Metal Roofing

Metal Roofing

I've always been a "Roof" fanatic. To me the roof design and roofing material are as important to a house as hair is to humans.

Metal roofs have always held a soft spot in my heart but,here is something I never even thought of from "the newsteel.org" website. (http://www.thenewsteel.org/roofing/index.htm)

Environmental Benefits of Metal Roofing:

1. Environmentally friendly process of steel making and coating.

2. Steel is 100 percent recyclable so yesterday's scrapped car can become today's metal roof. And that could one day become a refrigerator.

3. A new steel roof can be placed over an existing roof. That conserves valuable landfill space by eliminating the need to dispose of the existing roof. (Roof tear-offs represent more than 5 percent of what is being dumped in landfills today.) And this saves labor time and costs for the homeowner.

Wow, you really do learn something everyday!
