Getting a new roof for your family home is an important decision that can impact your house’s foundation, inside atmosphere, and various other related factors. Among them is energy efficiency, which is increasingly becoming a major priority for homeowners across Salisbury, NC.
With our exceptional metal roofing solutions, you can optimize your metal roof’s energy-saving potential with up to a 40% reduction on your energy bills. Here are four ways to explain how.
Opt for Reflective Coatings
One of the more common ways of enhancing your metal roof’s energy-saving potential is to paint your metal roofing in reflective coatings. These are often made with materials like acrylic or elastomeric and help reflect sunlight to reduce heat absorption.
We offer multiple color coatings for your metal roofing solutions that can increase your curb appeal as well as reflect sunlight. This can lead to lower cooling costs and increased energy efficiency.
Ensure Proper Insulation
Another way of optimizing your metal roof’s energy-saving potential is to make sure that your roof is adequately insulated. Our contractors will begin by insulating the area beneath the metal roof to minimize heat transfer between the roof and your living space.
Proper insulation helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduces the need for excessive heating or cooling, thereby saving energy.
Promote Adequate Ventilation
Maintaining healthy ventilation within your home helps regulate attic temperatures, prevent moisture buildup, and reduce the strain on your cooling system. With our metal roofing solutions, we ensure that your roof has proper ventilation through the installation of ridge vents, soffit vents, or gable vents.
This allows for the exchange of air, removing hot air and preventing the buildup of excess heat in the attic space. Ultimately adequate ventilation contributes to lower cooling costs and promotes energy efficiency.
Implement Energy-Efficient Roof Design
Finally, we also encourage you to consider implementing energy-efficient design features when installing or renovating your metal roof. Features like overhangs or shading devices can help minimize direct sun exposure and reduce heat gain.
Our metal roofs are almost always installed in a sloped fashion to make sure that no rainwater or hail gets stuck on the panels. This keeps your metal roof lasting longer and protects against harsh weather events.
