The Advantages of Metal Roofing from Drexel Metals

Here at Drexel Metals, we're excited to tell you about the benefits of our premier product: Metal Roofing. Metal Roofing systems provide superior protection from the harsh elements at lower energy costs. Metal roofing is the fastest growing material in the entire roofing industry, both in Residential and Commercial segments. And there's a reason why.

You may think a roof serves one purpose: To keep rain and the elements out of your home. But we look at a roof much differently. To us, a roof doesn't just keep out rainwater. A roof compliments the building, and the quality of the roof makes an impact in the overall value of the property. An excellent roof needs to be watertight, durable, strong, and affordable. Metal roofing covers all these areas with flying colors.

But not just that, a roof can save you energy! How? Well metal roofs in particular excel at this task. A traditional roof with pitch black shingles sucks up the sunlight and dissipates it directly into your house. But metallic flecks in a metal roof reflect sunlight off the building. So in the summer, you'll notice the whole building seems cooler and the air conditioner won't have to kick on as much.

In addition, a metal roof is the perfect installation for solar panels. That's right, the future is officially upon us and many new buildings are being built with solar panels on the roof. These aren't big ugly bulky things like you might think. They're stylish and minimalistic. And they have a direct impact on your energy bills because they feed power straight into your house. In the summertime, your electric meter will drop to absurdly low levels, or even turn backwards! This means you're actually leaving a negative carbon footprint and adding power into the grid. You can proudly proclaim your building to be green, and have the low electric bills and cost savings to back it up!

And here at Drexel Metals, we stay very competitive with our on-site manufacturing business model, where we craft your roof on the spot, meaning there's no packaging waste or transporting and re-transporting of materials. It's a win-win situation!

The Benefits of Metal Roofing Systems

A Metal Roof has several major advantages over any other type of roofing material. Primarily manufactured from recycled steel or aluminum, metal roofs reuse the waste that would otherwise be discarded in dumps. And by nature, metal is impenetrable by the elements, lasts a very long time, and reflects UV light rather then absorbing it into the building, greatly reducing energy costs.
