Metal roof advantages cut cooling costs and fire risk
The Florida Solar Energy Center tested roofs showed cedar shake aluminum was about 30 degrees cooler in 90 degree heat than asphalt shingles, reducing central air cooling load by around 33 percent. Metal roofs offer long life, potential reroof cost savings, lighter weight options, and some materials resemble cedar shakes or slate. Copper and stainless steel cost more, while aluminum provides rust resistance and easy shaping.
