Metal Roof vs. Slate Roof: Which is Right for You?

Metal Roof vs. Slate Roof: Which is Right for You?

Exploring Durability and Longevity of Metal and Slate Roofs

When it comes to durability, both metal and slate roofs stand out as robust choices. Metal roofs are known for their resistance to harsh weather conditions, including high winds, hail, and heavy snowfall. They are also highly resistant to fire, making them a safe choice for many homeowners. On average, a metal roof can last between 40 to 70 years, depending on the specific material used and the quality of installation.

Slate roofs, on the other hand, are often heralded as the gold standard in roofing materials due to their incredible longevity. A well-maintained slate roof can last over a century, with some historical buildings bearing original slate roofs that are still intact. Slate is also highly resistant to fire and weather damage, making it a reliable option. However, natural stone material can be more susceptible to cracking under certain conditions, such as heavy impact.

To enhance your roofs durability and longevity, we suggest fastening your roofing with BECK’s SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® System or the FASCO® (a BECK brand) Slate Hook System.

Top Metal Roofing Materials for Summer Storms

Benefits of Metal Roofing

With summer storms fast approaching, you’ll want to be sure your roof can withstand the demands of unpredictable summer weather. Metal roofing offers several benefits that make it an excellent choice for protecting your home during summer storms. One of the main advantages of metal roofing is its durability. Metal roofs are highly resistant to strong winds, heavy rain, and hail, making them a reliable option in storm-prone areas. Using BECK’s SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® System for metal roofing and siding, you can be sure that your roof is securely attached!

Another benefit of metal roofing is its fire resistance. Unlike traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, metal roofs are non-combustible and can help prevent the spread of fire. This can be especially important during summer storms when lightning strikes are more common.

Metal roofing is also known for its longevity. Metal roofs can last for 50+ years with proper maintenance, which means you won't have to worry about frequent roof replacements after summer storms. This can save you both time and money in the long run.

Another great reason to opt for metal roofing is that it’s eco-friendly. Most metal roofs are made from recycled materials, and they can be recycled again at the end of their lifespan. This helps reduce the environmental impact of roofing materials and promotes sustainability.

The Ultimate Guide to Replacing a Subfloor

When it comes to protecting your home from extreme weather conditions, having a durable metal roof is crucial. Metal roofs are known for their longevity and ability to withstand even the harshest elements. Unlike other roofing materials, metal roofs are resistant to rot, mildew, and insect damage.

In addition to their durability, metal roofs are also energy efficient. They can reflect solar heat, reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering your energy bills. Metal roofs are also recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly choice for homeowners.

Overall, investing in a durable metal roof is a wise decision that can provide long-lasting protection for your home and save you money in the long run. It’s also important to invest in installation and maintenance tools and fasteners, such as the BECK SCRAIL® RoofLoc® System, to ensure it is installed properly.
