You can say a lot of things about roofs, and most of them might be true. But one thing that nobody can argue with is that roofs are tops. This statement can be taken in several ways. A roof does for the top of your home. It can also act like a "top" or lid for your home, keeping the rain out. Then, there's the third meaning, which is the one we happen to like the most: roofs are the best. (People say things are "tops" when they really like them.) Since we like roofs so much, we've decided to write about them, and you've discovered the blog where we do that.

The Benefits Associated With Stone-Coated Metal Roofing
Brian Riley
New residential roofing products are regularly being created. As such, when it is time to replace the roofing on your home, chances are, there are more materials to select from compared to the last time you needed your roof replaced. One of the newer roofing materials available is stone-coated metal roofing. Stone-coated metal roofing is metal roofing that is coated with a stone material to help make the roof look like stone or ceramic roofs. Here are a few of the benefits associated with this roofing material.
Stone-Coated Metal Roofing Is More Energy Efficient Than Regular Metal Roofing
One of the benefits associated with stone-coated metal roofing is that it can increase the energy efficiency of your home. In fact, it is more energy efficient than traditional metal roofing. The coating helps to add more insulation to the roofing material, which helps to insulate your home. Ultimately, this helps to keep your indoor air inside of your home minimizing the amount of air that escapes through your roof.
Stone-Coated Metal Roofs Are Quieter Than Traditional Metal Roofs
Another benefit associated with stone-coated metal roofing is that this type of metal roofing is quieter than traditional metal roofs, including aluminum, steel, copper, and zinc roofs. One of the biggest downsides to metal roofing is that it can be loud, especially when it is raining. The stone coating helps to provide insulation, which helps to minimize noise.
Stone-Coated Metal Roofs Are Lighter in Weight Than Stone or Ceramic Roofs
One of the lesser-discussed benefits of a stone-coated metal roof is that these roofs are lighter in weight compared to stone or ceramic roofs. Roof trusses and support beams can only support so much weight. If your home is older, it may not be able to support heavy stone or ceramic roofing materials. Stone-coated metal roofs help you to get the look of a stone or ceramic roof without the heavy weight associated with these materials.
Stone-Coated Metal Roofs Have a Long Lifespan
The final benefit associated with stone-coated metal roofing is that they have a long lifespan. There are many factors that affect how long a stone-coated metal roof will last, including the type of metal and the type of stone coating used. However, generally speaking, these roofs last longer than traditional metal roofs, cedar shake roofs, and popular asphalt shingle roofs.
There are numerous benefits associated with stone-coated metal roofing, and as such, it may be the perfect residential roofing material for your needs.
