If you own an older home, chances are that one of the motivating factors to your decision to purchase that home was to not see it fall into disrepair or have to be torn down.

Metal roofing goes well with that thought because of its anticipated durability. It can protect and beautify homes for many, many years to come. Additionally, most metal roofs have high recycled content– about 95% for aluminum and 35% for steel. Plus, at the end of a metal roof’s useful life, it is 100% recyclable.

That makes metal roofing a sustainable choice for the restoration and preservation of your home.

Kassel & Irons Sustainable Metal Roofing

Your home’s roof is the first line of defense against weather problems. Older homes are particularly at risk from weather events:

• Sun
• Extreme Heat
• Wind
• Rain
• Hail
• Ice
• Snow
• Fire

The roof often takes the brunt of those things. And, as most roofs age, they lose their resiliency and ability to stand up to these things.

Sustainable Roofing Saves Energy

Choosing a roof that will reduce your home’s energy efficiency is a big step toward sustainability and especially important for older dwellings. In less than 3 minutes, this video explains the energy efficiency of metal roofing.

Sustainable Roofing: Metal Protects What You Already Have

When it’s time to re-roof an older home, make a decision for a long-lasting, protective solution. Replacing and recreating the details and beauty of a century-old home is costly. If you’ve already done it once, protect it and your investment, for another lifetime.

Only the very rich can afford to go cheap when it comes to roofing and buy a new roof every few years while having repair and damage costs in between.

Warranted for a lifetime, Kassel & Irons metal roofing has a design and color to match any architectural style. High quality, reflective finishes add durability and energy savings.

Older homes will always have maintenance challenges; your roof doesn’t have to be one of them.
