| While asphalt traps heat… | Metal Roofs reflect solar energy… | And pigments re-emit heat. |
The secret to metal roofing’s energy savings is in its variety of finishes. As shown above, the basic, unpainted metal roof will reflect much of the solar radiation usually absorbed in your attic and home by an asphalt roof. Where annual cooling loads dominate, a highly reflective and highly emissive metal roof is optimal for reducing energy consumption and can actually re-emit up to 90% of absorbed solar radiation.
Most metal roofing, including standing seam, is composed of recycled material that can be installed directly onto an existing asphalt roof, reducing landfill waste as well as adding decades of environmentally-sound, maintenance-free strength and beauty.
