There is one home purchase that can do more for the environment and a household budget than any other single investment - install an energy-efficient, sustainable metal roof. Here are five reasons why:
- Cool metal roofs reduce energy costs from day one (up to 25% lower utility bills).
- Tax credits are available to U.S. homeowners who choose an Energy Star® labeled metal roof before 12/31/10. (details: http://www.metalroofing.com/v2/content/guide/costs/energy-tax-incentive.cfm)
- Unlike asphalt shingles, which are petroleum-based, metal roofs are 100% recyclable, and provide lasting protection that increases the value of your home.
- Metal roofs are made with recycled materials, and provide a market for recycled steel -your old car or dishwasher can be turned into a new roof.
- Metal is an investment grade roofing product. In fact, many homeowners who install a metal roof will never have to buy another roof - not so with other materials.
