LISTEN TO HOME?
If you've ever been in a car sitting in the sun on a hot day and then tried to fasten your seat belt, you know how the metal reacts to heat: it gets very hot. How do metal roofs help keep homes cooler? It seems very unintuitive, but that's precisely what doesn't work.
Metal roof is reflective
Although metal can heat up in sunlight, it is also highly reflective. This means that light and heat are not absorbed by the sun, but reflected. The metal on your roof may feel hot, but the house below is actually cooler because less heat gets into your home.
Energy-efficient metal roof
Because metal roofs can reflect a lot of the sun's heat away from your home, there isn't much heat in your home. This means that your air conditioner doesn't have to work hard to keep the house temperature cool.
Metal roofs can save you money
The louder your air conditioner works the more energy it will require. This power costs money. The more difficult your air conditioning device is to operate, the more likely it is to wear or break, and it costs money to replace or repair it.
Which roof color is best for heating?
The lighter the color of the roof, the better it will reflect rather than absorb heat. Is the metal roofing material made of a material that is smaller than its color? If you choose a metal roof, you can choose your color and material. So make sure to choose a light color.
