Cost of Metal Roof Panels

Commercial buildings such as warehouses and barns were traditionally known to have metal roof panels. The only metal roofs seen on residential buildings were small unkempt structures that had decayed through the year until it seemed as though the roof was the only part of the house that was still intact. Today, there is a rise in residential metal siding and roofing due to the increase in different types of finishes with metal siding and roofing products that allows the same wood-like or stucco-like appearances yet retain the durability, strength and cost of metal roof panels.

Benefits

The cost of metal roof panels is not the only benefit but is probably one of the initial draws for consumers who are considering what materials to use to redo or construct a roof on any type of structure. The cost of metal roof panels can run as low as three dollars and fifty cents per square foot, which is only three hundred fifty dollars for each one hundred square foot panel. Aluminum is the least expensive of metal roofing materials and is the one most commonly used. Residential roofing as well as some offices will panch out into copper roofing panels which are the most expensive costing metal roofing panels.

The cost of metal roofing panels, even using the more expensive ones, is offset by the savings gained through the longevity and low maintenance costs of metal roofs. Metal roofs usually last about forty years, so much so that many metal roofing companies will five warrantees on their roofs for twenty to forty years, depending on the company. The maintenance cost on metal roofs is also low at about thirty cents per square foot per year, which is much lower than other types of roofing that requires more maintenance.

There are some metal roofing panels that are called ‘cool metal’ panels because they do not absorb the heat of the sunlight like other metals do. These cool metal panels have a heat deflecting metal coating on them so that the heat bounces off and keeps the inside of the structure cooler, thus saving on air conditioning costs. This is a great asset for warmer climates and the savings in air conditioning costs soon offsets cost of the specialized metal roof panels needed for the job. There are also insulated panels which have a foam insulation that has been hardened in between the two metal panels leaving no air gaps and so ensuring that the insulation is uniform wherever the panels are found. These also cost more at the outset but save the consumer money in the long run.
