Today’s construction industry is witnessing an increasing emphasis on environmentally-friendly solutions. Sunshine Metal Supply stands out in offering eco-friendly roofing materials and accessories that exceed industry standards making us a premier provider for metal roof panels and wholesale roofing accessories that meet or even surpass these high benchmarks.
Environmental concerns continue to gain prominence and demand for eco-friendly building materials is on the rise. Metal roofing has quickly become the preferred material among environmentally conscious builders and homeowners due to its longevity, durability, recyclability, and inherent sustainability as a roof covering material.
Sustainable Metal Roofing Features: Key Components
- Longevity and Durability. One of the primary factors contributing to metal roofing’s sustainability is its long-term durability. While traditional materials often need replacement over time, metal roofs can last decades with no need for additional replacement costs or environmental impacts associated with production or disposal of roofing materials. Metal roofing stands out as an eco-friendly alternative to asphalt shingles.
- Recyclability. Metal is highly recyclable, making it an excellent option for those seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. In fact, an impressive percentage of roofing material is recycled annually. At Sunshine Metal Supply we take great care in adopting sustainable practices and our metal roof panels contain recycled content whenever possible.
- Energy Efficiency. Metal roofs are well known for their reflective properties, helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect and decrease energy consumption for cooling purposes. By reflecting significant portions of solar radiation back into space, metal roofs contribute significantly to reduced cooling energy use resulting in both environmental benefits, as well as cost savings for homeowners and businesses.
Environmental Impact
Asphalt shingles and metal roofing both impact the environment in different ways. Asphalt shingle production involves extracting and processing limited resources, leading to environmental degradation. Furthermore, manufacturing releases pollution into both air and water supplies. Metal roofing requires significantly fewer resources for production while having minimal environmental effects when manufactured.
Landfill Impact
Asphalt roof shingles produce significant waste that ends up in landfills quickly. By contrast, metal roofing’s long lifespan means less materials need to be discarded at once reducing the burden on landfills. Furthermore, recyclable metal materials provide a sustainable end-of-life solution.
