How does a metal roof help the environment?
There is a tremendous amount of asphalt shingles dumped into landfills every day. Since metal roofs last much longer, this waste is eliminated. And, if you are replacing your current roof, your new metal roof can be installed over the asphalt shingles. Metal roofs typically have a minimum recycled content of 25%. However, the biggest impact on the environment from metal roofing is lower energy costs. Metal roofing can save a homeowner up to 40% in energy cost.
