A Brief Guide to Metal and Asphalt Shingle Roofing

One of the most important factors to consider in a roof replacement is material. After all, your choice can greatly affect the longevity and performance of your new system. But which roofing material exactly works best for your Oklahoma home? The safest and most reliable options are metal and asphalt shingles, and Patriot Roofing LLC, the area’s trusted roof and  gutter installation  company, offers a quick comparison between the two.

Durability and Lifespan

Metal and asphalt shingles are built differently, but both are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions, from downpours and hailstorms, to high wind speeds and extreme sunlight. Their exceptional performance will help keep your home dry and damage-free all year round. In fact, metal and asphalt shingle roofing systems can last more than 20 years when installed and maintained properly by a trusted local roofer.

Aesthetics

These  roofing  options are highly versatile, being available in a wide selection of colors, textures, and profiles that make them easy to match with your home’s architectural style and exterior palette. Metal roof, however, looks best with Modern and Contemporary homes because of its sleek design and clean lines. Asphalt shingles, meanwhile, are perfect in more traditional residential architecture, such as Colonial, Queen Anne, Craftsman, and Farmhouse. 

Energy Efficiency

Both metal and asphalt shingle roofs can keep your home naturally cool and comfortable in summer. Metal roofing, for example, comes with inherent reflective properties that help prevent solar heat from transferring into your home. This energy-saving feature is augmented when you choose a lighter metal roof color. There are also asphalt shingles with advanced cooling technology which reduces attic heat buildup and keeps the cooling loads in your air conditioner to a minimum.
