The benefits of ENERGY STAR qualified roof products
ENERGY STAR qualified roof products reflect more of the sun's rays. This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 100°F, decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building.

ENERGY STAR qualified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15 percent.

Saves Money and Energy. According to EPA, about $40 billion is spent annually in the US to air condition buildings - one-sixth of all electricity generated in a year! ENERGY STAR qualified roof products reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce energy bills by up to 50 percent.

Downsizes Cooling Equipment. A reflective roof can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15%. As a result, the home or building owner may be able to purchase a smaller, more efficient, and less expensive cooling system.


Will installing an ENERGY STAR qualified roof product save me money no matter where I live?
Homes and buildings located in hot and sunny climates will realize the greatest energy and cost savings. So, people living in southern geographic areas that use more air conditioning will see greater reductions in their energy bills than people living elsewhere in the country.

Low Life-Cycle Costs and Durable
Metal roofing has been proven to be more durable than most other roofing systems available. As a result, metal roofing has low life-cycle costs making it the choice of many school, government, commercial, industrial and institutional building owners.


Weather
Metal roofing performs well in all types of weather conditions. While hail, sun exposure, and wind can be very damaging to asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofing far outperforms shingle roofing in all weather conditions. Metal roofing does not deteriorate while exposed to the sun like shingles will. High winds can tear shingles off of your roof, and a hail storm spells replacement for most shingle roofs. Metal roofing, when installed to the manufacturers specifications, can handle wind speeds of up to 150 MPH.

Metal roofing is sustainable. It contains significant recycled content. It lasts much longer than most non-metal roofing products. It is 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life.
