Considering a metal roof? Here are some important things to know:

Noise: Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are often quieter than asphalt shingle roofs. This is because the metal roof floats above the roofing deck, creating a space between the metal roof and the roofing deck. This extra space creates a sort of sound barrier. The underlay coating used by London Eco-Metal Manufacturing Inc. provides additional noise reduction properties.

Lifetime: A properly installed metal roof can last a lifetime. A superior technical finish provides long-lasting protection against peeling, blistering, cracking, tearing, and flaking. To extend the life of your metal roof, you have the option of restoring and recoating the finish after 40 or 50 years.
