LIFETIME ENERGY SAVINGS OR EVER INCREASING ENERGY COSTS?
There are essentially 2 TYPES OF METAL ROOFING.
1. Double Strapped or Batten Mounted Metal Roofing Systems with ASV (Above Sheathing Ventilation) and Concealed Ridge Vents
Metal roofing mechanically attached on to wooden strapping optimizes attic ventilation by using double strapping and DUAL RIDGE VENTILATION . Heated air beneath the metal roof panels is vented out of the roof via a dual ridge ventilation system which draws fresh cool air into your roof attic in Summer. This is known as ABOVE SHEATHING VENTILATION and it reduces radiant heat transfer in to your attic assembly by 45% . All ECO ROOFS are mounted on double battens and feature DUAL RIDGE VENTILATION that keeps your attic temperature the same as the ambient or outdoor temperature. This saves you energy on Summer cooling and Winter heating.
2. Sheathing or Deck Mounted Installation with External Stack Vents
Traditional asphalt shingles and deck mounted metal roofing systems transfer heat energy from the sun directly in to your attic . This drives up your Summer cooling costs and means air conditioners must work harder to keep your home cool.
In Winter, a metal roof built on a double strapped sheathing deck actually saves you on heating bills because a concealed ridge vent system creates less attic air turbulence than a traditional stack vent system like the Maxi Vent which protrudes from your roof to create maximum air turbulence in both Summer and Winter. This attic air turbulence disturbs the heat flux layer in your roof and drives up energy costs. A dual ridge vented roof with double strapping results in a more stable air mass in your attic. Less air turbulence in your attic means the heat flux layer on top of your insulation provides improved insulation.
Deck mounted asphalt shingles and metal roof shingles usually use external vents like the Maxi Vent or the Whirlybird vent which is designed to maximize attic air turbulence year round. Great in Summer, but certainly not optimal in Winter
The TRUE 20 YEAR 'LIFE CYCLE COST' of ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFING

2. Expected Roof Life - Whats the true expected life of your roof if you choose asphalt shingles VS a metal roof? ( 15 yrs or 50 yrs? )
3. Future Roof Replacement + Landfill Costs - At 3% annul CPI, are you ready to pay double future replacement cost + Landfill Eco Tax?
4. Future Roof Repair & Maintenance Costs- Will you need to spend on roof maintenance over 20 years? Climate change predicts YES.
5. Associated Building Energy Costs Over Expected Roof Life - Will asphalt shingles help reduce your homes energy consumption costs?
6. Associated Property Appreciation / Depreciation Costs - Will an asphalt shingle roof appreciate at the same value as your home?
7. Environmental Impact - Eco Sustainability - Eco Responsibly - Are asphalt shingles an environmentally sustainable solution?

ECO ROOF is a lot more than just a new metal roof. ECO ROOF incorporates a climate controlled attic ventilation system which turns the suns radiant energy into convective energy which improves indoor comfort by keeping your home cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter.
ECO ROOF is the metal roof on that pays for itself from energy savings alone over your roofs warranted life.
This is the reason we refer to ECO ROOF as investment grade roofing, because like all good investments, ECO ROOF pays annual dividends in the form of direct energy savings, plus your metal roof appreciates at the same rate as your home does without any penalty for future asphalt shingle replacement.
And, should you ever decide to sell your home, ECO Roof's 50 year warranty covering materials and workmanship is fully transferable to the new owner, which makes selling your home easier because buying a home with a fully warrantied metal roof means peace of mind.
None of these benefits can ever be realized if you decide to SPEND on another asphalt shingle roof instead of INVEST in an ECO ROOF
