At Alpine Sheet Metal Systems, we have noticed that there are several common questions that people ask about aluminum roofing. Some of the most common questions that people have include:
Does aluminum metal roofing provide more long-term value when compared to shingles?
Every roof is different, but it is entirely possible that a metal roof could provide more long-term value when compared to a shingle roof. Even though a lot of people are familiar with shingles, aluminum metal roofs have a lot of benefits. For example, aluminum can stand up to routine wear and tear, provide you with more protection against adverse weather, and might last longer than shingles as long as you take care of the roof. For all of these reasons, it is possible for an aluminum metal roof to provide you with more long-term value when compared to shingles.
Will my aluminum metal roof be noisy when it rains outside?
There are a lot of people who are concerned that an aluminum metal roof might be noisy when it starts to rain outside. Even though many people are familiar with the stereotypical clatter that rain makes when it hits a metal roof, much of this noise comes from a lack of underlayment. If you work with our team, we will install other materials underneath the metal roof to provide you with more sound protection against a thunderstorm. Therefore, you do not need to worry about your aluminum metal roof getting noisy when it rains outside.
Do I need to worry about having an aluminum roof and watching my energy costs go up?
Even though it is true that metal can get hot when it is left in the sun, aluminum metal roofs actually reflect a lot of the sun’s energy. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about your metal roof getting as hot as you think.

No, your house is not more likely to be struck by lightning.

It is incredibly unusual for an aluminum metal roof to be struck by lightning. Your chances of getting hit by a lightning strike do not go up with an aluminum roof.
What happens to my aluminum roof when it starts to hail outside?
When it starts the hail outside, your aluminum metal roof will provide you with an exceptional degree of protection. It can stand up to strong winter storms, but the degree of damage will depend on the quality of the craftsmanship, the size of the hail, and the quality of the materials used. If you want your aluminum metal roof to stand up to this type of stress, work with our team.
