With more and more businesses and homeowners aiming to use more sustainable building materials, it’s hard to know which is best. When it comes to roofing, metal tiles are an eco-friendly resource that can help reduce your carbon footprint, in more ways than one.

Energy efficiency

Metal roof tiles reflect solar energy rather than absorb it, as traditional roofing materials do. This helps to keep the building cool, making them much more energy efficient. It’s estimated you can save up to 40% on cooling costs in the summer months with metal tiles.

Recycled metal

The metal used for roof tiles is recycled from other industries, reducing the waste that fills landfill sites. Because of this, metal roofing is 100% recyclable in itself meaning it’s a reusable product.

Long life span

Metal is a much stronger material than asphalt shingles or any other traditional roofing, so it lasts much longer. It requires virtually no maintenance once it’s installed as each tile is pressed and can be shaped without breaking. By reducing the need to replace or repair the metal, we generate less waste. Metrotile’s metal roofing even has a 40 year weatherproof guarantee because of its unrivalled strength and durability.

Lighter to transport

Roof tiles made from metal are up to seven times lighter than typical roof tiles. This places less stress on the supporting building structure but also makes transporting them to the building much cheaper. Less fuel is needed, which means less carbon dioxide is emitted.

Metal tile roofing is a highly eco-friendly roof material, with its sustainable features and energy efficiency. If you’d like to make your home or business greener, Metrotile offer the very best in lightweight metal roof tiles that are tested to withstand extreme weather conditions.
