Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Metal roofing is extremely energy efficient and reflects solar heat up and away from the roof, which can help reduce cooling costs by as much as 25%. In addition to being one of the most energy-efficient types of roofing, metal roofs have a long list of eco-friendly benefits that check all the boxes for sustainable, green construction.
- Reduce energy costs by up to 25%.
- Made from sustainable materials and 100% recyclable.
- Requires less structural support, which helps to conserve natural resources.
- Can often be installed over existing asphalt shingle roofs, eliminating the need for tear-offs and expensive disposal of construction waste.
Lifetime Limited Warranty
DECRA metal roofs are backed by one of the most comprehensive Lifetime Limited Warranties in the industry.
- Warrantied for winds up to 120 miles per hour.
- Warrantied for hailstone penetration up to 2.5” in diameter.
- Comes standard on DECRA Metal Roofing products.
- Transferable to a subsequent property owner within 20 years of the initial installation.
Ultra Lightweight
DECRA metal roofs add reinforcing shear strength to the underlying roof deck without piling on excess weight at the top of the building.
- Metal roofs weigh up to 1.6 lbs. per square foot.
- Wood shingles and shakes weigh up to 4.5 lbs. per square foot.
- Asphalt shingles weigh up to 4.3 lbs. per square foot.
- Clay tile weighs up to 6 -11 lbs. per square foot.
Noise Absorption
DECRA metal roofs don’t require any extra soundproofing materials and are peacefully quiet in the rain, thanks to the sound-absorbing cushion of stone granules.
- The thick coating and textured surface from the stone-coating manufacturing process absorbs the reverberation of sound waves from rain.
- Multiple layers of natural stone granules act as an additional noise barrier.
- The noise difference between a metal roof and a traditional shingle roof is undetectable to the human ear.
