With increased greenhouse gas emissions, electricity costs, and climate threats, homeowners in Chapel Hill, NC, are turning to innovative, energy efficient solutions like metal roofs.

In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to know about our energy efficient metal roofs.

How Metal Roofs Offer Energy Efficient Savings

Reflective Properties of Metal

The residents in Chapel Hill, NC, experience warm summers where temperatures can reach 89°F, leading to increased electricity consumption. However, the reflective properties of metal roofs can keep homes cool, reducing the reliance on HVAC systems. Metal roofs are designed to bounce back a significant portion of the sun’s rays, preventing excessive heat absorption. This inherent reflectivity helps reduce cooling costs, making metal roofs an environmentally conscious choice for Chapel Hill residents.

Ability to Withstand Impact

Chapel Hill experiences a diverse range of weather patterns, including hot and humid summers and cold and wet winters. Fortunately, metal roofs are designed to withstand these harsh conditions, offering dependable protection against heavy rainfall, strong winds, storms, hail, snow, and even tornadoes. The resilience of metal roofing guarantees a lengthy lifespan (40-70 years), decreasing the necessity for frequent maintenance and replacements.

This not only benefits homeowners but also contributes to a more sustainable future by reducing the strain on the manufacturing industry and promoting energy efficiency.

Recyclability

Sustainability is a key consideration for Chapel Hill residents, and metal roofs align with eco-friendly practices. Our metal roofing materials are highly recyclable, contributing to a reduction in landfill waste. Choosing metal roofs demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management.

Energy Star Certification

Our metal roofing products meet Energy Star requirements, signifying their energy efficient performance. Energy Star-certified metal roofs help homeowners lower their carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption, benefiting both the environment and their wallets.
