What many homeowners don’t know is that the roof over their head can make a big difference to the environment.
When choosing a new roof, homeowners should consider the following: the raw materials used to make the roof, how long the new roof will last and can the roof be recycled. A metal roof meets all of these qualifications.

Why is a metal roof one of the most environment-friendly products a homeowner can put on their home?
- Recyclable: Most metal roofs are made from up to 25% recycled material and recycled metal roofs don’t clog up landfills like other roofing materials
- Energy Efficiency: Metal roofs can lower utility costs
- Investment: Metal roofs are extremely durable, with many manufacturers offering 50 year warranties
Eco-friendly metal roofs are available in a wide range of colors and styles. Photovoltaic systems and solar panels can easily be integrated in metal roof systems, making them an even better choice. Metal roofs also allow homeowners to harvest rainwater for reuse.
