1. Will my house be colder during Winter?
A properly installed metal roof acts as an insulator and allows cool and warm air to circulate without escaping. A Metal Roof can actually help you lower your heating costs throughout winter and air conditioning during summer.
2. Will snow pile up on my roof?
Metal roofs are the most popular choice in areas where it snows. Snow and ice slide right off metal roofs. Thanks to this you won’t have to worry about water getting under the shingles, icicles or ice building up down your gutter.
3. Are snow avalanches a real concern on metal roofs?
Sliding chunks of snow is a common occurrence in any type of roof but, it shouldn’t be something to worry about. The simple solution to the risks involved with sliding snow is having snow guards or heating cables installed on your roof.
Do you live in an area where snow storms are common? How do you reduce risks posed by sliding snow?
Great solutions like heating cables will help you break down large amounts of snow and ice so that when it slides off, it will come in smaller pieces rather than big chunks.
4. Should you only do roof work during summer?
This might be the case when installing shingles because they can shatter when it’s cold. Metal roofs can be installed in any season. The truth is, metal roof installations during winter are not uncommon.
There are a lot of reasons why metal roofs are your best option, trust your project to the experts.
