FAQs
How do energy-saving metal panels improve the energy efficiency of homes and businesses in Crab Orchard?
Our metal roofing and siding panels use high-reflectivity coatings that bounce a large portion of the sun’s infrared rays back into the atmosphere. This keeps attic and interior temperatures lower, reducing the workload on HVAC systems. In the four-season climate of Crab Orchard, this can translate to energy-cost savings of 10–25 % annually, depending on insulation levels and building orientation.
Are metal panels suitable for the weather conditions specific to Crab Orchard?
Yes. Crab Orchard experiences hot summers, heavy rain, occasional hail, and winter snow. Our 26- and 24-gauge steel panels have Class 4 impact ratings, wind uplift resistance up to 140 mph, and a slippery surface that sheds snow quickly. The factory-applied Kynar 500® paint resists fading and chalking, so panels retain their appearance despite UV exposure and temperature swings common in the Cumberland Plateau region.
Will a metal roof or siding be noisy during rain or hail storms?
When installed with the recommended solid decking, underlayment, and insulation, metal roofing is no louder than asphalt shingles. The fasteners and panel profiles include foam closures that dampen vibration. For siding, our concealed-fastener systems create an airspace that reduces sound transmission. Homeowners typically notice little to no difference in interior noise levels after upgrading to metal.
How long can I expect my energy-saving metal roof or siding to last?
Properly installed metal panels have a service life of 40–70 years. They resist rot, insect damage, and fire far better than wood or asphalt alternatives. We back our panels with a 40-year finish warranty and a 30-year limited weather-tightness warranty, giving you long-term peace of mind in Crab Orchard’s varied climate.
What maintenance is required compared to traditional roofing and siding materials?
Metal panels are virtually maintenance-free. Simply inspect once a year for debris in valleys or gutters, rinse off pollen or dust with a garden hose, and check for any loose fasteners after severe storms. Unlike wood siding, you’ll never need to repaint or reseal. Because metal doesn’t absorb moisture, issues like mold, mildew, and warping are eliminated.
How does the installation cost of metal panels compare to other options, and are there local incentives?
Upfront, metal roofing can cost 1.5–2 times more than architectural shingles, while metal siding can be comparable to high-end vinyl or fiber cement. However, lower energy bills, reduced maintenance, and a much longer lifespan make metal more affordable over time. Residents of Crab Orchard may qualify for federal tax credits on ENERGY STAR® metal roofs, and some local utilities offer rebates for reflective roofing that lowers peak-demand energy usage. We can help you fill out the necessary paperwork to maximize any available incentives.
