Why Metal Roofing Products Are Better Than Traditional Roofing Types?
Metal roofing products are absolutely better than traditional asphalt roof tiles in almost every aspect. Firstly, it’s no doubt that metal naturally comes with durability and versatility that are unparalleled, and you don’t need to worry about going to be corroded, cracked, deformed. So roofing made from metal generally provides a lifespan of up to ore more than 50 years. And metal roofing requires fewer chances to repair and maintain.
The sustainability of metal roofing also far exceeds traditional types. It’s an energy-efficient option to reduce the power consumption for air conditioners, and eventually, help save cost on the electric bills. As the most of sunlight is reflected from metal roofing sheets to the atmosphere, it prevents the heat from being transferred to interior space.
House owners or contractors love using metal roofing products as the extensive range of colors and finishes are available for options, that only that, it can largely increase function and aesthetic for the buildings. And for fabricators, metal has excellent ductility for better workability. Furthermore, when it’s time for replacing your old metal roofing, the scrap metal pieces can be sold for money, as metal is 100% recyclable.

Why Metal Roofing Products Are Durable?
Metal roof products are generally durable and far more than any other material. At TBK Metal, there are several metal types such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and copper, which are much more solid than traditional types. In fact, steel is the most durable metal, but it’s easily corroded and does not last for long more than ten years, particularly in the severe climatic condition with much humidity and salt in the air, stainless steel is much better to avoid this problem. And aluminium alloy mixed with 45% zinc is an ideal option to meet the requirements of a combination of durability and long-lasting use.
In addition to metal types, another factor we need to consider is the structural design of the roofing system. Metal roofing products with excellent structure are much better than other common types to withstand some harmful factors caused by the natural environment. We’re constantly developing and optimizing our metal roofing system, which meets the very strict standards and requirements for protecting the houses from stormy weather and other severe conditions.
