The Durability of Metal vs. Asphalt in a Storm
American Metal Roofs of WI are made to last. Snow, high winds, ice, and hail will not affect a properly installed metal roof. Our roofs are designed with durability that’s guaranteed for a lifetime.
Asphalt shingle roofs are manufactured to fail. They begin to break down even as they are installed, and move on to damage from hail, wind, water, and ice dams. An asphalt roof will not protect your home from winter storms.
How does an American Metal Roof of WI offer superior protection compared to an asphalt roof?
- Unlike asphalt, our metal roofings interlocking panels stand firm against hail, resisting damage. Asphalt is prone to chipping, cracking, breaking down, leaking, and blowing off.
- By screwing down the metal underneath the panels with a clip system, high winds don’t pose nearly the same problem. Anyone who’s experienced a hurricane force winds or other intense storms has seen the asphalt shingles littering their yard or neighbor’s property.
- While asphalt retains snow on the roof, metal makes it easy for snow to slide right off.
- Our metal roofs help prevent ice dams and snow slides, unlike common asphalt shingles.
