Building An Environmentally-Friendly Metal Roof

As more homeowners are becoming more aware of the environmental impace of their purchasing decisions, a growing number of homeowners are turning to metal roofing as a "green" alternative to traditional roofing materials.

“Homeowners have discovered that installing a metal roofing system is not only one of the most environmentally responsible choices they can make, it’s also one of the most cost-effective,” said Tony Chiovare, president of Custom-Bilt Metals, a long-time leader in the painted metal industry.

Metal roofing materials are virtually 100% recyclable, and because the metal roofing systems are being coated with infrared reflective “cool roof” finishes, they offer significant energy savings.

Studies conducted by the Cool Metal Roofing Coalition and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have shown that metal roofing with Energy Star certified high reflectance paint systems can save you up to 40% on cooling costs when compared to typical asphalt shingles. Our metal roofing system reflects up to 70% of the sun's radiant heat, reducing the amount of heat transmitted into your home.

It makes your home warmer in the winter by reflecting inside heat back into the home.

This means energy savings by reducing cooling costs in the summer and heating costs in the winter.
