The Top 5 Myths about Metal 
Roofs and Their Real Truths 
While on one hand, metal roofing is considered to be 
the most popular roofing option for most home and 
office owners, on the other, this material is clouded by 
many doubts and myths. Yes, people believe in many 
myths about metal as a roofing material and these 
myths may keep them from choosing this excellent 
material. 
The following is a list of the top 5 myths that are often 
associated with metal roofing along with the real 
truth:
Metal Roof has high probability of getting struck by 
lightening 
This is a myth which keeps 
many from using metal as 
roofing material. In reality, 
metal roof is not anymore 
probable to lightening than 
any other material. Infact on 
the other hand, if ever 
lightning strikes a house, the 
metal material will help to 
dissipate the charge and avoids 
the roof from catching fire.
Metal roof makes high noise when it 
rains 
 This is another myth which is associated with roofing 
materials made of metal. A lot of people imagine loud 
banding noises on metal roofs during rains but in 
reality modern day roofing are installed in with a layer 
of plywood and solid sheathing which avoids any noise 
that might be caused due to rains. Infact, metal roof is 
quieter than a non- metal roof.
Metal roof is very expensive 
Another myth which roofs made of 
metal are linked with is the fact 
that this roof costs a high amount. 
It is true that this material may 
seem to be expensive to many 
people due to its many properties 
and uses but it is rather an 
inexpensive choice. Metal roofs 
costs less than asphalt shingle 
roofs and can even help you save a 
lot of energy costs, especially 
during the summer months. 
Moreover, due to the longevity of 
this material, the need to reinstall 
decreases, hence saving more 
costs. Hence this is another myth 
that is actually far from being true.
Metal roof is susceptible to rust 
 Many people believe that metal is a material which is 
susceptible to rust and same would be true for metal 
roofing but this is another myth. Modern day metal 
roofing is mixed with steel and has an additional 
coating of zinc or aluminum which prevents rust from 
settling down. Modern day roof is made in such a way 
that it can withstand bad weather, seasonal changes 
and is painted with high quality paint.
Metal roof is more likely to be dented 
 Metal roofs are infact not susceptible to getting 
dented. And even hail does not dent a metal roof. 
Neither high winds, nor severe weather conditions, 
and not even heavy rains can cause any denting to this 
material. Infact on the contrary, metal is one material 
which performs pretty well even during hurricanes.
Conclusion 
So if you are now convinced about 
this material, you can get it 
installed as your roofing material 
by contacting Enhanced Roofing 
& Remodeling which is a reliable 
roofing contractor in Arlington VA.
