Why are Steel Shingles a Better Choice?
Steel shingles may be placed over old roofing and reduce waste disposal costs. Steel transfers heat and reduces cooling costs, but also reflects much of the heat from the sun. With a Class A fire rating, high wind resistance up to 120mph and the capability to resist serious hail damage, steel can reduce insurance costs. Metal does not catch fire or support combustion, and shingles made of steel do not break, crack, curl, rot, or blister with exposure to the sun. Insect damage is non-existent. Steel is a logical choice.
