Comparing Metal and Shingles Roof-Which One Is Better?

The roofing industry is really competitive and the competition is there among roofing materials too. There are so many of them and each of them is marketed as "the best in the business". This makes it really confusing for the people to choose the right one and after in-depth research; mostly buyers end up with two options, i.e. metal roofing online and shingles. 

Here is a blog post comparing these two really versatile materials on various parameters beginning with the lifespan of each.

LIFESPAN -

According to the experts, the average lifespan of any metal roofing Sydney is around 5 decades, but a lot depends on the maintenance too. With timely maintenance, this lifespan can be stretched to almost 6.5 decades and a lot depends also on the material chosen as the roof. 

This is why you will find companies offering 4 decades warranty against issues like calking, fading and chipping. Then, the metal panels themselves are also warranted for that same amount of time. 

On the other hand, the average life of shingles is between 2 decades and 2.5 decades along with the time that you increase with its maintenance. So in terms of lifespan, metal roofing Sydney is the obvious winner. 

COST -

This is where metal roofing online lags behind because after considering all the costs like of materials and labour for installation, etc., this one would be a more expensive investment. On the other hand, shingles are more economically available, but let us not forget the fact that they have a very small lifespan compared to metal roofs.

PERFORMANCE -

In terms of performance, there is no doubt at all that metal roofing Sydney is the most durable and hence, a more preferred option. As compared to shingles, their strength is unmatched and they can withstand harsh weather conditions very robustly and much better than shingles. Fluctuations in temperatures can also cause shingles to buckle and crack.
