Stylish, durable, and modern, aluminum roofing is a popular choice. But is aluminum roofing right for your home or commercial property?
Available Options
While aluminum roofing is a great choice, there are also steel and copper roofing options to consider if you want that sleek, metallic look.
- Steel is a heavier metal than both copper and aluminum, making it more durable and resistant to dents and scratches. It’s also equal to aluminum roofing in popularity, but unlike copper and aluminum, steel roofing must be coated to prevent rust from damaging your roof.
- Copper roofing is light and flexible, so like aluminum roofing, it won’t put as much of a weight strain on your structure as a steel roof. But the flexibility of a softer metal also means it can be dented and bent out of shape more easily. And while its unique color gives it a classic look, it is also the most expensive metal roofing option.
- Aluminum is the lightest roofing option, making it very easy to work with and install. It is also corrosion-resistant, giving it an advantage over steel. However, aluminum roofing is more expensive than steel and choosing a thin gauge can lead to dented roofing panels if your roof is struck by falling branches or frequent hailstorms.
