No — metal actually reflects sunlight, keeping your attic cooler compared to dark asphalt shingles.
Not modern ones. With galvalume or galvanized steel and PVDF (Kynar 500) coatings, rust and fade are minimal for decades.
Yes, but it depends on the panel style and pitch. Standing seam roofs are generally safe to walk on carefully.
No — it doesn’t increase lightning strikes. If lightning does strike, metal safely dissipates the energy.
Yes, reflective coatings can reduce cooling costs by 10–25% in hot climates.
In many cases, yes, as long as local code allows and the roof structure is sound.
Class 4–rated panels are impact resistant and rarely dent from normal hail. Some softer metals like aluminum may dent more easily.
No — when installed over proper decking and underlayment, it’s about the same noise level as asphalt shingles.
Yes, typically 2–3 times more upfront, but it lasts much longer and saves on maintenance and energy costs.
Most metal roofs last 40–70 years, depending on the material and installation.
