Steel Roof London

When homeowners hear the word “steel” they might think of steel framed skyscrapers, steel bridges, steel belted radials or even the man of steel. What they don’t often think of are steel roofs. But they should. Because if you need to have the roof on your home redone and you’re not considering a steel roof you’re likely going to miss an opportunity to make your home safer, more energy efficient, easier to maintain and more valuable. That’s a big statement but there are more than enough facts to support it.

Why a Steel Roof in London is the Smart Move

The steel roof on London homes has become an increasingly familiar sight and for a boatload of good, solid, common sense reasons. Here are just a few: 

1. Energy Efficiency - If asphalt shingles have one abiding characteristic it’s this: they absorb heat like a sponge. Because of this they cause the interior of your home to heat up which causes your air conditioner to work harder which causes you to use more energy to keep your home cool and, well, you get the picture. A steel roof will reflect radiant heat from the sun and keep your home cooler thereby relieving stress on the air conditioning system and lowering your energy bills.
   
   
2. Toughness - Asphalt shingles start breaking down after just a couple of years. By the time you replace them (and you will have to replace them) they’re little more that dried out fragments of what they used to be. Your steel roof by contrast will remain intact for decades, never breaking down, never losing its strength and ability to stand up to the elements.
   
   
3. Good Looks - This one surprises some homeowners but it shouldn’t. The steel roof in London is able to perfectly mimic the look of any number of other materials. As such it will never call attention to itself for any reason other than what a great addition it is to your home exterior.
   
   
4. Environmentally Responsible - Asphalt is a petroleum product so every time you attach another asphalt shingle to your roof you’re promoting the use of fossil fuels. You’re also guaranteeing that at some point in the future your shingles will wind up leaching poisons into the ground as they rot in a landfill somewhere. A metal roof is completely recyclable.
   
   
5. Increased Home Value - Replacing your current asphalt shingles with a beautiful, rugged, environmentally responsible steel roof will add significant bottom line value to your home. Much more so than any other type of roofing material. Homebuyers like to see elements of a house that are not going to need constant repair and replacement and they’ll pay more for a house that seems like it’s built to last.
