No. Metal Roofing does not attract lightening. If anything it will help disburse lightening. If a roof is struck by lightening, it is much safer than your traditional roofs because it does disburse lightening. In addition, a metal roof will not burn or catch on fire simply because it is metal.

This is probably the most asked question of a metal roof. The answer is no. When one thinks of metal roofing you often think of an open area where the metal roof is seen or exposed from the interior of the building. (A barn or stables for example). When metal roofing is used in residential or commercial buildings, the attic space and insulation acts as a sound barrier between the living area and the roof. Test have shown that metal roofing does not create any additional noise than tradition roofing.

Metal roofs are tough, durable and highly resistant to hail. Metal can withstand hail much better than fiberglass shingles. In tests the metal roof will not break or crack. In the case of excessive wind, metal has been shown to withstand up to 150 mph winds when installed properly. In addition, some areas of the country, insurance companies will offer discounted rates for homes with metal roofing.

Yes, but just like any other roof always take precautions.

Metal roofs are painted with high performance polymers. After extensive exposure for years there may be some change in color. Many years in the future your metal roof may need to be painted which costs much less than replacing a deteriorated shingle roof.

Many metal roofs installed on homes have lasted 80 to 100 years with periodic maintenance. Tests have shown that the layers or coatings both metallic and polymer have shown to outperform the corrosion resistance of other coated metals.
