WHAT MYTHS HAVE YOU HEARD
ABOUT METAL ROOFING?
Are metal roofs energy-efficient?
Fact: Metal is one of the most energy-efficient roofing materials on the market. A high-quality metal roof can save homeowners up to 40% in energy costs. And while an uncoated, industrial metal roof is energy-efficient, DECRA stone-coated metal roofs take energy efficiency to the next level.
Infrared-blocking color pigments in DECRA’s stone-coated granules block radiation and heat from the sun. In fact, a 2019 study by R&D Engineering compared the energy efficiency of DECRA metal roofs against conventional 3-tab asphalt shingle roofs, and found that DECRA metal roofs increased energy efficiency by up to 218%.

Do metal roofs attract lightning?
Fact: Research has proven that metal roofing is no more likely to attract lightning than other types of roofing material. In fact, as a non-combustible material, metal is one of the most ideal roofing solutions for homes in lightning-prone areas. Metal roofs provide an easier path to the ground, spreading the force of the lightning strike and preventing hot points, thanks to the highest Class A fire-resistance rating of non-combustible steel.

Are metal roofs noisy in the rain?
Fact: No, metal roofs are not noisy in the rain. The key to noise reduction is preventing sounds from hitting hard, flat surfaces. The thicker the coating and the more irregular the surface texture, the more effective a roof is at disrupting and dampening the reverberation of sound waves. DECRA stone-coated metal roofing products are peacefully quiet in the rain, due to their intricate textures and sound-absorbing cushion of roofing granules.
