Pros and Cons of Metal Roofing Tiles

One growing trend in residential roofing is the use of metal roofing tiles. Metal roofing tiles now have quite a variety of styles and colours. They are an excellent option for home but it is always good to consider the pros and cons before making a decision on what roofing material you should use.

Pros

• Longevity- metal roofing tiles have a long lifespan and can hold up very well against the elements
• Lightweight- being light means it is much easier to transport and install
• Eco-Friendly- metal roofing tiles can be made from recycled materials and can also be recycled whenever they eventually need replacing

Cons

• Price- metal roofing tiles are not the cheapest option out there, compare to asphalt shingles, however you will still save money with the ease of installation, transport and longevity
• Denting- in past or with lower quality metal tiles, denting could be an issue but modern, good quality tiles greatly reduce this risk

Metal roofing tiles are one of the best options out there for many reasons and very few drawbacks. They are definitely worth serious consideration.
