FAQs
What is radiant heat roofing and how does it work with a metal roof?
Radiant heat roofing combines a highly reflective metal roof panel with a radiant-barrier underlayment installed just below the metal. The metal surface reflects a large portion of the sun’s infrared energy, while the radiant barrier stops the remaining heat from being emitted into your attic. Together they reduce attic temperatures by as much as 30 °F, keeping your living space cooler and your HVAC system from working as hard.
Why is radiant heat roofing a smart choice for homes in Strawberry Plains?
Strawberry Plains experiences hot, humid summers and plenty of sunny days. Traditional roofing absorbs that heat and radiates it into your attic. A radiant heat metal roof reflects up to 90 % of the sun’s radiant energy, lowering indoor cooling loads. It also sheds heavy rain and stands up to occasional hail or high winds common to East Tennessee, giving local homeowners both energy savings and severe-weather protection.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a radiant heat metal roof?
Actual savings vary with home size, insulation levels, and HVAC efficiency, but our customers in Strawberry Plains typically report 10 %–20 % lower summer electricity bills. Independent Oak Ridge National Laboratory studies show that combining a cool-coated metal roof with a radiant barrier can cut cooling demand by up to 30 % compared with dark asphalt shingles.
Can radiant heat roofing be installed over my existing roof, or will I need a full tear-off?
In many cases we can install the new metal panels and radiant barrier over a single layer of asphalt shingles, saving disposal costs and keeping debris out of landfills. We first inspect your deck for moisture damage and proper ventilation; if the decking is sound and local codes allow, an overlay is perfectly safe. If rot or multiple shingle layers are present, we’ll recommend a tear-off to ensure long-term performance.
Is radiant heat metal roofing durable and safe for my home and family?
Yes. The aluminum or galvanized steel panels carry Class A fire ratings and are non-combustible. A properly installed radiant barrier is made of perforated, Class 1 fire-rated foil that will not trap moisture, so condensation is not an issue. Metal roofing does not attract lightning, and studies show it can actually dissipate strikes more safely than other materials. It will not interfere with Wi-Fi or cellular signals inside your home.
What maintenance and warranty coverage come with your radiant heat roofing system?
Our standing-seam metal panels require little more than an annual visual inspection and clearing of leaves from valleys or gutters. The paint finish is warranted for up to 40 years against chalking, fading, and peeling, while the metal substrate itself carries a limited lifetime warranty. The radiant-barrier underlayment is warranted for 25 years. Labor on our installations in Strawberry Plains is covered for 10 years, giving you comprehensive protection and peace of mind.
