#1 Stone-coated metal roofs are energy-efficient.

• They can reflect heat up and away from homes.

• Taking energy efficiency even further thanks to infrared-blocking pigments in the stone granules, amplifying the heat-reflecting properties of metal.

• Increased energy efficiency by as much as 218% compared with 3-tab asphalt shingle roofs by a study.

• Homeowners can reduce cooling costs by up to 25%, if you're looking to sell the house, adding a stone-coated metal roof can be a lucrative selling point.

#2 Stone-coated metal roofs are sustainable

• Lasting two to three times longer than traditional roofing materials such as asphalt, wood, and clay tile.
  

• For the most part, old asphalt shingles are not widely recycled and are not biodegradable. And, as a petroleum-based products, they are not considered sustainable. (Considering asphalt shingles contribute 11 million tons of landfill waste each year.)

• When a metal roof does come to the end of its life cycle, which is measured in decades not years, they are 100% recyclable.

• The lightest weight roofing materials available,which means transportation is more energy-efficient. And it’s made from steel, which is endlessly recyclable.

• New homes designed with metal roofing can be built lighter, conserving natural resources

• Never ignore the contribution of a small piece of roof tiles to global carbon neutrality!

• With stone-coated metal roofing, homeowners benefit from an environmentally-friendly roof that provides both the strength of steel and style to suit any home.

#3 What sustainability means to us

Sustainability by definition is inherently broad. Generally, however, there is a commonly understood idea of sustainability – the capacity for continuance into the long term. Sustainability is a process, a journey without an end; continuous improvement is the end in itself.
