Metal Roofs: 4 Myths To forget
A homes exterior works as one connected system. Here are four practical points Missouri and Greater St. Louis homeowners should know.
• They are Always Loud: Over solid decking with appropriate underlayment and insulation, interior sound can be far less dramatic than expected.
• They Attract Lightning: Metal does not attract lightning. Its noncombustible properties can be an advantage when properly installed.
• They All Rust: Modern coatings and correct material selection help protect panels; cut edges and fasteners still require proper detailing.
• One Style Fits Every Home: Panel profile, slope, ventilation, flashing and architecture all affect whether a system is a good fit.
