We make decisions every day that contribute to our overall carbon footprint. Reusable bags at the grocery store or declining a printed receipt are some small steps we can take. But as home or building owners, there are even bigger moves we can make that have a larger impact. One such decision is building with metal panels. Whether you plan to use these panels for side cladding or for a roof, the sustainability benefits are the same. So what is it about metal panels that make them so eco-friendly?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recyclability<\/h2>\n

Metal panels contain a high percent of recycled materials – your wall cladding could have been a refrigerator or automobile in its past life. And when the lifecycle of your panels eventually come to an end, the material can be recycled yet again! When the service life of a metal roof ends (decades after installation), the material can be recycled yet again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Energy Efficiency<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to data from ENERGY STAR, heating and cooling can account for up to 50% or more of a home\u2019s total utility consumption. The use of metal roofing can help with energy efficiency through solar radiation reflection if you use unpainted metal, or by increased re-emittance of solar radiation with pre-painted or granular coating metal roofing systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long Shelf Life<\/span><\/h2>\n

While recyclability and energy efficiency are great reasons to choose metal, the biggest reason people use this material is it\u2019s long shelf life. Roof shingles have a life expectancy of 20 years; compare that to a metal roofs expectancy of anywhere from 40 to 70 years<\/a>. Not only does this save you money in the long run, but avoids asphalt shingles<\/a> finding their way into landfills every 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Reasons<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are plenty of other factors that make metal panels eco-friendly. They are the perfect material for collecting rain water thanks to their anti-microbial paint systems. They\u2019re also able to shed large materials easily without the range of crevices and cracks for those materials to adhere to. Metal panels also have the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any regularly used building material, so they\u2019re ideal for solar panel installation.<\/span><\/p>\n

For these reasons and more, metal panels lend themselves to the best that sustainable building has to offer, protecting the earth and your bottom line. Contact our team today to learn more.
