Cottage Metal Roofing

When discussing metal roofing, most people talk about farms, industrial buildings, and commercial developments, and maybe residential buildings if your area has adopted the improvement. What doesn’t usually come to mind are cottages. However, in cottage country, metal roofing is quite popular and can help protect your investment in a rough climate better than any other roofing material.

More than 70% of all North American homes – cottages included – use basic roofing materials, despite the fact that it isn’t energy-efficient, eco-friendly, or overly durable in the face of Canadian weather. It’s only true benefit is, it’s cheap. But using these cheap materials comes at a much higher cost in the long term. When you factor in roofing replacement costs over the course of 25-50 years, you end up paying a lot more for other roofs than you would for a metal roof.

Benefits of Metal Roofing For Cottages

• Metal is UV resistant, corrosion resistant, and fire-resistant, all of which can bring down insurance premiums.
• Cottage metal roofs weigh about half as less as asphalt roofing. This means less stress on structural components under your roof.
• Metal roof panels are smooth and clean which allows snow to roll off. They also do not absorb moisture, which helps to keep your cottage dry even in the wettest of conditions.
• Unlike asphalt, metal does not curl, crack, or erode in any way. Assuming a cottage metal roof has been properly installed, it can withstand the hottest summer temperatures and the stormiest of winters and still last a lifetime.
• Metal is energy-efficient, helping keep your home warm during winter and cool over the summer. This equates to lower costs on heating and cooling.
• Metal roofing is very eco-friendly with panels made from galvanized steel, or aluminum. These materials can be recycled again and again, compared to other roofing which is just waste.
• Due to the high quality build, design, and installation from London Eco Metal, the average cottage metal roof lasts for 50 years or longer with little to no maintenance or repairs.
