By hot, we refer to the aesthetic qualities of metal roofs! They look sharp, and come in various profiles and colors that can fit a wide range of styles. Metal roofing is growing in popularity, not only because of its durability and distinctive look, but because it is actually the cooler option in terms of energy.
The coating on the metal roofing panels is designed to reflect the sun’s energy. So while other roofing surfaces, like asphalt shingles for example, absorb energy, metal roofs reflect it, keeping the structure underneath cooler and potentially saving hundreds of dollars in energy costs.
Top metal roofing manufacturers have earned the ENERGY STAR Label.
According to EnergyStar.gov: “Products that earn the ENERGY STAR are independently certified to save energy, save money and protect the climate.” As you can see, the metal roofing industry is committed to maintaining efficiency and sustainability. This is why the hottest roof is the coolest of them all.
