Many people are concerned about the heat and metal roofing systems, and we’re here to debunk the myths surrounding heat and metal roofs.
Metal Roofs Make Your Home Hotter
There are many factors that are at play when it comes to the temperature in your home. Metal roofs depending on the material that they are made with do absorb heat, but that heat is not transferred to the home. Other things that could play into the equation would be your insulation and ventilation in the attic/roof area.
Material Matters
Going along with the hotter home topic is how much heat your roof will absorb. As mentioned above, depending on the material your roof may absorb more or less heat. A copper roof for instance will absorb a lot of heat, while a stainless steel roof does not absorb much heat at all.
