These days, an increasing number of small business owners recognize the value and cost-effectiveness of metal roofing for commercial buildings. These aren’t the rusty tin roofs of yesteryear, but streamlined and professional-looking surfaces that are more than worth the investment. That’s why South Central Roofing & Sheet Metal in Lebanon, KY, offers metal among their selection of roofing materials and is happy to explain its advantages.

Here are just some of the benefits you can expect from metal roofing for your commercial building:

• Longevity: While the average asphalt roof rarely lasts more than 20 years, a well-maintained metal roof will last for 50 years or more. This is partly because modern metal roofs are protected with a specialized coating that prevents them from rusting. Even hail won’t damage your metal roof!
• Fire Resistance: In the event of a fire, you don’t have to worry about anything but your employees. Your fire-resistant, non-combustible metal roof won’t be exacerbating the problem.
• High Energy Efficiency: Because of their reflective surfaces, metal roofs will save you money on cooling costs every summer by reflecting heat, rather than absorbing it like other materials.
• Attractive Styles: With the broad range of styles available today—from traditional to modern—no one will ever suspect your roof is made of metal. If they do, they’ll merely be impressed by its streamlined look.
• Silence: One of the first things people wonder about metal roofs is whether they produce loud sounds when it rains. To assuage your concerns, commercial roofing contractors insist metal roofing is just as silent as any other material—or even quieter when installed with solid sheathing.
