How noisy is a metal roof?
Metal roofs are not any noisier than your typical asphalt shingle roofs. If a metal roof is installed on a residential home, the metal will be installed over a plywood substrate just like shingles. Because of the plywood underneath, the noise factor would be comparable to shingles.

Is lightning attracted to a metal roof?
Just because it is metal, which is non-combustible, does not make it more susceptible to lightning.

How long will a metal roof last?
Metal roofs have a life cycle of 40 years or more compared to typical asphalt shingles that have a life cycle of 20 years or less.

How does a metal roof withstand weather & other conditions?
Metal roofs have unmatched durability. They are impervious to termites, pests, & resist fire (non-combustible). Metal roofs can endure harsh environments, will not deteriorate under UV rays, and are resilient to severe weather.
What are the benefits of having a metal roof?
Besides the aesthetically attractive look of a metal roof, metal roofs are environmentally friendly being 100% recyclable at the end of their life cycle and are made with a minimum of 25% recycled materials. ACM Metal Roof’s have a finished coating that meets the EPA Energy Star Cool Roof compliance standards. These roofs can increase energy efficiency, lower utility costs, and may qualify for a tax credit.

How do I put on a metal roof on a shingled roof?
ACM recommends applying a metal roof to a dry, level deck. In most areas, a metal roof may be installed over one (1) layer of asphalt shingles. Refer to your local building codes for information on what is approved in your area.
