Whether you’re planning a complete renovation or installing a new roof going green can save money and cut down costs. Although often overlooked as an option investing in metal roofing is a wise choice. The best energy efficient and environmentally friendly form to use is recycled corrugated metal roofing. It qualifies for LEED credit awarded by the green building council due to its durability and reusable materials. Many commercial, industrial, and even agricultural buildings utilize this type of roofing as an inexpensive alternative. Residential homes can also benefit. Home owners who use recycled metal instead of the popular asphalt receive double the lifespan of their roof estimated at 25 to 50 years. Adding special finishing paints like Kynar can make it last significantly longer and save up to 30% on air conditioning costs as well.
