Hot Tin Roof
Tin Roofs
When you hear about tin roofs, you may think of the 1958 classic film “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof”. Even the title seems ridiculous-who has a tin roof anymore? Well, studies show that the use of tin and other metals as roofing material is becoming more and more popular even in 21st century America! There are numerous benefits of having a metal roof on your residential home, and after reading this article you may just want to go to your Dallas or Fort Worth roofer and ask about getting a tin roof put on your own home.
One of the main reasons metal roofs are becoming popular is their low price, at least for a tin roof. While some types of metal roofing could cost as much as $650 per 100 square feet (including the material and installation), tin is far cheaper. Being one of the cheapest metals available, buying yourself a tin roof could cost as little as $70 per 100 square feet (including the material an installation). That’s cheaper than any other roofing material by over 30%!
A misconception about a tin roof (as well as other types of metal) will sound much louder during a rain storm than some other materials. This is not true, and will in fact be no louder than other materials. This is because the metal is installed on top of felt and plywood which muffle the sound greatly.
Another huge benefit of a metal roof is their resistance to the elements. Unlike asphalt shingles or wooden shakes, tin roofs are impervious to mold. They can’t be damaged by insects either. Water and salt do not corrode tin, and it won’t crack or break like slate or clay. If left strictly to elemental damaging, a metal roof can last 40 years or more which is nearly twice as much as most other roofing materials. And that kind of durability means less calls to a Dallas roof repairman. So while certain metal roofing may cost a little more for a Fort Worth or Dallas roofer to install, you’ll save in the long run thanks to the low maintenance.
You may also consider it a plus that you can easily change your roof from whatever kind of material you roof may currently be made of to tin. Most metal roofing weighs less than 1.6 pounds per square foot. This is so light that you can easily install it right over your current asphalt shingles without risk of weight damage.
Metal roofs are especially becoming popular in the southern states for their reflective and insulation properties. Metal roofs reflect about 70% of all direct sunlight. That causes the house to be a lot cooler during the hot summer months so you can have your air conditions running at a lower temperature. And it’s insulation keeps the cool air from your air conditioner in the house, as well as warmth from your furnace during the cold weather. Both these make for less energy use, and lower electric bills.
So with all these benefits, why not make the change to a tin roof? You’ll save on electric bills, maintenance costs, and you don’t even need to tear up your current roof to make the change!
