Understanding the True Importance of the Sun

By Maryl Joop


Corrugated steel roofs have been in use since the 1840's and yet are still relatively unused by the general public. Corrugated metal roofing has found its niche in the industrial and commercial realms due to its advantages over the traditional asphalt or clay roofing materials.

When you're living on a tight budget though, it can be hard to find ways to save money. Luckily, you can save money in the energy department as summer approaches with a few, timely tips.

While it is true that every roof type has its own advantages and disadvantages over the other roof types available, the misconceptions concerning corrugated steel roofs have lead the general public to miss out on an extremely effective roofing material. Furthermore, the two biggest concerns with metal roofs as listed above, the appearance and the noise, are not accurate in their representation.

Every day, the sun sends enough energy to Earth to power the world for a year. That's a lot of energy. Mankind is working to perfect the art of harnessing that energy. With new advances in technology, companies are installing solar mounting systems onto buildings.

In addition to these improvements in the appearance of corrugated roofing material, metal roofs can be painted or powder coated to which ever color the homeowner desires. With these variations and others that the contractor can provide, implementing a corrugated roof onto the top of a home has never looked better.

Save gasoline (your car's energy) by turning off the AC and rolling down the windows. Just as long as you're driving on normal streets, you'll save gas with a more natural breeze.

But this too is simply a misconception. Modern corrugated metal roofs have little room for vibrations in them which limits the noise they produce during a rain storm to equal or lower levels than the noise produced by other roofing materials.

A last note on car air conditioning, your car uses more fuel to produce colder temperatures but only needs electricity to move the fan faster. If you want your AC on but don't want to use up a lot of fuel, turn up the fan and set your thermostat for higher temperatures.

While wear and tear over time may cause a dent or two in the roof, corrugated metal roofs last up to two times longer than other roof types, on average from 50 to 100 years estimated, and require little to no maintenance during that time. Because they are made from metal, corrugated steel roofs do not rot like wooden shingles or wear out and need replacing like asphalt or clay shingles.

These two elements work together to form strong bones. They are limited by the amount of Vitamin D your body synthesizes though. This vitamin helps calcium and phosphorous get to the bone sites and be absorbed. Without them, your body wouldn't have anything to do with the calcium and phosphorous.

With all of the advantages in plain view, and with the two most common misconceptions about metal roofing put in proper perspective, the choice of having a corrugated metal roof becomes one that homeowners can now consider as a viable, and less expensive, option for their roofing.
