FAQs
What is radiant heat metal roofing and how does it work?
Radiant heat metal roofing is a steel or aluminum roof panel system factory-finished with a high-reflectance coating and bonded to an integrated radiant barrier backing. The coating reflects up to 90 % of the sun’s infrared energy, while the foil-type barrier under the panel blocks heat transfer into your attic. Together they keep attic temperatures 20-30 °F cooler than standard shingles, lowering indoor cooling loads.
Why is radiant heat metal roofing a good choice for homes and businesses in Evensville?
Evensville’s humid subtropical climate brings long, hot summers. A radiant heat metal roof deflects much of that solar load, cutting peak cooling demand by 10-25 % in DOE climate zone 4A where Evensville sits. The panels also shed heavy winter rains, resist mold in our high humidity, and meet 140 mph wind-uplift codes for Tennessee storm events.
How energy-efficient is a radiant heat metal roof compared to asphalt shingles?
Independent Oak Ridge National Laboratory studies show ENERGY STAR® rated cool-metal roofs can reduce annual air-conditioning use by 15 % versus dark asphalt shingles. In real Evensville homes, customers report summertime attic temperatures dropping from ~135 °F to ~105 °F and HVAC run-times falling by roughly one-third—often saving $200-$400 per year on electricity.
Will a radiant heat metal roof increase my property’s resale value?
Yes. Remodeling Magazine’s 2023 Cost-vs-Value Report lists standing-seam metal roofs recouping 61-65 % of their cost at resale—about 6-8 points higher than asphalt. Because an ENERGY STAR cool-roof also qualifies for a federal tax credit (30 % of materials, up to $1,200) and lowers utility bills, buyers see tangible value and often pay a premium in the Evensville market.
What should I expect during installation—noise, timeline, and disruption?
A typical 2,000 sq ft Evensville residence takes 3-5 working days. Day 1 involves tear-off (if required); days 2 and 3 lay underlayment, radiant barrier, and panels; flashing and trim finish on day 4 or 5. Crews work 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; expect hammering and metal cutting but no interior access except an attic inspection. We protect shrubbery, magnet-sweep nails nightly, and leave gutters clear.
What maintenance, lifespan, and warranty come with your radiant heat metal roofing system?
Galvalume® or 24-gauge aluminum panels have a 50-year manufacturer’s material warranty and a 30-year Kynar® color-fade warranty. Our workmanship is covered for 10 years. Maintenance is minimal: rinse pollen off each spring, keep valleys and gutters free of leaves, and schedule a free inspection after severe hail. Unlike shingles, no granular loss or periodic re-sealing is required, so life expectancy exceeds 60 years.
