METAL ROOFS = LOWER ENERGY BILLS

A metal roof will dramatically reduce the amount of heat entering the home. Not all metal roofs are created equal though. An aluminum roof is the most energy efficient of the metal roofs. Aluminum roofs have been tested scientifically and it's been determined they reduce the amount of heat entering the attic by 34%. Because of aluminum's superior reflectivity, and other physical properties, aluminum is able to reflect a high percentage of the sun's infrared energy, the portion of sun light that is most responsible for attic heat build-up in a home. This means that the air conditioner doesn't have to work as hard to cool the home. Saving energy = saving money.
