Why Metal Roofing?

Why Metal Roofing Is Becoming More Popular

Metal roofing has grown in popularity over the past 10 years. Gone are the days when homeowners installed tin metal roofs. Today metal roofs are custom designed by firms like Erie Metal Roofing. Types of metal roofs range from galvanized steel, copper, aluminum and zinc. It may be the durability and versatility of metal roofs like those built by Erie that is behind the growing appreciation for metal roofs.

Erie Metal Roofs Earns Its Mark

More than 100,000 metal roofs have been installed by Erie Metal Roofs. American made Erie Metal Roofs are backed by a lifetime limited warranty. The AA aluminum-zinc materials that the metal roofs are made with hold up against Harrisburg’s icy winters, strong spring and autumn wind gusts and merciless summer sun rays. In fact, our metal roofing is strong enough to absorb UL 2218 Class 4 exposure.

The metal roofing panels that we use are light weight yet strong like steel. Wind, rust and hail resistant, the roofing panels remain in place even when outdoor winds reach 120 mph. Best in class materials start with investment grade steel panels. Coatings on the panels are a combination of aluminum and zinc. Additional protection consists of a layer of acrylic resin. It’s this extra protection that allows our Harrisburg metal roofs to maintain their color and beauty for decades.

Safety and Green Environment Pros

Our metal roofing materials reflect solar heat. This single benefit could reduce your utility bills, saving you money. Should a harsh Harrisburg summer or autumn storm rise, if you have an Erie Metal Roof, you can rest assured that your roof won’t catch fire should lightning strike the roof.

Metal roofs also strengthen the environment because approximately 56% of the steel used to make the roofs comes from recycled material. But, that’s not all. Studies have found that metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, which is generally longer than most people own their home. Except for washing the roofing material with a hose, little maintenance is required with metal roofs. Homeowners aren’t the only people who have recognized the value of metal roofs. Insurance companies are aware of the roofs value. After you contact us to install a new metal roof, check with your insurance company to see if it gives discounts to homeowners in the Harrisburg area who install metal roofing.
